  1. SKT or Longzhu for the win?
  2. Can any team upset in week 1?
  3. Can RNG beat an usually weak SKT? If yes, can they beat Longzhu?
  4. Does C9 have any chance against WE?

  1. SKT, LZ bot lane as look mediocre throughout groups... but there is no 100% confidence between Skt and Lz.

  2. Can there be upsets? yea. i think SSG can beat LZ.

  3. They won't beat Skt. and if they somehow do uzi finally get's his worlds title to solidify greatest adc.

  4. c9 actually has a pretty decent chance at beating WE in a bo5

The only thing i confused about is why in the standings c9 is at the bottom for group A. I thought they came in second which in that case I should have more points.

The order you see in the my picks is the order they'll be in, but the number besides them will tell you the correct placement.

  1. LZ looks more dominant. SKT seems to be playing weird, they can't seem to win early game. I don't know but I hope they fix it up.
  2. I don't think there will be any upsets. C9 vs WE
  3. RNG is #2 in China. SKT destroyed EDG despite being at 11k gold deficit. It seems the chinese teams can take a lead but can't do the team fights as good as the korean teams. That strategy will probably work against RNG too. Pick late game champions and win the team fight late game.
  4. C9 definitely has a chance. I don't think TSM is a good representation of NA. I'm not saying they aren't #1 and don't deserve it but they suck internationally. The way C9 played vs SKT and EDG early game tells me that C9 should do well vs WE. I think C9 had it tough vs EDG because of the draft (cait or j4+galio).

I think all the fights will be interesting to watch,.

I think C9 lost to EDG mainly because they picked the graves jungle when they needed shen more. Shen hadn't been banned yet. I'm starting to think that they are going to get targeted shen bans from now on.

Yeah, it looks like Graves got behind and just couldn't deal damage. Last week he was ahead so he can deal damage and bully the jungler.

Also, i think the bans will have to include J4, Galio. That combo is what really did it for C9.

I think J4 was bad to let slip through, but I think not banning galio was worse particularly given they didn't take the early shen pick.

Yeah, the J4 cant dive but with a Galio, he can dive cuz he gets huge damage reduction.
