NJWS is a fraud and they'll be revealed for what they are

Zefa and Watch were on steroids and they are now back to being the random average shitters they've always been

Save will not be enough, and every single ggoong's champ has fallen out of meta (nidalee, LB, TF, Gragas, Kass), it doesn't take 4 games on Ahri/Zed to suddenly give him a good enough champion pool

Well Froggen does have a tendency to put more emphasis on powerfarming during lane phase than on getting kills/denying, though I suppose having Shook as a jungler has changed that a bit. I don't think Shook stacks up very well against Meteos however so it will be interesting to see how the matchup plays out - the 2v2 is probably pretty even while Froggen > Hai and Meteos > Shook (unless Shook goes full bedshitter mode, in which case [A] are fucked).

But he is 400 lp Challenger in KR feeding every game. ; )

At least he can get into Challenger.

To the actual matchup, I think C9 and Alliance are close, but I think Alliance has a slight edge.

SSB and OMG for C and for D I think ALL then NJWS. I agree that Shield's bot lane isn't very good but I don't think Sneaky and Lemon are particularly good at crushing lane against weaker opponents. Save is going to body Balls so hard. I just can't see NJWS losing to C9 twice, and if Alliance shows up in top form they should take the group imo.

The only way NJWS is dropping a game is if ggoong wants to play yasuo.

Predictions for first round of games?
OMG, NJWS, SSB, ALL, LMQ, C9. The Alliance C9 game is probably going to be the closest one. I'm interested to see how both teams have developed since their bootcamp. LMQ OMG may be close as well.

Group C: Heart says LMQ/OMG, brain doesn't know what to think. Group D -- I hope Shield continues their form from regionals simply because I like seeing interesting comps (looking forward to the show they'll put on later today~) + Watch <3 but otherwise I don't care particularly for any of the teams in D.

Day 1 Predictions:
LMQ < OMG
C9 < ALL
FNC > LMQ
Kabum to suffer the same fate as DP and be eliminated 0-4.

Wow @_@ that's bold because ... I don't even know if LMQ has a coach atm lol. Their management is a REAL clusterfuck from what I hear.

I cheer against Fnatic because they've fucked me over in every (the only two) fantasy leagues I've played

Which honestly means that they'll probably do pretty well since past results and season standings are about as good of a metric as we have for predicting future success that doesn't delve into unverifiable "expert" opinion (the other metric being a scoring based on number of koreans and chinese player h4h4h4)

Hopefully they've mastered the Royal art of shrugging off drama to continue performing well.

The "fair" was about using the exact TI format, because of the imbalance of Red and Blue sides. The "feasible" was about his first suggestion to do a double round-robin (240 games).

Dire is considered imbalanced in Dota2 and yet no one complained about the imbalance at TI4.
