He would be very strong regardles, though. He'll need some nerfs to keep him in line (gotta hope they won't hit the ult's 20%, that'd nerf him in general and especially against assassins instead of his own durability), but meanwhile I can't help but shed a tear at Tree getting some glory back. ;_;7 PBE currently has a 12 second limit on his ult | ||

I'd like a mechanic that rewards you for being good at deactivating it early and being able to get a second one off in longer fights, but I'm not sure how it could be implemented. | ||

Anyway, guess I'm kinda late but here are my PREDICSHUNS CS: + Show Spoiler + Didn't watch much, but from what I did it'll be 1) H2K, 2) SKP, 3) NiP. If LCS gets expanded, then H2K and SKP get in, if not then maaaaybe Gambit chokes against H2K/SKP, but I think we get another split with same teams. I actually gave 3rd spot to NiP OR G2 when I started writing this, but thankfully I waited for the series to end, so one embarrassment less  LCS: + Show Spoiler + SHC vs ROCCAT: I think that if both teams play at their peak, then ROCCAT wins. And while Overpow and Vander can play slightly under the expectations, Jankos has to play top-notch throughout the series. SHC is not a very good team, they can be solid, but if ROC figures out a good strategy against them and plays correctly, then I just don't see them adapting. On the other hand, if Jankos doesn't play well, then ROC gets individually outplayed and it's a quick 3-0 for SHC. SK vs Millenium: I have no idea. On one hand, I still think that SK is criminally underrated. On the other, it's true that they just had a bad season and they are not exactly longer-set monsters. I actually think that their peak is higher than Mil's peak, so perhaps preparing for one team rather than 2 or 4 will be enough to provide better results. But if they play like they did in the regular season, then Creaton and Kerp should be enough to handle them. 5th: Loser of SK vs Mil. See the 3rd description. Semis: I don't see an universe where Fnatic and ALL don't beat whatever team comes from quarters. 3rd: Winner of SK vs Millenium. Not much to say, I just think that both these teams are overall better than ROC an SHC. Not saying it will be a stomp, but I'd call them more-than-slight favors. Final: ALL and FNC seem to be closer in their peaks than I'd like to admit. I think it will be an even series won by whoever figures out a better strat, or is simply in better shape. NA will be more interesting to predict. BTW Wonderful, even if you are going to make the polls with less-readable results, you could at least link them in the OP, not make me go through entire topic to see what was worth watching from NA super week :p | ||

I guess this is where my need to update the op asap can backfire. I also think that the people who are interested in it will watch it/get their results from different places. I think more people will be most interested for the Finals, but hard to tell the interest in it since I didn't really put Challenger matches in the posts before. I might have to start doing it for next split though since we do have people who enjoy the challenger series discussions. | ||

EG-LMQ was probably best game of the week though. I suck at posting them, need to upgrade myself before playoffs. UoL won? ROFL. GG JWAOW, FROM SUPER TEAM INTO CHALLENGER ELO HELL. On the other hand, NiP are safe now, PoE won't have free time against Alex and Cabochard can play Maokai by himself. | ||

He probably wouldn't have done that well anyway. Watching his play it almost feels like he just completely peaked with top kha'zix on TCM in S3, all downhill since solo beating lemondogs in pyjamas with it. And besides, do you even remember that TCM roster. Now that's challenger elo hell | ||

Jwaow was always famous for his 1v1, like that kind of EU ZionSpartan/CaliTrolz, who blows on basically every team-oriented toplaner but excels with those Riven, Jax, Jayce and crew. Picking it instead of Wickd, who might have not the biggest champion pool but at least deliver almost everytime, welp. Rofl, that TCM roster. How sick is to think that Brokenshard achieved the most from them? | ||

G2 is 5th best EU challenger team, clearly worth that sponsorship. | ||
