I expect some good TSM early game, getting a slight lead followed by awful midgame decisions on both sides and in the end Imp will carry it home in a +40min game. Am I the only one, who finds it mildly funny, how Thorin and Monte were shitting and laughing at the lolesports top 20 rankings and now 3 days in their ranking couldnt be off more. Remember Thorin had GodV as the third best player of the whole tournament. That guy got now schooled around by Peke and Nagne, failing skillshots and flashes left and right and looks like one of the weakest midlaners in the tournament. The best player of any western team by far was supposed to be Huni according to Thorin. Huni now basicaly lost Fnatic their game alone, while Peke, Sneaky, DL, Inca and Febiven are all performing really really well. TSM should pick a scaling comp like OG did. You need the safely of such a composition and it then calls for LGD to make good calls. Thorin has a long history of having no real clue. GodV is just this year Namei who got hyped up no end then turns out is not very good. He also was hyping up Pray as one of the best adc's of all time until KOO got destroyed at IEM and in the LCK. As for the others, people seems to have had a viewpoint of here are two really good players, one if Korean and the other is from EU say. The Korean one will then be viewed as some cut above based some how. If you watch Sneaky's reaction to the group draw he rants about this a little bit. It all feeds into Thorins boom bust cycle though. Make a opinion, stick with it. If it turns out right, your brag about it. If its wrong you drop it, doesn't matter how often you mess up. People will watch his content because to then see the salty reaction. | ||

Huni now basicaly lost Fnatic their game alone, while Peke, Sneaky, DL, Inca and Febiven are all performing really really well. Wasn't it obvious that Huni was the weakest link of fnatic, because he was so prone to tilting? Like Huni can be super good but there is this little chance that he tilts hard, wants to go ham too much and bam, his team is in a bad spot. I don't know about Monte but I heard Thorin has no clue about the game, so no wonders his predictions are off, he is like "Oh Huni does a lot of kills, he must be the be$t". I don't know if TSM beating LGD would be funny, chinese teams getting shat on was cool because $$$ korean imports $$$ didn't beat the "friendship power" anime like, but I want to see and understand the hype about Imp and GodV, since I didn't catch a lot of their LPL games :o. | ||

TSM > LGD Assuming TSM wins draft with something scaling. KT > OG Kt bit too clean and polished for OG. Super hyped for top lane match up though. Also Soaz can have the counter pick so should give him the edge. Two best top laners in the world imo (plus marin). IG < AHQ C9 < FNC Fnc should pick/ban tris but more widely target sneaky. If huni doesn't get flustered like yesterday they should be fine. If c9 win despite this then they are legitimately very good. KOO > CLG didn't watch FW vs KOO. If KOO lose they are probably not making it out. PNG < FW Yesterday was stomping China, will today be stomping Korea? | ||

He made a video called "how fnatic lost the offseason" or something like that. Altough it's hard to blame him for not predicting that no names Huni, Reignover and Febiven will crush their competition in Europe. | ||

I think LGD and CLG will win today. | ||

Not really stomping but you get the idea. Quick comment on Febiven. He was like top 5/10 in challenger before be joined fnatic and wrecking people. If you listened to interviews with other mids they all said he was super strong. edit: reading that LGD tweet makes me more confident in my TSM prediction. | ||

On October 04 2015 20:50 Naphal wrote: Not to defend anyone, but in analyzing teams in a game like lol, you're bound to small sample sizes, because average performance seems to change rapidly in time, with the exception of only a few teams. This in combination with a relatively small amount of matches per amount of time will make both predictions and prediction errors pretty volatile. Also, I think going from a domestic to international setting increases volatility (how to deal with different styles?). And the current state of the game (small amount of games on this patch with a lot of power picks) increases that even further. So getting predictions wrong for this worlds is to be expected.didnt thorin also say how shit the new FNC was before they went on their winning spree? not to flame one guy but i think all "professional" analysis in LoL works with a pretty small sample size and more imagination and expectation than hard facts, plus some plain old favorism for good measure. That's no excuse for lack of facts, imagination and bias of course. But I think it's something to keep in mind when judging analysts on their predictions (at least at worlds). | ||
