I really feel like cloud 9 and immortals both deserve to go instead of clg.

Good on TSM for making it to their 6th straight worlds. ONLY team that can make that boast.

Even better to SKT for being the first World Champions to make it back and get to defend their title. First back-to-back WC? Tune in to find out!

I've never been a TSM fan, but they might be NA's only hope this year. I think we've never made it to semis before, but I'm not 100% sure. I'd love to see rapid improvement from C9 or CLG make this Worlds different from the others, but I don't see it happening at this rate. TSM will probably get as far or farther than all other NA teams.

Korea will win the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP while 2nd and 3rd place will also be from Korea. Every other region will fight for 4th place !

I honestly have decently high hopes for a good NA performance this year. C9 and TSM look pretty good. Still scared of KT and EDG tho.

Kind of sucks for CLG that even though they will tie TSM in points if they get 3rd and TSM get 2nd that TSM automatically goes to worlds because they were second in the summer split
