1) Winter season Top: Maknoon/Ragan (500 points) Jungle: inSec (600 points) Middle: Ssong (600 points) AD Carry: Score/Paragon (300 points) Support: Mafa (400 points) 2) Spring season Top: Flame (700 points) Jungle: Bengi (250 points) Middle: Faker (450 points) AD Carry: Imp (500 points) Support: Mata (250 points) Ragan has descended to a mediocre player struggling to make anything of himself at Xenic Storm, Ssong has gone back to his funky inconsistant self, while the much lauded bottom duo of Score and Mafa has been outclassed in every single way imaginable by the deadly couple of Imp and Mata. I still have hope for inSec, because he is by far the most exciting jungler in the world, and has the potential to be the best, but has a bad habbit of forcing game changing moves without thinking about the consequences when things go awry. CJ Entus Blaze and CJ Entus Frost are both in the semi-finals for the fourth season in a row, when no team other than Najin Sword have managed to do it even twice in a row. That kind of consistancy is mind boggling, especially since I believed both teams to be stagnant in their playstyle, and thought newer teams such as MVP Blue and SK Telecom T1 #2 would punish them heavily for it. We will see a battle of old versus the new with one of MVP Ozone (I predicted the wrong MVP team to do well  ) and SK Telecom T1 #2 making their debut in the finals, whereas we'll see the old guard of CJ Entus franchise try to keep the order of things intact.Predictions for the semi-finals. 1) SK Telecom T1 #2 versus MVP Ozone: I really think SK Telecom T1 #2 has the potential to be one of the best teams in the world, while I think MVP Ozone is still very limited by their playstyle despite their obvious strength. Both teams are not the greatest in terms of late game management, or decision making, but make up for it with bags of laning strength, with SK Telecom T1 #2's strength spread more evenly throughout the three lanes, and with MVP Ozone's strength being concentrated on the bottom two lanes. If SK Telecom T1 #2 plays it smart, and exploit MVP Ozone's weaknesses, I think they will go through, but if they just try to simply outmuscle MVP Ozone, they will be defeated just like before. MVP Ozone crumbles easily under pressure, with Imp and Dade both have a tendency to throw games if things aren't working out well, so I expect some sound planning coming from the coaches of SK Telecom T1 franchise to devise a methodical approach to breaking MVP Ozone down. 2) CJ Entus Blaze versus CJ Entus Frost: If rumours are to be believed Flame crushes Shy during practice. Ambition has a wider champion pool than RapidStar, which can be abused during the picks and bans, Helios and CloudTemplar are both pretty mediocre, but CloudTemplar reads Helios very well during their encounters with one another. CJ Entus Frost definately has the edge when it comes to the bottom lane. It's a close call, but CJ Entus Blaze should make it to their second finals. Spring is their season after all. | ||

For people who know how it looks there. The terrace was full with people standing in line few minutes before 17:00. It was crazy. I arrived at ~15:00 and the terrace was already 50% full. | ||

It might be worth it but I have zero budget for video games right now. So if anyone knows of any torrents or uploads somewhere else I can watch it would be amazing. Fell asleep during game one last night. | ||

THe TVOngamenet youtube channel uploads highlights of the matches after a few days. You can at least watch those. | ||

These KR teams make it so easy to boil down my analysis into one sentence. | ||
