As much as I love Dyrus, I wouldn't bet a cent on TSM to win this (nor CLG.Prime).
I'm really expecting M5 to win this, but as said, they haven't faced any asian team yet so, who knows...

This and your Reddit comment confuse me. Is it because I oppose a totalitarian future of TL?

Misguidedly cheering for SK, just because I want to see Ocelote lose his mind with excitement.

Just wanted to say that I agree very much with the power ranking. I would have maybe placed TSM a little lower, but other than that this is almost identical with the list I had made in my head.
Of course the real respective winning chances are still different from this, as some teams already have a very big advantage by being seeded past the group stage.

And I am already dreading the randomness of the group stage with the risky (cheesy) startegies these bo1 might bring with them. The International had such a better format with much more games.

Exactly. There's another member on the team (jungler ?) who get's equally hype but I only recognize Ocelote.

I like that Riot is letting us use team logos as summoner icons. I remember Pokerstars doing that for the World Cup teams in 2010. I want to see Moscow Five take it all, especially since Alex Ich recently got married!

Very excited for this - I'd love to see an M5 vs Frost finals, but regardless of outcome I'm sure the matches will be fantastic. Hoping CLG.EU do well, but expecting to cringe in horror as Snoopeh's Maokai (or equivalent) gets set behind in the early game via some aggressive invasion/counterjungling.

I haven't been following LoL extensively for like a year, these short round-ups are extremely helpful. Seeing what kinds of cats eastern teams have in their bags is super exciting.

I follow TSM the most recently, but it's really hard to root for them when they try to play the most generic and boring game imaginable with very solid and safe yet unexciting 8.5/10 champions in every lane with no particular synergys. Like mentioned, these solid fundamentals did carry them in the NA scene, but they HAVE to readjust and prepare something game changing to win.

I'm a total sucker for unique team comps so I'll probably be rooting for Invictus. Can't beat Viktor.
The highly anticipated (hopefully) Azubu and M5 matchup should be amazing. I wish there were more worldwide competitions of this caliber to matchup these usually vastly different regional metagames against each other to see whose understanding of the game is the highest.

Anyone else watching Korean OGN stream? 3 commentators + 1-2 guests (players usually) sitting on classy sofas and doing their usual thing. Production value a bit higher then Engish stream. When game starts the streams are usually within a second in sync so I have Korean sound and English picture. When game ends switch to full Korean stream.

CLGeu has been in Korea for abit, theyve beaten every team atleast once (even frost in some other weekly). Koreans arent that far ahead yet like in sc2


Asia 7 - 1 Rest of World

Let's hope the 3 remaining western teams can do well but I'm doubting!

Fantastic write up but not sure if this has already been noted but I think that TPA are being WAYYY too underrated. Not from the perspective of a fanboy but a dedicated follower to the SEA and Chinese LoL pro scene i can say that TPA are on a level of skill that rivals if not betters Azubu Frost. No way they deserve a 11th place and they've definately proven that with their devastation over Najin Sword. To be fair abit of Azubu Frost's success comes from their experience of playing the NA and EU teams in past tournaments, they've adapted their play to the slower and more restrained meta, it will be interesting to see how M5 plays against TPA this has been my most anticipated matchup of the whole tournament. too bad the DDos ruined the day
