So, watching the restream of TSM vs Team MRN, I gotta say, I'm not happy about the game 2 picks for MRN. They take two of my mages as joke picks D=

You play Fizz or Heimer? The things you learn...

Anyway, pretty fun game. Those Regi Qs when the fight in MRN's jungle erupted were stellar.

Viktor is a mage you know.

And he fiercely defended Heimer in GD a few pages ago.
I'm curious how the bans will go against Dignitas. Surely people didn't forget about their dreaded Soraka-Lulu solo lanes protect the Kog comp from IPL4.

I was aware he was a huge advocate of Viktor, but he said two mages and I wasn't aware wether he played Heimer or Fizz, hence my confusion. Sorry if my wording was a bit unfortunate or unclear.

Na, it's my bad, I just noticed I read it as "Fizz and Heimer" instead of "or".

Hi guys. OP has been updated fully with Day 1 results. Are you ready for Day 2?

Important Matches:

TSM and CLG.EU finally stop scrimming and face off for real in Winners Round 3A
CLG.NA and Curse.NA face off in Winners Round 3C. HSGG v SaintV jungle match gogo~
Dignitas and Team Dynamic (former Monomatic) face off again after IPL4, and TD will be looking for revenge. They very well might get it
Potential all-TSM Winners Semifinal
Curse.EU will be fighting for survival in the upper half of the Loser's bracket. They'll likely make it past TGF, but then they'll have to face the loser of TSM v CLG.EU and TSM.Evo v Fnatic. It doesn't look pretty.
SK Gaming and mTw are fighting for survival in the lower half of the Loser's bracket. But they'll have to face the roadblock that are the losers from CLG.NA v Curse.NA and Team Dynamic v Dignitas to make it to the Loser's Final. Their chances to make it out may be lower than Curse.EU.

The games should be interesting; just a few hours can't wait.

Predictions:
1. TSM are very slow starters and usually take a while to warm up to the game. Doesn't help that they are the first game of the day. OddOne has to play well and hopefully stop Dyrus from feeding top. Regi has a chance to match up his aggressive play to Froggen's counter-style. Bot should be even or slightly in favor of TSM. In terms of teamfight I'll give a slight advantage CLG.EU. Overall this would be the match to watch.

Players to look out for: Froggen, Regi, Wicked, OddOne
2-1 TSM

2. I was not impressed at all with xHazzard's play day 1 but who knows, he may prove me wrong. On the other hand, Westrice can sometimes pull a Regi and look really good or feed hard. HotshotGG will have a chance to show how he compares to a top jungler this time and Saint may just take advantage of his favored tank junglers (Amumu/Naut) and counterjungle him crazily with Mundo/Shyvana. Nyjacky imo is 100% the better laner compared to bigfatjiji but the latter is arguably better in teamfights. However jiji still looked shaky in the games versus Orb. Unless Derpalift makes an appearance bot lane should be in favor of CLG.Prime.

Players to look out for: HotshotGG, Westrice, Nyjacky
2-0 Curse

3. TD is very good at snowballing the game in their favor but Dignitas should be too experienced to give them such an easy advantage. Like Regi, Scarra is also rediscovering the form that made him one of the best AP mid in NA. Paradoxical would need to play the game of his life to stop Scarra, as do Zig and Pixel3 against Imaqtpie and Locust. However, TD may have a ray of hope in Nintendudex' hyper aggressive jungling which may shake IWillDominate who, albeit solid overall, seems to always have a lapse in judgement in tense matches.

Players to look out for: Scarra, Crumbz, Paradoxical, Nintendudex
2-0 Dignitas

4. Salce has to match up against the aggressive xPeke, who has been hyped (by Ocelote) to be a better AP mid than Froggen. Fnatic's newly acquired soAZ has to contend with WingsofDeathx and a lot will depend on the hero picks. Nhatphromoo against Lalox in bot lane should be interesting as well. TSM.evo strong point seems to be their teamfighting but anything can happen before the battle begins (Cyanide baron steal anyone?)

Players to look out for: xPeke, Salce, Unstoppable, Aphromoo
2-0 TSM.evo

i wished they chuck clg.eu in the same bracket with clg
so they could have the best tsm team vs the best clg team (obviously eu).
Damn the brackets for the unseeded team was painful to some.
At least after this MLG , the next MLG the proper seeding would prevail.

they weren't joke picks, they were just picking their best champions (at least heimer and viktor were).

then again, theyre jokers irl (they went to my middle and high school)

I got no idea whos gona win clg vs curse. I want hotshotgg to shock the world but saint just isn't someone to bet against in the jungle.

TSM.evo is gona go far this event but whoever wins CLG.eu vs TSM I think will take the whole show.
