I bet if they charged like 100 RP each for them they'd make all the money.
I would definitely support that. Elise icon please.

omg but with Vayne...
Stuns for days. Honestly, I think that lane would kill everything. Like 3 seconds worth of stuns.

It has one of the teams that is straight up an automatic "we're advancing, you're all playing for the other slot," and 3 teams that shouldn't be pushovers and can probably all beat each other(Fnatic is the favorite most likely, but LMQ or OMG beating them probably isn't even an upset, just slightly surprising). Group D is just Alliance vs C9 unless NJWS is the Ozone of last year.
That said, the only reason A isn't the group of death is because nobody gives a fuck that AHQ got the middle finger. SGW being a pool 2 team was always going to fuck someone over, Riot just made sure it wasn't any of their western babies. Because I'm very skeptical of LMQ, moreso than OMG, and as a whole I suspect C9/ALL are closer to NJWS than other TL folks think.

I will be able to supply photos of all the salty tears of OMG/LMQ as they get rekted by fnatic and blue while being able to fanboy over C9's perfect victory over the group. What is a king to a god

OMG should do fine in groupstage.
Their Achilles heel is that for their entire existence, they've pretty much never looked good in BoX play.

Pretty much that team's entire history is looking really good in Bo1 round robin, then horribly underperforming in any BoX series, often losing to way worse teams.
I think they'll advance from their group, but completely flop in bracket stage.

They haven't even looked good in the BO1s near the end of the split with dada. Dada is just unmanagable when he's doing his best dora the explorer impression, he's like the xaioxaio of a new age without some of the highlights that xaioxaio occasionally had. Still OMG should get out of their group as long as lovelin performs which should be fine in a BO1 situation and dada doesn't get caught too often. I'm probably negatively biased towards OMG atm because they looked so good with cloud then it turns out that cloud just couldn't work with the team so they had to bring in dada which was just urk.

I don't think that even gives enough credit to Xiaoxiao, because if iG's performance after his retirement is any indication, he was the only player on that team who had any understanding of the game beyond being a solo queue player.

Even if c9/alliance are "closer" they are still very far behind NJWS... did you guys watch the korean regional qualifiers ? -_-; There's a reason SK fucking Telecom Faker T1 isn't qualified.
The last "international" tournament we had was allstars, SKT were in a slump and won easily.

That's the funny part. I'm pretty sure that if T1 was in that spot and not Najin, people would say that T1 is guaranteed 1st seed in that group, even thought Najin is definitely playing better than T1.

Najin played well enough to make zefa look good, if that's not a sign of how strong they are atm idk what will.

Anyone truly following OGN knew that T1 not being at worlds was a possibility, heck, many even wanted KTA to earn the spot.
I see Shield as very stable team, probably because of the tendency they had to play and win very long games. I expect them to do fairly well at worlds.

Starting to love going exhaust instead of flash on any bruiser/assassin jungler (K6, Elise, Jarvan, Rengar...) Holy fuck that early duel potential just skyrocketed. Holy fuck that late game exhaust on a fed carry. Amazing.

if you're trying to cheese early game kills and start snowballing on khazix/rengar wouldn't taking ignite (like you sometimes see shacos doing) give your more kill potential?

I feel like the difference is, they cant set up jitb and have a slow/crit + the ability to get somewhere and set up way ahead of time like shaco can to make use of the ignite damage tbh. thats just me though.
but if youre going to cheese early outside of shaco i think exhaust would be flat better
