I just want to hear everyone's opinion on this. I think its amazing to be honest. IMT was a clear favorite, but unfortunately they couldn't keep it together when it really mattered. Cloud 9 is known to be very adaptive from a match to another so that Bo5 format really played to their advantage, and Huni... I mean cmon guy... Pull your shit together.

But seriously i'm not very surprised. C9 has always been a top tier team even if they had their bad moments.Hopefully they go on to beat TSM and get 1st seed for worlds.Then CLG lose to immortals so TSM instantly get 2nd seed.After that if Liquid win the 3rd seed that will make my day.
First two parts might happen, who knows.Third is very unlikely hahaha.

Except you screwed up some there. If(and this is a huge IF) C9 beat TSM in the finals, they get the 1st seed. TSM would have the 2nd seed for Worlds based on points in this case, being at 140, and CLG loses to IMT(if CLG wins, they tie with TSM in this case, which would be a tiebreaker I think). C9 wouldn't face IMT again, due to qualifying as the 1st seed. Then CLG, IMT, NV, and TL would all be placed in the regional qualifier for the 3rd spot.
In all likelihood, in the event that TSM passes CLG(which the team is poised to do), C9 will be there to witness TSM take the NA LCS trophy firsthand. In which case, TSM takes the 1st seed, CLG takes the second based on points, and then the regional will be C9, TL, IMT, and NV.
I see the 3 teams going will be TSM as 1st seed, CLG as 2nd seed, and a toss up between C9 and IMT as the 3rd seed.

Literally what i said...So i don't see how i 'screwed up'
Xantak1 votesLiterally what i said...So i don't see how i 'screwed up'
Read the bold/italicized text from when I quoted your last post. "Then C9 lose to Immortals so TSM gets 2nd seed." C9 already beat IMT to make it to the finals. Only way they would face IMT again, would be if both teams are in the regional qualifier, which would happen when TSM beats CLG, and then beats C9.
Takito1 votesYou're right, i screwed up. I wrote C9 instead of CLG because it was nearly 2AM and i was tired.Ok...
Still wasn't very hard to understand what i meant if you tried but whatever hahaha
Kings Avatar1 votesso i actaulyl just made a post about what i thought about huni. and tldr i feel like hes made a lot of progress but in this series he reverted back to last summer split huni
DREADN0UGHT1 votesHe just can't stand losing. He tilts soooo easily. Just watch the camera when it gawks at him at the end of C9's second game. He is already gone. Even on game 4 after winning he looked exhausted and moany.
YCitizenSnipsY1 votesI'm going to be 100% honest. If IMT doesn't pick dumb picks in games two or three I think they win. Never the less congratulations for C9 winning, good game 5.
Kings Avatar1 votesi wouldnt say it was pikcs untill the last game with the lissandra, but i would say that huni still tilts and like in game 2 when he was riven he started 3 and 1 and ended 3 and 5. we have seen him do well on carries thats what hes known for
AzureDragoon1 votesTo be fair to Huni on that last one, while I agree Lissandra wasn't the best pick (especially facing a team with 3 Bruiser/Tanks two of which only need 1 or two damage items at most), as the casters and analyst desk stated, it could've been used for early game pressure. Now granted, Impact did his thing, and slowed Huni down. And I could see the idea: "We'll use Lissandra, Rek'Sai, Taliyah, Trundle to lock down their team, especially their backline for Jhin to pile on the damage. But, game 5, I have to also blame WildTurtle and Pobelter for as well, on several points.
First off, for WildTurtle's Jhin, if you have an early game focused comp and you're facing an opposing team that has 3 tanky champions, why would you not go Armorpen Jhin? By the time Turtle got his 3 crit items and Last Whisper built, both Impact and Meteos both had Randuin's Omen and Guardian Angel on Ekko and Gragas respectively, which greatly reduces Jhin's potential power in a standard crit build.
Pobelter, by the end, look like he was also starting to wear out, and was overextending. which didn't help matters.
Adrian and Reignover were mediocre that game.
Now granted, Huni isn't blameless, and the split push, I know what Huni was trying, "oh, I'll split push to force them to have to respond to me" but well when C9 was far ahead at that point, they had to power to call that bluff and say "Hey that's fine, we'll let you knock down a tower or two, even grab an inhib. Because we can take out several of your team, and knock down several inhib turrets/inhibitors in that time."
Mazariamonti1 votesKennen is basically the meta answer to Gnar right now so it wasn't really a dumb pick. And let's not act like Huni hasn't walked all over some teams (C9 included) this season with that Riven pick. He almost did this game too and who knows what would have happened if he had just stayed with his team rather than try to solo base race.
arc951 votesC9 has very strong individual players (which they never get credit for)...their laners can hold up to any other na lanes...but their weakness was macro and teamplay... which is getting better every week
then some miss plays by imt (but you by no means can chalk it all up to that)
Aviatinq1 votesHuni didn't play as well as he could, and Impact played a ton better than he has been. I think that's the main reason C9 won. Impact pretty much got fed every time, and he used that to be able to dive the backline with the tanky damage dealers.
Kings Avatar1 votesi would agree witheverything but impact getting fed. he only got fed like 2 out of 5 games, he really just did super well at not feeding. compared to huni who when camped or anything goes wrong just tilted
Aviatinq1 votesWell it's more like 3/5. 3/3 games that they won, but the 1 game everyone on C9 could be considered fed. Impact fed= C9 Impact not fed= IMT
TBakes1 votesI said it before the series: C9's win condition is for Impact to absorb the pressure from Huni-Reignover so Meteos can pressure mid and bot for Jensen and Sneaky to get advantages. That is exactly what happened.
DREADN0UGHT2 votesYeah and well. Cloud 9's reserved and passive gameplay really got IMt impatient and possibly threw them on rash decision making.
III BAKURYU III 1 votesI for one knew C9 would beat IMT 3-2.
I know Jensen has the record for most kills in a game (20).
I know Impact is a World Champion and I understand that Sneaky is the most even ADC in NA history but honestly the wins for C9 is really thanks to Meteos.
He is constantly tanking for his team and doesn't care about KDA or Farm like he had in the past (2013-2014) but has really turned into a great shotcaller and team player for his team.
However I still can't believe that teams won't ban 
from him as all I ever see him play are those 2 champions.
JerulEon1 votesHuni unfortunately only plays carry toplaners well. When they banned out GP and Rumble, he went to Lissandra in the final game which was a huge mistake. I can really relate to him because I hate playing tanks toplane. Impact was just on point the entire series. Poor Huni...
Mazariamonti1 votesI won't pretend I wasn't worried about it, but I had a feeling it would be 3-2 C9 based off how both teams finished out the season. Huni honestly hasn't looked that great this season and Impact has really been pretty dominate for like the last four weeks or so. Really I think C9 looked like they had better individual talent and teamwork than Immortals had going into this series. Wouldn't have bet on it, but 3-2 would have been my prediction.
TenshouSNK1 votesHuni seemed very upset from facial reactions after the loss. But the guy was splitting when their team's inhibs were going down.
