Leblanc and Lissandra are just OP in the hands of GE Tigers' much better solo laners. I think C9 looking back should have prioritized those two champions in pick and ban given they can't play those champions. At least Rek'Sai and Janna they have the option of playing.

It's pretty crazy how far behind the best NA mid laners are. Hai is a top 5 mid laner from NA (Not including Bjerg or XWX here.) and his champion pool is so suspect.

YFW really not making the Rengar work in that SK game. They really needed their side lanes to bully a bit and survive Rek'sai the first six levels, but the lane swap made that impossible.

SK vs GET is going to be kinda interesting since i think SK would beat C9 too (just not GET style)

i do think SK has a chance vs GET but the clear favorite is GET

I think C9 had a better chance vs GET than SK. SK is just far too weak strategically and in the vision game. They win by dominating the early game and snowballing, but GET are too good to get so far behind, and SK are too bad to be able to extend their lead past the mid game and they'll just slowly lose ground back after 20 minutes.

C9 was drawing almost dead, but at least in the rare circumstances where they're ahead at 20 minutes they might have been able to strangle out GET. SK just hasn't shown any ability to do that.

the bottom lane of GET looked a bit weak vs c9 but that was probably because there was no focus on the botlane and jarvan was around.

i think forgiven is a really good ADC who can punish a misplay from bot lane

i think SK has a bigger chance than c9

I don't understand the Zed and LB ban, thought Fox would be happy to get either after they ban out Forgiven.

GE Tigers are the best team in the world right now, they are going to crush most teams, and aren't going to be challenged in this tournament. I'd be very surprised if they lose a game.

Shame EDG/SS from China aren't here it'd be fun to watch them vs GE

yeah but he's greedy and stays too long in lanes when its not safe

Pray's Corki just is on a different level, only Deft seems to have a similar one most ppl just suck with him

Pray throws down the equalizer in the 4v5. That Doubleliftuuu.

Don't know how good/bad YFW are, but if SK vs C9 comes in, I think we'll see a much more conservative early game from C9 and I think they'll pull out the win.

Koreans just go into disrespect mode so easily

that Maokai TP is just for lols to see if they could 2v5 and Corki W forward because why not see if you can kill Freddy

Might sound stupid, but the pick/ban was really weird, picking Diana into Maokai/Janna/Viktor and banning Zed/LB just can`t be good.

My thoughts are that it was a Metagame/Mindgame, like SK expects to lose this game but shows the other teams like "hey guys look we don't care about Zed/LB", to get it in a game where they have to win. Like against C9.

lol, it's pretty obvious they're just mashing buttons strategically.

Wow Pray is a giant, who knew.
