So now that we know the finals pair it's time to throw our extremely high iQ predictions out there. I'd like to hear reddit's opinion about the upcoming battle between china and EU, write your score predictions with some analysis with it to spark spicy conversation.
First briefly about the lanes: Top: I think this is the strongest point for fpx. Wunder has not been an amazing laner during the tournament and Gimgoon has had some monster performances, truly hard carrying some games. The thing with Wunder tho is that no matter what happens in the lane he seems to come back to relevance during the lategame with G2's insane teamfights or great macro in the sidelanes. I woule still give a slight edge to fpx here.
Jungle: This is a tricky one, Tian is consistent and great almost everytime and can carry the team when it comes to it. Jankos on the other hand is pretty inconsistent and has very low low's, although I think he has had very high high's also. How well they play with their midlaners comes to a big role here and i think Jankos is on his best form ever right now and would give him the point here.
Mid: I agree with the post the other day about Doinb entirely, his style of playing is not the "super carry Doinb" ( even though having some monsterous games). He is the voice, heart and soul of fpx, you can't downplay that. Caps has had an amazing tournament so far with the absence of craps almost entirely. I think he is mechanically the better mid, but we shall see how well they play the map. Both mid's have huge champion oceans and few very cool picks that I'm so hyped to see.
Botlane: Lwx and crisp is hard to analyze right now. How good lwx really is, is a mystery to me. He's had more than a few some very questionable plays, although he pumps up the damage when he has to. Perkz and Mikyx are on insane form right now, and with perkz's huge champ pool are by far the better botlane here. Eventhough his Yasuo was 1/6 today he still somehow seemed relevant.
I have to say that after semifinals G2 seem like a much better team here. The way the games looked was night and day. Fpx played really scrappy and i think IG made some massive mistakes in the series. Although G2 looked cleaner, they were losing early in almost every game, perhaps G2 is just so good after lanes that they just bounce back or perhaps SKT just wasn't good enough. Perhaps just playing vs another LPL team the semi looked like my promos or that always fight style is just how china plays and wins, we shall see.
Just judging from the semis i think G2 takes this 3-1 (all according to script). I don't think that you can play that messy style vs G2, they will just ride that sh*t with you.
