+Midnightz312 SKT is an organization that is so good at cultivating their players mentally. I honestly don't think it has to be Faker in the team that made this team a world champion. The roster could be any players who are decent as long as they have high spirit and positive progressive mind and the org could turn them into a world champion. Remember that every exodus from the former SKT T1 K were replaced by the members from SKT T1 S who were a secondary team when LCK system was redistributed. So how would you expect that a team running with 4 out of 5 who are from T1 S and a new player most of the year, and sometimes even 5 out of 5 players are so, benching Faker (won against GE Tigers 3-0), would able to become 2015's world champions in the most dominant fashion ever? The only thing that separates SKT from other org is initially not the quality of players, its the coaching skills.
The korean casters predicted SKT to win while DoA, Monte and papasmithy predicted ROX Tigerx to win. Korean casters better than the three Eng casters confirmed
lol the principle behind montes argument was pretty valid. if the Tigers had adequate vision to see where duke was coming from then they would have had so many ways to disengage such as the trundle pillar, lissandra, corki valk, plus poppy. and if they used trundles ult on him then he becomes 40% less tanky so he'd just melt to the tigers damage dealers :p. that's why he got a QSS but it wasn't enough cus if he blocked the trundle ult then lissandra would've stopped him and vice versa. But every time duke went in they caught them off guard which was really nicely done of him :)
+Kevin Lee Yea I know what monte's point was. But Duke has been playing tank champs and he would have had to build that qss whether it was poppy or rammus. Idk why he was so against rammus. he generalized why he didn't like the rammus pick, but that could have meant for any champion that is tanky. When there is a trundle on the other team, with a Lissandra, poppy, you need to build that item, especially if you are playing tanky top lane. Duke didn't play rammus to initiate a fight, he played rammus to make picks and prevent champs from doing aggro ping pong, which rox tiger is so good at
+Se Min Hwang , +Kevin Lee The Rammus pick was actually a strong pick into the Poppy due mostly to ROX using steadfast presence to stop people from dashing in during peel or during Poppy initiation. Rammus can powerball into Poppy since steadfast presence doesn't stop empowered movement but dashes, and then Rammus can taunt which stops poppy from counter engaging. It was a little risky of a choice since Rammus would have a lot of trouble with both the Lissandra ult and the Trundle ult but as long as he got the power ball out of homeguard teleport it was almost always going to be a strong pick off.
+ninjaimers the video wasnt fully rendered, that youtube's way of handling livestreams, now its there, it take like 12 hours or so to fully kind of "re-upload" the video, either the beginning or the ending are cut off at the start.
SKT looking great Duke fitting in the team and Blank is the new rising jungle I miss Bengi playing but because he cant adapt to the meta he choose to be benched waiting for Bengi to fit for the meta jungle in this patch
rox tigers was 16W - 2L I pretty much thought they'll win the MSI... what happened to them getting completely rekt by SKT T1 even though they won against SKT in the schedules 2 times in a row
If you watch NA, EU, KR. They don't go on full battle mode till finals. They keep their best strategies only @ finals. That's how everybody does lately
the scary thing is, duke and blank are better than marin and bengi. that and everyone thought rox was going to win. i hate to say it so soon but this SKT team is even scarier than last years. once again I see no hope for the west to compete at worlds this year :/
+Heat I Disagree, I agree on the subject of Junglers, Bengi is kinda past his prime, he was never a superb mechanical jungler. Then again he still continues to surprise, Marin however I would continue to argue is better than duke, Better in lane? Probably, Duke has always been a Lane player, whereas Marin was the shotcaller, This skt seem to be less clean than last year, tbh idk if its just me but korea as a whole feels a lot less clean. SKT aren't as dominant as last year, the old skt, at least at the end, wouldnt've dropped a game to jin air. Also never count out hungry teams. G2 could cause an upset, even is SKT are the favourites, Chinese teams might too, depending on whether they decide to play like chinese players or whether they try and fit the rest of the world meta. China always has a little bit more upset potential due to the way that they play unlike others.
+Olly Olsen Or maybe a lot of teams step up thats why skt cant stay with the dominant performance. You can see it how good the other teams at lck right now 😊😊
+Carmen Sabado i agree Olly Olsen.Last Year SKT rooster for me is still stronger than today with duke and blank.. Because marin and bengi has clean plays and do less mistakes.
+Olly Olsen lol ur joking of course it's not as clean because the teams in korea are all really strong but skt against the rest of the world will be smashed g2 has no chance at all
+Garrett Clayton even if faker is an amazing player, you really cant underestimate the power of the rest of SKT. Wolf and Bang did absolutely phenomenal this set, and Duke was perfect for setting up and cleaning up for his team. Not only that but Blank was always exactly where he needed to be, and took every advantage given throughout the entire map at all times. And from the side lines, KkOma (their coach) led them through picks and bans pretty perfectly. Faker picks whatever he wants. but as opposed to rox's side, when their suprise pick (twitch) came, it was a defensive measure that didnt work out, but on SKT's side, their pick (rammus) was a mindgame to win out their lane. Faker is the best LOL player at the time, and he has been for a while, but give credit where credit is due. Faker isnt just a carry machine.
+shocker4510 Rammus wasn't just a mind game pick though. It was actually a pretty strong pick off choice against Poppy. Steadfast presence on Poppy stops people from dashing in which is hard to engage into, however Rammus powerball is an empowered movement so it can roll right into Poppy and start the pick off since it doesn't count as a dashing movement.
Does anyone know where to find the intro? I mean the long one, in which they show a recap of all the finals so far, and then Madlife and score appear next to the cup.
+Jessrey Mark Solijon I thought so too at first lol its just the cameras. They have some really cool dynamic cameras because they had the finals available for Virtual reality
+Nikki Jensen (doublecrossovers) i dont know if u are referring stage to "playing booth". To be clear, stage is fixed, but the booth does rotates as they change blue and red side on the following games
+fhdnsdlrk My bad, wrong choice of terms. Glad you still understood it. Yeah the playing booth. So it is rotating, and it doesnt bother the players while playing. Cool design. LCK is really on the top on this one.
+sy k +Takyr Dai 87k thats the amount earned by the team. Each player took home $14,633.33 which is still pretty good for 15 weeks of work but compared to the amount they make from streaming and endorsements its a drop in the bucket.
DONTworryIgotTHIS ik but im saying that the amount of money is 30,000 greater than the average americans' yearly salary - the team earned it in a single tournament, which an average american spends a year to earn. its still an enormous sum of money, esp if u think about the money that the other teams earn
it's because they want to avoid a 1v1 or a 2v2 game some matchups in the early laning phase can be bad, so if you lane swap, you can have a safer early game
usually the team wants to initiate lane swap (usually to avoid lane match-up) will send their adc and spt top to send a signal. In these game SKT just says NOPE and send their bot lane top to match the enemy

right
they just cant be defeated lol
yaaaaahhh but they're skt and former X2 world Champs and have the most famous/best player to have ever touched the game soooooooo
+xenteko to be honest it was because imt refused the tank top lane meta.... that and i swear they underestimated tsm

6-0 on Cass and Riven
9-1 on Zed
16-1 on Leblanc
3:07:40 Unreal when Bang tries to harass kuro but unleashes a combo onto the stealthed twitch
3:07:34
They spotted Pray goes into stealth, that's why I think SKT have already expected it before the actual fight
AND SKT PROVE YOU CAN CHANGE THE PLAYERS BUT THE FAITH REMAINS
+Midnightz312 lol seriously, your going to use a clg quote on skt... can u not disrespect the 2-16 world champs plz?
+Saeed K There you go again with that negativity
+Midnightz312 You can change the other players, but the Faker remains. There, FTFY :P

Best LCK Finals
Haha Monte let DOA have his SKT moment at the end of last game. XD Dude went absolutely fanboy. XD
The korean casters predicted SKT to win while DoA, Monte and papasmithy predicted ROX Tigerx to win. Korean casters better than the three Eng casters confirmed
I can't believe Faker was not the MVP of game 4. His ults won them the game :(
am i the only one who only came to see Big tigers singing again ?
as always lolesports not putting all the intro with the amazing production that ogn did.
+Ruben Trujillo it's a conspiracy, they don't want the westerners to see how even the korean production team outplays LCS
+Ruben Trujillo They're just jelly (¬⌓¬)

i saw it live :)
Monte: Rammus is pretty bad against this team comp
Duke: U wot m8
lol the principle behind montes argument was pretty valid. if the Tigers had adequate vision to see where duke was coming from then they would have had so many ways to disengage such as the trundle pillar, lissandra, corki valk, plus poppy. and if they used trundles ult on him then he becomes 40% less tanky so he'd just melt to the tigers damage dealers :p. that's why he got a QSS but it wasn't enough cus if he blocked the trundle ult then lissandra would've stopped him and vice versa.

Se Min Hwang tru tru that taunts so good in a teamfight plus the aoe from his ult does deceptive damage. So happy my boys SKT took it in the end :)

someone know the song from the trailer in this grand final? not that lorde one
i wish that i know
zella day- high :D
+Ibraheem Hosin thank you so so much
100 Millions of korean money its How much in Euro or Dollars ?
skt very strong
Im a noob syry but why are 2 always going top and not bot? If its lane swap i though that was later in the game
it's because they want to avoid a 1v1 or a 2v2 game
some matchups in the early laning phase can be bad, so if you lane swap, you can have a safer early game
usually the team wants to initiate lane swap (usually to avoid lane match-up) will send their adc and spt top to send a signal. In these game SKT just says NOPE and send their bot lane top to match the enemy
