Thank you for your caps-lock.

You fail to realize that the pros have been playing league since Beta and play for ridiculous amounts of time everyday. They have to live, eat, and breathe League of Legends to remain at the professional level. Team Solomid plays for like 16 hours a day, everyday. Look up "solomid practice schedule".

They both have the Experience AND Practice Time advantage when compared to the rest of the player base. For new teams to erupt onto the scene, like what Moscow 5 did, the team has to practice BETTER than their opponents, which means practicing together and practicing teamwork, which is why Team SoloMid changed their practice schedule.
