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

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.
