I don't think LGD fear slark at all. Pretty sure LGD is more than happy with the draft so far.

lgd will win ti8 if they fix their throwing tendency especially maybe

Newbee have been soooo suck this couple of months barring this tournament which is still also an underwhelming performance.

I don't expect that. VGJ.Storm is playing well, but LGD has been playing better. This should be LGD favored, at this point, but we'll see what Storm can come up with.

yea I agree, I'm not making prediction. Just saying how funny it'll be should it happen.


VGJ.Storm has the chance to be only the 3rd NA team to win a "Premier" level tournament in the past 5 years. Technically 4th all-time.

according to twitch chat also the first ever major title for NA
come to think of it, before Mineski it was always won by EU+CIS

LGD is styling on VGJ.Storm.

In hindsight, we're seeing an interesting result of unbalanced group stage. (Though it wasn't intentional; coming in, those were balanced groups. Go go hard meta shifts.)

really hope storm can put up a fight in game 3. totally outclassed these first two games, but they took both games off LGD in the groups? I thought this would be much more even, but maybe LGD had to hit their stride in the lower bracket.

Yeah nothing more disappointing than a clean sweep. Hopefully VG.J can atleast take a game, although this LGD seems so scary.

Chalice had health issues during the groupstages. Panel said he fainted on the second day.
