Bjergsen is the greatest midlane in the world
I really feel like Link lost CLG that game. Seemed way out of sync with the team. Don't stand on top of the other carry in the late game.

i mean doublelift would've had a pretty terrible score himself if diamond wasn't feeding him random gold 5 lee sin q kills

but yeah link played horribly that last game
 
Thinkcard was clearly way out of his depth against Diamond in such a setting. Not his fault, but he got punched around during laning phase in all four games (though Diamond did made a bunch of weird errors on Lee Sin), letting his lanes get influenced heavily. Not that that excuses Link for the beating he took of NiQ - easily the best tournament of the latter's career. Bit of bad luck losing the 2v2 in mid 2-0 in game 1 though, which let Diamond take over.

P1noy is the opposite of Genja, but while his all-out aggro style worked in game 1, it also cost Gambit dear at some points in the later games. At least his relentless splitpushing did a ton to pressure the map in games 2-4, putting pressure on CLG's shot calling (which varied between okay and awful).

Game 2's ending is an all-time "League of Fails" moment. It's all the better because the game had some excellent play and, with how chaotic and aggressive the teams were, looked it was definitely heading for a final, deciding teamfight. All the tension just got released as farce as everyone realised what a terrible decision CLG had made.
 
If you're looking for standout games from Korea so far, take a look at:

Jin Air v Samsung Game 2 (best individual game so far)
CJ v SKT
CJ v Najin (all three, top class series)
