Day 1 match ups

Elements vs Fnatic
Giants vs MYM
CW vs H2K
Sk vs Roccat
Gambit vs UoL

Pumped , excited to see if Gambit is legit !

Its gonna be interesting to follow Elements and see if Rekkles can take some burden of Froggens shoulders. If he manages to do that and Froggen feels that everything doesnt revolve through him carrying then Shook can grow aswell since he gets a midlane to gank.

Wickd is still the main issue in the team but in EU hes gonna be fine since with another threat in Rekkles teams cant just throw away a ban on Irelia in every game. Especially now in the beginning where Rek´sai is an auto ban and Kassadin is getting back to his 100% pick ban phase.

Wickd isn't really huge issue atm since most top laners in EU are really bad compared to the rest of the world.

There is fredy... and... ... ... Vizicsacsi? Cabochard? Overpow?

I think this year wickd could be a problem , Cabochard looked good vs zion at IEM , Overpow has some interesting picks that could be a problem , and well the vizi is vizi poppy bitches . I still think elements tops the list of EU but I think it could be a lot more interesting parity wise this year . HYPED !

As said in EU hes not really gonna be a problem. Its only when they get matched up with teams that can compete with Froggen and Rekkles that it will really show how subpar he really is.

Oh. I guess I should spend more time reading what other people write

Seems like Elements > Roccat = SK > the rest. Gambit, MYM, Fnatic, Unicorns can all be on par with Roccat/SK.

MYM doesnt have selfie and seem to have some internal issues , I think they will be trash this split . Gambit is who I hope is the surpise , hope they hold form to IEM . Fnatic and unicorns are both wildcards that could mess up the standings quite a bit with their new lineups to EU lcs . Roccat and Sk seem to be the solid 2 and 3 behind elements tho I agree .

If S.K can come close to what they did at the end of last season before their Worlds trouble began, i do believe they can cause Elements huge problems and i wouldnt be surprised if they actually won the split now that they have a really good ADC.

Roccat looks really really good if all goes as planned but i suspect that it wont in many games due to their snowball oriented carries in Jankos and Nukeduck.

Besides Fnatic and their unknown factor i dont see any other team challenging the top 3. Gambit created some hype at IEM but that was more due to their opponents being bad than them playing well and the rest of the EU teams are just fodder.

EU LCS should be interesting, only problem is the casters are going to cause serious cancer.

No Joe Miller right ? That is gonna be sad

ELEMENTS VS FANATIC TO START GET HYPE 3 MINS LETS GO !

Elements will dominate this split.

Protect the Rekkles comp incoming

Shocking Irelia pick...

kappa


oh wickd did such amazing job of protecting rekkles in that dragon fight, just engage 1v2 being 1/6 then run away past rekkles after getting chunked leaving him for dead

idk this alliance comp seems ****ing terrible, they have like 0 hard cc except for irelia stun which is situational and nyph tornado which is sooooo unreliable. j4 sure but both him and irelia need to get into melee range to get it down. compare that to xerath e, annie, rengar, lissandra

Agreed

This comp has little cc, no tankiness and very little damage.

wow

wickd is bad lol , stop putting froggen on lulu , reignover is scary , and OMG febivan !

fnatic looking great

Yeah that team comp looks so bad. I really wonder what made them go for it. I really hope this is the last split for Wickd, he didn't really even shake hands with fnatic unlike the others.

They did this alot at the start of last season aswell. Its like they gimp themselves on purpose to get a challenge. No other explanation makes sense.

Nah it`s typical ALL either super strong team that crushes koreans or lol so bad they lose vs brazilian teams.
