nah Rox is totally great. For w.e reason they remind me a lot of Epik Gamer.

pickemgenius · Sat Sep 10, 2016 10:08 am

splyce sux. thats a 3 man race that tsm should be in control of though.

all the groups are interesting.

tsm beat skt in the leaked scrim set and all the games they lost were close, but skt always kicks up to like 29/10 during worlds so bleh.

Group A feels boring since its just a battle for that 2 seed. Incoming region>region spam should one team sweep the other.

B- Thisll be the most fun group for me. Realistically any team can advance tho I expect IMay to struggle the most.

C- This feels like the most boring group for me? idk. I guess the battle for second seemsgood, but H2K feels really solid for the spot imo.

picks-
A:ROX/G2
B:SKT/C9
C: EDG/H2K
D: TSM/SSG

fw tough group
ahq not consistent

fw could defo make it out though. i just let homerism take over slightly.

I mean the 76ers would just draft 4 ADCs in a row and 'stash' them.

Or just run a team with 5 ADCs.

pickemgenius · Thu Sep 29, 2016 4:50 pm

so Intz just uh.

BLEW EDG UP.

LIKE. whaaaaaat?

They even had the sloppy bits you see from massive underdogs up against huge favorites but uhh... that didnt matter. They just came back stronger and sharper after each minor slip up.

wow.

That was great.

pickemgenius · Thu Sep 29, 2016 7:48 pm

we the cubs now?

hopefully that team of 7 can win me da big monies.

1 in 4 chance to win $1250 so lets giver a go ya?

pickemgenius · Thu Oct 06, 2016 1:57 pm

i have no idea why I would believe that CLG would have their shit together coming into week 2.

what the fuck was that draft?

ya see this woudlve made a ton of sense.

clg just needs to beat rox i guess?

pickemgenius · Thu Oct 06, 2016 4:34 pm

i honestly cant believe im going to lose thousands of dollars because teams legitimately forget how to play league of legends against fucking albus nox luna.

k.

In post 6916, zoraster wrote:you bet thousands? yikes

tbf im in for $1 in this tournament. i dont have actually have $$$, so pretty much getting in for $1 was about the limit I could've afforded to satellite into it.

top prize was 15k+worlds final trip top 10 pay. 10th pays $1250(40 person tournament, tbf this tournament structure is pretty ass). I need AHQ to really shit the bed tomorrow to even sniff that.

pickemgenius · Fri Oct 07, 2016 6:23 pm

i uh

ended up winning $1500 in that contest.

im still semi pissed at clg and rox yesterday for costing me a lot more but uh...

yeah idk. thats pretty good for $1 investment.

also super stoked that h2k came to play today.

hopefully tsm can show up and perform up to their standards today :O

pickemgenius · Sat Oct 08, 2016 7:18 am

i mean russia is eu in soccer which i also happen to find weird as well.

pickemgenius · Sat Oct 08, 2016 2:47 pm

im not particularly sure what the thought process was for tsm today.

huh.

pickemgenius · Sun Oct 09, 2016 4:12 pm

so the left side of the bracket is FUCKING STACKED

ziggs was el botto last lck night; also taliyah is seeing a general uptick again(and was also played in LCK last night)

pickemgenius · Sun May 14, 2017 8:13 pm

both g2 and tsm are fucking jokes of teams though.

I legitimately think neither has any idea how to play the game league of legends at an acceptable level(internationally)

pickemgenius · Tue May 30, 2017 9:10 am

time should be good

pickemgenius · Fri Jun 02, 2017 9:33 am

more eyeballs=more money.

more people vested in a brand is better for everyone. even if it is just for memes.

pickemgenius · Mon Aug 07, 2017 10:53 am

championship

pickemgenius · Sun Aug 20, 2017 7:03 pm

Snake gonna win lpl playoffs and go to worlds. Most entertaining and infuriating team of all time. Flandre best top laner.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Also if you pick Kalista and dont focus dragon/harold/baron then what the fuck are you picking kalista for?

#kalistastillsucks2017.

fuck me fam.

kt vs skt was insane series.

g2 is incredibly inconsistent but at least they beat the shitters that are splyce. holy shit if splyce makes worlds again idfk.

also TSM.

pickemgenius · Fri Sep 22, 2017 6:34 pm

i actually meant to say 20 minutes but lets gooo lyon either way.

pickemgenius · Fri Sep 22, 2017 8:28 pm

c9 comfortable victory feelsgood.

glad their group is full of shitters. lets gooo.

time for the main event of group a yeeeeeeeeeeea.

yeah poor arribaland doing weird dumb things.

hmm

pickemgenius · Sun Sep 24, 2017 6:08 pm

Time for Rampage to 2-0 today lets goooo.

pickemgenius · Tue Sep 26, 2017 8:05 am

time for my arribaland bros to take down c9 lets goooo

pickemgenius · Wed Sep 27, 2017 3:48 pm

agree with all of those sans WE.

we gonna take it 3-0

pickemgenius · Wed Sep 27, 2017 7:35 pm

rip arribros.

hard to see their decision making let them down game 2, but still excited to see c9 get throttled in groups cause uh.... NA already slotted in the two easier groups. good luck buds.

pickemgenius · Thu Sep 28, 2017 2:29 pm

if i were c9 id completely rather be in group c than in a.

idunno.

from a spectator pov it makes every game in group c like really fucking good. i just think c is a more open group than a.

c9 has better cumulative chances of taking 3-4 games against that group than they do of taking 1-2 from skt/edg presuming they would 2-0 ahq which I feel like I need to think they would to believe in group c being better for them.

since last nights games were both 3-0s tonights games.... are probably gonna be 3-0s as well.

pickemgenius · Thu Sep 28, 2017 6:32 pm

zito seems to be channeling his inner brazil

surprisingly these last two games have been/are pretty close, tho with that baron from one just now they might do the same thing they did in game two and snowball confidently.

pickemgenius · Fri Sep 29, 2017 8:14 am

if tsm cant take 2 of 4 against fw/we or they cant go 2-0 against misfits then fuck everything.

i would love to see tsm/msf come out of group d though. that be great.

pickemgenius · Fri Sep 29, 2017 2:38 pm

i feel good about a and thats about it.

also this is last chance for na to do well at worlds cause nalcs goin back to BO1s and 18 games for an entire season.

dumb.

pickemgenius · Fri Sep 29, 2017 4:23 pm

for some viewers yeah great.

good work. one stream. one game.

for developing a region though.

like we come in.

franchising is a thing.

we go back to bo1s.

its annoying from a competitive standpoint.

pickemgenius · Wed Oct 04, 2017 8:16 pm

my meme prediction is group c has a 3 way tie at the top between everyone sans fenerbahce.

pickemgenius · Thu Oct 05, 2017 9:23 pm

whew lads.

I've enjoyed this worlds as a whole quite a bit more than the last few.

While its definitely not perfect, the fact that there were no MASSIVE GAMEPLAY CHANGES TWO WEEKS BEFORE WORLDS STARTED.... really seems to have let teams work out a lot of things.

It's not perfect, but it's better.

Ew, that's gross.

3-9 could be managed by going to bed early; 12-6 is almost impossible.

more like YEE BOI I can stay awake for all that shit instead of sleeping through 2-3 of them

thanks based rito for being so accommodating.

I dunno how the OWL succeeds.

No metrics I've seen to back up the investment.

The eyeballs aren't there, there hasnt been any reason to think they'll be there.

The action is difficult to follow by and large(tbf its gotten better throughout, but I'm not sure if it'll ever get 'good' enough)

pickemgenius · Thu Oct 19, 2017 10:50 pm

that group would be a disaster(in a fun way for sure) rofl.

also last year na wasnt a 1 seed also.

man thinking about echo fox where they have smoothie instead of feng is scary.

also lpl/lck regional finals soon yee boi hype. get my dudes doinb and flawless to worlds lets go.

ofc everything might go to script and we get edg/gen g/g2/tsm winning their regionals.
