Two things as public notice:
1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] +
Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis!
No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum.


2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future.

I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat.
Enjoy the games~

Monday's time is good tho, oh well, you lose some you win some.

Skt > GB
C9 > Fnatics
OMG > Royal
NJBS> GG

Hopefully

Fnatic vs C9 should be a very good match up and I cant wait to see how hot Sword is after being off the radar for so long

Pretty much this. No one can beat the bears, because bears.

If they don't play hat Volibear, then I will be extremely disappointed.

They play really slow. Prioritize Shen. Always play into the late game. Don't like to tussle early. Shen, Ryze, etc. late game scaling champions that they can finally overwhelm an opponent.

The anti-SKT.

Sounds like old CLG.eu, and we know how well that worked out.

Times are not great for me either, but I had last week off so I got to see all of the group stage games which was nice. I've been following Sword since the start of OGN Winter last year but I'm really nervous about their game; Gambit did look a bit shaky in groups but they are Gambit, and I have no idea what to expect from Sword. They are a real Jekyll and Hyde team; can beat an SKT T1 one minute, and lose to a Mineski the next. I think they are actually pretty similar to Gambit in the sense that they tend to try and stay ahead of the meta, they aggressively trade for objectives, and they have a maddening tendency to lose games in champ select.

For the other games, I can't see SKT losing to Gama Bears, even though I know very little about Gama Bears. I suppose there's a chance they could be this year's TPA, but I doubt it - even last year there were rumblings that TPA were being massively under-estimated, but I've heard no such thing about Gama Bears this year. Royal vs OMG could honestly go either way and I don't know enough about either team to make a prediction, but both teams seem to be fairly even in strength. I kind of hope Royal progress only because I'd like to see more of them (thanks for your sucky tournament format Riot). As for C9 vs Fnatic, I really can't go past Fnatic - they looked awesome in groups - but I kind of hope C9 win, just because I think the fan reactions/discussions will be hilarious, and I want the NA/EU rivalry to be a little more intense.

From what I've seen, Bears are kinda like Lemondogs. Passive. Like to trade objectives. Play for the late game. I don't think SKT is going to let them do that. The only time SKT have been disrupted this entire tournament was from early ganks and aggression from OMG, TSM and Lemondogs. If they get into the mid-game at least not behind more than 2k~3k, then they're just going to control the rest of the game.

Royal would have been SKT's worst nightmare in a Bo3. Bears were probably the best.

Yeah, I don't think the Bears have much chance against SKT without dictating the tempo of the early game.

I don't see C9 beating Fnatic either. Fnatic have been playing scarily good - probably just a tad below OMG atm.

SKT 2:0 Bears
Fnatic 2:0 C9
OMG 2:1 Royal
Najin 2:0 Gambit

Najin 3:1 SKT
OMG 3:1 Fnatic

Still stuck on finals.

Just watched a few of their VoDs, NL looks like their only world class player, everyone else just seems fairly mediocre.

And even then NL got pretty outclassed when he played against Ozone's botlane. Vayne mirror but ended up getting snowballed on and fell behind like 80 cs at 20 minutes.

Fnatic > C9
Sword > Gambit
SKT > Bears
Royal > OMG

Finals gonna end up being between Sword or SKT and Royal imo but I can see Fnatic going all the way to finals. If OMG upsets Royal they could get to finals as well. I don't think Bears, C9, or Gambit has much of a chance to make it to finals. Gambit didn't have a great group stage, Bears won't pull another TPA imoimo, and C9's style just won't work on an international stage. Come at me.


Most interesting quarter finals match should be OMG vs Royal. If the group stage is any indication the OMG/Royal game might as well be the semis or even finals. Sword vs Gambit is also very interesting as it was Gambit that eliminated Sword last year.

C9 vs Fnatic will be really one sided. Fnatic's fine with playing early game aggression and C9 has shown they can't handle it they were just lucky in NA LCS since Vulcun is the only NA team that plays early game aggression. SKT should stomp Bears but if not Bears will get beat in semis npnp.

Who got the last laugh? Gama still in world's. hue hue hue.

To be fair, imp is still ridiculously good as an ADC. Hopefully NL picked up Corki.

Expecting SKT to beat GB but I think GB may bring out something random in game 1 and surprise SKT T1. SKT will figure it out and then stomp.

I think Fnatic should take C9, but their usual poor starts/random fails will probably make them drop 1 game. Apparently C9 says they're doing really good in scrims, but w/e we all know that never means anything.

I personally don't see any team, even SKT sweeping another team 2-0. I feel a lot of teams in the Quarters have proven that they're either good or they have solid enough records to not go down without a fight.

Almost beating WE or almost winning an OGN championship? Yeah, it's S3, but you made it sound like it was something bad during their time.

Can't wait for C9 vs Fnatic, though I'd rather had it as a semis, or god forbid, finals, haha. Imagine that! Still, the winner teams' region will have a good time in the future LRs, that's for sure:D (plot twist: C9 wins, proving USA is clearly superior, but then Gambit cashes in on ther promise, and takes it alll home! Maaaan... only if those Asian team weren't there; dang it!)
