Really weird to get flamed for picking Damwon over G2 & having ppl say "I've been hating on G2 the entire tournament". Let's review...

Picked G2 to win their group

Picked G2 to beat GEN.G

The absolute audacity of me to hate G2 this much

LS:

I've already learned that no amount of things that display arguments in favor of suggesting youre not bias, never works.

Azael

Okay, so you said they'd win against these other teams... But you think they'll lose against this one????? Can you even be more biased??? Both GenG and Damwon are league of legends teams so what's the difference???? You just hate Europe this much??

Raz after FNC lost to TES, and a thread said theres a bias against Eastern teams (really Europe)

Personally have noticed this as well recently. It seems as if the fans don't want to hear ANYTHING negative about their team whatsoever and will look for any reason to call you out for if you aren't completely 100% on their teams side.

I get everyone is a fan of their team especially G2 because they are so phenomenal, but this is getting ridiculous. How can we expect analysts to say anything truthful or be themselves if we can't accept anyone saying anything negative about your team and players?

This is how TSM and NA fans were acting when many analysts were down on the region before worlds.

You can open the threads of the recent dive, or hotline league, or anything about LS or Dom... it is like people just don't want to hear it, they refuse to.

Oh.

Except his prediction was NA 0-18. You can't just cherry-pick one and go "XD superior analyst."

Except he didnt predict 0-18, he said something like it wouldnt be that surprising if it happened, I cant find his exact wording. He literally picked TL to come 3rd in their group in his pick ems. He was wrong about FQ, but right about TL & TSM. He was about the same rightness as other analysts like Dom who predicted 1 NA team to make it through groups on average. Dom predicted FQ to come 4th and TSM to come 3rd IIRC.

Edit - searched for an hour, cant find it. Closest I can find is "TSM might go 0-6", where the host predicted SN would come last in the group. LS deserves credit for predicting SN #1, and Rogue #4 which surprised a lot of people. It's easy to cherrypick when an analyst gets it wrong, you have to look at the whole picture to be fair. If some1 can link me the clip where he said NA 0-18 I'd appreciate it. I seem to recall Frosk was there but could be wrong.

My mistake, it's actually 1-17. This is from the lolesports Twitter predictions, where there's one for each game played. His one NA nod was TL > Machi the first time.
