Why Will/Why Won't your favorite team win their region/go to worlds?
Stealing this from r/nfl where they have a thread every day talking about why/why not a team will win the Super Bowl. We don't really have much analysis on this subreddit, so I thought it would be a cool idea.
Rules are: Even if your fav team is Phoenix 1 or like Splyce, you still gotta give reason why they WILL win their region, and reason why they WON'T For example my fav team is Echo Fox
Will:
Every single player on the roster has proven they're LCS caliber at the very least. Keith is poised to break out this year, a good Korean soloq performance cements in my eyes that he has the talent to become a top-3 ADC. We will just see if it happens. Froggen and KFO are able to step up and provide good solo laning performances to take the pressure off of Hard in the early game to create pressure.
Won't:
On paper, there is a very clear top 5 in CLG, IMT, TSM, TL, and C9. Even if Echo Fox breaks out, a 7th place finish in the Spring Split doesn't do much in the way of circuit points. Echo Fox will need a semis finish at least to even think about qualifying for worlds.
Although Keith definitely has top tier mechanics, his decision making in fights has been mediocre. If this team will be an ADC centric team Keith will have to have immaculate positioning
KFO, Hard, and BIG are LCS tier, but they haven't proven they are much more than that.
This team was straight up garbage in lane swaps. Always came out behind from lane swaps.
