Who are you rooting for to take home the Cup?

EDIT: WOW!! Post of the Day! AGAIN! Thanks Mom and Dad! And Baconhawk of course! ;) A lot of different opinions down below btw. Let's all agree to root for gg and for fun!

So, today was the first day of Worlds (YAAAAY!!!) and we got a pretty hip song from Imagine Dragons exclusively for the event (apparently they love League. Awesome right?) Anyway, since it has begun I'd like to throw a question here in the boards:

#Who are you rooting for to take home the Summoner's Cup this year?

Personally, I'm rooting for TSM! I think this year with Bjergsen and all, they have a way better chance of winning Worlds! But, I'm also rooting for Fnatic since they're european like me. :D

So, leave your comments down below and let the community know! ^^

C9, because that would make a killer set of skins! ;)

FlintfallSep 18, 20147 votes

And, C9 really personifies what I like in a team, they overcome problems by working together instead of just relying on the strongest member, not to mention we got Lemon's notebook!

MoreAmorSep 18, 20146 votes

Well said. If anyone from North America should win it for us, it's C9. They actually work together and maintain a more positive attitude.

FluxBoundSep 19, 20141 votes

yeah, with TSM, the shoutcasters just say "bla bla bla Dyrus, bla bla bla If he wins lane, then TSM wins, bla bla bla he's the oldest on the team bla bla bla..." Not that I despise them or anything, anyone who likes C9 should probably respect TSM

RiotRiot BaconhawkSep 19, 20145 votes

If TSM wins, we'll have to find a champion that can carry a pillow.

Bandle City BotSep 19, 20141 votes

Nap Time Mundo, Cleaver to Pillows Burning Agony to Teddy Bears or even typical ZzZz effects

Done!

Um, how about Lee Sin? I know that he has a lot of skins already and that one of them is a championship skin, but Lee Sin as a Sleepwalker throwing teddybears and giving blankets to friendly players and popping up beds and smacking people with pillows has so much potential (Plus, of course, the blindness/sleeping thing). Besides, while Lee does have so many skins, he doesn't have a comedic one.

*Edit, my last point is moot, I forgot about Pool Party

I have a GREAT idea for TSM Maokai (at least in my opinion) : Maokai, wearing the traditional black/gray and white outfit/clothes with the big, white TSM logo, he has orange/white (glowing) eyes wearing the classic yellow glasses Dyrus has. Where are the pillows, you ask? Well, just think about how awesome PILLOW SAPLINGS would be! White, smiling pillows (with perhaps orange/yellow, glowing eyes) and maybe the TSM logo on their back.

I think that it's a really good idea and that it could work really well. :D

WickedKingSep 20, 20142 votes

Well he did play as Ryze Ryze, so he can have a trophy on his back (don't mention Trophy Ryze skin) and the book he's carrying will be his pillow instead, tossing it with Overload (or his Spell Flux with all thse feather coming out).

Plus that glasses (yellow lens and black rim) on the team.

Astral DuckSep 20, 20141 votes

Gnar with a pillow? :o also the adc will have to make a smile, no matter what.

FluxBoundSep 21, 20141 votes

I made a post about these skins (PilLulu), but it got taken down, cause it wasn't a skin concept. well at least my ideas can live here

YetiGTSep 18, 20144 votes

A set of "clean and simple" C9 skins would be really awesome! not to mention i would love to see C9 throw out a comeback after last years worlds performance.

FluxBoundSep 19, 20143 votes

Braum NEEDS a notebook shield

YGW CaspieSep 19, 20141 votes

Kabum are clearly going to destroy everyone at worlds, might as well start making the skins now... :P

I'm cheering for C9 to do well but I bet a skin that Samsung Blue is going to win worlds over Samsung White... and I hate losing bets.

Linna ExcelSep 19, 20141 votes

Killer skins are always a great thing to root for. :)

However I can't bring myself to root for skins because chances are they'll be for champs I don't own or don't play. Still, it would be nice to see an NA team win.

endtime00Sep 22, 20141 votes

I want Cloud 9 to win worlds as well. However, either Samsung Blue or Samsung White is most likely going to win; they both seem to be the one of the strongest teams of the world.

Insane PyromanicSep 18, 20149 votes

i was rooting for tsm till regi started acting like an asshole on twitter for no apparent reason. On one hand i like their players but on the other hand their management causes more drama than 14 year old girls. Im really excited for c9 tho, and I think LMQ and Fnatic actually have a shot at getting out of group C

MoreAmorSep 18, 20148 votes

As a long time TSM fan I couldn't do it anymore. I love Dyrus and WildTurtle still but Regi is just making it difficult with the lack of respect for other League personalities.

MrBuffingtonSep 18, 20142 votes

I'm with you on this; every time I get close to becoming a TSM fan, Regi finds a way to screw it up. It's a shame, I really like their squad now but I really don't want to see Regi on that stage

Bandle City BotSep 19, 20141 votes

Seems to be everyone's problem

People enjoy the teammates, which is who you should really be rooting for, but people are willing to withdraw support because their management can be a real dick when it comes to his utilization of social media.

MrBuffingtonSep 20, 20141 votes

I think I'd have less of a problem with it if Regi wasn't such a visible part of the team, if he just sat quiet in his corner and congress his money or whatever, fine, but he constantly has interviews and all the social media stuff.

OmegafilterSep 18, 20146 votes

Anything but tsm I could live with.

King MandooSep 18, 20145 votes

Anyone buy TSM. I'm sorry, but Regi and Locodoco are acting like idiots. They need to realise that this is an international event and when they post things online with malicious intent, THEY WILL PAY. Right Riot?

ZeralyosSep 18, 20145 votes

Cloud 9. I just admire the way they play together.

ÐexteritySep 18, 20144 votes

C9 C9 C9

Linna ExcelSep 18, 20143 votes

Anyone who is willing to play either Poppy or Ahri.

Short of that, I guess I'm rooting for Uzi since he's probably one of the best players in the finals and he didn't quite make it last year.

Bandle City BotSep 19, 20141 votes

This, All of this.

KevinDelMarrSep 18, 20143 votes

Glory for the Alliance. CLG.eu was my first favorite LoL team, and Froggen my favorite player so my allegiance has past on to the Alliance. Wickd always has that pocket weird pick and Froggen always plays his best, so they're fun to watch.

AamanoSep 18, 20143 votes

TSM!

MeBuffULongTimeSep 19, 20143 votes

Cloud9

ModPrandineSep 18, 20142 votes

Cloud9-they're my favorite NA LCS team and it would be nice to see them win at Worlds this year and time around as well, so there's that at least.

Little WolfSep 18, 20142 votes

I'd love for C9 or TSM to take home a win for NA. It seems unlikely but I choose to believe!

Hi Im BaemaxSep 18, 20142 votes

I want royal club for the skins. Then I can sing royals and have a skin to match

Lost HeroSep 18, 20142 votes

Fnatic, Double Championship skins would be sick

cshakesSep 19, 20141 votes

Also, then we might get an official Kassawin skin!

NA DarklarikSep 19, 20142 votes

I know they wont win but...

Go TSM! even tho they wont win.... Cries

Phoenix Kotori Sep 18, 20141 votes

Samung Blue, can you imagine the Yasuo skin that would get made for Dade? DO WANT.

They missed worlds last year, but they've looked amazingly strong all year in OGN, I want to see them succeed. Though I'd be happy to see their Sister team White win as well, I've been a fan of the Samung teams since back when they MVP still.

RiotRiot BaconhawkSep 18, 20144 votes

My 2nd vote is for Blue :)

dialMARK4acti0nSep 18, 20146 votes

Boy... You really want blue skins for 5 champs don't you? xD

ShadowGlaive213Sep 19, 20141 votes

I'm rooting for the Korean teams because if they win my brother has to bake me cookies =X

12talesSep 19, 20142 votes

Your brother probably shouldn't get into gambling.

BrydaroSep 19, 20141 votes

I hoping for the US to win. It'd be even better if it's TSM that brings it.

GhastlyGhoulManSep 19, 20141 votes

My team is c9 all the way. :)

So far in worlds, though, the picks and bans have been uninteresting. It feels less like, "Who's the best team" and more like "Who's the best kha/lee sin/lucian/thresh". I suppose it's understandable that they'd wanna go with "safe" picks, but I'm sure these guys practiced other team comps that worked. Let's get some champ variety guys! :D

ZXDYKioaMxSep 19, 20141 votes

Hype trains are lame who the heck wants to see the team that's "supposed" to win, win every year knowing it's always going to be Korea that is "supposed" to win.

I don't care how much people downplay NA, I'm rooting for TSM as my favorite team and a team from my region. And if TSM are knocked out I want C9 to win then.

It would be a good sight to kill off some of the Korean hype, it's getting so bad that it's even getting in the way of the analyst desk guys and the casters in general. No one will ever have hope for other regions if the analyst keep downplaying non-Korean teams.

Every time a Korean team gets a win....."They dominated, outplayed, perfect shot calling".

Every time a non-Korean team gets a win....."Their opponents team comp was bad, the other team had a bad laning phase".

Actually it isn't so much a Korean specific thing. Just in general all the favored teams are represented positively while the casters kind of make a mockery of other regions by downplaying any good games to "The other team was off".

AlzeronSep 19, 20141 votes

Dunkey's gonna win it. He'll take the cup.

In all seriousness, I'm rooting for TSM and C9.

FlyntlochSep 19, 20141 votes

I want Fnatic to win again to retake there throne of the worlds. I also would want C9 as my second idea. TSM Is overated, but then again so are C9 And Fnatic. I think I am biased though.

Duchess of DeerSep 19, 20141 votes

as long as sk loses im happy

SiachiSep 19, 20141 votes

Not sure really; I heard one team used Rumble at some point. I might root for them. it's always been "Whichever team uses my favorite characters" for esports. =\
