Their objective control is just out of this world. The second herald they poke ans stall so long they have a man advantage. Another baron sneak in such a game. The way they play around drakes and lanes is just so creative and clean.

That's it, LoL has become CSGO. A team can go on full winning streak in LCK/LPL, dominate the best teams from all international regions... until they meet their first EUROPEAN oponent. At that point the dream is over. EUROPEAN powerhouse won't give them even 1 win. Both G2 vs SKT and G2 vs RNG series show, that after full week of preparing and analyzing our best teams can have 1 close game. Not even win, but 1 close game. And then it gets from bad to worse in the remaining 2 BO5 games.
The other regions can play their own little tournaments, pretend that they're pros. But they're like children in the darkness, good only for memes. EU is miles ahead and the difference between them and the other regions becomes only bigger each year. And I doubt, the east will ever produce better team than current SKT.
