I do want to highlight the correct predictions for Worlds, as I think we will all see the championship kept here on the European continent as foreign teams are deleted and decimated.



I would have picked Cloud 9 to advance to the playoff stage due to their European midlaner, but unfortunately they will have to play matches in their group on Riot-sanctioned LAN without the Incarnation DDOS advantage.

Pain Gaming is able to effortlessly crush the weak European-free Group A off the strength of French support player Dioud.

Playoffs:

Quarterfinals:
Fnatic beats CLG
SKT loses to TSM (Bjergsen > Faker)
Origen beats AHQ
Pain loses to H2K
Europeans dominate the opening round like we know they will, completely crushing other regions. Fortunately TSM has a European midlaner and jungler who can carry them to the second round.

Semifinals:
Fnatic beats TSM
Origen beats H2K
Fnatic has 3 Europeans and TSM only has 2, GG.

Finals:
Fnatic beats Origen
In a thrilling replay of the EU LCS finals that goes five incredible European games.

With all the LPL teams choking out of the group stage, most analysts attribute the Paris site location selection for groups and S0AZ's dedicated distribution of French baguettes en masse to all competing teams to have been the downfall of the Chinese region.

With their players so used to fighting early and getting fed off of crisp team fight victories, in this case they got enormously fed before the match off of perfectly finished and crisp French bread.

The quantity of their consumption was such that they were barely able to stay awake throughout the duration of the competition, occasionally lapsing into a bread-related comas as their stomachs expanded beyond a capacity that they could handle.

I like that they have these guys sweating outdoors with the sun in their eyes for absolutely no reason.

It reminds me OGN Summer 2014 Busan Beach finals or the time every single person in the EU LCS got viciously sunburned in Tenerife.

I have them third, because I feel like Flash Wolves, pain, and CLG are all just going to take games off each other and it ending with flash wolves in second

Yeah I will not be surprised at all if FW gets 2nd. I kept flipping them and CLG in my picks, but eventually went with CLG. Flash Wovles are good and LMS teams in general are pretty decent, I think.

LDG will likely go easy on TSM. So he might also get to play against Flame.

Playing against flame would definitely be a great way to cause dyrus to curl into a ball. I miss the pre-tp days of flame dominating.

...the game into his team's favor with his overwhelming map presence with the best teleports in the world, deadly 1v1 carry potential, and sheer intimidation potential of being able to play any match-up, no matter how hard the counter, act and pretend to look weak by appearing to frown, cry, and act exasperated all game -- just to make his opponents think he is weak before dropping the pentakill. He's ze best. *eats baguette*
