NA PLAYOFF PREDICTION TIME!!!!

Quarter-Finals

(3) TSM vs

(6) CLG

0-2 -- CLG has had TSM's number all season long, and the recent argument between Dyrus and Regi makes me question TSM's team dynamic

(4)CRS

vs (5) DIG 2-1 -- Close one, but DIG has not impressed me at all this season, while CRS has started to gel.

Fifth Place Match

(3) TSM

vs (5) DIG 2-1 -- The games between these two teams have been throw-tacular, and I don't expect anything different from this set. At the end of the day I think TSM is just the better team, but they could completely implode thanks to Regi.

Semi-Finals

(1) C9

vs CRS 2-0 -- C9 is C9, what else is there to say? They have not lost to CRS this season, and I see nothing that would change that.

(2) VUL

vs CLG 2-0 -- While CLG has given VUL some trouble in the past, VUL has proven to be a very strong team with their recent performances.

Third Place Match

(4) CRS vs

(6) CLG

1-2 -- Both these teams have improved over the season, but I have faith that MonteCristo will whip CLG into shape just in time. I guess CRS will be the 4th place team yet again.

Finals

(1) C9

vs (2) VUL 3-2 -- Some may think that C9 will run away with the title, but if you look at the history between VUL and C9, you'll see that VUL has given C9 more trouble than any other team. In fact, VUL would have a winning record against C9 if they had closed out that one game they should have won. Having said that, I think C9 is the more consistent team and will pull it out in the clutch, but I think it will be a closer series than many would project.

[yessiree]

they will all get beaten by korean teams sooner or later anyways =(

as much as I would like NA to win the cup, I don't see that happening

[BROseidon]

C9 is the only NA team with a shot at keeping up with the Koreans.

But even that is probably a stretch. There are a lot of systemic issues with how NA/EU teams approach the game that will continue to prevent them from keeping even with the Koreans.

[KageLord]

Those match my predictions except that I have C9 beating Vulcan 3-1 in the final.

Well, I am a lil' bit of a Vulcun fanboy.

[JDodge]

vulcun will probably beat c9

[Bub Bidderskins]

vulcun will probably beat c9

I hope they will, but C9 looks really good.

[mykonian]

in the second game of clg-tsm now and I wasn't really up to date with NA LCS. This is painful to watch at times

[KageLord]

Damn it CLG, why you gotta lose to FreeSM? I don't like CLG, but I dislike TSM.

C9 won that game with authority. At that moment they proved that they deserve to represent NA at worlds. Also, fuck TSM for screwing up my prediction, but whatever, they came together when they needed (like usual). I'm betting that Vulcun beats Dig in the 3rd place game and makes it, although I'm worse than 50/50 so far at predicting the NA playoffs, so I'm not sure if that means much.
