Because it's really easy to ban out / outpick Juggermaw
It's strong but it's risky. You can ruin your entire draft trying to get Lulu

Well, yeah but that has always been the case. It has gone from a hard to pull but usable strategy to never being seen again.
Daamn. EDG going off on this game. MIght as well go ap Nunu at this point.
SKT should surrender this one tbh. Just pick yourselves up for the next games.

It's just that people got used to it and with Kog mid being a thing it has never been so easy to cut off Juggermaw since it's basically the only reason Lulu would be picked nowadays.
And no team wants to get stuck with a Lulu pick they didn't plan for lol
time to revisit deft's diary

I think teams have basically set on Jinx as a better Kog'Maw. Less pure dps, sure, but the snowball potential, easy waveclear, much better kill pressure thanks to Chompers, and teamfight destruction makes up for it. Also the Juggermaw approach is better vs. squishies that have to run away from the T-Force empowered auto-attack - the likes of Maokai and Nunu will just walk forward into it.

If SKT don't put Faker in here I'll be shocked.

Faker is seriously final boss status now. Don't even bust him out until you're the verge of losing LMAO.

I don't get why they ban leblanc.
They could force EDG to ban or pick Leblanc and pick around it.

I like how Faker is basically an aura that makes Marin and Bang play their asses off until his Kass scales
And Deft is about to get Forgiven'd

Awesome tournament. GG world though, no chance Faker loses again. He's gonna go into the hyperbolic time chamber and emerge even stronger

oh man they totally had a counter strategy against leblanc
Stone Ocean

Operation "Pick Morg to keep faker busy and fuck over Marin" really paid off
Faker believed on his own hype on LeBlanc and choked on it.

EDG was smart to bait faker into that LeBlanc pick, and SKT should have put faker in after game 2

They also had a ton of spell mitigation. Probably need to look back if they stacked resist, but it seemed like faker's damage weren't doing much.

That's my boy PawN. Lets Faker take Leblanc in game 5, counterpicks him, and controls him. Clearlove goes for Eve when no one is playing her and pulls off flank after flank. Get in.
The first international title won by a Chinese team since WE at IPL5; the first time SKT T1's ever competed in an international event and lost; Faker's first ever defeat on Leblanc. The second international event in a row not won by a Korean team.

If you guys haven't already I would highly recommend going to a live league event. The environment is so friendly and you can literally start a conversation with anybody. On, top of that you get to meet your favorite personalities and player and they're also super cool to meet. Being in the middle of loud ass crowd cheers and team chants is just something that can't be replaced by twitch chat and watching streams.
I'm highly considering going to worlds this year because of my experience at MSI. More cute cosplay and travel pics incoming soon.

I think they should have picked Leblanc last.
Could have thrown off the Morgana or Eve pick maybe.

Meet up with me and Lonzz again. We both had great times in LA and South Korea. We even had a university reporter (shout out to Chong Un) show us around for the entire time we were there.
