​As one might imagine, it was very difficult to pick out top games from these two series as all of the games were incredible. However, the games chosen above were chosen due to the pacing and excitement levels within each of them. A good example is Fnatic vs. Royal Club Game 2 where despite a huge kill lead and awesome teamfight mechanics from Fnatic, Royal Club's more objective focused gameplay made for an interesting bout where Royal Club came out on top.

All of the games from SK Telecom T1 against NaJin Sword were incredible, but the best two were Game 1 and Game 4. Game 1's prior storyline made it exciting to watch due to the audience knowing nothing about NaJin Sword's strength against other top Korean teams due to their time spent in the NLB. They showed they could put up more than enough of a fight and also showed that they did not falter after a loss. With nerves of a steel, the two teams fought in the most close BO5 we've seen in an international tournament in a long time. Still, the hype was definitely in favor of Royal Club vs. Fnatic for the western audiences.
