Pretty hyped for the first competitive league in a month, my picks below.

1. OG (Fully intact Worlds semifinalists.)
2. LGD (Yeah they didn't make it out of groups, but OG/KT were tough.)
3. JAG (A good Korean team, even with the loss of their star mid, the team should have the organization to still be great.)
4. TSM (Whole new roster of elite players built around Bjergsen.)
5. CLG (Kicked their starting mid and adc from Worlds where they weren't great.)
6. Unicorns of Love (A bunch of non-elite players.)

I liked Locodoco's preview video:

CLG gets a great draw, drawing the only opponent I think they can beat in the first round, but ultimately I predict OG > JAG in the finals with LGD > TSM. If TSM can pull together as a team and beat a loaded LGD roster that's played together for a year it's definitely a great sign for the year ahead. Not seeing it happen of course, LGD might have better players at every position.

I take JAG over OG anytime at even odds. Still super overrated and they still got an awful toplaner.
Excited for TSM, they didn't have much preparation but I think they could take the tourney.

Problem with UOL is that they have no infrastructure whatsoever, they got a weird coach/manager, who is awful at both. The roster itself is pretty decent.

Anivia is just really good against that teamcomp especially when the majority of the team is much better build vs Jinx and focusing her. Also DL plays super aggressive and made some stuff happen like getting the mid inhib, you obv risk on getting caught out by Kassadin etc.

Sven needs a playmaking champ, him on Gragas is boring.

Team CLG plays for DL and nerfs the rest. Works great as long as DL doesnt throw...

Was it good though? Looked sloppy, just lucky LGD was bad also.

TSM looked better than LGD but LGD looked like **** so cant really judge where TSM is at.

LGD didn't look good, but well that exact roster was still at worlds. Considering TSM has been playing together for less than a week, it was pretty good, I'd say.

Already said it earlier, I think TSM can take the tourney. Apparently JAG isn't playing with Chaser, so they are probably mediocre now. Excited to see that TSM line up vs other teams.
