Group A will be interesting. I don't give KT B enough credit recently, but they got somewhat lucky with the groups. KT B couldn't even beat bottom 8 teams in OGN and their roster is in turmoil, what chance do they have to actually win this tournament? Group A is definitely the weakest with a bunch of slumping teams, and even Millenium has a chance of pulling some upsets.

Group B WE and Gambit are heavy favorites but C9 has an outside chance. TPA has no chance.

Well officially, yes since they won GPL but imo AHQ are better but I guess in terms of results TPA are ahead of AHQ (If ahq would stop doing their thing of getting dunked by teams they shouldn't)

Nope. Second or third, it's a tossup between them and TPS. Ahq is pretty clearly above them now.

WE sucked because they lost a best of 12 to CLG.eu despite having 9 wins and only 3 losses and proceeded to lose their will to live.

Caomei is hardly the problem on the team, their jungler just doesn't do anything useful right now.

Conan's also pretty bad, he's just in a position where Weixiao can carry him. Ruo on the other hand cancers his solo laners out of the game.

If WE had a better jungler they could really abuse C9's weak laning, but as it is that matchup is actually a toss-up for me. Though they're overall a strong team, wouldn't be a surprise to see them finish 3rd in the group because of Ruo.

So much truth.

Conan loves to flash aggressively, miss 2-3 skillshots, blow his ulti, and then die. But then somehow, weixiao gets a double kill.

Still, weixiao is no longer the dominant ADC he once was. His recent play has been plagued by passive laning and positioning (most of the time), sometimes poor CS-ing, and often tunnels/is unaware of global map movement and objectives. Worst case, he's a super-Genja. Best case, he lacks the confidence and flair he once had.

Ruo, I just have nfi what he thinks he's doing half the time.

Caomei, for someone who was once the definition of mediocre, is now impressively consistent on a level somewhat above mediocre. He'll probably still outlane most western top laners though.

Suk1m is just playing really damn well atm, although he tilted a bit during WE's most recent losing streak. Incredible lane mechanics and solid, sometimes flashy play in general. He's a bit like a mini-Faker but he prefers long range APs over assassins.

I'm pretty sure WE will outlane every other team in this tournament though (hard to say against KTB). If they drop games, it'll be because of their traditional weakness in map/objective control.

WE not making it out of the groups would be pretty saddening. C9 making it out would make me super sad.

why? would be pretty awesome imo. I have a raging boner for the asian scene like everyone else here but isn't everyone sub conciously hoping for an "upset" whenever there's international competition?

No? I love watching the established power house teams beat weaker upstart teams into submission. I like it when Goliath crushes the would-be Davids.

ugh, I'm in the same ship as Cheep.

Is it because you cheered for "royal roads" too much and they kept breaking your heart, so you just said fuck it and cheered for evil SKT empire? ;;

No, I've always been an SKT fan, because BoxeR.
It's more like I hoped the new comers would fall short so SKT could continue to prevail, etc.

What the above two said. I don't hope for an upset.

And I don't have a raging boner for the asian scene. I just want the Chinese to do well. We always get scumbagged.

Twice now, China has gotten fucked by the World Championships. One by rigged random chance and the other when WE won 9 games, lost 2, and somehow lost a series. I can't think of a lot of other ways China gets owned, but I'm sure they exist....they run on late patches right?

Yeah, that too.
