Did Gen G's roster change much from last year? Mind blown the champion is eliminated in group stages and KR is out.

Impact is fine and will count as a domestic resident soon which means TL can import someone in the mid lane or bot lane (probably kick Olleh). The issue is Pobelter is massively outclassed in the international scene and Impact isn't a great carry top player so TL is basically a Walmart RNG.
KT Rolster is probably the favorite now after RNG looked suspect today. Amazing performances by Vitality and C9; shame C9 lost the tiebreaker. They might end up having to play against say KT Rolster which would be tragic.
Wouldn't it be something if only KT Rolster made it out of group stages out of the 3 Korean teams? I'd expect Afreeca + KT to make it out though when it's all said and done.

Gap is closing? I’d say yes
Every year plenty of western teams play significantly under expectations (tam last year for example) and people chalk it up as the west is playing their best but the Koreans/Chinese are just so much better
Well you can apply the same logic this year when people are saying lck teams and lpl teams are choking
C9 has solidified themselves as the best western team, over the years, behind fanatic.
It’s goes to show that the western teams that play to their strengths instead of copying eastern strats tend to do well. Following that logic, I think going forward, western teams should only scrim each other to prevent eastern teams from blatantly leaking all scrim results to each other

TL most likely won't make it through. You need a solid midlaner and Pob is their weak link and other than Galio there isn't really a midlane "safe pick."
hard to hate on a fellow wings fan but….
i need to cut… badly.

I feel like if it were seasons 3-6, Asia would still be tearing the West apart. But maybe I'm wrong and the West actually is better. I just can't help but think that it's the nature of the game now and not our increased level of play.

I dunno. I really don't think the changes, for the most part, made it harder for good teams to excel. There were times this season where 1 ace ends the game at 20min and that just helps the better team.
reapered is really good at pick/bans. Arguable the best p/b coach at worlds. G2 is pretty good at 1-3-1 and have a 100% winrate with heimer. Combine that with the east not looking that clean

G2 looked pretty joocy today. Thank god for the viets tryharding and putting FW in that tiebreak
Hopefully dlift doesn't choke tomorrow. It will come down to EDG vs TL, which could easily go either way.
So far none of the Asian teams are looking unbeatable. First time in years

I still don’t blame tsm for being proactive and dropping doublelift. He isn’t capable of getting out of groups because he’s the biggest choker of the west
Sure it didn’t work out for tsm(yet) but at least they didn’t settle with mediocrity

Dlift may be a choker, but he played well in groups. Honestly Pob and xmithie are lacking in synergy, and made a number of really bad calls.
C9 is NA's only hope now, but imo they are weaker than TL and got lucky that genG choked.
Any1 else think KT let EDG win that game just to knock NA out?

I feel like pro league would actually be really hard to intentionally throw games in…casters notice 99% of tiny misplays, so it would be super suspicious if there's a huge cs deficit or blatant lack of positioning, etc.
