Interesting playoff possibilities for this coming week (Games on the 24th/26th/27th)

If MVP Blue can get a SINGLE game off SKT, they secure the spot for the playoffs. Otherwise, the NJWS / IM match leaves a playoff spot up for grabs if either team 2-0's, or creates a 3-way tie in a 1-1 situation.

JinAir Falcons only need to win a single game against Xenics Blast (I'd favor them here) to get into the playoffs. Blast secures the playoff spot instead if they go 2-0.

CTU v CJ Blaze will be interesting because its the new kids vs old guard, but both teams have already secured playoff spots.
MIG Blitz needs to 2-0 Frost for a slot, a 1-1 will give the slot to Frost.

Do any of the underdogs even have a decent chance? Jin Air vs Blast, maybe?

I think theres a nonzero (but certainly not a GOOD chance) of Blue taking a SINGLE game off SKT, and qualifying.

I'm also gonna watch Blitz v Frost with hopefulness, Woong's coaching and revealing of Sekrit Frost Strats might give them a much-needed edge.

I think Blue will steal one from SKT. SKT is confirmed #1 in their group, so they're prone -- like last season -- to totally take the last series of a group leg off and fuck off. Hopefully, unlike last time, they let Faker play an oddball champion or at least one that can roam. It's nice to see they can play comps where Piglet is the #1 option, but it'd be nice to see Faker have another monster game.

LG-IM #1 vs. KT Bullets might be the most lopsided Champions match in a long, long time. MidKing and Smeb's KDA for the season is going to end up around 0.05 if Ryu and Insec are playing seriously. With the Bullets all but confirmed for the playoffs, I can see them getting ssumday some playing time in the top lane.

I'm going to be really, really fucking sad if they stick faker onto orianna or karthus or even ryze. I want to see the ahri, diana, zed, kassadin etc. that really showcases faker's strengths(not that he's bad at teamfight champs, it's just that playmaking ones suit him much, much better).

Wait so, what happened to SKT? Why is there only 1 team now? Is it #2 or #1?

#1 and SKT did not come to an agreement for a contract before season. Beezlehan stayed on as a sub for the former #2.

SuNo left Reapered's team and joined MVP Ozone as a sub.

Reapered, Starlast and Raven got picked up by Jin Air. They picked up Miso, a practice partner of Shy/Flame from CJ Entus, and Roar, their new mid laner.

Let's see if Faker's Ahri is Bjerson tier.

Actually; what's the benefit for SKT for winning? they're already got enough points to go to playoffs right?
