Looking Forward to Saturday

IncrediPhiLL·Oct 10, 2019·2 votes·3,426 views

Been really enjoying worlds so far this year. A couple of really good games happening and even a couple of really good B05 series. Super excited to tune in Saturday morning and see how the group stages are going to go. SKT v FNC as the opener is gonna be dope.

I have a lot of excitement watching Worlds every year! Just wanted to share that excitement with you guys. While a lot of people are trying to politicize this event, I just want to throw out there that I've been having a good time so far!

FNC vs SKT I think FNC will get the early lead on SKT(5-1 in kills) but SKT turns it around after the 13-14 min mark and wins the game.
Group C looks like it'll be competitive but I honestly think 8 out of 12 of the games are easily going to be 1 sided stomps.

RNG vs CG Clutch tries to get any sort of offense but fails to do so. RNG wins.

IG vs AHQ A 34 min blood bath with IG taking the victory.

DW vs TL Will most likely be a rerun to the first KT vs TL game at the 2018 Worlds.

JT vs FPX If J team is going to beat FPX it's going to be this game but I doubt it. Surprisingly, I do think J Team will actually make FPX sweat a bit.

Give me and SKT win (I'm not a fan of either team)

RNG gonna curbstomp CG... but i'll never doubt NA 3 seeds.

IG beats AHQ... but I do see a potential for an upset

TL beats Damwon because i'm an NA fanboy and I believe

FPX beats JT

I would be shocked if AHQ beats IG! AHQ is honestly just Ziv and even he can't carry AHQ to a victory over IG.

Fnatic vs SKT the 2nd meeting I think will provide for a shocker and the same thing for DWG and TL. Korean teams are weak within the first week/games of International tournaments so. And the same can be said about Fnatic where they struggle is the start of tournaments but tend to warm up after.
Since 2014:(2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018) 2014
1st week 1-2 2nd week 1-2

2015 1st week 1-2 2nd week 3-0

2017 1st week 0-3 2nd wwek 4-1

2018 1st week 2-1 2nd week 4-0

I actually have Team Liquid #1 in the group but TL tends to look scared and overall, having cold feet when it comes to the first games at tournaments.

Many of the teams I have either making it out of groups or coming close are losing most of their games in week 1.

I really want Liquid to be successful. They have the easiest group of all NA Teams, but man, I don't see DL stepping up to the plate and I'm not sure Jenson can carry him out of a group with Korea and China. I'm hoping so much. I'm a DL hater, but I'm an NA lover come worlds time.

NA the #2 region in the world. Quote me.

I honestly think TL's fate relies on Impact and if he's able to not die constantly like he tends to do when on the International stage. YES, he can flank and overall be a great teamfighter but this dude loses lane so often in the past(pre MSI) that it was a meme for me and Impact about just playing tanks."Top die/dead" is a 2-way-street. Can't stall out games in the 40+ like he did on Cloud 9. Impact must improve and while I do think if there was a Most Improved player award he should be given but he's gotta take it to another level against TheShy and Nuguri and even Ziv as Ziv has been the best top laner in the LMS for the past..IDK 5 years?

Damwon plays very similar to TL and even tho TL lost to SKT 2-0 at MSI they still wanted SKT instead of G2 or IG because they matched better with slower teams better.

Doublelift - Man will he get so much backlash to the point where I think he'll give us a Dyrus Worlds 2015 speech if TL doesn't make it out of groups! He's either over confident on twitter or he's still streaming and making youtube videos instead of actually practicing. So either TL are either going to destroy Group D or they literally don't care about Worlds this year, IDK.

Oh, believe me when I say I'm a NA fanatic but at the same time- NA is NA at the end of the day. With that said, I do think Team Liquid has a 75% chance of being #1 in the Group and C9 has a 50% chance of making it out of Groups and Clutch, Clutch....Clutch actually has a chance to play spoiler and help eliminate.......SKT
