I've actually never trusted CLG, always switching players etc but their actual roster seems to be working well so imo they "have a chance", they can beat Impulse by doing some better decisions/fights etc (i agree about the Zionspartan thing etc). Again, Gravity has done better than TSM recently. I can hardly see TSM winning (that would only show their lack of consistency), and "fairly new team" doing well isn't really something new in league, random world champion every years zzz.EneT wrote:

"Dude, CLG went to bootcamp in KOREA, that's like the fucking hyperbolic time chamber from Dragonball. When they come back for play-offs they'll absolutely wreck everyone."
Oh wait a minute, they just got 3-0'd by Curse...
It's best not to have high expectations of CLG, they've been 3-0'd in every single play-offs ever since.
And despite TSM not doing so well recently you forget that out of all the teams in NA they have the most experience internationally and in BO5s compared to Gravity who are still fairly new. They'll most likely win vs Gravity but the TSM vs TL matchup can go either way.
In the other side of the Bracket, I have the lowest expectations for CLG since they always seem to disappoint me and their other fans. Impulse is very hit or miss though so CLG may have an opportunity but it's doubtful; Zionspartan who in my opinion is one of the main staple members for CLG gets outclassed by Impact and the same goes for Xmithie with Rush. Impulse's bot lane is consistent enough to handle Dlift and Aphro but overall, the set can got either way.
For EU there's no doubt in my mind that Fnatic is going to get first; no need to predict that.
I don't have any expectations for NA teams this year, as you said any matchup could go "either way".
NA results are too random compared to other regions so im just guessing what could happens.
edit : yo wtf CLG had fans ? lmao
