Hello fellow summoners,
I'm sure you all are curious as much as I am about who will do dominate the 2016 League of Legends World Championships. Do you guys think SKT can win their third world championship? Or will they get taken down by another team? Feel free to type in the team you are rooting for and best of luck to all the teams that are competing.
Personally as far as regions go I think C9 and TSM are better than all EU teams and most China teams. I don't see SKT as to much of a problem since they lack chemistry with a relatively new roster. As for ROX I think we will see them in the finals vs a NA team.
I've ROX is super good, (I rarely watch anything that isn't LCS) but I won't be too surprised if TSM brings home the cup. Still rooting for C9, if they play at their peak performance and don't choke, I think they can accomplish anything.
Calling it now, but the major eastern regions will not make it past the quarter finals. I have a feeling in my gut, and if I'm right, I give the biggest "I told you so" moment. If I'm wrong, it'll be ROX or EDG.
If we're going off of current team strength, then I think we can divide the teams into this fashion:
The "Top tier": EDG, RNG, ROX, FW
The "Mid tier": G2, TSM, H2K, SKT
The "Very exploitable weaknesses but not totally dead in the water tier": SPY, IMAY, CLG, C9, SSG, AHQ
The "Almost guaranteed last place tier": INTZ, ANX
EDG/RNG/Rox are without question the top tier teams, boasting incredible diversity in playstyle and are almost guaranteed to be in the semi-finals barring a massive and shocking collapse. More importantly, three of these teams have a #1 seed meaning that the chances of them facing against eachother and/or drawing a "difficult" group is pretty small. G2/TSM/H2K/SKT/FW are good, but not great. Each of these teams sports one somewhat exploitable flaw (g2 has a relatively new top-laner, TSM's top/jg have been pretty average, SKT's top lane has a limited pool that is easy to exploit, H2K has a habit of ignoring "series metas" making their drafts pretty awkward), and should fight it out for the last semi-final spot. The next tier consists of teams who should fill out the bottom-half of the standings, with each of SPY/IMAY/CLG/C9/SSG/AHQ having one clear flaw which teams can thoroughly capitalize on (SPY/IMAY starting rookies, CLG/SSG being incredibly inconsistent at times even against weaker teams, C9 being too impact-reliant recently, AHQ having a mid-laner who is still easy to "ban out" in champ select). Final tier is reserved for the two IWC teams, as although I thoroughly expect one of them to pick up a win or two (ANX being the most likely), the competition they faced to make it to worlds was laughable in comparison to the rest of the teams.
Rox probably has the best chance at winning, but I'll still root for SKT.
SKT T1
Need to see the groups to really see any potential upsets. Rox Tigers have to be a favorite to win the whole thing with SKT right behind them. EDG always go into Worlds as a high favorite but they never seem to play well through out the whole thing and gets eliminated in the first round each year but I'm thinking they will be in the Finals against Rox.
ROX is a favorite, but I think they choke against SKT, so if SKT is taken out by another team (which is possible based on what we've seen from LCK playoffs), then ROX, if ROX ever meets SKT, then it'll either be SKT or a EDG/RNG (IMay could possibly be in there as well considering they took RNG to 5 games and beat WE in 4 I think, so who knows). I doubt it'll be a team from NA, EU, or TW though (especially EU, G2 is the only team that has had their shit together imo, but because of the likely bad practice they've been getting against the other EU teams, they might not be too strong internationally even with their Korean bootcamp).
I think that it´s finally EDGs turn, Korea didn´t impress me much all season long and NA/EU still have some clearing weaknesses on all their teams...and the LMS can´t fight them on an individual level.
C9 because im a C9 fan. (for real they might have a shot at the NA championship next year)
jk it's probably going to be inhales KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, wait, i mean, ROXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I have a feeling like a Chinese team might pull it off this year
Riot, Riot always wins
Tbh, the top tier teams as said by many analysts and teams are probably ROX FW EDG TSM SKT RNG. They probably have the highest chance to win worlds. Also, tbh SKT is not a fav because of their jg and I am not a NA fanboy cause TSM has been acknowledged by many teams and Bjergsen is most likely the second best mid in the world.
I doubt it but i always hope TSM will bring us home a summoners cup
Team IDC will win. As in I don't care about worlds :>
Im rooting for SKT T1 ive watched them since s3, SKT T1 이겼 시 있어, man my korean bad and i am 100% korean too
