So Just To Take Stock So Far...

Korea: Still mostly dominant but occasionally showing they can bleed.

China: Either completely dominating games or getting completely dominated, same as usual.

EU: The two teams that dominated the Summer Split by a HUGE margin each go 1-5 and the one team that gets through groups is the one that was considered the textbook definition of middle-of-the-road at best. (No offense intended H2K fans.)

IWC: THEY ACTUALLY GOT A TEAM THROUGH GROUPS! OMG!

NA: The team that won the Spring split and the team that won the Summer split each fall with an identical 3-3 record. All that's left is the team that got in through the Gauntlet and they're in the group with SKT1 and Flash Wolves (though Flash Wolves are pretty much the prime example of the previous review of China's performance in Worlds so far).

This is... honestly pretty entertaining. Still pulling for C9 but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Flash Wolves have played very good so far, they are just unlucky at closing out the game. If they were 3-0 right now it would also make perfect sense. On a sidenote H2K are far better than their Summer split record showed ;).

It is quite entertaining but I feel like there will be many Worlds Pick'ems fans furious about not getting that 34 point poro icon, myself included lol.[slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Also a fun fact: the third team in that group tomorrow is realistically going to probably start the day 1-3 due to being forced to start one of their mid-laners as a support (with road being suspended for Michael-Richards'ing). Assuming the first game goes as it "should", C9 will have a half game lead over FW and will at the very worst need to win all of their games to make it through (although 4-2 seems like the more likely record in that group for a 2nd place team). Their odds are decent, even though the rest of NA (2-4 this week) is proving otherwise.

CLG and TSM could have made it farther but they threw so hard in too many games.
