People call LNG a darkhorse, but if they lose against HLE (a team that was clearly 4th seed for LCK), I don't think they have it in them to go very far. That said, HLE is a good team with some flaws, so this looks more like a 50/50 to me.

Shame they didn't fix Trynd before worlds, seems a waste to have the most skilled players right click on outdated ass champions the one time a year they congregate

I love the LPL boys and I'm glad they get the chance to do this live. Hope they're not just for play ins

What a downer game, Morgan got a nice camp from his team but still ended 0/4/0. Between Sej jungle and Gragas mid, I think Sej jungle is the bigger troll pick if it's in the hands of Willer, champ did nothing in comparison to Qiyana. Deft got caught out and didn't play cleanly, that random death to Gragas Jax cost them the third dragon.

I could dimly justify the Tryn build, he needs to be tanky enough to not get bursted by LNG, but idk why HLE didn't register that their comp would be outscaled by Jax, he basically hard counters Irelia/Tryn/Ezreal all by himself because of his E.

Peace aren't doing themselves any favors in draft

Yeah, the Jax pick was gigabrain counter to the entirety of Hanwha and Sej being less tanky than Qiyana shows what a dogshit champ she is lol.

Galactic draft diff.

Galatasaray look to be the dark horse in Group B. Who knows, maybe a 3-way tie for first is on if DFM can squeeze a win vs Beyond and C9 throw a game or two.

My eyes are really on the Galatasary vs C9/DFM series tomorrow. Seems like UoL without Gadget is a non factor. Any one win probably puts Galatasary in the main stage, whether that's in first outright or in a series they should probably win against the group B 3rd/4th/5th

I wish Galatasary wasn't a verbal hurdle interrupting casting near constantly. It's like 1907 all over again.

They should just call them Gala like every Turkish soccer fan already does.

is Titan's name supposed to be pronounced like how Wolf is pronouncing it? It's kind of triggering to hear since I know titan is supposed to be pronounced one way

That was actually a really good first 20 minutes out of Red, if they can keep that kind of form up against Hanhwa they stand a chance

So if Beyond beat DFM that's a 3-way tie for 2nd in Group B. The real C9 hours would be to lose to UOL now.

Definitely looking forward to seeing DFM in the best of 5, should be favored against either Peace or RED. Even more excited for the probable Galatasary vs Hanwha series. Hanwha should still be the favorites and still win, but Galatasary definitely showed they have it in them to push. Maybe a 3-1
