■ Picks and Bans



▷Didn't TSM lose to MSF last week? Even if they are able to beat FW, they really need to focus.

└ If they beat WE, they are almost guaranteed to advance.



▷FW will disqualify with a score of 0-4... will TSM fall 0-4 too?

└ If that happens, Reddit is going to be amazing. I will have to lurk in Reddit for a couple of days.

└ If TSM loses their next match, it'll be the proof of NA's continuing week 2 curse.

└ Let's go TSM! Before being drafted into the army, I really want to see TSM win.



▷I think WE will lose. Can't believe they picked Caitlyn...

└ In the LCK Summer Finals, PraY used Caitlyn and won. I wonder if WE will be successful with her.

└ I think LPL teams take a liking to midlane Jayce. Xiaohu used her, and now xiye too.





■ Match Begins



▷How is Caitlyn at 6 items? Haven't seen her after the nerfs.

└ Her attack speed is way too slow.

└ She got an attack speed buff on the live servers. She's pretty decent there.

└ Even after going 2 AS items, Caitlyn barely surpasses 1.0 AS.

└ She's good. If PraY plays her that is.

└└ I think she sucks... even if it's PraY.

└└ I think the Caitlyn in the current Worlds patch is weaker than the one that PraY played.

└└ If you fail to take advantages in the early game, she's weaker than Vayne.



▷That Jayce is scary... he's pretty accurate with his Shock Blasts.

└ Xiye is landing every single E+Q. Insane.

└ His accuracy is really scary.

└ From what we've seen, it's (Xiye = Xiaohu > Scout). It's hard to believe that Scout dominated LPL.



▷Will TSM really pull off another "NA"?

└ I have a feeling that TSM might be disqualified... I'm starting to see the "NA's 2nd week curse" coming in.

└ I'm starting to see the signs of TSM going 0-4... I have a feeling they relaxed too much. NA players tend to relax and slow down on practice when they start winning.

└ Let's have a bit more faith in TSM. They have great teamfighting.

└ TSM needs Sven's 200 IQ throws to win. TSM played around taking advantages by sacrificing Sven.

└└ TSM is in dire need for Sven's throws.



▷Caitlyn's siege is so scary. Such an old playstyle from an old meta, and it's being used effectively to this day in Season 7.

└ The truth is, it's NA's 2nd week.

└ WE's midlaner is freaking insane. How can he be so accurate?



▷Is Doublelift an inconsistent player? It's my first time watching every single game from Worlds, and I think Doublelift's performance is spiking up and down throughout the tournament.

└ Doublelift is just all about Tristana.

└ He's just doing Doublelift things. That's the Doublelift that we all know and love!



▷Two inhibitors in 20 minutes lol. They're getting destroyed.

└ Seeing this game, LZ's 20-minute victory must've been insanely fast...

└ Wow, what has become of EDG? China's #1 seed plays worse than the other two teams.



▷Why TSM is doing the TSM: During the 1st week, they're tense and practicing extremely hard. During the 2nd week, they release the tension and party.

└ TSM: "Strong teams can make a comeback despite being down 10k gold? Let's try that for ourselves..."

└└ Nope.





■ Match Ends



▷Three years in a row, TSM was placed in Group D... and for three years in a row, they've been placed in danger of being disqualified...

└ ...T_T



▷"TSM vs WE explained in one picture.jpg"

└ Not really, it's quite the opposite actually. It's Bjergsen that lost this time.

└ Bjergsen didn't do so good himself.



▷??? : Hey, I'm in the same boat as you now. Is there room for one more?



└ LOL



▷Doublelift feels like a "one-champ-man". Lucian in 2016, and Tristana in 2017.

└ NA's week 2 is science.

└ TSM lost during the laning phase and gave up all objectives... feels like yesterday's game. The jungler has no early-game presence, TSM's composition calls for a beatdown in the early-game, and they're solely playing reactively. At Worlds so far, it's always been the aggressive teams that end up winning. For how long are teams going to play defensively, solely relying on Ardent Censer and late-game?



▷LPL is so strong. They might even win.

└ EDG beat this team? What the...

└ The analysts were correct. I was baffled at first when they rated WE and RNG higher than the #1 seed, EDG.



▷I thought maybe, that this year, it'll be the year for NA. I put TSM 1st and IMT 2nd in each of their groups. But now, we're here in week 2, and look what's happening. No longer am I going to rate NA highly.



▷???: "Hey, you were just as bad haha."



└ Is it time for Hauntzer to suffer now?



▷TSM would've won if Reginald played in place of Bjergsen.

└ He'll over farm both his lane and jungle and wipe everyone off the Summoner's Rift.

└ lmao.

└ If Reginald's Zed made an appearance, the game would've immediately ended in favor of TSM.
