I'd like to talk a little bit about the Quarter-Final matches.
SSW vs TSM - Even though I've been a TSM fan since Season 1, the reality is that TSM have around a 10% chance of beating White. Sadly, that's just how it is. I still believe they can pull it off but it's gonna be super hard. We'll see what happens. Imagine if TSM win though. It would be insane and amazing.
SSB vs C9 - RIP western teams. As with SSW vs TSM, I'd love to see C9 win but it's probably not gonna happen. I do think C9 have a better shot at beating SSB though. Probably 15%-20%? Imo, SSB are a little bit weaker than SSW and more vulnerable.
EDG vs SHRC - Honestly, SHRC getting 1st in their group should not have happened. Don't get me wrong, they are a solid team. But a few factors played into SHRC getting 1st. TSM playing really dumb and losing in that final match vs SK, as well as teams in Group B not being able to capitalize on SHRC's mistakes. TSM is the only team that managed to do it when they beat SHRC but that was it. SHRC are a solid team but they make a lot of mistakes imo and against top tier teams, they will probably lose. I think EDG will buckle up and they will prepare really well for their match. Almost going 3rd in their group will be a wake up call for them and I'm almost certain that EDG will come out on top in this match.
NWS vs OMG - Sadly, OMG have been playing 4v5 this tournament. DaDa777 is very lackluster and they really need a new support. I heard that Xiyang (OMG's former mid laner) was moved on OMG's roster again and is practicing support. I can imagine DaDa will be replaced after this tournament. Props to OMG for getting out of groups without a support but vs NWS, I don't think they will be able to win.
So I want TSM, C9, EDG and OMG to win but realistically speaking, I think SSW, SSB, EDG and NWS will win. Let's hope I'm wrong cause I really want Korea to lose this tournament. I'm tired of seeing Koreans just stomping everyone. It makes some matches really boring to watch. Like DP vs SSW. That was so incredibly boring xD
Let's go Western Teams! I believe!

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
Seriously, TSM has almost no chance to win a Bo5 against SSW. Mainly because their team has to many problems. WildTurtle is IMO one of the worst ad carries on this stage of the championship. Almost all the time he gets behind in farm and so far the only champion where he made a good game was on Tristana, which is a high contested pick, the rest he either got outplayed or just couldn't do anything dued to the cs factor. Dyrus on the other hand is very inconsistent. Either he gets ahead and carries or gets behind and make mistakes after mistakes. Against Looper, it's gonna be very VERY hard to get ahead. Amazing can only perform consistely on Lee Sin, which is also a very contested pick by DanDy.
Also, I would like to say that TSM shoutcalling is very unprepared. Take the call from the game vs SK: they didn't need to force the win, they could just wait patiently and the game was a sure win. However, they forced, got aced and lost the game. They made it trough, but the constant bad calls on that game (like I said on a blog before) costed them a tiebreaker with SHRC that would result in a possible semi final spot.
Why am I picking only on TSM? Because it's probably the one team that got the hype, but I just can't understand why. And also because I can.
EDIT: what is happening whit the blog page? Views usually were more than what I'm seeing in the past days around here...
