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 ;).

I was just about to ask why you were crying. You were the first person I thought of jumping for joy after H2k got out.

I am touched that I am the first person you think of when H2K does well.

Well you're one of the only people who posts frequently in this section of boards as well as some of the esports articles and you've been sporting the H2k logos for a while now. I think you had Team Liquid before that or TIP. You're the one person who could say they believed in H2k the whole time, that I would instantly believe.

It was TiP before, back when they had players. But H2K have been my boys for a while now, and it's really great to see them winning. And, with luck against ANX, I'll be able to see them when I go to the Semis.

I'm not really too big on H2k, but I've followed Jankos and Vander for a long time now, ROC was one of my favorite EU teams before the roster rehaul. Jankos is my favorite jngler ever, and Vander is one of my favorite supports. If H2k was the instrument they needed to get to worlds and show their strength, then maybe I can lend them my support, at least until worlds is over.

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]

Lmao, I'm banking on the knockout rounds to bring me back into this. I only have 9 points total after today's matches, my pick'ems bracket basically looks like that picture of a flaming dumpster that Riot tweeted out. The group stage has not been kind.

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.
