Ok so, week 2 starts today,

With group A (CLG, ANX, ROX and G2) starting off.

I am fairly certain Rox Tigers are winning this one out. They won't let G2 get that win, CLG is really good and might be the one to steal it, and Albus looks good enough to be a threat to CLG's second spot. Only thing that matters at this point for Albus is if they can react to an adapted strategy from CLG. My predictions for this group are:

ROX - 4-2 CLG - 4-2 ANX - 3-3 G2 - 1-5

Let's talk.

Yeah, I still think it's gonna be 50-50 between ANX and clg for that final spot. While CLG may "seem" good, history combined with the fact that 1-2 bans are going to almost assuredly be taken by brand/anivia make me think that they will definitely beat g2 and could upset rox.

It helps CLG and ALB that G2 are facing Rox in the first game of the day to extend the standings for both CLG and ALB.
ROX(3-1) beats G2(0-4) I however do see G2 playing much better in this game than in previous games so far at Worlds and would not be surprised if they beat Rox.

ALB vs CLG. Honestly who ever wins this game will more likely advance with the expected loss from G2 and history of CLG winning against IWC teams are not on their side. I'm expecting CLG to win but history is history. ALB(2-2) CLG(3-1)

CLG vs G2. I don't see G2 going 0-6 in the groups. CLG(3-2) G2(1-4)

ALB vs ROX. Rox "should" be able to get an easy win. ALB(2-3) ROX(4-1)

G2 vs ALB. EU teams typically gets it together for the second half of groups and I see G2 getting a win easily. G2(2-4) ALB(2-4)

CLG vs ROX. Rox just has to ban either Sol,Alistar or Caitlyn or all 3 and Rox should be able to win the game just under 28 mins. CLG(3-3) ROX(5-1)

I don't think ROX is as sure a pick as you make it seem. They could easily be sitting at 1-2, and quite possibly 0-3. (G2 dominated them before a crazy Baron steal, which shouldn't have happened if they just focused the jungler of ROX for like 3 seconds, and ANX dominated them early game before losing, and that wasn't a fluke from ANX as we saw from their next 2 games). I honestly can see G2 showing back up and winning 2-3 matches. CLG...ANX...both can win or lose any game.

Predictions: ANX 4-2 ROX 3-3 G2 3-3 CLG 2-4

G2 beats ANX, CLG, ROX ANX beats CLG, ROX ROX beats CLG

And if it doesn't turn out like that, then I think this is the group that has the best chance at having a 4 way tie, (same as above except ANX loses to CLG), or at the very least a 3 way tie between ANX, ROX, & CLG. This group doesn't have a clear cut 1&2 seed and tiebreakers will definitely have to be played.

After seeing ROX in the first week, i'm still trying to understand all the hype for them coming into worlds. They weren't dominant enough for such a hyped team IMO.

If i had to take a wild guess (at this point, with this year worlds, you can't do anything else than a wild guess anyway lol) i would say :

1-CLG 5-1 2- ANX (Why not?) 4-2 3-ROX 3-3 4-G2 0-6

The Rox early game is, well... BAD. However, they pull their shit mid game and pull back. CLG has been doing well for the most part, except a few slips.

G2, won't get a win. They don't know how to close out a game, or they just get stomped the beginning of the game.

ANX won't get, Brand and Anivia. So right there are their 2 best picks. So I don't think they will get out.

ROX CLG ANX G2
