My first Worlds, I have no bias. ^^
Actually I could easily see NA win worlds this year depending on how this weeks groups go.
I could also see RNG or ANX taking home the cup.
Exciting year for worlds so far :D
Pretty much everyone.
If the first round robin of groups is any indicator, anything can happen. Nobody looks invincible. About the only thing I can say and be sure of is EU is unlikely to win it at this point.
A few people have pointed out that EU generally does badly week 1 but has a comeback week 2
Eu will most likely not make it out of groups this year but Eu typically starts off Cold but warms up as the Groups continue while NA starts off Hot but cools off in the second half.
To get out of groups stage, EU teams from group A and D must get a 4-0 (including a tie-breaker because they will need to go in one to have a chance to make it).
Group C could happen because it's only two teams at 2-1 and 2 teams with 1-2 (one of them being the EU team).
So while it's possible, it's highly unlikely that any EU teams will get out of group considering the only one that has a decent chance is H2K and they are in the same group as EDG and AHQ (and INTZ that doesn't look that bad).
We won't get out of groups this year.
Group stage is very unpredictable as far as who wins and loses, however when it comes to the playoff format the heavy favorites from the LCK normally show up as they have more of a mindset to figure out their opponents but who knows who will win the Championship.
