Help me figure this out.

So far, i know TSM is going to world. What the other teams need to go to world?

CLG win = World TL win = World

What are the other scenarios?

Thank you.

TL isn't automatically going to worlds if CLG win

There is no other possible scenario, TiP are basically fighting for top seed in Regional gauntlet and TSM is fighting for being included in the "pot 1" of the world draw in these finals

TSM is locked into Worlds CLG win -> CLG in Worlds TL win, CLG loss -> TL in Worlds Then the gauntlet happens for the last spot.

Now TL has won... If CLG wins tomorow. What is next for TL and TIP?

If TSM wins, CLG goes to regional along w/ TIP for regionals at a chance for last World Championship spot. If CLG wins, TIP and TL go to regionals for chance at last World Championship spot. TSM is locked in, TIP is headed to regionals. If TSM wins, they're guaranteed to not face LGD, Fnatic, or SKT-1 in the group stage. CLG wins, and TSM dances with one of those in the group stage. If anyone says TSM has nothing to gain from winning NA LCS Championship, they're full of crap. They have a chance to get a much easier, much less stressful group stage.

Of course, there's also the scenario that this year, that TIP and TL both miss their chance at World's if they both get sent to regional qualifiers and upstarted by a Cinderella team(C9 or Gravity), or that CLG loses, then loses again in the regional qualifier.

But I can see TSM, Team Liquid both going(TSM taking the finals), but the 3rd slot will be a toss up. Maybe Gravity pulls out some Keane cheese(I miss seeing his midlane Hecarim...) for the final slot with Cop realizing his World's dream, C9 rides the Hai shotcalling train all the way to Europe, CLG gets the LiftLift carry there, or TIP pulls together for regional. Depends on how tilted TIP and CLG are after tomorrow.

I think TSM will take the finals here, 3-0, or 3-1. CLG has performed extremely well this split, and swept TIP to reach their first finals, but it's TSM. The gods of NA best of 5. In my opinion, the "Dyrus' Final Ride" train won't be derailed. Not any time soon.

CLG did trick me, yes. And in a very big way. And CLG played extremely well, very aggressively early game. It seemed like TSM went back to the mid heavy Bjergsen comp, and put Dyrus back on a tanky champ style, with Yasuo mid, and having the mid be the one to counterpick. I would've preferred that if you put Dyrus on a heavy engage to work w/ Yasuo, put him on Malphite for a real wombo. Or if you're wanting to put Dyrus on something tanky, give him someone who also has a splash of carry/damage potential. Such as Trundle, Shyvanna, or Renekton maybe? The Olaf was out of the picture, but Dyrus has a past of very good Renekton capability. Wildturtle was on Kog'Maw all three games, right? I'm reminded of when UoL put Vardags on Lucian for 3 matches in a row, in the playoffs. Congratulations to CLG, and getting rewarded for all the hard work and trials they endured though!

I'm not sure where TSM goes from here(obviously World's), and whether they can survive the group stage. I really hope they do though, but they'll have either Fnatic, SKT-1, or LGD to dance with in their group. If it's Fnatic or LGD, they'll also have KT Rolster possibly to worry about. If it's SKT-1, most likely H2K.
