If the early days of the group stage show anything, it's that the Korean teams have trouble adapting quickly to non-traditional playstyles. The Ashe+Zyra combo is not something that any Korean team plays or has experience against, and Cloud 9 has perfected the duo over several weeks of the NA LCS. If C9 has a shot, it's going to be with Ashe+Zyra (or Varus+Zyra). We may actually see the Koreans ban out Ashe/Zyra/Varus and dominate C9's bottom lane, because they might feel that they don't need to ban out Hai or Balls. Meteos, however, will be key.

Basically, I wouldn't dismiss C9 immediately. They have the best shot out of any North American team.

with corki/ezreal getting more popular i feel bans on that bot lane would be a waste (maybe zyra?). there's no way sneaky hasn't picked up corki. id be at least spend a ban on rumble. balls can win top, mid, and dragon at the same time with that hero. then, obviously, there's meteos to worry about. the "cloud 9 meta" truly is unique and we'll see how it stacks up against other teams.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

this is definitely a great point

i think what we need to look out for is if C9 is able to snatch ashe+zyra, other teams may have trouble

korea especially has shown that they have trouble adapting - europe has dealt with both ashe and varus in the past while the chinese metagame is so crazy that they shouldn't be fazed by anything
