Well sure they have Crown, but WE was very strong too. And in the first game they stomped SSG. In my opinion it could have gone either way. But better map play won over the aggressive style of the LPL.

Game 3 was kind of boring, but still interesting, strategy-wise. Again, superior map play, which was much better overall.

I would like SKT to lose for once, just so other teams might shine, but I don't think that will happen via an EU team any time soon. As much as I'd like my region to win, I have to say, EU and NA are just nowhere near as good as LCK teams. They're both the worst of the good regions. Though this year is as close as it's ever got.

And in the finals, as said in the article, I think SSG have proven that their skills have sharpened, but there's something about SKT. They always seem to gather all their might when push comes to shove. They'll most likely win again, but barely, just as they did last year. We'll just have to wait and see :)
