Gonna tag along this comment and add an extended TL;DW for anyone interested

Note: This is a rough summary of what I heard and I may have missed/misinterpreted some information.

Rank Jatt Reason Kobe Reason Azael Reason

1 CLG Strong solo laners, system for shotcalling, 2016 RO coming back TSM MikeYeung will eventually succeed, Ssong is strong coach TSM Lots of experience between Bjerg/Zven/Mithy, ??? MikeYeung

2 TSM Big changes to roster = not good enough to be first (referring to post-2015 worlds) TL Everyone been on same team or veterans, ??? possible conflicting botlane TL High individual talent, stronger Immortals team

3 TL Impact overrated, botlane synergy important CLG Agreed with Azael CLG Top 3 teams; clear step above the rest

4 100 pr0lly, good culture, faith in Ssumday/Aphromoo C9 ??? Licorice, Smoothie/Sneaky/Jensen combo strong CG EnVy but w/ strong coaching staff and support

5 C9 Might struggle w/o Impact, Sven good for team 100 Synergy in pr0lly and Ryu, Ryu and Meteos + Aphro C9 ??? Licorice against other top-laners

6 FOX Dardoch & Fenix, negative feelings about org CG None 100 Ssumday, everyone else ???

7 CG EnVy was in relegation, Apollo not reliable late game FOX Had in 4th place but gamble, Huni strong, Altech & Adrian from Dig, FOX Dardoch/Adrian have potential, Huni strong, depends on personalities

8 GGS Disorganization, chance for team to work well, may prove Jatt wrong FLY Faith in Flame/Wildturtle/IMT subs FLY Good but better rosters elsewhere, AnDa ???

9 FLY Roster made from scrambling, Stunt bounced around OPT Good talent, ??? Bot-lane, ??? Coach GGS All English communication, better rosters elsewhere

10 OPT Good org, motivated players GGS None OPT Very tough to compete with other team but can be successful

Other Notes:

100T and good marketing

Kobe beat Akaadian in solo-queue

Really big brands coming in (e.g. Nadeshot); will bring in more viewers

Best way to get new people interested: Watch LCS with them and answer their questions

Azael: No difference in international performance with switch to BO1's
