Samsung Galaxy beat SK telecom T1 3-0 in what I saw as underwhelming series.

It was a quick series just as faker wanted. Prior to the series, he said, "I hope to finish the final series within 3 games so I can go eat quickly."

With SKT being the previous champions, everyone was eager to see them win again or lose. Yet the narrative was never to see SSG win, rather SKT lose. With this hyper-visibility of only one team, I think many people (including myself) just saw this from the SKT perspective. I wouldn't have ever guessed SKT would have lost 3-0, I assumed it would be a hard fought match between two giants. Rather it was one taking down a dynasty very easily.

As I watched the series, I was in shock why both SKT's champ select, their passive playstyle, and just Bang playing like a literal dumpster. And it didn't help that Ruler was playing out of his MIND. His last play, the flash varus ult, was just sketched into my brain permanently. 39 minutes into the game with SKT having a 2k gold lead, ruler flashes and ults Faker. Faker doesn't use his flash and he dies and the game is over. Just like that, SKT has fallen.

As the games are analyzed and the year of League is summed up, whats obvious is that Korea is still on top. Its obvious Faker is still a god, but it's also obvious SKT has to go through some changes. I think what really shocked me was not the lose, but rather the picks/bans.

Picking Leona and Yasuo just why.

Always banning Galio...just why.

I think it's just been hard to let the view of SKT being the best fall. But its true, they fell.

And they didn't deserve the win.

Faker didn't deserve the win.

Samsung did.

Rule did.
