If Fnatic can get OMG and LMQ in their swamp, actually, i can see them advancing. At least, i want TSM and Fnatic to advance just because they're facing Korean teams and fanboys will be hyped that their teams are for sure going to win at least against NJWS. That's exactly the point. I believe xpeke cannot handle cool, dade, and even xwx. The issue then turns to that Rekkles might be able to carry them, but you have Deft on Blue, and San on OMG, and even Vasili on LMQ. These guys are no walkover, and you can be sure they can keep up with him. So Fnatic's strongest laner is relatively good, but their mid laner is still a huge weakness. Even being optimistic, I cannot say that xpeke will solve his mid lane issues by the time worlds comes around. Yes | ||

Whereas Balls and Save are two players with strong presence when doing well, especially Save, this could be very bad for Alliance. Haven't watched much of EU lastely though, I could be wrong. Najin still looks very stable. Balls hasn't been playing like he was in the Spring split. I miss the good ol' Balls rumble days. maybe he will bring it back for worlds. | ||

Balls has been in a slump, but I think it's more attributed to the style C9 have adopted rather than him performing poorly. Hopefully the bootcamp helps them make some changes and helps Balls get back on top. Dude is a monster when he gets his fair share of farm. | ||

There was a screenshot today on reddit of two ranked 5s post-game lobbies were G2 won against DP and wished them gl at Worlds. So you might be even overrating them. | ||

I don't see that happening especially because I don't think sneakynation can beat tabzz/nyph. And that's the biggest issue. C9 have the advantage at top and jungle IMO, but ALL have Froggen, who is going to absolutely annihilate Hai mid. If Lemon can get a comfort champ like Morgana I think that Sneakynation might be able to at least go even against Tabzz/Nyph, but I doubt they'll win lane without serious misplays by Alliance. It's actually a super interesting matchup, the more I think about it. Gonna be a great 2 games between those two. | ||

I can see Hai tilting after first 5 minutes with those random ignites mid and with banned Zed. Tabzz and Nyph are way stronger botlane than any botlane in NA currently, so Sneaky might not transition that well and Wickd will just farm anyway, if nothing weird happens, with Meteos camping Balls and [A] getting dragons. Gosh, i won't be surprised if [A] even give him Zed to play, just to laugh. Still, we need schedules of groups actually, it means a lot. | ||

Yea, plus from what I've seen historically, C9 does well when Hai does well, and their struggles come when he struggles. That said, C9 does have collectively a very high LoL IQ, and they're probably aware of what you said, so it will be interesting to see if they prepare any specific playstyle changes or counters. | ||
