[quote=Vapora Dark]Damn, I was going to make a Worlds thread seeing as I thought no one had made one yet and apparently there's been one for nearly a month and I just haven't noticed it l0l. I'll catch up when I'm done with college.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark]MY BRAIN SAYS SKT AND MY HEART ALSO SAYS SKT. I'll have to be at college again during the first game of the day. :( I think Fnatic actually does have a chance to win the whole thing. They were able to bring SKT to 5 games during MSI, back when they had steelback and weren't strong enough to clean sweep the summer split regular season. I mean you could argue that they were 5-2 overall against SKT during MSI so bringing SKT to 5 games didn't actually mean much, but it shows that on a good/lucky day they can definitely compete against one of the best international teams. I don't think they'll win but it's more likely than TPA winning season 2 worlds was.[/quote]

Fnatic has an underdog chance to beat SKT on a great day although I'd give them less of a chance vs Chinese teams based on past results. Same here on the college part too, it's a workgroup so I can't really sneakily watch it either. rip[/quote]

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]You could argue SKT has improved by a crapload, which i wholeheartedly believe in. I certainly cant prove it though. In the meantime the coverage for me LITERALLY starts at midnight.[/quote]

Steelback was statistically one of the worst ADC's in the game 3. Rekkles has proven to be one of the best ADC's in the west, not just statistically during S4 but also in gameplay and consistency[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]I have a really hard time judging group B. All the others are rather straightforward. Invictus are really, really good when they show up. When they don't they shouldn't be even playing at Worlds (pretty much their pre-playoffs form). If they are consistent and keep the same form they've had since playoffs I think they have a very good shot at making it into the top 4, unless they fall flat or face one of the top contenders (SKT, LGD, EDG) early. Fnatic hasn't impressed in the early game enough, which most likely will hurt them if they make it out of groups. They're great once they get rolling, but before that they are not that strong. I do think they will surpass AHQ and C9, so everything depends on if their early game is stronger and how well IG will play. Can't really judge AHQ, with the limited knowledge on LMS that I got. I do think though they're strong contenders to make it out of groups and possibly into top 4 if they get a favorable quarterfinal. Sadly, they're rather one-dimensional, even though they're good at it. C9 needs an even bigger miracle than they had during regionals. Unless any of the above underperform and the entire team has improved vastly in the break they most likely will place last. The only other things that might happen in the other groups is paiN surprising us all (unlikely) and Origen overtaking KT (probably not, but who knows), and maybe Ryu showing off his Zed skills.[/quote]
