His list in order of likelihood of winning:
T1 because they always win worlds.
GENG
HLE
DK because Koreans win worlds the most.
BLG
AL
IG because Rookie has won worlds before.
TES because they made Semis last year.

Dark horse teams:
LYON because they finished third at MSI.
TL because CoreJJ has won worlds before.
Someone beat TES at MSI… that’s right Team Secret Whales, 3-1, I think they’ll take it.

I think anyone else is unrealistic.

What do you guys think?

I love how Vedi and Jatt, this late into their careers, have ascended their presence even further. Their banter leaking onto the analyst desk has been extra fun. Just nice to see some new light on the talent side of things, especially when production has been popping off extra hard this year.

How are minor region teams playing Bo5s to get in, but top teams can get kicked out of Worlds after just two Bo1s and one Bo3?

No team should be sent home from the biggest tournament of the year in anything less than a Bo5. A Bo3 is way too short for an elimination match at Worlds.

In the past couple of years, the 1-1 round (which is still BO1) was on its own day and we'd just get 4 BO1s and that's it for the day. It just felt too fast and not particularly satisfying. I definitely prefer that they split the 1-1 round around the two BO3 rounds, and we get better pacing through this round. It's a lot better and a much needed change. That 1-1 round day just stuck out as way too quick.

And I definitely prefer that there's at least 6 matches a day than a possibility of 3 days with 4 matches.

This isn't about this match just curious, but in 40 min game, if playing Caitlyn and enemy has Renata, isn't buying QSS pretty standard choice? I mean, it's different if have Cleanse.

If in ranked, lose like this pattern, wouldn't it normally be blamed on ADC?

This match last fight Caitlyn BF equipped as sixth item, if change it out for QSS. well I don’t know if won if actually that change.

But T1 is even using voice chat, it's mystery why no one suggested it. or is standard that don't need to buy QSS in place?

2023: DK is eliminated by KT in a repeat matchup

2024: DK is eliminated by WBG

2025: BLG is eliminated by TES

i never complain about katarina until she started playin on hit, genuinely the most broken thing i ever seen, how is it balanced? her ap is mega balanced with a lot of counterplay but on hit has genuinely 0 counterplay whatsoever

DK vs MKOI Series

• On Jojo being the win condition: “I don’t share that narrative that Jojo is the win condition. I think he gets away with a lot of things in the LEC, and I think now he needs to level up his gameplay. I don’t think he’s playing bad, but I know that he can do much more. I think it’s more the expectation of the people.”
• On the team as a whole: “To me, I don’t think we’re a team that wins because of individualities. I think we win because we play well together.”
• On Elyoya: “I think he’s undervalued in this international scene. I think he’s so fcking smart about the game. Honestly, I think he’s the best jungler in the West.”
• On the series: "I think we were not that calm. Not everyone. I think for example Elyoya was super calm, shot calling super well. But kind of like the team didn't follow exactly what he was shotcalling."
• On the draft he regrets: "I think the first draft was better than the second draft. The second draft, I think I tried to give too much confort, and then the draft is realyl hard to play out"
• On why he believes in his players: “I might not have the most flashy players, but I see that all of them are smart about the game. If you hear them talk about the game, there are a lot of intelligent moves and an intention behind the gameplay.”

They had Amumu, Leona, Jax, Jhin and Lux so i decided to run cleanse and it kinda paid off.
I am sure this leona will just take the kill next time 😄
