There are only two players in S4 Worlds who collected a win with a strong impression following: inSec and Looper.
Coincidentally, these two faced in the Finals, so it had became really interesting to see what kind of picks they will show.

Fiddlesticks- inSec/Star Horn Royal Club
Fiddlesticks- inSec/Star Horn Royal Club
It seemed like they will be eliminated, but inSec brought a turn around with jungle Fiddlesticks.
This pick kind of countered by Twisted Fate and he threw a couple of times. However he changed the mood throughout the game with a high kill-contribution and dominating teamfight at the important point. inSec's Fiddlesticks deleted opponents with surprising damage of his Ult and brought the hope of going to the Finals.

Pantheon- inSec/Star Horn Royal Club
Pantheon- inSec/Star Horn Royal ClubA hidden card that inSec used in semi-final Game 5. The game that decides whether SHR is going to the Finals or getting eliminated, inSec's Pantheon was overwhelming throughout the whole game. His magical ult that burns the opponent's Flash, winning teamfights, and further bringing a ticket to the Finals changed the drift of the game at all times when they're losing. It's pretty evitable that SHR's support, Zero hard-carried the game, but the situation would've been different if inSec didn't changed the atmosphere.

Singed- Looper/Samsung Galaxy White
Singed- Looper/Samsung Galaxy WhiteThe very person who poisoned all the members of TSM. He practiced the miracle of melting the opponents by just walkin around them. From the point of blue buff steal after the level 1 overfarming, the game was over. It was impressive to see the opponents not even trying to touch him.

Akali- Looper/Samsung Galaxy White
Akali- Looper/Samsung Galaxy White
I was like, what the hell Akali's used in competitives? She was even on a hyper-carry mode like in Soloqueue when it's already surprising to see her in competitive scene.
It was pretty refreshing since Looper played her a bit differently than normal. It was not like the one that dominates after an easy lane phase, but the one that is exactly a teamfight contributing top laner. He had taken part in teamfights at the right moment with Teleport after a safe lane phase, but sometimes took a back-position like typical damage dealers. Even she's a squishy, she dove in first aggressively, taking an aggro, and so on. His usage of aggressive top Champion and Teleport was like a "final round boss".
The most amazing pick of Season 4 World Championship.
Wow, this post was really interesting. I've only played League of Legends for a couple of months now, but this was very interesting to read. Of course, I am not a ranked player, so I don't know about a lot of the strategies about the game, but having seen a lot of these champions being played, I can kind of understand what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day, I will be good enough to understand everything. Hey, maybe you should do tutorials or recommendations for beginners like me.
Hey Robin,
DeleteSince the purpose of this blog is to have more in-depth and expert-level analysis (which seems to be a reason why there's no comments on a long posts because people tends to tl;dr :/), I would sublate posting stuffs for beginners.
However, as I heard this kind of message from you, I would love to do such things like inserting a hyperlink for some words or sentences to enhance reader's understanding of a context, just like what I did on SKT T1 post.
