That said, TPA about 5 places higher than TSM, and I LOVE TSM. | ||

That said, TPA about 5 places higher than TSM, and I LOVE TSM. Not much of a bold prediction, but group C is pretty even. TSM will struggle to get top 2, if they can even manage to do that. The weak team there is Meat, and they just beat TSM in their weekly tournament. Not the best odds they can repeat that offline, but they have a chance. TPA is an easy favorite for finishing top3, they will finish way ahead of TSM. TSM will have the moments that impress, but filled with many foreigner moments. Depending on their luck with be brackets after group, I'd say TSM finishes 9th place. I know TSM got a relatively easy group for being the last IPL winners, but man CLG.na struck gold with their qualifying spot. So easy. | ||

I'd say Group B and Group C are far more unpredictable. I know I hype WE up before every tournament, but they are definitely the strongest they have ever been at the moment. ClearLove is a very good jungler in the aggressive style a la Chauster and Diamondprox and is the strongest jungle Lee Sin and Nocturne that I've seen. Caomei is actually good now and wins lane 60-70% of the time. Misaya is switching back to roaming aggressive mids that dictate midgame tempo but is a little prone to ganks. The Weixiao/fzzf bot lane utterly dominates 2v2 but Weixiao is increasingly prone to over-aggressive all-in moments as he gets better and better. Weixiao is probably the most versatile player on the team and I've seen him play every AD carry in tournaments except Draven, Tristana and Miss Fortune (which he can probably do anyway) at top 3 in the world level in the last month alone. If WE loses, it'll be due to inferiority of game plan rather than lack of skill. They have no weak positions at the moment and have no excuses to not place top 3 or even win the tournament. I think the top 3 will be WE, TPA and Blaze in any order. However, WE and TPA are prone to under-performing at international tournaments so it's hard to say for sure. I agree with this 100%. On paper, WE has a sick line-up. Every player is crazy good in terms of individual skill and they're certainly a force to be reckoned with. | ||

Both Takashi and Zuna are subs, TD and FeaR don't have an official 5th yet. | ||

While the Chinese teams didn't take the TGA showmatches seriously (and WE more or less picked out of what they're best executing with Misaya Ori and Caomei Irelia), the showmatch against M5 at least showed they will have to work pretty damn hard if they want to beat the best teams. | ||

TSM maybe the better of the NA teams, but they struggle against the teams of the world so I expect them to fall to one of them. Then Regi will retire, but won't retire. I expect CLG Prime to do well, then fail miserably when they get out of group stages.. then someone else will get benched. I'm curious how Rhux will work out on support for Curse now. Elementz support play had been lacking at times so maybe the shack up will do them well. They are one of those teams that either surprises people or plays exceptionally bad. | ||

A GOD, is like if in the World Cup somehow puts Spain, Germany, and England in the same group. 3 Teams that almost certainly would escape any other group in one group. I see nothing like that here. I'm sure seedings were used for a few of the teams and that's why we really don't see a stacked group. With keeping the qualified regions away from each other. The rest were likely hand placed to prevent groups of death to keep interest for every group. | ||

They have lost one qualifier in the finals to Crs.EU and lost the qualifier finals to Alternate (Eloblade back then) too. Plus Fnatic has been in the upswing the last few weeks, it would make group A a lot more exciting. Fnatic looked to be in much better form at Dreamhack. I think they would almost certainly be a better contender than Alternate in group A. | ||
