I would be lying if I said Echo Fox were going to be this impressive, I knew they would be better than this 1-17 but honestly I'm shocked at how well they are playing at the moment. I predicted a 5-13 record but they're 4-4 right now so only praise coming from me.
Echo Fox's win against TSM isn't as low as I first thought as TSM still has communication issues/leadership and just overall don't seem to have the same objective focus as they once had, not to mention they're back to the 40-50 min games; well honestly the whole NA lcs are in constant 40-50 min games( which doesn't bother me as a viewer as I love hour long games - Just me) to give an example on TSM's game lengths. 2014 Spring 35 mins per game 9TH 2014 Summer 39 mins per game 3rd 2015 Spring 37 mins per game 5th 2015 Summer 42 mins per game 1st 2016 Spring 34 mins per game 6th 2016 Summer 32 mins per game 10th 2017 Spring 38 mins per game 6th In the past 38 mins per game was either 1st, 2nd or 3rd longest games for certain teams but 6th(38) WOW!

NORTH AMERICA ...............................

  1. Team Envyus vs Echo Fox I don't care much for NV's Top Seraph and jungler Lira. They're both just not doing much of anything other than dying and getting beat in the lane phase, mainly Seraph who each time I watch a LCS game with Seraph 2014(CLG) 2016-17(NV) he gets beat constantly in lane and against Looper should be fun watching him get destroyed.
    2-0 Echo Fox

  2. Counter Logic Gaming vs Team Liquid This is the time for one of these two teams to start picking up wins mainly because compared to their next upcoming weeks against teams such as TL - Immortals, Echo Fox, Cloud 9, Envyus CLG - Phoenix One, Team Solomid, Dignitas, Cloud 9 It's funny how it was Reignover who helped CLG at Worlds with Jungle picks and how for CLG one of the biggest issues is how they can't engage. You can say Darshan dies constantly or how CLG's botlane just isn't doing as well as they once did but for me it's Xmithie. He needs to return to his MSI, 2016 Spring self and help carry as I know he can but he's just not getting in the right positions to do so. 2-1 Counter Logic Gaming

  3. Immortals vs Echo Fox Should be fun games as far as amount of kills go but for IMT they seem to be facing a team that knows how to win. 2-0 Echo Fox

  4. Dignitas vs FlyQuest Nothing seems to be going in Dig's favor that's for sure. With the amount of communication issues that there seems to be on Dig something tells me they don't seem like a team that watches VOD's or replays of teams with the same mindset. Ssumday/Chaser are ok but.... while Keane/Xpecial and Lod are incredibly useless in games. If Dig loses they will be 2-7 hard for a team to make playoffs when after this series they will only have 9 more games to reach that goal. In most fans minds they are already eliminated but if they lose this series or another series this week they will be toast! 2-0 FlyQuest

  5. Phoenix One vs Cloud 9 Let's hope the "Rise from the ashes is true" for P1 because they have hit rock bottom. After a 0-2 week they need to start flying high because after soaring to a 3-1 start to only fall to 4-4 something needs to be done.
    Is there something wrong? - No and Yes No because they faced CLG, TSM and FQ no laughing stock of teams. YES because at the same time they've only beaten TL, IMT, EF, NV - Golf Clap! They need to start winning against the more well known and better teams to get higher in the standings. They don't want to face potentially TSM or FQ in the first round if this continues. 2-0 Cloud 9

  6. Team Solomid vs FlyQuest ah.. Really hard to say who could win this but if I had to choose I would say TSM only because out of depth. FlyQuest did great against Cloud 9 but I feel like teams know how FQ works now. Pressure bot as Altec just isn't a good teamfighter and never was and you have a 2-3 TSM player advantage as I don't see Bjergsen losing straight up to Hai in lane and neither for Hauntzer against Balls, those two lanes should go even for the most part.
    2-0 Team Solomid

  7. Team Liquid vs Dignitas Off topic but after looking at this match up whenever I see Team Liquid I instantly think of a bathroom or someone using it and Dignitas I think of Spaghettie sauce. I don't know, maybe it's neither here nor there but so are these two teams. 2-0 Team Liquid

  8. Counter Logic Gaming vs Immortals Can't wait for the Dardoch blooper reel, but I do see Immortals winning the series 2-1 Immortals

  9. Team Envyus vs Phoenix One NV needs to win this to make playoffs......1-7........ never mind. 2-0 Phoenix One

  10. Cloud 9 vs Team Solomid It's been what 4 or so weeks since the last C9 vs TSM game so TSM should be much better, not exactly. I think the week 1 TSM was much better than the current TSM as of late constantly in full 3 game series. Going on a limb here but I do think TSM will win the series 2-1 Team Solomid

  • Also G2 vs UOL should be a great series, not only are G2 and UOL undefeated they are both neck and neck as far as

Game Length G2 10th(Longest)
UOL 1st(shortest)

Kills per game G2 3rd UOL 1st

Deaths per game G2 2nd(least) UOL 4th

Towers per game G2 1st UOL 2nd

Towers lost per game G2 2nd UOL 1st

Dragons per game G2 3rd UOL 4th

Rift Herald per game G2 2nd UOL 1st

Barons per game G2 1st UOL 2nd

Wards per min G2 4th UOL 10th

Wards cleared G2 2nd UOL 7th

Even with the shortest game lengths per game 33 mins UOL are getting the most kills per game and aren't too bad as far as towers per game, Dragons, Heralds, and Barons go either. G2 while their Towers, Dragons, Herald etc are good even with around the 39 mins per game they are still 2nd in the EU lcs as far as holding their towers up around 3.4 or so per game that's incredible honestly.

  • Great series, Keep it up dudes!
