Comments from Worlds

Quarter finals and semi finals are done

I am definitely cheering for EU and NA, simply because these teams are familiar to me. I can't say I were too familiar with Origin as a team but Soaz and xPeke are big names and has been for a long time. 
Unfortunately for the fans xPeke announced even before Worlds that he would quit the game. Considering his great way to play with intelligence. I am hoping that he is coming back into the world of gaming. Perhaps he wants to do like HotshotGG and Reginald did at CLG and TSM. They stepped down from playing in the team to go into management full time, taking care of business.
Actually, when reading some about it it seems that the rumours already say that he intends to be involved like HotshotGG and Reginald. 
Whatever he chooses to do. Lets hope that he is successful and coming from this competitive scene I have no doubt that he will be successful. It does not matter what he does. These pro players got to have the perfect state of mind where they believe strongly that they can do anything and that allows them to be successful.

Origin lost the lottery. They got to play against SKT in the semi finals. SKT had not even lost a tier 2 turret during the entire Worlds. During the entire worlds! They are simply here to just collect the trophy and go home. 
However, Origin played well and impressed me. It was a 3-0 loss in games. But considering the earlier stats in this tournament, they forced SKT to up their game.

Fnatic got to play against KOO. I guess this was our hope to have a European or a North American team in the final. Unfortunately they could not match KOO and lost by 3-0. Small mistakes being made that KOO used to get the advantage in the games. And not just mistakes, KOO do have some really good players of course. But at this level when the players are so good, it is often the mistakes that decides who will be the winner.

Fnatic were close to turn the game in, I believe it was, game 2. They had inhibitors down etc and were pressured. They managed to get a Baron though and got a chance to get back. KOO did finish the game and won it though. But there was a glimpse of hope for the Fnatic fans in the audience.

So KOO vs SKT in the big final. Who will win? 
Probably SKT looking back at the way the tournament has played out so far. But who knows, maybe KOO do have some trick up their sleeve. If they can avoid these misplays that most teams do sometimes they might as well win it.
They do have a week or so to prepare for the matches, preparing strategies and preparing picks and bans that might chock us all!
