NALCS Interesting games tonight and all weekend.

IMt vs NV. An Immortals win means IMT can do no worse than 2nd seed and CLG cannot get the first Seed. It would also mean NV is locked in 6th.
CLG loses a two way tie with imt, loses a two way tie with TSM (even if they beat them) and they also lose a three way tie with IMT and TSM.

An immortals loss means we don't get any of those things... yet.

CLG vs Dig. This one could get interesting. A CLG loss would take them currently out of the third spot as well because Dig would own the tiebreaker against them. Note that CLG loses a two way with IMt, loses a two way with TSM, loses a three way with IMT and TSM. In a three way tie between Dig, C9, and CLG would be decided by total games. A loss by CLG still keeps open this possibility (if imt also loses tonight)

Things could get really fun this weekend if all this happens.
IMT loses two. TSM loses Two Dig beats CLG and wins out. C-9 wins out.

HAHAHAHAHAH. One big cluster you know what. But that is unlikely.

Yeah tonight is a crucial day for playoff seeding. The only thing truly set in stone is that regardless of who TSM ties, they will hold that H2H off of game record. CLG would need either IMT or TSM to 0-2 while they 2-0 in order to even shed an opportunity at a playoff bye

I just hope any struggling NA teams or the top tier teams for NA improve to some degree during this last week/playoffs before Worlds to represent NA. Tired of losing as a region or not doing much of anything for that matter.

One game not mentioned in all of this is FLY vs P1, as that could realistically determine who plays in the promo tournament (assuming 7-10 lose all of their remaining games that is). Not sure if it's just me, but I'm kinda looking more forward to said promo tournament than the actual playoffs themselves. While there is more diversity among the teams (dig being a potential dark horse), seeing a potential GBM vs mickey matchup kinda takes priority as there's a realistic chance we could see both of them play in the LCS next year and have a series in which one guy looks like a top-3 LCS mid and the other look like complete garbage, assuming dandy doesn't just dumpster dd/inori/phil the mexican janitor TL thought would be "fun to play with".
