the fact that last 2 international events were clean sweeps by 2 korean teams that are now fighting for 7th and 8th place in their region is kind of worrying.. I was expecting OMG to put up a better fight but I guess Korea is just too far ahead at this point.
Either way, great performance by SKT and another well deserved win.
It shouldn't be worrying at all, I don't know if you really keep up with the Korean scene very closely, but the problem came with the management. SKT has two teams, and since SKT T1K was in such a powerful position and absolutely dominating everyone; Kkoma, one of the two SKT Coaches/Analysts (and arguably the reason that SKT is so powerful), decided to focus on SKT T1S and left T1K alone for multiple patches, and currently you see the pieces being pulled back together. On top of this, their team captain PoohManDu was hospitalized, which had apparently demoralized them quite a bit, noticeably Piglet as supposedly they have a very strong friendship (I don't know where I would confirm this, so I say supposedly). Either way, these reasons mounted up and shook the team up heavily. Right now you see them trying to regain their confidence and they seem to be on the road back to the top. (I also feel like I'm missing another reason, idk, I'll edit if I remember/if another one actually exists rofl)
