GGS vs TSM does GGS even have a chance?
The only hope I see for GGS winning is Hai. I was wondering is C9 beat TSM before while Hai was still there shot caller?

When Hai was on C9 during 2014-2016 C9 got the better of TSM in the early stages of their rivalry but the wins became less and less as the splits continued 2013 Summer - 2014 Spring C9 eliminated TSM in the Finals twice with an impressive 6-0 record but since 2014 Spring TSM has eliminated C9(2014 Summer Finals, 2015 Spring Finals, 2016 Spring Split) all with Hai. In short, I highly doubt GGS can beat TSM with TSM coming off what 5-6 impressive wins against the top 5 teams in NA at the right time, they're hot while GGS are just bad.
Hai is great and all but the dude sucks in lane plain and simple as always has and that's a big problem because it's not like Hai has a Meteos one of the highest KDA players in the LCS, or a Balls that can carry the early game with early ganks and kills with the help of Meteos or a very consistent ADC Sneaky to bail him out in the early game. Instead, Hai relies on 4 teammates that 2 are arguably CS caliber at best(Lourlo/Matt).
Think about it like this Golden Guardians are like the Lakers with Hai being(Kobe) during the time when he had Smush and Kwame as teammates and instead of shooting he passed constantly trying to help his teammates knowing they will most likely miss anyway. That's Hai and the GGS in a nutshell.
I'm expecting a TSM victory at around the 31 min mark with a 17-6 kills advantage for TSM and Hai being at around I would say 2 kills - 4 deaths and 2 assists at best.
The odds are not in GGS' favor at all, no... but never discount an upset. I mean, these last few weeks have been kind of weird as towards who's been beating who in most of the LoL Leagues and never discount the chance to play spoiler as motivation to overachieve.
No one has mentioned this yet, but the ggs vs tsm match is the first day on a new patch for competitive. An upset is absolutely possible.
I personally am hoping for tsm/clg to qualify, but it's much more likely to be tsm/tl.
