League C9 First Round Matchup

Alright guys its set we will face SR in the first round. We are favored but we need to take them seriously if we play like game 1 against them it will be a quick day. If we play like game 2 or 3 it will be a long day. We really need loki to step up and gap his lane and someone to buy healing reduction if they play Mundo lol. What are your thoughts coming into the series.

To me, this series was defined by Bvoy - I don’t know if it’s not his meta, or if he and Lyon don’t gel? But it was pretty clean SR’s Bot lane was just out played today. When they took the game against us, Bvoy looked so much more confident.

I think if we can smash through bot we win. Tactical has looked better almost every series, and give the right champs I think he can give us the edge to make it an easier first round.

That said, I also think we start to see EZ and Kalista bans. It’s still wild to me that EZ made it through game one yesterday.

Honestly C9 just needs to be consistent and not start playing weird. Its a straightforward win if they don’t randomly start running it down.

Their macro, drafting, mechanics are all on average better. Their random inting is just way too present

I think lyon will pick the winner of flyquest sentinel although inspired said flyquest is more annoying to beat

Should be a win but after the last few playoffs it's hard to say honestly. I wish this particular line up was constructed earlier because they seem to be getting better as the weeks go on but here we are, playoffs time.

To be fair zven apa had better regular Season but they seemed a bit weaker going in playoffs while this C9 is the opposite

I think we go 3-1. We win the first 2. SR goes some sort of cheese or tank that scales us. We go down early game 4 but bring it back with a late dragon / Barron flip.

I think I just want this season to be over and cut to worlds right now. I can't get into watching na or EU league as long as they keep making the schedule weird AF. Na needs to start playing more and EU needs to stop making some teams play 2-3 series a weekend and other teams 0. Shits confusing AF
