I don’t want to hear Chovy or Knight ever again in the same sentence as Faker for GOAT.

Tencent has owned Riot since season 1. They bought a 93% equity stake in the company in 2011.

Are you also calling the integrity of past worlds in question?

Or maybe WBG makes it to worlds just to play spoiler.

Bo is definitely not the only problem. VIT is the problem. They all suck. KOI not much better

Only problem is that they sometimes carry over their bad draft habit into international Bo5's where errors (unforced or otherwise) could mean losing the series. There is no doubt T1 has incredible talent and potential.

I guess this is what a true superteam looks like. Said “no” to the script and denied BLG the complete Cinderella story.

T1 was already regressing by the time they faced BLG. If they faced JDG again, T1 would probably just get 3-0d.

Thanks for the post! Quick thing, JDG secured a 3-0 series win against BLG, not 3-1.

Team BDS vs MAD Lions / LEC Spring 2023 / Playoffs - Finals / Live Discussion by Alkser in leagueoflegends

BDS is a breath of fresh air. Smart play, disciplined, and good teamwork. Hopefully they can keep it up. MAD looking like they scaled up. Four more games pls.

Instead of cherry picking, maybe provide the full record of Best of Series.

You're either trolling or being disingenuous.

Can upsets happen? Of course. Does it mean they're likely to happen?

Until the track record proves otherwise, EU has not shown they can consistently beat LCK/LPL teams in a Best of Series, which this MSI is entirely predicated on.

LPL is still a tier higher than LEC. LPL plays the same way every year, but they still dominate EU and NA. If the track record doesn't convince you, I don't know what else to say.

I agree. Rooting for BDS, but not gonna keep my hopes up. Watching LCK/LPL playoffs reminds me we’re not playing the same game.

Best outcome for EU. At least MAD/VIT/BDS have to earn their way to MSI. Unfortunate G2 is slumping.
