TSM vs C9! If TSM wins, that means TSM,CLG,C9 going to worlds. If C9 wins, TSM,C9,IMT going to worlds. What do y'all think and give me more detailed reasons why which team has an the advantage here. Which 3 team would you guys like to have to represent NA at Worlds. Is this year's world hyped up? SKT did lose to KT. KOO tigers are the top dog to win Worlds after the results of LCK SUmmer Finals.
I'd like to see TSM, C9, and IMT go to worlds, I don't personally feel like CLG deserves to go after this past split, they performed horribly. TSM was able to abuse the crap out of their weaknesses in the semi-finals, I feel like they wouldn't have a chance internationally in their current state. That being said I think IMT suffers from easily exploitable weaknesses as well so I don't like the third option being either of the two, but there's also no better teams in NA so our choices are few and far between.
Additionally it's not guaranteed to be IMT or CLG that is your third contender for worlds, remember the third slot for worlds is determined by running through the gauntlet which is how Cloud 9 got there last year. So there is the off chance that some other team, idk liquid perhaps makes a miracle run to pick up the third slot.
Finally, I feel like it's TSM and CLG that go through championship points and summer split victory, as I don't think that C9 beats TSM for the finals, it's possible as they're a good team, but I don't think they'll take the series. I'm also slightly bias in that I'm a TSM fan so there's that.
When it comes to worlds I'm just hoping we make it out of groups this year, last year was depressing.
I think TSM, C9, and IMT would be the best representatives, but that requires c9 beating TSM which is a bit of a long shot. The gauntlet should be interesting this year. It's kind of disappointing that this points system has a high probability of sending CLG when they are not even close to being a competitive team at worlds right now, but whatever.
I want to see C9 win because I like them and I'd like to see what IMT can do at Worlds. I also think TSM / C9 / IMT gives NA their best shot at making some noise at Worlds this year. We'll see though, I feel like TSM and C9 are actually pretty close right now so it could be a great series.
I would say the entire series is going to be decided by the Sven vs Meteos matchup. When either one is on, their team usually rolls. The lanes honestly seem pretty even across the board, they'll depend completely on picks. All I really ask of this series is that it goes to 5 games with no stomps.
If i can give my own opinion:
Top lane : Hauntzer got the advantage.Impact is having great playoffs but Hauntzer did so well at avoiding the ganks last serie and just perfoming very well in general during the whole split.
Jungle : I would probably give the advantage to Meteos seeing as he was giving reignover some trouble. Sven is really good but i think Meteos on a good day can beat him.
Mid: Bjergsen. Do i need to explain? Jensen is good but Bjerg is the best NA mid laner for a reason.
Adc: Doublelift in lane, Sneaky later on. Can't say exactly why i'm saying that, maybe because Sneaky is my favorite player.
Support: Gonna give this one to Biofrost. Might be a rookie but he is doing an incredible job. I don't think Smoothie or even Bunny Fuufuu can do better.
Bot lane in general: TSM. Biofrost and Doublelift seems to have a solid teamwork.
Seems like TSM should win, but i actually think (and hope) C9 will take it. They are very unpredictable and always come strong when they need to.
Also i would like to see C9 first seed with TSM second and something like NV third seed for worlds.
P1 would've been better than NV but we take what we can guys![zombie-nunu-tears]
I didn't know if TSM wins Cloud 9 would be qualified for Worlds solely off the NA Finals ! I thought CLoud 9 would still need more points to catch back up to IMT Interesting !
I think the series will be closer than what people may think in my opinion. First I want to say my predictions on the series, I think TSM will win 3-1.
Hauntzer and Impact are very similar on how they play both are "left" on an island at top by their teams however if I was a gambling man I would say 
and 
will be a factor on how they both are left alone at top (for the most part) but Hauntzer is a more with team objective while Impact is a more "help" team with GP ult something that helps his team but he isn't a "with" his team player this split.
Anyone seen Hauntzer on 
during the spring split????? I'm expecting something near that in performance by Hauntzer against Impact.
I will talk more on the other roles and players on a later date.
Tbh I would like to see SKT win worlds just for the lols at this point.Imagine 3 sets of SKT skins.
All we know so far is: If TSM wins, TSM and CLG are going to worlds If C9 wins, C9 and TSM are going to worlds As for the 3rd seed, it could go to just about anybody at this point. It just depends on which teams "show up" at 100% and which teams dont because the four likely 3rd seed teams (IMT, TL, and CLG/C9 depending on who wins in the Finals) have all had problems with consistency in the past split.
I hope that C9 wins both because that would give us a better shot of winning worlds if CLG wasn't there(so srry guys but its true) and because ive always liked them over all the NA LCS teams. Plus for the skin sets if u win worlds, TSM and IMT wouldn't be bad but C9 would look SOOOOO cool

TSM because I'm a TSM fanboy but the meta currently favors Doublelift and Biogod in the bot lane. I strongly believe that Bjersen will still win mid. I give C9 the advantage in the jungle position and top is a coin toss. Hauntzer was bullied and ganked so many times in the CLG matchup but he took the bruises and smiled and kept on going. TSM macro game is still second to none in NA. It's hard to say that C9 would take them down. IMT was a good win but the split has shown that TSM is in a league of their own when it comes to macro play. Honestly I think that I would rather CLG come with C9 and TSM to worlds. IMT's has faltered a bit and what games I have watched have not been the dominant IMTs team we have come to expect for this year. I think CLG has a wonderful chance to make some noise in worlds. I don't think KOO Tigers will stand atop the rest at the end. Sure taking down SKT is great but i don't think that makes them a shoe in for the championship all together.
Jensen and Impact has transform into Super Saiyan in the playoff
It might be closer than you guy think
Can't you guy see their flowing Gold hair flying on Stage
