Wouldn't 100% agree on the greatest Bo5 ever.
We had loads of great games through the years. One of my all time favourites was Misfits taking SKT to 5 maps in 2017. Ignar with the surprise Blitzcrank or Fervor Leona are definetly a treat to watch.

That series is one of my favourites. Ignar really showed what support could do. I was disappointed when they tried to go back to a "meta" style in I think game 5?
i loved that series so much.. but, as with all iconic worlds picks, that cursed my soloq for weeks after that series with fervor leonas "accidentally" stealing my kills
yeah they were so... IgNarant
They played meta the whole series, this revisionism is hilarious. Sure they picked Blitz/Leona/Alistair, but they were still only doing that because they secured Ivern Jungle or Karma Mid because at the end of the day they were still just doing the "Ardent buff our ADC to high hell and smash our faces together ARAM style" meta. They were still building Knight's Vow on Sejuani Jungle and Shen Top to put on ADC too.
There was a significant adjustment in their playstyle from first game, to the two wins, to the last losses, and at the time it was even called out by the casters that they were going off their style to the "expected" style.
It was the top comment of the post-match thread 4 years ago; I'm not sure how you can claim it's revisionism.
At 2017 worlds, there were three picks of Leona, three picks of Blitzcrank, three Sivir and two Alistar. Of those picks, one of Blitz, Ali, and Leona were picked in this series, as was one Sivir game. This also one of three games that Karma mid was picked (and the only one that won). It's not really an argument that Misfits tried to play a much faster aggressive style, and for 2 games in that series, it worked. When they went back to something that was less aggressive and focused on scaling, they lost.
