TSM has a very easy group given that it was pool 2 (poor AHQ) but it is more difficult than it appears because of WE. | ||

A: EDG, SKT, Misfits B: Longzhu, Immotrals, Marines C: G2, Samsung, Flash Wolves D: TSM, AHQ, RNG Once again, at least on paper this year, loosing the pool 1 spot doesn't turn out to be a problem. | ||

Longzhu should have an easy time. G2 could be out after groups. Seems fun. | ||

1. LZ 2. IMT 3. TSM Top three unluckiest teams I'd say are: 1. G2 2. ahq 3. RNG, maybe MSF because of WE | ||

I will say that I'm not liking the gold and not keeping the teal though. | ||

The flag thing seems fairly normal in traditional sports. Football is the first sport that comes to mind where many orgas are international and comprised of players of various nationality. I can't say for certain but I imagine if there was a flag on football uniforms, they'd be the home flag of the orga, not the players themselves. | ||

The flag is definitely a minor nitpick, although I'm pretty sure TSM does the correct flags per player (as mentioned above) and they operate out of the same company so it clearly could be done, but I would say making a "Championship" jersey, making it gold, and premiering it with a video of how "everything you touch turns to gold" is just in weirdly poor taste for an org that didn't win their own region. Also 100% unrelated but for those unaware, SKT chose to take Huni and the junglers to round out the roster. | ||

Also 100% unrelated but for those unaware, SKT chose to take Huni and the junglers to round out the roster. Yeah, really interesting decision. Maybe Kkoma figured the jungle rotation is more powerful (I think it is as well, Huni/Untara don't change the team behaviour much, it's more their solo play that differs), and Huni has the experience on the world stage so there's a lower risk of nerves. Except it's Huni and he tilts, so... | ||

Even though technically the playoffs placed the CN teams the other way round, EDG is probably still the weakest team of the three if everyone plays their best. I would place EDG over TSM and G2 though, I think it's going to be a KR/CN dominated worlds this year. Idk. China is likely better than NA/EU, but sometimes they just do stupid shit. I also think the gap between China, Taiwan, EU and NA is a lot closer than most people realize. The funny thing is that I think the rankings overall are good, but I'd put LZ ahead of SKT. The fact that SKT chose Huni over Untara is going to bite them hard imo. It's not surprising considering how they've ranked the two throughout the season; but it's surprising that they have such a drastically different opinion still on the two. | ||

I feel G2 or TSM should win against EDG and at least go even against RNG. The espn ranking is probably how I would rate the teams, for the teams I have seen. I still have to watch some WE to round it out. The only thing I was surprised about was 14th for C9. In my mind they could've been near 11th as well.

Huni might lose them games, though..I expected Peanut/Blank to be SKT's duo role. There's a lot to be gained for kkoma/SKT to have Blank watch the first 1-2 matches backstage then come in during a later set with a customized strat specific to the opposing jungler/team. Huni over Untara surprised me though. dat tilt... | ||
