I want SSG to place higher than RNG for 1 week and IMT to place over Fnatic for another week. Put your money where your mouth is. Why would I accept a ban bet for a prediction I've openly said is 'wild but justifiable'? Am I missing something? Why would I bet you anything when I specifically said its a wild prediction? | ||

The Marine's MSI performance and YG gives me enough confidence in GAM to say they could definitely get 3rd over IMT. Hell they just might be able to get out, but that's a pretty out there chance. SSG not advancing is 'as simple as' RNG showing up and 2-0ing them, and G2 splitting games with them, where G2 gets lucky and wins the tie breaker. Is that going to happen? Most likely not. Is G2 good enough to beat SSG in a best of 5? Probably not. Could they beat them in 2 separate games and advance because RNG put in the real work? I see it as possible this quote is not part of the wild but justifiable thread of comments, did I misunderstand what you meant here? | ||

Considering the SSG not advancing comment was directly related to me saying in a post or two above that that was my wild prediction yea you probably missed something. Also I was giving my opinion on which of IMT (LCS) or GAM should be trusted more. And my answer was GAM. I even use 'could' and 'out there chance' when talking about GAM getting 2nd or 3rd in that group. I don't trust IMT at all after their bo5 versus TSM. The safe bet is IMT to beat GAM and get 3rd, but its certainly within the realm of possibility that IMT gets last. I should clarify, I personally disagree with the 'safe' bet that IMT is second place, but acknowledge that it is in fact the safe bet | ||

Is anyone willing to bet against me on EDG's performance? I'd say they don't get out of groups. imgur.com I'm taking you on that bet. If EDG doesn't make it out, I want to be banned for a week because I believed in them. Reasoning for each group: SKT and EDG are going to win all their games except SKT beats EDG, but Ahq will somehow win a game against EDG just like last time they met in groups. That will edge them over C9 because they go 1-1. iBoy and Scout are going to slaughter some poor kids in cold blood at least once each. LZ being first is obvious. Fnatic is going to play poorly against GAM but eek out wins, then they will magically become good in one game against IMT. IMT, who have a chance to return the favour in their second game, loses a game to GAM by surprise, and end up falling out of contention. RNG will win at least one game against SSG. There will be a tiebreaker, and Uzi will remember that he didn't win the championship this split, and proceeds to destroy the SSG bot lane. Chinese fans will be so loud Phreak will go deaf and be forced to retire. This group is going to be really low quality, sad games. WE will look poorly but somehow win every game, might lose a game to TSM. TSM will have at least one clown fiesta, but that's OK because FW are going to join in, except they forget to win any games. MSF will trouble everyone and look really good, but somehow finish last. People will pat them on the back and say 'better luck next year'. | ||

I went with my heart over my mind there personally. | ||
