I'm loving the contrast between the games where GAM pulls out some stupid cheese strat, the games where Faker strongarms Kkoma into letting him get style points on Fizz, the games where PowerOfEvil gives the Chinese audience a headache with his Nashor's Orianna, and the games where TSM plays the exact same comp they've successfully won every game with this year without any P/B contest.

20 minutes until the talking heads, so here's tonight's hot takes:

> TSM over WE in a brutal 55 minute slugfest
> Flash Wolves style all over Misfits with some dumb bullshit
> Fenerboche probably wins idk
> RNG manages to narrowly beat SSG after getting an early lead and then squandering it with a bad teamfght.
> skt1wins.lol
> C9 manage to get a win off a death-spiraling EDG.


I'm not really feeling any of those predictions specifically but that's because baseball already wore me the gently caress out today so you get lazy versions.

This was actually a closer prediction than I expected to get, with the exception of TSM closing against WE quicker than I thought and believing too hard in Flash Wolves these were pretty close to the mark.

TSM/WE: Sven's positioning is terrible and hesitant and it's so easily readable even to someone who isn't a pro. I'm not sure if TSM is just making him take insane scouting risks for their information/edification but his ability to get out of those situations is transparently bad. TSM still looked solid in this one and got great picks in all the major team fights.

FW/MSF: Well well well. Protect the Kog'Maw is a better strategy than whatever it was that FW were trying to do with that poo poo.

G2/FB: Let's get a quick take on what Crash and the Boys think about this one -

SSG/RNG: Holy gently caress they smashed. Uzi was a monster. :wow:

SKT/AHQ: Typical SKT win. Composed. Lot of mistakes from their opponent, and they eventually capitalized on them.

C9/EDG: Is Scout just gonna play Lucian all tournament? Why? EDG's drafts have been poo poo and they deserved to get put down hard in Week 1. I'm giving the #1 China seed over to RNG, I don't care what happened in Game 5 of the regionals. EDG is poo poo.

As I said during regional finals, Sven's still looking really shaky, something that's being covered up by the fact that absolutely no team on planet Earth wants to contest his Gragas pick for whatever reason. Take his ability to follow up on Biofrost's plays away and they're going to run into problems.

FW/MSF, G2/FB, and SSG/RNG were all one-sided stomps where one team literally did not get a single kill. The rest were all right if you prefer any of those teams check them out.

So week 2 is going to feature the top 2 teams advancing, right? It’s not another cyle pf best of ones. I guess i’m a little confused about how EDG remain in the tournament at this point.

No one is eliminated until the end of week 2 but EDG would have to go 3-0 in week 2 and need some caveats or a tiebreaker to advance probably. Starting 0-3 in a six game "season" is pretty hard to climb out of.

Yeah, making 2nd for them now means going at least 2-1 in week 2, which means beating both C9 and AHQ (or SKT but let's be realistic here). They can probably beat AHQ if they don't draft like loving idiots again, but C9 have been on such a god drat tear I don't know that I'd put money on EDG in that match any more.
