Origen had a blistering first week in which they swept the opposition by drafting around them.OG feels slightly improved since summer finals (let’s not forget they took FNC to game 5).Their members sure practiced a lot coming in to this worlds.xPeke and SoaZ always tend to show up big at the season finale.
FW ,the second seed from LMS tends to adjust to the enemy team;s level.They had incredibly close games against pain gaming and easier wins against CLG and even KOO.
Meaningful soloQ tendencies: Origen – Niels spammed jinx lately.May prepare it for a takeaway. Nl played an serious amount of Caitlyn games. Notable draft problems. Karsa – Nidalee is a must ban or takeaway.He is far too confident on the Bestial Huntress. Maple – LB is an issue. NL- Jinx (also he may be unable to play tristana) On origen side soaZ - Gankplank
Niels - Kalista
FW beat KOO not once but twice.That will be enough to keep OG on their toes.The very first win of FW was due to some ridiculous gaps in KOO:s pick ban phase by allowing both GP and Nidalee to go through.And the questionable tp uses by Smeb did not help,The second game was decided by Maple’s Profficiency at LB
How OG wins : If they snowball the SoaZ edge in the match-up by winning the 2v2 topside since the jungler-toplane synergy is a recent addition to FW’s arsenal.And by being better at using the double tp.Although it will be hard to pull off seeing maple’s tendency towards assasins.
How FW win: Control Soaz and win botlane.While OG botlane is the strongest 2v2 in Europe, FW main strength lies in AN carry potential. Match-up to watch – NL vs NIELS.Both teams seem dependent on their ad carry having a confortable champion and a good match-up.
Important picks during the series:Jinx,Kalista,Gankplank
What to expect: Probably an OG victory, something among 65-35%
