The thing is, iG is the team that has the highest likelihood of performing an upset because of their wide variance in playstyles and play ability. A team like WE or CLG.EU plays safe and conservative--but when you're the weaker team (which pretty much everyone is when facing M5) playing safe and conservative is just a slow path to losing the game.
It's a team that's wild and unpredictable that has chances to upset, and that's why iG has a better chance than most against M5, even though their overall ability might be weaker.

No but really, I just think they're overhyped, and despite being very good - better than all NA teams cept for TSM, they're going to go down to M5, but really they would have gone down to anyone. The main thing I disagree with is the fact that you're saying iG is not good enough to beat these teams. It's not going to be a walkover. They're not the favorites, but given the absolutely insane play iG is capable of executing when they really turn it on (of course accompanied by the possibility for insane throws) means they CAN win. They only need to take 2 games out of a Bo3. Against M5, CLG.EU, Frost, or Sword, I would call IG the underdog against all these teams. But against none of them would I say they're incapable of winning like you have. And them outplaying Frost so hard for the first 15 minutes of their first game, and then complete and utter throw (mostly on the merit of Leona) just kinda underlines the fact that they're big choke artists, much like the second rate teams that I compare them to.
Rooting for m5 but imma call you out on this one just like reddit called out that footsucking guybin case iG wins since i have nothing to lose

Quoting this in case iG wins tomorrow.
I think that M5 is gonna win. But people in the LoL community aren't giving iG enough respect. I mean, fucking reddit predicted Frost/CLGna to advance. Which was obvious fanboyism but lol.

iG is going to beat M5. How could people actually think M5 is gonna win?

See, this is the thing. iG is capable of big plays. They are also capable of big throws. But with the quality of their big plays, they only need to not throw twice to win.
As opposed to a team that plays safe and conservative and doesn't make those big plays and just slowly loses to M5 two times in a row because their fundamentals just aren't as good as M5's. Which would describe a LOT of these teams going against M5.

I wonder if Scarra has improved after regional... He didn't stream as much after regional. Scarra use to be really good in midlane, but his play in regional was questionable at best. He got schooled by Regi, straight up, which is pretty sad.

It was Jatt. Jatt is like the reason why RS/Dignitas dominated NA for a few months. Unless you're talking about that Lulu/Soraka thing, I dunno who came up with that. But the double assassin comp and some of the other weird comps they used to run were Jatt.
Back when he was on WHALE with Guardsman Bob they'd run some stupid all bruiser comp with like Warwick middle and a double bruiser kill lane bot. They actually beat TSM in a go4lol with it one time.
