i think GP is going to get nerfed again because the fact that you can go 0/3 in laning and flame horizon someone with standard lanes right now is absurd.

To be fair, so far everyone in western league looked like poo poo. Maybe TSM (or CLG :downs:) will change that, but I don't have the highest of hopes

My prediction:

TSM > CLG 3-0
TSM > C9 3-1.

I never liked TSM because of Regi, but their current team is fun to watch. Hauntzer is a treat to watch. I also think they're the only NA team that has a chance at winning anything after groups. I don't think C9 nor CLG have a chance at getting out of groups at Worlds. And if CLG gets to worlds, I think they're just going to get stomped.

Without knowing group draws, I'd guess NA teams' chances of getting out of groups at something like:

TSM: 80%
C9: 30%
IMT: 40%
CLG: 10%

G2 drafted three losing lanes in a meta about snowballing the game during laning and won. thats gonna be a problem against other teams, but i would hope that they dont keep doing that

Why isn't anyone in the LCS building Talliyah comps she's the strongest mid laner this patch

Any of the NA quarterfinalists and Splyce could've beaten G2 if they played like that

They won because they are playing against the guy who thought sightstone Nidalee was good and the guy who got bodied by challenger series adcs

Unless its permabanned I assume TSM will build atleast 1 Taliyah comp since Bjerg is the best western Tali player.

taliyah comp: a comp where you pick taliyah, and also any other four champs

i mean there's some super good ones around building terrain or picks or whatever but she's just legit the strongest mid laner atm bc of her ability to push every single champ in the entire game in.

you know its not like kikis was a super great top laner but expect reminds me of huhi in that the assumption was he's going to be good because he's korean but i just don't see anything he's good at, other than being on a good team. he got a ton of jungle attention this season and didnt really do much with it

I'm assuming he must have performed in scrims or something but I haven't seen much evidence that EU teams have any idea wtf they're doing so that's probably dumb of me.

They didn't kill Soraka in the all-in early in the lane, she's going to strangle the gently caress out of that lane for the rest of the phase and totally heal off all of Lucian's chip damage. Soraka is really strong and Lucian is definitely not.

e:
Soraka E-zone is also going to annihilate Shen, Gragas, and Leblanc.
