Besides, I feel that both probably already showed their aces in the deciding games of both semi-finals. TSM's hyper speed comp and Dig's poke comp were both things no one had seen before. um... TSM has been using that maneuverability comp since the beginning of this tournament, and poke comp was common months ago although mainly w/ urgot + mundo. | ||

Uh I disagree. IIRC the prize difference for 1st and 2nd is pretty big, not to mention the prestige. Considering it is pretty unlikely that either TSM or Dig can actually win the world championship, winning the NA regional is even more crucial. | ||

Considering it is pretty unlikely that either TSM or Dig can actually win the world championship, winning the NA regional is even more crucial. It all depends on how much the NA teams study. I can completely see Dig doing serious HW again and pulling some stuff out. TSM is pretty strong when they want to be and Regi isn't Regitarding. They did beat team CLG.EU last time they played in a tourney and they very well could adapt to the Korean play as they saw it at MLG firsthand the strength (if they learn from getting raped). CLG has tons of experience vs CLG.EU and Asian teams so they can be a wild card. Curse seems the most vulnerable to getting out meta'd/mechanics/shot calling but im not really sure of their theory crafting potential (you have to give it to them though they ARE getting better). If the NA teams do some serious work (I think Dig is showing what that can do for you) they can perform well. They just don't most of the time compared to EU/Asian teams. | ||

TSM can pretty much never win against M5. They have difficulties against CLGEU too. Then a month (?) ago, TSM got slaughtered by Azubu Blaze. In their current shape, they have to avoid all the EU/KR teams until the final then pull a rabbit out of a hat to win the whole thing. Dig is slightly harder to tell due to their recent roster change, but I don't see them suddenly getting super good. Anyway, I am pretty sure the world champion will belong to either KR or EU. The other teams don't really come close. | ||

so many players that i think 'he will definitely play gragas this game' just simply aren't. makes me think he's an ace that many teams are going to use i think soniv mentioned that first and i agree completely. teams are just waiting for an early karthus pick by scarra or regi and gonna unload some real gragas on them | ||

Jayce will be important too. I doubt it. Diana has some serious problems, especially after her nerf. I don't really see her being played professionally. | ||

I highly doubt there are that many super broken OP's that have to be banned over gragas/sona/diana or whatever champ we're talking about. | ||
