This series did not disappoint.
won but really, they're pretty much equal and how the game goes just depends on who doesn't get knocked out after butting heads.
e: also,
There were a couple of 'what' moments in Game 5. Like that fight near Baron which ended up going like; 4-0 for Fnatic; Kikis was tanking basically the whole of Fnatic for quite a while; and easily could have landed a 3; possibly 4 man Sejuani R.
He didn't even use it.
He had time to use it. He ran away halfway through the jungle.
But he didn't even R.
But ultimately the EU teams with the exception of Yellowstar in the Top 3 are all rookies. They have talent but it's unrefined. Hopefully they polish up by Worlds. Not expecting much in the MSI.
Although I find the NA opinions I see hilarious; claiming NA has a far higher level of play because it looked 'cleaner'. CLG.eu's games were clean but they never won anything of importance. And what's gonna look rougher:
- Two aggressive rookie teams both trying to make aggressive plays
- Two safe-playing teams with tons of experience playing each other and probobly know each other's playbooks back to front, playing very cautiously.
Of course Gambit-style vs Gambit-style will look more rougher than CLG.eu vs CLG.eu. Playstyle =/= level of play, and UoL/FNC G4 showed UoL is more than capable of holding down a lead and steamrolling it cleanly. That game was a stomp; while all of FNC's wins UoL fought back hard.
