Annie has an around 8s cd on her stun (if she uses all spells she has 3 charges at the end of the rotation, then 4s for Q, then either another 4 or the end of W's 8s cd to have the next stun ready). I'd argue that a bunch of champions have close cooldowns on their combos/cc, but they actually require levels and/or CDR to do so (Fiddle, Leona, etc.) while Annie having all flat cooldowns means she has access to that "8s cd stun" as soon as level 6, which isn't too far behind Ahri hitting 6 herself. And since supports don't get to buy CDR at the competitive level, she remains amongst the top if you need a short cd point'n'click hard cc. Makes sense. Also worth noting is that both of these stuns can be aoe, and Tibbers has a potential range of 890. | ||

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. | ||

I feel like Sword has a 30% chance of winning game 1. If they don't manage that then it will be an easy 3-0 for SKT. | ||

Pff Fanatic will take it 3-2, they are on the same lvl as the other worldclass teams there .. | ||

Pretty sure nidalee was quite central to the poke comp they ran for that game. Keen for more pray + cain, holy smokes they are good. PraY underrated with all this piglet imp hype | ||

Sword is the type of team that has huge potential and are unbeatable on their good days, but since they are so wildly inconsistent, I favor SKT in a Bo5. I am extremely curious about the bot lane matchup since Pray/Cain owned Genja/Voidle so badly ... but Piglet/ManDu are in a whole different class compared to the Russians., If NaJin wins game 1, they have a really good chance to win the series 3-0 since they are so streaky. FNC > Royal 3-2 Fnatic is the one team that I imagine Royal having a lot of difficulty with. If Fnatic brings any teleport spells, they can capitalize on the risky plays that Royal can take from time to time. This series is hard to call imo. Royal will have to respect the teleports which will force them to play a bit more passively compared to normal. Many teams have mentioned that playing Fnatic is a unique experience and can be hard to deal with. On the other hand, the same can be said for Royal, which is why I think this will be 3-2. So hard to call, mind says Fnatic, heart says Royal. | ||

Yango's already explained they don't need to try to get uzi ahead, he can catch up better than anyone even when Fnatic tries to focus on him. so they likely will just shut down peke. | ||

it's also going to be a test of whether or not they can deal with fnatic's midgame splitpushing which they do to try and catch up and stall pushes. The chinese aren't typically known to finish their games quickly compared to koreans, and if they 5 man for too long without getting much done it might be bad. I know that they got really good 5 man fights against OMG but you need to realize fnatic and EU in general are a lot more passive and turtle quite a bit more. I'm hoping they keep kassadin banned unless they have a reaaally good answer, but xpeke has shown over and over that an early game lead doesn't mean much eventually. | ||
