As well, Kiin has rarely been the reason for his team losses while the bot lane has been an issue for Lehend teams. GenG beat TES by nearly being reverse swept after they figured them out and then got clowned on 2-0. The reality was at MSI everyone assumed Lehends/Peyz were going to get gapped and playing well above their expectation.

There's really not much point in a League of Legends Olympics. 1. Korea and China are countries and have a region for League by themselves (and Japan too, but let's not joke, they're beyond terrible) so basically it's Korea vs China right from the start and if Asian Games taught us anything, it won't even be close and Korea will sweep again. 2. The viewership for games without Korea will be beyond atrocious. The numbers will be so embarrassing, it'll be embarrassment like no one has known before. 3. Some teams are barely even a team. Let's be real, no one has heard of the vast majority of the players that are not from Korea and China, most likely because they're struggling in diamond, if not worse.
