Why are people overhyping DWG that much? Lol. Their team just had an easy group.
Their bot lane is really bad. They are rellying on nuguri canyon and showmaker 3v5ing and thats not gonna work vs G2. Especially if Jankos gets his shit together and stops inting every game.
Also, G2 have always been a Bo5 team and not a Bo1 team.

The same could be said about g2's group. C9 showed up as clown 9 and hka was a joke. The only real threat was griffin who got 2 back to back victorys on g2. We havnt actually seen anything from g2 yet that would cement them as a champion- imo when they get to quarters Skt are going to smash them
I agree odds would be in SKT's favour in semis not 80%-20% by any means but 60%-40% seems like a correct amount (if they played 10 games skt wins 6 is how I view those teams). And I don't see SKT winning that 3-0.
But DWG is miles weaker than SKT and their group was more or less a fiesta where everyone beat everyone (except poor AHQ) with very sloppy games. TL were 1-1 vs DWG for example, and TL have a terrible time drafting because of all the shit their team can't play.
DWG for example has to ban A LOT of shit vs G2 that they didn't even have to worry about vs TL, like yasuo syndra(flex) qiyanna(flex although jankos seemed terrible on it for some reason)
In fairness to DWG they looked really bad and a bit lost in the 1st half of groups, but looked a lot cleaner and more focused in the last half. If they look like they did on the last day for their group and Jankos hasn't cleaned up his play It's hard to see G2 winning, but if jankos plays to the level he should its gonna be a banger of a series.
People are undervaluing DWG so much now it's disgusting. Easy group? IG? Say what you want about TL but TL imo is better than Splyce, worse than Fnatic. DWG topped their group with 2 wins against IG and their topside. Also, I fucking HATE the narrative that DWG's botlane is awful. Do you honestly think DWG wins every game 3v5? Did you even WATCH the 2nd week of groups? Or any LCK games? DWG's bot held their own against Deft/Tusin Ruler/Life and played basically weakside every game until group stage, and yet they go even in CS at 15. BerYL's Alistar is probably the best in the world and he's terrific with other engage supports like Nautilus, Leona, Gragas and Poppy. Nuclear is NOT a Kai'sa one trick and can play Yasuo, Xayah and Ezreal at a high level.
G2 has their own fair share of weaknesses, it's not crazy to think Damwon has a shot against G2. These are people's individual predictions, just because he picked Damwon to win over G2 does NOT mean he's "overhyping" Damwon. Jankos Wunder and Miky have all played terribly and if they don't step up or if Caps/Perkz start to have dips in their performance DWG can most certainly beat G2.
Stop acting like DWG beating G2 is like Splyce beating SKT. There's a definite shot of it happening, it's not like G2 are some unfallible giants.
I never said it's the same as SKT beating splyce. I think G2 vs DWG is like 55% chance for G2 to win by the showing the teams have had so far, and maybe 65% chance for G2 if their bad players stop underperforming.
Nuclear is a weak ass adc you aren't convincing me otherwise. Especially compared to perkz atm.
And their group ON PAPER was the weakest group. IG and DWG both 3rd seeds, no EU team and an NA team that can't flex almost any champion in a Flex defined meta. I don't think DWG is comparable to Griffin or SKT in terms of strength.
Excuse me? WEAKEST group? Maybe 2nd weakest but holy shit you must be delusional if you thought group B was stronger, even on paper. #1 china is strong on paper, yes, but #1 LMS and #1 VCS are nowhere NEAR the level of KR, CN, or EU, which is why people believe Splyce got a free pass to quarters (yes, even after week 1).
Nuclear is NOT a weak ass adc. You're blind. He's a mid-tier LCK adc and one of the better ones that play weakside (as opposed to Uzi who plays strongside all the time). Perkz is having a great tournament but if Nuclear can hold his own vs Doublelift, Jackeylove (and Deft and Ruler) then he can certainly hold his own vs Perkz.
Oh yeah group B was easier as a whole to get to quarters no doubt. But on paper group D was easier for DWG to get 1st place. Because again ON PAPER FPX >>IG. So yeah If a team aimed to get 0 defeats then group D was a pretty solid group for that.
Also, doublelift is not really a top tier adc, sure he was upgraded cause of corejj.
Compared to teddy and viper I would say Nuclear is at least a class bellow both.

I don't know man. IG has more experience in BO5ś it seems. Keep in mind last year they were grouped with Fnatic and lost to them in the BO1 s. But they met again in the finals and Fnatic got destroyed. Griffin looked really strong in groups but I still feel like theyll find some way to choke.
i put griffin over ig and g2 over damwon.
http://pickem.lolesports.com/share/series/6/user/3693540/my-picks i have griffin over ig and g2 over damwon that might change tho
Literally the same
Xerxe and Splyce will make Faker kneel at their feet.
' There will be no glory in your sacrifice. I will erase even the memory of Korea from the histories. Every piece of Korean parchment shall be burned, and every Korean historian and every scribe shall have their eyes put out and their tongues cut from their mouths! Why, uttering the very name of Korea or Faker will be punishable by death! The world will never know you existed at all!'
I went for G2 vs FNC final just so that G2 can 3-2 reverse sweep FNC again and see how much salt Rekkless' pretty eyes can create.
(I would have picked differently if I had 64pts in groups and had a chance for the ultimate skins)
Just thought fk it, GO EU.
Fnatic vs Skt for the final and Fnatic win, just cuz I think they doin pretty spicy this season
mfw people say spylce even has a chance to beat skt
Well, better chance than TL CG and C9 at least..
I have Griffin winning it vs SKT in the finals.
G2 gone win
I'm not being serious with my pick'ems. If it turns out they are correct it's gonna be hype af, but I don't suspect it will turn out that way.

Quarterfinals: Griffin because I don't really care about the match. FNC because I'm a FNC fan. Splyce for the meme and Damwon because I hate G2. Semifinals: FNC because I'm a fan, Splyce for the meme again.
I'm doing it for fun, not because I'm actively trying to get it right.
yeah see here this is what we call the darkest timeline
