EU Standings with Player stats Predictions
GROUP B #5. Team Vitality CABOCHARD 1.7 2.8 4.9 267 DJOKO 2.5 2.5 4.9 67 NUKEDUCK 3.0 2.6 4.1 306 STEELBACK 2.7 1.9 4.2 305 VANDER 0.6 2.1 7.4 31 I'll say this again, great individual talent but 0 team focus from this team. Cabochard has been a top tier player at his role for some time now and it's resulted in nothing, and the same can be said about Nukeduck, in which he had one of the most pathetic splits from a player that I'v ever seen. The newest player on this team is Vander in which he will help this team but it's not a T.E.A.M it's 5 players that run around doing nothing at the end of the day. One of the lowest kills per game team(8th) towers destroyed(8th) Dragons secured(10th) and Barons(9th) and that's all on the offensive side of the team in which you would think would be higher with Cabo and Nukeduck being very aggressive players with 0 minded on defense or team first mentality. This team is past their due in being a great team marking up like what 6 or so splits and they've looked piss poor in each split.
#4. Mysterious Monkeys JISU 3.1 2.7 6.1 259 LAMABEAR 2.3 2.9 6.8 102 COZQ 3.4 2.5 5.6 289 YUUKI60 3.5 2.3 5.4 277 DREAMS 0.6 3.6 8.4 32 I don't know S$it about this team, very "mysterious" you could say........... Coming in similar to how UOL came in with a purpose to upset teams, the problem is this team will be facing teams that have been together some time now and will test this team with communication and exp.
#3. Splyce
WUNDER 1.9 2.3 5.3 292
TRASHY 2.5 3.0 5.9 66
SENCUX 3.8 2.4 4.7 320
KOBBE 3.4 1.7 5.0 341
MIKYX 0.7 2.9 6.9 27
Been together for a year+ but that was never the problem with this team, it's talent above all else.
Wunder is constantly 1v5 or getting in positions where he should be, the bot lane of Kobbe and Mikyx is good but never that impressive, Sencux can't push out a wave to save his life adn Trashy can barely farm or survive to safe his life.
The fastest team last split compared to their earlier splits 2016 Summer when they were a slow team. Decent objective focus but tends to not ward as much which in turn gives up early dragons to the enemy team.
If this team can get a better jungler to replace Trashy, they could be top 2 again but until that happens, I'm placing them middle tier.
#2. Unicorns Of Love VIZICSACSI 2.9 2.0 6.3 307 XERXE 2.6 2.5 6.2 59 EXILEH 4.1 2.3 5.1 329 SAMUX 3.8 1.3 4.9 309 HYLISSANG 0.6 2.5 8.8 33 This team were on point last year, 2nd shortest game lengths, 2nd in Kills per game, 2nd in towers destroyed, The least amount of towers lost, 1st in barons per game. However, whenever they played against G2 they got destroyed G2 and UOL were both either #1 or #2 in every category but G2 proved UOL were no match for the top tier team. Well, a split later and it's the same team from before which isn't a bad thing but you have to ask yourself can they make it back to the EU Finals? The talent is there and is was the communication in which every Unicorn were pretty much involved in every fight but tend to struggle against the split push, especially if Vizicsacsi isn't on his game and helps carry. Hylissang is a favorite of mine but he has tendencies to die constantly around 3.2 times per game over his career in which was also the average of deaths in the 2017 Spring split 0.85 Kills 3.2 Deaths 8.58 Assists with 37.31 cs per game. He gives an fantasy owner decent assist points and also CS being fairly high also but for each assists comes with a decent amount of deaths to go along with it too, maybe a 3-4th option as far as Fantasy owners.
#1. H2K Gaming
ODOAMNE 2.4 2.3 5.7 297
JANKOS 3.0 2.4 6.8 71
FEBIVEN 3.9 2.1 4.9 319
NUCLEAR 3.7 1.9 5.5 317
CHEI 0.7 2.6 8.3 25
The EU Curse/Team Liquid ladies and gentlemen!
2015 Spring Split - 3RD 2015 Spring Playoffs - 3RD
2015 Summer Split -3rd 2015 Summer Playoffs -3RD
2016 Spring Split -2ND 2016 Spring Playoffs-4th
2016 Summer Split -4TH 2016 Summer Playoffs -3RD
2017 Spring Split -2ND 2017 Spring Playoffs-5th/6TH
This team has talent and amazing players, Febiven has proven before that he can be one of the best in not just his role but players in the World, Jankos has been a beast in the jungle for 2 straight years as well as his Roccat years and Odoamne has been a rock up at top lane. Every player on this has the skill but more times than not they all tend to go AWOL and play solo- Q style of games. H2 WHAT H2 3RD!
GROUP A #5. Roccat PHAXI 2.4 2.8 5.1 289 PRIDESTALKER 2.3 3.7 6.3 72 BETSY 3.1 2.7 5.0 313 HJARNAN 4.0 2.1 5.1 331 WADID 0.8 3.2 7.9 41 Decent players all across the board and great effort last split but this team just looks weak. 6 out of 17 of Hjarnan's 2017 Spring Split he ended the game with 0 kills and Betsy was no better, this team has two of the most passive and non threatening players at the carry roles and that's a problem. Pretty much the CLG of EU but without Doublelift, Betsy is Link who tilts and does pretty much nothing all game and Hjarnan has decent CS per game but can't carry while the rest of the players are just "there" to fill the roles.
#4. Fnatic
SOAZ 1.8 2.2 4.3 293
BROXAH 2.5 2.7 4.8 55
CAPS 2.7 2.2 3.9 297
REKKLES 2.9 1.5 4.0 310
JESIV 0.7 2.1 5.9 33
Gotta say I like Jesiv and the way he has turned his career a new leaf, started off on SK as the Mid, went to NA and didn't do much there, and now on FNC as the support and I like it. Fnatic were pretty much the Middle tier team, neither good nor bad but just even. Hopefully Soaz can comeback from his hiatus of being a bottom feeder and be the 2014-16 Soaz as we all remember him being.
If I have to say something negative about this team it's too damn PASSIVE! Soaz plays aggressive whenever he gets caught out but if not he's passive/aggressive while Rekkles is pretty much that KDA player that doesn't do anything to hurt his KDA, Caps ( oh, sorry I mean "baby Faker") is meh as far as being either passive or aggressive and Jesiv even as mid/support is pretty much all knowledge but passive smart.
Won't take chances to win even if they are getting destroyed. " Hmm, make 1 last effort to win but possibly mess up our KDA's or just lose and keep our KDA safe, lets do the second option"
#3. Ninjas In Pyjamas
PROFIT 2.1 2.5 6.6 299
SHOOK 2.5 1.9 6.7 79
NAGNE 4.4 2.3 5.4 302
HEAQ 4.1 2.0 5.1 301
SPRATTEL 0.7 2.9 8.4 27
Nagne is a big name from Korea/LCK but he's not this flashy mid, he's more of a passive farm for late game, team first player which isn't bad but looking at this team it looks like it was just thrown together and hope to stick. However, both Nagne and Profit will bring EXP to this team the thing is communication. HeaQ may be an underrated player for the upcoming split as he does have a yolo style and having 2 Koreans to back you up is never a bad thing.
Shook will most likely play his comfort picks like Rammus and Lee Sin to get Nagne fed as well as Profit but overall this team looks to be a fun team on the offensive side of things but objective focus and teamwork will most likely be low for this team in my opinion.
#2. Misfits ALPHARI 1.9 2.2 5.0 307 MAXLORE 2.4 2.7 6.5 77 POWEROFEVIL 4.3 1.9 5.0 319 HANS SAMA 3.8 2.0 5.5 305 IGNAR 0.8 2.3 8.5 41 I don't know what happened to Kakao in either contract or performance but him leaving MFS hurts this team, mainly becasue of Maxlore will be the new jungler and well in my opinion he's not very good. He can get kills no doubt but he dies so it's a constant trade and more times than not it hurts him and his team. Alphari can hold his own at top, and the bot duo are good as well as PowerofEvil but ban away Ori and/or Syndra and he tends to lose.
#1. G2 E-Sports
EXPECT 2.2 1.8 6.8 295
TRICK 2.9 2.0 6.6 101
PERKZ 3.8 1.9 6.3 334
ZVEN 4.1 1.1 4.9 351
MITHY 0.8 1.9 9.3 41
Tough group besides Roccat for G2 but overall I have no reason to doubt this team whenever they've won EU like 3 splits in a row with Zven and Mithy who have contested most of those G2 reigns.
Pretty much won EU over and over again with the same scheme, Expect split pushes, Trick camps, Perkz does his thing, Zven and Mithy push botlane to the third tower; rinse and repeat. Most of Trick's kills are from over aggressive enemy mid laners but against players like Nagne and now more experienced Caps and super passive Betsy I see Tricks' kills being a little lower this go around from before.
This team may win their Group but I'm going to say they won't win Eu Finals.
To Sum up Group A
- G2
- MFS
- NIP
- FNC
- ROC
GROUP B
- H2K
- UOL
- SPY
- MM
- VIT
Thank you
