2015 NA LCS Summer Split Thread!

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball][center][img width=600]http://i.imgur.com/EedOQYP.png[/img][/center] Seeing that there's an EU thread, but no NA thread, I took it upon me to create one. With my horrible skills at making graphics. Will TSM continue to dominate NA? Will C9 bounce back? What're your predictions for 2015 NA LCS Summer Split? The split will kick off with TSM vs C9![/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]I hope C9 bounces back, but with the recent exposure of TSM at MSI I think teams like Cloud 9 and TSM and going to look to exploit that weakness that they have. Ban out Dyrus because his champion pool is too small, which makes me wonder if he's been working to expand it. Otherwise, all the top teams are going to exploit, especially Cloud 9 who are in my opinion still the best team in NA.[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]Okay, I did this for EU, will make my predictions for NA as well: 1. TSM - Won last split, despite poor showing at MSI I #baylieve 2. CLG - Enough potential, after all the drama I think they can sort out their issues 3. TIP - Strong team, looked good already and without roster changes I expect a lot from them 4. TL - Already looked solid last split, will improve 5. C9 - Lost their main shot caller, will need a split to adapt 6. GV - Dunno about their jungler, could end up higher 7. T8 - Gained Nien but the rest wasn't too impressive 8. DIG - Had major struggles last split, barely stayed in and I don't see them improving a lot 9. NME - Haven't seen too much of them... 10. TDK - Haven't seen too much of them...[/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]Cloud 9 and TSM kick off the Summer Split on the 30th, so I guess we'll what happens.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]TDK is in the boat as TIP was last split, but with an unknown ceiling. Emperor has always been a top adc, and I think Ninja is a decent mid laner. With only the support not speaking Korean, I think they can do well. I think T8 can make it to playoffs, they got the talent. I'm rooting for Impulse. If they've improved over the break they'll be scary. Also rooting for TDK, mostly because of Emperor.[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha][quote=IceCreamy] 5. C9 - Lost their main shot caller, will need a split to adapt [/quote] They lost their shotcaller, but they instead got a fucking God in the mid lane. Incarnati0n is an amazing player, and mechanically superior to Hai. Decision and leadership wise, I doubt he will be a complete replacement as Incarnati0n has not had any competitive experience. C9 tends to be a very independent team based on Link's recent 17 page long reflection. Still, Hai was definitely the "end all" shot caller. I see Meteos stepping up as shot caller, or Incarnati0n training to be. Also, Stixxay was added to the CLG line up as a sub for Doublelift.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]TL #1 on Piglet's back! :3[/quote]

[quote=BigBoxGamer]That's a bold prediction, the games don't start until 12 pm Saturday.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]TDK had visa problems, they lost all bans for this week and need to use 3 noname subs. When teams figured out SK's weakness, they nearly lost every game in the progress. Lets see if TSM will suffer from the same.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]TSM can probably win this split, but I'm hoping for TIP to pull themselves together and finish first. They showed huge improvement over the split, and should have no problems finish top 3 this time.[/quote]
