I haven't really followed the Challenger Series much this season as I took a lot of time off with Overwatch coming out, there's a lot of big names still around though that I recognize.
Right now Gold Coin is Leading 1-0 over eUnited

BO3 or BO5 ?
B05, I believe.
III BAKURYU III 2 votesAh, Thank you. Only saw GCU up 1-0 haven't watched any other games but I think GCU has it in 4. If GCU does make it into LCS they need to clean up their plays as it's all over the place and it's not what I thought would be from Fenix/Santorin and Madlife... especially from Madlife.
Lil Lewd Witch2 votesRight? I did watch a little of the semi-finals and MadLife had me scratching my head a lot, but Santorin, Fenix, and Mash are all fairly solid players with their past LCS experience. So I think that'll pay off a lot for getting in, as far as how they will do in the LCS, that will be interesting.
III BAKURYU III 1 votesThe thing that scares me is while they do have exp under their belts, I'm not a fan of Mash. He's too much of a farmer for me to really get on board with his style; Mash/Altec reminds me of the same person. They farm and are really bad teamfighting players I may be wrong about this but I'v seen Mash/Altec since 2013/14 and it really hasn't changed much with Altec on FQ and I can't say much about Mash since I haven't watched him in the CS.
Miror B2 votesThe big problem with EUN all year has me thinking that they'll be a lot like TLA from last year: although they have a few top-tier players (let's not forget that goldenglue basically dominated every game without Hai in it), Mid/JG basically have to carry every game for them in order for them to stand a chance. GCU can theoretically carry off 2.5 players, so I trust them more in this series.
GeminiRune1 votesBefore tonight, my money was on GCU and it shall remain on GCU. We're 2-1 in and so far both teams have shown me something impressive (one more than the other).
The question I have though is how much can they pick up off of the next two weeks looking ahead at the bottom 4/5 in the LCS for promotion. Doing the proper analysis while those teams are fighting hard to stay out of relegation might serve as their advantage given how inconsistent or low table consistent (NV's case with inability to act beyond 20-30 min frequently) those lower table teams are being presently.
