Dignitas, again, possibly the best version of their team in a long time but I think they will have an even harder time meshing together than CLG+Seraph. Coast and Dignitas playstyles are rather different and I think Crumbz is going to be the crux of how Dig ends up faring this split. | ||

Cloud 9 has proven that they're head and shoulders above the rest of NA. This current iteration might possibly be the best CLG has had since Saint was on the team back in Season 2 but let's not get carried away. To me, there's a distinction between predicting that CLG can break top 2 and saying they're there already. Dignitas, again, possibly the best version of their team in a long time but I think they will have an even harder time meshing together than CLG+Seraph. Coast and Dignitas playstyles are rather different and I think Crumbz is going to be the crux of how Dig ends up faring this split. Judging from the posts I have seen most people actually see it like you and put C9 firmly ahead of CLG. Me included. | ||

I think I'm the only one who predicts CLG to be in the same skill level as C9 and my EU predictions were far off, so I wouldn't give myself too much attention :p With that said, I think that Nien was a bigger problem than most people assume and I'm excited to see this new roster play. I also think that C9 aren't some untouchable gods and their dominance was more about NA in general being bad rather than them being Korean level. I just don't think they can get much better than they are now, and CLG definitely can. I just believe, that's what bandwagon fans do  | ||

The same is true for TSM and maybe even Dignitas. Teams will struggle when they get new players, CLG in particular because their playstyle revolves so much about teamplay and smart map movements. Seraph needs time to improve his communication and if you listen to his interviews he still has trouble communicating with Dexter. I cheer for CLG as well but I'll temper my expectations for later in the season. They will lose against C9 at sunday but should win against Curse and EG. The match against LMQ will be interesting. And damn it, I have a race tonight so I'll miss the first game most likely. | ||

Well, current meta favours CLG a lot. It's not like CLG can't win in different meta but no Corki spam, mobile mages midlane and so on is veeeeery good for us. So if we're jumping from the gates instantly and not struggle with for example, 4-4 after 3 weeks, then we're going to be in great shape this season and i expect 20+ wins finally. Even though, with general skill level going up, i will be ok with just top-2 in regular season, just to avoid possible nerve-wrecking matches.

And yeah I know that Seraph has trouble with Dexter's accent and it's not hard to see why :p I just don't think it's something he won't get used to after 1-2 months, especially with english tutoring. Well, it's not like Seraph doesn't have an idea how CLG is playing, he is Korean in the end :D | ||

There's even been reddit threads about it. It's just a fundamental flaw in the way vision is designed in this game and until riot does a complete overhaul of the map/vision system nothing is going to change that. | ||

And Link said that TSM is clearly the better team in an interview with Travis, let alone C9 who dumpstered TSM so hard, Regi might as well have been the mid EDIT: I predict C9 with another 20+ win seasn. TSM to get really close to the 20 win mark, having dropped games to C(, CLG, LMQ, and 1 to Dig. CLG will still be in 3rd, but show flashes of brilliance to tease fanboys. LMQ will be a comfy 4th over Dig, a comfy 5th, over CRS a comfy 6th over the basement. | ||
