Don't Worry TSM Fans

SKT can bleed. EDG/RNG look shaky, and those were the "strong" LPL teams. Flash Wolves I seriously don't think are that good. C9 improved over the first week. I know they can do this. Just as much as I believed H2K and SSG were making out of groups, where many put them in 3rd place.

Flash wolves looked like the 2nd best team in the group. They had dominant play in all 3 of their games but fell short at the finish line in two. I'm just not solely convinced by C9 having a good game against the weakest team in the group even despite the improvement they showed. Now, I would say I hope they prove me wrong, but since I'm out of hope, they better damn well prove me wrong. If the teams I believed in failed, maybe the team I don't believe in will succeed.

Honestly 2 years in a row for LPL region now, they always look strong before worlds and they get stomped. Sure one team got through this year, but I still think RNG got a bit lucky.

You believed in h2k? I didn't honestly but I loved the attitude and mental strength they showed this week, damn did they surprise Me, I was surprised tsm didn't make it out tbh as well but C9 I was hoping to see progress and believe they can

Really? They where my most hopeful, TSM I'm sorry but is always over rated and hyped, nowni love Reginald and what he's built in TSM is absolutely fantastic but I think bjerg needs to go or atleast needs a mid lane sub and I think Sven needs to go.

Biofrost and hauntzer are getting better every game, doublelift I love this guy and hate him at the same time his mechanics are second to none doesn't always translate though unfortunately.

I want to see bjerg removed or subbed out with someone more versatile I just think bjerg has one speed "stomp or get stomped" replace Sven with someone promising and aggressive like daddoch or reignover although dsddoch has already been picked up for spring split.

CLG - why would you have hope? They've looked torrid since msi where they where unveleibably good.

C9 - improved lots, adapt better than both teams and play macro games very well, as well as being fantastic best of 5s, I honestly think if they make it out of groups they will reach semis

CLG is my favorite team from NA, which is why I had a little hope. I knew they'd lose to ANX once, but I didn't expect them to lose twice. I thought the only team that would 2-0 them was Rox. I expected it to come to a tiebreaker between them and G2.

TSM actually looked good this year imo. I've been watching since 2014, and honestly every year TSM went into worlds, they didn't look good to me, even back in 2014 where they did manage to escape groups and were the first seed for na, they didn't look like the strongest team in NA. Even when they won IEM in 2015, they didn't look strong to me. This was actually the first time they were extremely dominant, no one could deny they were the most skilled team from NA. It didn't look like just them riding on the back of bjergsen like it did it previous years. They actually looked solid as a team for once. This was the first and only time I actually bought into the hype, because there was actually some substance behind it, but alas disappointment.

Cloud 9 had improvement in one game though. They got rolled over by SKT and Flash Wolves up until about the 60 minute mark. They did look really good against Imay, but that was the team most people expected to place 4th in the group.
