I'm most interested in CLG vs AzureCats. CLG has seemed like they've been in a huge meltdown and AC seems like they've got the proverbial "hunger" to move to the next step. They definitely had some weak spots though from watching their games yesterday.
It's time for CLG to get benched :getin:

That does seem to happen a lot. I just want to see AC v CLG and Quantic v CoL. I'm assuming the CLG/Cats match is tomorrow, but I won't be able to watch it. Do the VODs get posted to Leagueapedia within 24 hours?

One of the things I've done when I go out and want to still catch a match is to leave the Youtube stream open on pause and basically let it "DVR" while I'm gone, and then just unpause it when I come back. But if at any point during the recording the video feed cut out for a second your recording is killed. Still I've seen a lot of the good matches that way. I'm not sure when the VoDs go up.

Azure Cats will absorb the good members of CLG and the rest will pout with GG. They really do deserve it for talking so much trash about the bottom 4 teams and TSM and then getting sent to relegation. They actually told TSM that they were so bad they weren't even worth scrimming against and then TSM finished up in First Place.

Leaguepedia VODs use the youtube stream so they'll be up immediately.

Also I think it's going to be Quantic, MRN, and Dig getting through. As for Cats vs CLG I honestly have no idea. I'm a fan of both teams but I honestly think it would be better for CLG to lose so that the players can get on teams that don't have Hotshot. Plus I really want to see bigfat back in the pro scene, I think he's improved a lot since being benched.

Quantic looking really strong. Also a very smart team comp. Zed against a bunch of squishies and making sure Ezreal is the only mana user will make Blue Ezreal that much stronger than usual.

It's also another case of stupid roster changes screwing a team. Chuuper not having played competitive ADC in a while can very well screw the team.

Their mechanical skills are second to none, they're a bunch of Solo Queue All-Stars that all happen to have been on the same team for a while. I remember watching these guys in the TSM Series and really enjoying them.

That's exactly it. Mechanically they're all amazing, but the regular Solo Queue Superstars problem aren't prevalent here because they've been on the same team together for quite a while now.

That last gank attempt just shows how heads and shoulders Lemon is above most Sona players in the NA LCS, and that turn-around on the aggression without losing anything but flash and a Shen ult.

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
From the look of this, Quantic will 3-0 Complexity which makes me sad. :smith: I like CoL, but drat, this play is second to none. I want to be Hai when I grow up. Quantic will be fun to watch, at least.

Also I'm going to go against the grain and say that Velocity will beat MRN ( go Goons ) and Dig will lose to TS. :colbert: I still say that Dig is even more a shambles of a team than CLG or CoL and their performance over April speaks to it. It may be 3-2, but I'm confident TS will take them down.

And the AC vs. CLG, we all know how that'll go. Hope someone picks up Doublelift, though.

They're taking the LCS qualifiers and making it looks like constant Season 2 M5 stomps. They're really going to give the top LCS teams a run for their money, and their shotcalling is amazing, and Lemon is such a drat fine support. TSM needs to be scouting this team out more than anyone else.

Riot just needs to pay pr0lly to wander around the studio and interview sometimes since that is what he has been doing most of the LCS anyway.

edit: Now that I think of it, I have never seen Lautermortis do anything noteworthy. Is he bad or am I just being negative about him for no reason?

Everyone on CLG are toxic except for Aphromoo and Link. There is no one worth taking since Demonlul is a good ad carry and Jiji isn't the type to throw people under the bus. I can see Crs picking up Doublelift. Chauster is lazy and doesn't care if he loses which is a problem with CLG they always just shrug off losses without making changes. Hotshotgg just has zero confidence at this point and Doublelift is good mechanically but isn't all that aggressive he's a good reactive laner but he's not a playmaker who will turn games around from behind. Poor Aphromoo hopefully he'll get picked up by some LCS team maybe MRN.
