Regional Qualifier IMO IMT vs C9

Top/Jung: Huni is always playing something that's isn't really meta or high pick in LCS which throw IMT off. And he play pretty cocky most of the time which is his weakness and why Reignover and his synergy has fall off. Impact will crush Huni again like quarter finals. As we all know Impact and Jensen improve pretty much in the playoff.

Jung/MID and Jung/Top: Reignover, I think hes still pretty good. Except I think the only reason why hes is doing poorly is because his top lane is too cocky and his mid lane is too heavy farm focus during lane phase and pretty passive. POB is almost like Froggen except he play really passive and doesn't run well with Reignover as he play really aggressive and love to make play. So this kinda force Reignover to be a less of a playmaker which really make Meteos life easier, because Meteos does't really gank heavy beside being there for counter gank or warding for his laners.

MID/Jung: As said in the jungle role already. POB is really a passive player during lane phase. Jensen imo would be the 2nd best mid laner in NA after Bjergsen. They're both the only 2 mid laner I know go off and can solo kill their opponent in lane. I think having both solo lane pressure from Top and Mid will make Meteos life easier

BOT/Jung: I think Sneaky isn't that super aggressive during lane phase but hes pretty much better in Team fight than Turtle. Even tho turtle is much better during lane phase with his aggression, so it could go either way depending on who pressure/defend their bot lane more during this Series

Team as a Whole: C9 are much better in laning phase from the look of it since playoff, but they're still lacking how to Team fight and group on objective cleanly. IMT have a much better Team fight and they have better synergy when grouping then when split.

-Huni seems to be the guy that tilts a lot. When he does, he takes Reignover with him. If that happens, the bot lane and mid lane can't carry them. -Meteos also seems to tilt and he does play a lot of junglers

Sneaky I believe is the best ADC. He is the only one that consistently 2v2s other teams including IMT and TSM. Jensen is better that Pobelter

All in all, i think it depends on who tilts more

I think the game will depend on the junglers

Impact is a monster if he continues playing at his "skt" impact caliber he will dumpster Huni...Huni is too crazy (from lack of a better term) with his playstyle and a exceptionally good/refined meta slave style of play will absolutely punish that (also c9 needs to permaban Rumble xD)

Jensen is again better than pob but I dont think good enough to carve out a significant lead by himself( like solo kills/ massive cs differences) but can with roams/ junglers

bot lane vs bot lane (even matched in lane, Sneaky& Smoothie improved a ton in that area... but C9 bot is WAY better in team fights)

so that leave Meteos Reignover(which I think reignover is better)... Meteos is really the only weak link if Reignover can punish Meteos like Svenskern did and can win bot/mid with strong ganks(which are close enough that superior jungling can easily tilt the matchup one way...but Impact is too good at absorbing pressure if reignover focuses him it is a easy C9 win)

so overall with better jungling IMT can easily win the series, but that is IMT's only chance... otherwise C9 is too strong across the board considering Impact playing to his old world champion caliber and their improvements in macro(which is another losing point for C9 if they struggle closing out games quickly, which is still their biggest issue macro wise, IMT can definitely punish C9)

as for the supports, smoothie beats adrian because of smoothies champion pool, adrian has been showing more diversity but i think that smoothie has improved a lot and is better than adrian now

this match will be top lane focused and will be up to meteos or reignover to set up impact or huni to carry

All IMT have to do is set off Memeos and make sure Huninstall does work. Although Impact is playing too damn good rn.

IMT FTW! (I just don't like C9 at all)
