Season 2 - TPA (first seed SEA) vs AZF (first seed Korea)

Season 3 - SKT (third seed Korea) vs RYL (first seed China)

Season 4 - SSW (second seed Korea) vs SHR (second seed China)

Season 5 - SKT (first seed Korea) vs KOO (second seed Korea)

Season 6 - SKT (second seed Korea) vs SSG (third seed Korea)

Season 7 - SKT (second seed Koera) vs SSG (third seed Korea)

Season 8 - Invictus Gaming (second seed China) vs Fnatic (first seed Europe)

Season 9 - G2 Esports (first seed Europe) vs FunPlus Phoenix (first seed China)

Kind of interesting how many second and third seeds have made it to finals - mostly due to how dominant Korea was from season 3 - season 7 lol

But quarters is a good evaluation. I knew skt would lose if they perform like they did in quarters even though i am a skt fan. And if quarters and semi fpx show up then fpx loses.

I don't like LS but he points out fpx flaws in great detail. Flaws a team like g2 can easily exploit. Flaws IG didn't recognise and played into their hands by brute forcing fights they shouldn't have.

LS has an extremely rigid view of the game that doesn't exactly line up with reality.
