In hindsight, I think EU had been better served with a more standard good mid pick, either peke, froggen or even bjergesen. Not from a skill point of view, they are close enough, but from impact on team style.
I think it's far more that Alex needed to pick HIS champions, Kennen and Trynd are incredibly strange choices for him considering his best champs are all Assassins Zed, Kha'zix, Kassadin etc...
Alex himself is one of the most team oriented Mid's in EU (while Froggen is arguably more skilled EG is very much him and four other guys, same to a lesser degree with Peke).

"We feel like Lee Sin really isn't living up to his name. We're adjusting him slightly to reflect this. Lee Sin will no longer be able to hit any of his attacks and is under the constant effect of Smokescreen unless he steps on a new teemo skinned mushroom that will cure him temporarily to remove these effects.".
I mean, I really like Alex and he has always made unconventional picks. Didn't he play trynd mid before? Though I dont particularly like it, it could work, but it would probably require more teamwork that it is reasonable to expect form an all-star team. For games like this, I would favor general solidity over oddball strats.

Nah, NA is still the worst out of any team here. Not sure about SEA but EU can beat NA.
Chawy and halleyular (I can't spell it) are better than people are giving them credit chawy is a damn good adc he might not be bebe but it's not really that much of a downgrade and while ohreal would have been better halleyular has been more solid than lilballz.

The 'weakest' link in the chain would be Pray, but when every other player on your team can make plays, all you need to do is not feed.
