Were they good? ABSOLUTELY. Their util coordination was fantastic. I still think their Breach player is amazing. Skrossi is still decent, but not a tier 1 Jett.

Do I think they would beat DWG with 0 ping? Hell no. I think they would lose 2-0. I also think NU would roll BOOM if they played on LAN.
They got back onto "Normal" ping and now they're getting clapped. The more I watch, the more I'm starting to think that if your team plays a one-dimensional, relatively "low skill" Valo where you rely on rushing + taking aim duels and can't take map control and use it, you have an (relative)advantage with high ping. They were catching DWG out so much with Recon, Faultline, Flashes b/c 80 ping makes them near impossible to dodge. Same with NU.
Side note: BOOM had some really cool plays on Bind with Viper util and catching teams off-guard when they were vulnerable.

This was my take yesterday
"And I'm cautious to say this, but DWG definitely had a bit of a disadvantage here. Going from playing on 0~8ms matches to 80ms ping probably wasn't fun. But they should have practiced playing with high ping before. There was plenty of time after the announcement. It's their fault for not practicing enough."
Looking back on it now, I think you can't blame a team for not practicing enough with high ping when most of the other good teams they will go up against are on low ping.

Might be a React Andy take but after watching NU play, I'm sure that DWG/NU would have performed WAY better if they both had low ping.

Actually ge had an average of 70-75 ping all 3 maps against dwg
For the first map dwg had 90 ping not 80 and the next 2 maps they had 40

Nah. Watching NU play made me realize that Ping(+tilting b/c ping) is a massive factor in these "Upsets." Korea has fantastic internet coverage. They never have to deal with 80+ping problems in Korea.
