@@thezedmain1603 maybe you didn’t watch the past years, but some of our na teams permanently lost 1 game to minor regions in groups. It’s a huge improvement that we have a team that gets it done. Just because t1 looks shaky doesn’t mean at all that na or eu teams could take advantage of that

Coincidence or is the new gormat for lcs better for them? Probably coincidence im beyond having hope at this point. I just wish it was true because how hype would it be if all regions were cracked we would jave so many good games to watch.

[@Zharghar08]

Of course it is. LCS has been effectively behind in experience compared to LPL and LCK for a long time now just do to format diff. Less pro games overall accrued, and less experience with Bo3 formats means that they are always way less prepared when heading into international competition on top of any skill differences that are already present. It's like asking to lose. Now they should at least be on the same level of conditioning. Still behind overall, but it's the most important first step to eventually, hopefully, catching up.

[@barelyaliving1473]

I think APA is unironically one of the best ziggs in the world(from all the ziggs I’ve seen from other pro teams) he just knows the champ better than anyone else who plays it. This was a good series though overall! umT1 running it down at the crucial moments, and losing to a baron flip when you’re up 5k is such an NA way to lose, but all things considered Core is looking the best he’s looked in years, Impact is always solid, APA has become a bit of a monster, Yeon is stable and can be surprisingly clutch, and umti is on sej/maokai duty.
