I think MVP Ozone is probably stronger than Frost/Blaze/KTB. Otherwise, yeah. I think the only way someone is gonna knock out SKT is if they come with some kind of crazy strategy to throw them off their game or if SKT chokes hard.

I think whomever wins needs two solid strats to work on. Teams can adjust too fast in Bo5s to have one trick ponies work(I'm looking at you, Bullets/Blaze)

Well KTB came pretty close to doing so. SKT T1 just needs to be solid in their picks/bans.
|
I think if frost plays GBM mid they have a good shot there last to matches they have looked really strong besides that baron throw

Hnnngh who to root for
Guess I'll just toast to good games this week!

I hope CJ Blaze beats KT B though. Frost vs Blaze is a TRADITION

series relies on two things: Ambition and strategies/champion selection.
If Ambition is back to being an all star, then teams can't just camp Flame all day and ignore Ambition like they did in the summer season. Beyond that, if they've improved on their strategies that failed in NLB Summer against Sword, they could be finally breaking out of their 'one trick warhorse' stereotype. The Bullets have been showing their hands left and right the past week, first playing SKT and then Frost in eight games less than a week apart. Blaze have been pretty much practicing in secret for the past month. In terms of strategy, if their coaches do their job, they should be able to breakdown the Bullets like Ozone did to them in the Spring Finals.

I'm excited to see how Blaze changed since the end of NLB where they tried to change and utterly failed (Flame on Zac, etc.).
And I really hate KT B. Go Blaze. And make sure you lose to Frost.

Really interested in how this plays out, too - I'm not exactly sure how seriously Bullets were taking the placement match (if they're confident enough, having an extra set of high-quality high-pressure games to play could be of use to them?), and I'd be absolutely delighted if Blaze have found a way to maintain their strengths while expanding their tactical repertoire.

hope blaze wins then gets reversed swept by frost :O

Any information on the lineups today?
Oh they corrected MonteCristo's name!

I predict Flame Jax.
Please.

Here's hoping for Blaze to go down 2-0 thanks to playing their old stuff, then coming back with some new strategies, and another ZvZ for the Blind Pick decider
No Cpt. Jack. Hermes/Lustboy today

Welp, bye Jack.
Hopefully Hermes leveled up during his month break.
