WCG Korea starts a few days after the World Finals. LoL Proleague is supposedly going to get announced and start sometime in November. OGN Winter will also probably start late November/December. Also LPL playoffs for summer season will need to be finished.

Alaric is really going for shikyo's position. Shikyo needs to make a strong statement going into the finals.

3-1 SKT T1
3-1 Royal

Don't expect either series to be very close but too much respect for Fnatic and Sword to think they can't win a game.


That's how I'm feeling abou thtem as well. 3-1 SKT and 3-1 Royal, at this point there won't be any shutouts but neither Fnatic nor Sword are good enough to keep with this quality of team in a full Bo5 series.


God damn SKT T1 screwing my predictions.

Of course Royal is going to 3-1, they're better in every lane.

SKT T1 will have trouble, I think Royal will win 3-2 for the finals, but it really hinges on the Whit3zz/Faker matchup.

Well I'll say this. There was only one game where xpeke didn't flat out lose lane. Royal picked Gragas only one game despite zero gragas ban. So yeah ...

Wh1t3zz actually did really really well in lane. Wh1t3zz was actually up on CS for the first 5 minutes or so (xPeke got engaged on level 2 while he was still level 1--which is a trade that Ori should never open herself up to), but that lane is pretty Ori favored overall.

Watching game 4, at first I was wondering how Royal could win it considering how hard they were getting dumpstered in teamfights, getting aced for 3 kills 3 times in a row.
Then they win a single fight with Elise+Uzi up and they get 2 towers and an inhib and don't even lose nashor for it.

Welp, got my answer.

Edit: and right after that Fnatic gets indecisive at the risk of losing both bot inhib and the nashor. It's weird, seeing how suffer from what they usually inflict (and then abuse) to the other teams.

This game 4. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
It was... well, let's just say it was different from the first 2. o_o

Lucky's deficiencies were so clearly exposed this series that I'd easily give SKT T1 over Royal in the finals, though. There's no way a jungler of Bengi's caliber doesn't destroy him (and then his lanes) when even Cyanide who's been known for not being exactly top-level has managed to outdo him in ganks and overall pressure consistently.

I don't know what you expected. I've done this in all other threads. Actually, I don't even have unspoilered results posted in the other threads. I specifically made the results spoilered in this thread mostly out of consideration. The recommended games poll does not really show you who won though, so I don't think it's much of a spoiler. Also, I'm just not the type to make a fake poll. I don't see the point in it. I figure that if people didn't want to spoil the results, they wouldn't look at recommended games anyways, since they'd probably marathon through the VoDs when they had time.

Alaric, can you tell me if you saw Fnatic being stronger individually?

I need some wise sagacious post game analysis.

With all games but the finals now completed, what thoughts do you guys have on the 'team of the tournament'? Having watched most of the games I'd say

Top: Expession (Honourable mentions Soaz and Impact)
Mid: Faker (Honourable mentions Cool and xPeke [If we forget the last series])
Jungle: Bengi (Honourable mention to Lovelin)
ADC: Uzi (Honourable mention to Piglet)
Support: Yellowstar (Honourable mention to Tabe)

I'm only really unsure about Top lane, because I missed most of Najin Sword v SKT1 and I have taken other people's word that Expession outplayed Impact.

The whole point of recommended games is to decide if you want to watch the VODs, and the lack of a 5th poll spoils the 4th game. Every TL LR thread uses the fake poll system.

You could also just put each game in it's own spoiler, either works.

Dunno if you watched EU LCS, but Cyanide always appeared as one of Fnatic's weakest members (well, maybe not "weak", but his contribution/impact was often lower than all 3 lanes) and he didn't really look like a top-level jungler during the split.
Not to say that he didn't play well this series (especially compared to xPeke's performance), but his "regular" performance is lower than that, while Bengi's expected to be way scarier.

(I know you're sarcastic, it just gets old to have my words twisted at every turn—even when I'm not being over-the-top, that is.)

How does the Proleague work? Is it that Kespa-endorsed thing where teams need to have both SC2 and LoL squads to compete? I assume it'd be completely separated from The Champions and teams could participate in either one or even both?
