League of Legends MSI Grand Final

It's late and nobody's on, but the Finale for MSI 2016 is on, and it's way closer than it should be. With CLG representing NA in the region's first Grand Final ever, and SKT falling in the shadow of their past seasons, it's pretty much a toss-up.

All the analysts are calling SKT 3-0 or 3-1, but I think it might go to a game 4 or 5, and I'm not quite sure for who's going to win.

Either way, I'm calling game 2 for CLG, since that's when SKT usually gets a game picked up on them.

current scores:
Game 1: SKT (close game)
Game 2: SKT (awful, dirty game)
Game 3: SKT (insane teamfights)

Sloppy. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

Game 2 sucked. Same bans, same picks. Everyone made a crapload of mistakes. I really can't say much more. The only reason SKT won is because they punish harder for screwups.

Hoping for a game 3 change.

Alright, I was wrong. SKT won game 3, too. I can't really think about how to analyze this game, since it's 4:30 AM and I can't think straight, but I personally think that CLG doesn't take priority of objectives, which isn't entirely their fault; it's just not how NA plays, and it's how an LCK game works for most teams.

Continuing on that, I think that's why SKT wins so many goddamn championships. The objective-focused playstyle of Korean teams gives them a massive edge over more kill-focused regions like NA and EU.

Either way, MSI was great this year, and I'm looking forward to Summer Split and worlds.

SKT won because they were the better team.

Likely the case.

Always the case in professional play. Maybe you get lucky in one game, but if your team wins multiple times as they do for championships...

That's the better team.

While SKT is an amazing team, they're slipping. Look at group stages compared to the IEM final vs Fnatic.
