My picks for Worlds. What did you pick, and why are my picks bad?

I have not been watching the pro scene this year, so don't really know how each team is performing. I have chosen my picks based on past performance, and the fact that I have no idea who the hell one team in each group is (I placed those last). I weighed CLG a little higher than I expect them to perform because I liked them in the past for some of the members, but they always let me down D:

What did you pick, and why?

I consider you overvalued H2K, you know that EDG haven't even lost one game at summer tournament.

Your picks aren't far off from mine lol

I think you overvalued H2K personally, and I think that TSM and Samsung Galaxy are equally likely to take the top spot in that group. I, personally, hold hope for C9 to be second in that group as well. But aside from that, I think our picks are pretty similar.

Which means that you're going to be wrong I'm afraid... because my picks never turn out well ;)

Your Group B C D needs some work in my opinion. If the calm and collected Meteos shows up to worlds, there is a strong chance C9 goes ahead of FW.

EDG AHQ H2K INTZ is probably a more realistic group C and

RNG TSM top two and SSG and Splyce most likely the bottom two.

not necessarily realistic, just the way i want it to play out. but as the group stage had presented very unpredictable results last year i don´t really expect them to match expectations this year either.

**group A: **should feature rox and g2 as winners relativly savly, most likly rox will win it - but then again g2 has a lot to make up for so i expect them to put up a real fight this time

group B: kinda hard to predict, as flashwolves can actually beat or lose to everyone and i may might really be up for a surprise - i don´t really expect SKT to not make it through, but i still somehow would like to see some real upsets in this group

group C: EDG is the clear favourite (yet again) this year, and AHQ still should be ahead of H2K, though they have some chances for the upset if prolly prepares them well.

group D: kinda hard to call aswell, though i clearly see RNG as the favourite - everyone else should fight on relativly even terms.

H2K? Really? That's the only pick I think is ridiculous.

Too many people are overhyping teams that had 1 solid week and underhyping teams that had 1 not so great week.

Group A: ROX obvious favorites but G2 was good all split and maybe had a shaky finish so I don't understand how CLG could be above G2, CLG can definitely beat G2 but right this moment the clear order is...

ROX > G2 > CLG > NOX

Group B: SKT are clear favorites, C9 and FW are a toss up and IM probably 4th. No clear answer for those middle two. I agree with...

SKT > FW > C9 > IM

Group C: Did I miss something over in the LPL? EDG the face of LPL for a few splits now on a perfect win streak...not the favorites? I'm not even 100% sure how the analysts don't consider them the favorites for the entire Worlds. A super dominant team on their best split yet going undefeated, I can't put anyone over EDG right now, H2K? not even close the only arguments are ROX or SKT.

EDG > AHQ > H2K > INTZ

Group D: TSM and RNG should be the favorites but honestly in this group literally ANY outcome is possible. Even including Splyce, any order is possible. But again SSG was an okay team that had 1 good week at the very end, that is not enough for me to even consider them the real 3rd strongest team from LCK. TSM was dominant all split, had no close matches, their final matches were a sweep of IMT, a sweep of CLG and on a bad finals day they still didnt let the hyped C9 take them to 5 games.

TSM > RNG > SSG > Splyce

I don't watch enough lcs to have an educated guess for half of the teams, but here's my guess http://pickem.lolesports.com/share/series/3/user/3186779/my-picks

putting clg at #1 is more me just being hopeful than anything though. I've flip flopped c9 and flash wolves, and tsm and samsung galaxy a lot, but I think I'm gonna stick with where I put them finally.
