Huge week for Vulcan. 0-8 would be extremely difficult to recover from.
Interested to see if MRN show some improvement after having a solid week of scrims under their belt. They have about as manageable a week as they're likely to get at this point.
GGU playing with a full roster this week? Fat looked way out of his depth.
|
Predictions:
CLG > Vulcun
Curse > GGU
CLG > Dignitas
CoL > Vulcun
GGU > MRN
CLG > CoL
MRN > Vulcun
CoL >GGU
Predicting coL to do well and Vulcun to go 0-8. CoL really need to steady their throwing arm, they can do really well. Vulcun just doesn't have it imo. Zuna is ok-ish, but he still can't compete with the better NA bot laners (Chaox, qtpie, Dlift, Mashme). The rest is just really unimpressive. MRN is going to edge out a win against Vulcun, but that's about as far as I can see them get either.
CLG vs Dig and CoL vs GGU will be my games to look out for this week. Can both be stomp or really exciting.
|
CoL v Vulcun might be an interesting game, or it might be the game of throws. We shall see. I also want to watch the 2 Marn games, to see if they've improved as much as to see if they can take a win.
|
I hope Vulcun can get a win this week to take that 0 from their score. No TSM, only one Dig and one Curse game this week. Not gonna be the most high level play week but I hope they can make some entertainement and close games all around

I'm thinking the best "lower bracket" game will be GGU vs coL. They've shown the most potential (to me) overall, particularly against the "upper bracket" teams.
We need a word that means "Curse, TSM, CLG, and dig" and one that means "MRN, GGU, coL, and Vulcun."

Upper tier and lower tier?
Still waiting for GGU to take a game off of one of the upper tier teams - they have it in them, if they play at their top form (and now that they're not running their subs). I don't think Curse is the most likely to drop a game to them, but that week 1 game was REALLY close. I think TSM or Dig is going to be the first to drop a game to a lower tier team.

Yeah, I guess. I just want to still be able to differentiate them if and when skill stops being the major division between the two groups.

If Vulcun starts off 0-8, I...I don't even know.
6-0 Curse or Die!

If we're talking specifically about those subsets, "old guard" and "new blood" is what I use.
I'm cheering for CLG obviously but I'm intently interested in both coL games.

That isn't very accurate though. GGU is just a continuation of Team Dynamoc who have been around for a while and Vulcun used to be fear who used to be monomaniac ferrus so they've been around forever too. coL and MRN are definitely new blood though

Compared to CLG, dig and even Curse, the four other teams are relatively new. Not to mention they've had sizable roster changes. GGU dropped zig, Pixel and ParadoXical. That's over half their original Team Dynamic roster. Vulcun also had to replace aphro and Balls. If we're judging by how long teams have played together as five, it's not even remotely close.

The most exciting match this week is to see which one between vulcan and mrn will remain 0 wins. My money is on mrn.

CLG got rid of Voy and Locodoco also Curse just picked up Voyboy. The modern iteration of Curse starts with Saintvicious IMO though.
Idk I just don't get it, GGU has always been good, the fifth best in NA. Surprise, they're doing the fifth best in CS

CLG roster changes have been just as violent imo. Saint V w/ voyboy trade. Then the voyboy for locodoco trade. Then dropping locodoco, picking up aphro. Then benching jiji for Link.
Dig has been just as bad in terms of changes; though I don't remember all of them. It was the 3-way trade. then support switch, then losing iwilldominate.
Yeah, definitely though the pedigree is completely different between the new blood and old guard, but old guard still has its roster changes.

Is this an Avatar the Last Airbender reference that I am not picking up on? I am so confused! (And embarrassed if it is and I don't get it. I just finished watching that show last week!)
