They don't, I just think TL>CLG is more realistic, the second bracket is what I think will happen. CLG>TL is just ideal for preventing the TSM autoqualification.

If Dig beats both TiP and CLG, the hilarity would be *unbelievable.*

I figure my forecast is so insane people will call me a savant if I'm right.

I don't think tip losing to dig would be that crazy, still seems tip favored for sure but I feel like this thread in general undervalues having a sub in mid

It's not like we're in Season 3 or Dignitas have Faker as midlaner.
Rush/Adrian/Impact are in perfect meta to win games without caring about carries, unless they just stupidly feed everywhere.

If it was anybody but Shiphtur, I'd give Dig some credit. But his laning, especially abusing weaker laners, has always been really underwhelming.

I don't even think shiphtur's inability to abuse gate would be the issue, it's more likely that gamsu won't be able to consistently snowball a lead over impact. Maybe a game or even two could be taken but given how much dig needs gamsu to pop off I can't see dig going the whole mile as impact is going to be aware of how gamsu is dig's main priority and react accordingly. Combine that with kiwicore's often unsafe approach to laning and helios/shiphtur's lack of pressure outside of helios camping for gamsu and rush/impact should be able to take it.

Anyways my predictions:

TiP 3-1 Dig (Outlined my reasoning above)

TSM 3-1 Gravity

CLG 3-2 TiP

TL 3-1 TSM

CLG 3-2 TL

TSM > GV
TIP > DIG

CLG > TIP
TL > TSM

TSM > TIP
TL > CLG

I'd love to see GV beat TSM and I'm even liquibetting it, but my honest no bias feeling is the party's probably over for GV

I'd lose my mind if CLG actually won this thing, but TL just looks better

Also is there no EU predictions thread yet or am I just an idiot (both these things can be true btw)

EU predictions would be so boring nobody seriously thinks any team other than Fnatic is going to win, at least in NA there are people who don't realize TSM is going to win.

TL 3-2 TSM

My regular season predictions blow, so maybe my playoffs predictions will be better....probably not.

But, oh well:

TiP > DIG (Helios v. Rush is all there needs to be said about this matchup)
TSM > Gravity (TSM looked awful heading into the tail-end of this split, but their BoX experience can carry the day against Gravity -- even if Gravity tends to be a team that flummoxes TSM).

CLG < TiP
TSM > TL

TSM > TiP
TL > CLG
