In a podcast IWD said he thinks JDG is still the best team ever in a single year even though they fell short at Worlds, because they only lost one BO5.
What do you think of this take? Who is your best team ever?
18mil team = the greatest team. Shocker.
I think JDG too but this sub is in hate mode.
T1 2015 were very good and had a better run but the game was way less competitive then
G2 2019 /2020. are contenders
RNG 2018
Damwon 2021/2020
No worlds no best team
JDG is for sure top 5 but I don’t know if they’re above SKT 2015, SKT 2016, FPX 2019, DK 2021
Whoever wins worlds is the best team of that year. Worlds is the S+ of all S tier tournaments
However, if u make it subjective, then any team could theoretically be the best. If you subjectify it by how many Bo5, Bo3, region tournaments they win, if its raining or sunny, which teams did they beat, their kda, etc
Wrong
T1 vs JDG this year; MSI 2-3 Worlds 3-1
JDG aren’t even better than T1, head-to-head. How can they be the best this entire year?
I don’t rate domestic comp results when talking best team. I only look at international comps, and I rate Worlds much higher than MSI.
I think IWD is a very bad analyst, that series was more on knight and 369.
Kanavi, ruler and missing were trying but knight and 369 were too heavy
2016 skt is the greatest team I’m a year, no other team comes close. Msi and worlds winner
Since jdg didn’t win worlds this year, people will remember them more as a failure than a success
On a swing, if you had MSI and Spring splits on one side. Summer and Worlds on the other. It will sway heavily toward the latter.
I get what IWD is saying, but no way can JDG — or any team for that matter — be called the best when they underperform at World’s.
It’s the biggest stage of the year and the one where it counts the most. A loss here heavily outweighs their winnings for the rest of the year.
Imagine taking anything that spews out of IWD’s mouth seriously.
SKT 2015 by far in my opinion:
- Won LCK Spring (3-0 finals vs GE Tigers)
- Runner-ups in MSI 2015 (losing in game 5 vs EDG)
- Destroyed LCK Summer (3-0 finals vs KT)
- Destroyed Worlds (only lost 1 single game in the entire tournament).
2015skt, a lot of people say ssw2014 beats this time but I disagree. SSW Revolutionised the game absolutely no taking that away from them but 2015 SKT did everything thing they did and did it better as well as having the a prime faker and Marin (who’s high id argue being bested only by 2016smeb and 2018 Theshy)
