#Worlds Pick'em - what say you!?

RiotHitstreak·Sep 25, 2015·5 votes·6,118 views

Full disclosure, I'm not an expert in the LPL or LCK so I'm going a lot off of analysis from the #LCS shoutcasters as well as the picks off our Celebrity Leaderboard.

That being said, here are my picks! Right off the bat, in group A, I ultimately think CLG will get out but I also REALLY like paiN gaming and think it would be freaking AWESOME to see them in the quarterfinals.

Enough about me. Share your picks! Who are your dark horses for group stage? If anyone is going to derail your chance at Championship , what team will it be? Also, what do you think of the celebrity leaderboard? Is there anyone you think we missed on there?

#Worlds is just a week away!

Well just by participating you are getting the first Icon.

At best you are getting 28 points with your predictions (unless something miraculous happens)

Go around and see the official predictions on the esports site, or those of Jatt in the boards, ultimately just copy my predictions. Whichever you choose, it's almost sure you are getting the second icon :)

Ultimately just swap BKT and EDG in group C, And put LGD in first place in group D. Those are pretty sure picks, agreed by pretty much all players/analysts.

I'll just let my picks be :3 I wanna try and believe in underdogs.

daniellizardSep 26, 20151 votes

It's not about believing in the underdogs, but about disbelieving in the gods. They might get offended. You don't want the gods angry...

(LGD is probably the best team in the world - last place is an offense, EDG is one of the best as well)

Honestly all I'm curious about is how well the NA teams will do. I mean CLG, C9, and TSM do well in their respective regions, TSM and C9 have been to worlds (don't remember if CLG has) but only C9 made it fairly far. I think CLG may be able to make it through the knockout stage, but TSM and C9 might not. Reason I think this is because C9's and TSM's performances haven't been as good as previous seasons in terms of cooperation. But I'm just going off of the games I have seen during the previous events, so I'm most likely gonna be corrected by someone.

All in all, I do like the NA teams that are going to worlds; But, I feel CLG will do the best this year.

CLG NA has never been to Worlds before-only CLG.EU has.

Oh really? I didn't know that. I was certain that CLG.NA had never been to Worlds before.

It's so hard to tell because it's been a month since we've seen TSM or CLG play. TSM, from their YouTube series, seem to be having some chemistry issues they need to work out. CLG just yesterday found out they'll have Xmithie. And then, there's Cloud9 who is the dark horse in Group B - no one is picking them to make it out but a lot of people counted them out in the gauntlet as well. I think the best case scenario for them might be to play spoiler, like KaBuM! did last year.

Probably. I mean C9 is my favorite NA team but based on how they played during their first 2 games of their first 2 gauntlet series I don't think they'll make it out of Groups. I would like to be proven wrong but at this time I just don't see it honestly.

******* FIXED THE LINK ****** :)

Here are my picks :)

CLG was heading for second place the last week, but after Xmithie VISA approval for the group stage, I've moved them to first.

I know AHQ, and OG picks might seem strange, but that's how I see it :)

Linna ExcelSep 25, 20151 votes

I've got the same set up for groups A and B. So I expect C9 to finish 3rd or 2nd and screw over everyone's pools. I've got TSM as being screwed ATM and H2K over bangkok.

As much of a fan as I am of Cloud 9 I just don't think that they'll get out of the group stages this time around unfortunately.

What the heck is up with Deficio's pic?

RiotHitstreakSep 25, 20151 votes

Which part? I obviously don't think FNATIC will end up #1 in their group but what do you disagree with?

momongaSep 25, 20151 votes

Am I the only one that put Fnatic at 3rd?

TurquoiseYoshiSep 26, 20152 votes

XD I meant that his picture thing that he used looks 1: 2-3(+?) years old and 2: Not thematically similar to any other of the casters.

I am always a fan of the underdog. Even though I did not pick C9 to make it out of their group, it would be too unbelievably awesome if they did. Also, though I did not pick either to be eliminated, it would be too unbelievably sad if SKT or EDG did not make it out. If C9 make it out and SKT/EDG does not, then there is no telling what will actually happen at Worlds. I have a feeling Fnatic will do really well against international teams and be the best Western team when all is said and done. I hope ahq live up to their potential.
