I think 7 is less than 8.

 Funny how the top seeds in each region performed extremely well, while the other seeds shamed themselves. Very entertaining tournament so far | ||

Just before the tournament started everyone was like WE is a freewin, like Dark Passage at S4 level of free win. The lolesports power ranking thinks they are by far the worst team entering this tournament. I know it's not right and I'm not even a WE fan. | ||

Well, wasn't the assumption that they were going to use the last place roster? | ||

It's really a bit of stretch to assume they will suddenly become a better team with two new players. I mean, I like Xiye and he has a lot of potential, but that's like his first international game. | ||

It should be noted that while WE was ranked like 8th (yes, after the info about the new players at IEM was released), Gambit was ranked 7th pretty much consistently. They were both considered trash/major longshots going in. Actually, if you look at the lolesports rankings, with the caveat that 2nd-4th rank teams are fairly competitive against each other (and I would personally rank TSM over SK, marginally), Day 1 results aren't too surprising. http://na.lolesports.com/articles/power-rankings-iem-katowice-2015 | ||
