Once both parties have finalized terms, plz PM that post to me and I'll update it up top. I mostly skim, so it's likely I won't catch all the details unless it's specifically pointed out. Thanks.

You sir have a deal. I think that's really close as I kinda think 16 is the exact number that's likely to happen. | ||

Realistic scenario, C9 wins 0.5 games, IMT wins 2.5 games and TSM wins 3.75 games. So O/U is between 7 and 10. 1 month ban bet... NA wins less than 7.5 games in groups. Any takers? (Playoff / tie breakers excluded) Sign me up, I'll take NA wins 8 or more games total in groups. So these ban bets do stack, right? If geript lose both his bets, he gets banned for 2 months? | ||

That seems very high given their groups. I think TSM wins 4 at most (they'll have at least 2 bad games imo) and they're in a group where they're barely ahead of all the other teams (at best). Immortals almost assuredly can only win 4/6 at most. In theory, you can get two NA teams going 4-2, but that's unlikely imo. I think it's either 7 or 8 for NA at most and it's pretty close; but I could absolutely see TSM tanking and going 3-3 and then C9 + IMT failing to win 5 games between the two. | ||

C9 can get 2 against AHQ pretty easily, unless you think AHQ are somewhat a sleeper OP team or something (I think they are the 2nd worst team in the group stage, above FB). It's the 1st world appearance for IMT and their botlane so it could be shaky for them and they could definitely drop games to FNC or GAM but I think they can get 2-3 wins, minimum. I expect 5 wins for TSM, might be too ambitious but we'll see. Overall, think it is going to be more than 8, which is why I took the ban bet for >7 wins. | ||

I'm not sure C9 can beat AHQ twice; they're far worse than expected I expect them to 1-1 at best. I haven't watched any AHQ so I could be really wrong there, but historically I'd expect it to be relatively equal at best for c9. 5 wins for TSM I think is overly ambitious; I think 4 is about the best you can expect, but with the group if they don't understand or can't play the meta then 2-4 is quite possible too. Most of the teams are roughly equal in that group imo. There's no reason for them to go less than 5-1, but it's TSM so I expect high variance. Wait, are teams only playing 3 games in the groups? Only best of 1s? I'm not seeing 6 games for each team on the schedule. | ||

The schedule on LoL esports only accounts for the 1st week of group stage for some reason. There will be definitely be a 2nd week of group stage on Oct 12-15, as seen here: + Show Spoiler + ![]() | ||
