Vision control is still the most underrated part of this esport, in my opinion. I couldn’t tell you how many times I see something happen, that is preventable, with proper vision control.
G2 are literally the only team I’d consider even remotely competitive with the East. 7 wins in the last 16 series from NA. 7. That is not even the same pitch.
FURIA should be fine. This was an opportunity to be reminded that rift rivals is not MSI or Worlds. You have to finish. They do the right things on the rift, and put themselves in position. Just have to finish. I still believe this region is the one with the most growth potential
What is most incredible about my latest few posts in regard to the west vs east.... is that G2 literally has 12/16 (75%) of all bo5 series wins by the LEC and LCS combined all time, as it pertains to against LCK/LPL at MSI/Worlds
A kid from Williamsville just hit a homerun in MLB while a kid from Amherst is catching. Two guys from the next town over from each other playing against each other in the big leagues… That is INSANE
Series length by minutes played is such a fake way to determine a hierarchy of teams.
I’d much prefer a team that played early game, and went for it, than a team that scaled to a 35 minute slow death by a thousand cuts.
Play from a lead as the underdog.
Could be wrong. But I believe that was the first bo5 win by any region involved in the LCP over the LCK/LPL since Taipei Assassins in Season 2. First for Vietnam ever
TES were the only team at this event who had some negative analytics going in. TSW are one of the best teams itw as far as dominance (domestically) it’s why they sit 5th in my 2026 yearly rankings. I expect them to drop but they can certainly match CFO of last season. Hizto >

This was Xun's 6th Kindred game between MSI/Worlds over his career, now 5-1.
This was Knight's 6th Syndra game between MSI/Worlds over his career, now 6-0.
