NA LCS 2016 Summer split predictions and thoughts ( LOTS OF READING )
XxXx LOTS OF READING XxXx PART 1 out of 3 YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !
Ok in my discussion I'm going to talk about NA team standings for the summer split also players to watch for and other stats related topics. I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT RENEGADES- or TEAM IMPULSE( in depth as their LCS spots are lost )
XXX LCS STANDINGS XX Out of best of 3's for NA I will count the series as a whole so if CLG beats TSM for example 2-1 CLG will have 1 WIN in the standings, I'm not going to count up 40-50 times in my predictions for the standings alone.
{ 10. RENEGADES 4-14 }
{ 9. TEAM IMPULSE 5-13 }
{ 8. APEK GAMING 6-12 } I have APEK low in the standings for a number of reasons, A. Their jungler Eve was suspended due to Disciplinary Reasons and that will hurt any team's chemistry. B. Cris their top lane has been in the scene for a while now and yet hasn't improved enough to have anyone believe that he or APEK can be a good team I see COAST written on the walls and they will be COASTED by other teams. Players to watch will be Xpecial and Police. It will be interesting to see Xpecial play again in the lcs but it will be more interesting to see how much he might still mess up and get caught out similar to his TL days. He has been getting worse and worse in his career and I don't see it being much of a difference with a team like APEK. Xpecail's duo will be Police and very similar to fellow teammate Keane he plays safe but not too safe like former Xpecail former teammates COP. I do see some of COP's play style in POLICE ( NO PUN ). They also have SAINTVICIOUS as their coach so it will be interesting how his past playstyle affects the team in theirs. OVERALL APEK GAMING will be a fun team to watch but expect sloppy games from them as the biggest issue as a team is warding and getting caught out too far in lane and dying.
{ 7. CLOUD 9 8-10 } Yeah I have C9 at 7th so what they have been getting worse and worse since they first entered the LCS scene and not to mention the original roster has been getting replaced with meh players. Top lane Balls will be replaced by Impact which is fine if this was 3 years ago Impact fits perfect with C9 as he too has been getting worse and worse since joining the NA scene. Meteos will be back which helps out being that it would have only been sneaky the only remaining Original C9 member. I see Meteos and Sneaky having fun this split and not too worried to win games too hard. ( I mean they will TRY to win and HOPE that they will but expect alot of solo Q play from both of them ) OVERALL CLOUD 9 will most likely have the most kills and deaths among the other NA teams as the communication and shot calling will be a factor in their games. Meteos will be a player to watch as he seems to have become a leader but has never been a good shot caller ( reason why he left C9 after Hai retired ) METEOS'S stats for next year 56-66-232-5292 It would not be the same if I just had Meteo's stats without his BFF SNEAKY'S stats 116-80-168-8399.
I end this post with C9 as I was getting all
eyed just writing it.
Thank you and have a Good One !
Part 2 tomorrow or when ever I can get back to it
