6 thoughts going into Playoffs

Riot·8/16/2017, 12:59:45 PM·2 votes·13,912 views

Here's this week playoff thoughts from @meanmisterkien! 

Another split has come, and soon it will have gone. The usual faces have returned to the playoffs as the region gears for Worlds 2017. Will we once again see TSM against C9 or CLG in the Finals, or will someone else finally step up and change the pace?

Calling it now. Whoever wins the TSM vs C9 in the semis will be the NA Champions.

@Mean Mister Kien, In your "6 thoughts going into playoffs", Team NV's segment says "they need to secure a win here to atleast make the regional qualifier for worlds". Does that mean if they go 0-3 to Clg in the Quarterfinals that they won't be able to participate in the 'Gauntlet' tournament for the 3rd seed going to worlds?

Please don't be stumps, please don't be stumps, please don't be like the LCK playoffs with 2 splits in a row 3-0's around.

This isn't Envy's first time , they did it in 2016 Summer

I'm predicting some kind of strong counter-jungle champ that scales well as a frontliner too for the clg vs nv matchup. Perhaps something like kayn... to exploit OmarGod and still scale into a nice frontliner?
