SPLIT PREDICTIONS

                      North America.

10. Team Coast.
Sadly, this is a team that I quite enjoyed watching. They sometimes could pull off the best individual plays. Sometimes,Cris in the toplane has perfect synergy with their jungler Impaler. However, they just seem to have lost contact with each other in teamfights. It looks more or less like a Solo Q game whenever they play. Makes it all the more enjoyable to watch though.


9. Team Dignitas.

Ahh, the fall of the Dongnitas. A team that throughout the split has shown zero signs of improvement; Crumbzz left the jungle only to be replaced by arguably the worst jungler ever to be in the in the LCS. Then he was replaced by Azingy. Either way, Dignitas has shown 0 sign of an upward trajectory. They've either worsened or plateaued.

8. Team Impulse.
Whaaaat? you exclaim as you read this. Yes, Team Impact ;-) has had decent showings. But sometimes their play seems to fall SO flat. Every game they play- TSM to Coast seems to be like watching a person swim up the current with his hands tied behind his back.

7.Team Winterfox
At the beginning of this split I honestly thought this team would on the top half of the bracket. The Pobelter hype and Altec all looked to be doing so great individually. They truly had a bitter case of just falling behind the meta and not researching their opponents enough.


6.Gravity Gaming.
Great performances all around. One of the lower tier teams that actually uses strategy instead of simply trying to win lane and carry from there. 


5. Team 8.
At this point you probably think I'm certifiably insane. Team 8 over Gravity and WFX?  Well yes. This team has truly shown how to play this game AS A TEAM. Their mid- late game is coherent and well executed. They have decent carries in Maple and Slooshi. They really have it all.

4. Counter Logic Gaming.
I have a feeling they will be slightly higher in Playoffs. But as for the split, a dead 4th. Liquid just seems too good right now with 'KEITH' and while they are putting Piglet back as a starter, I have a feeling they are going to revert back to KEITH. In which case CLG is left to be the worse team of the top. 

3. Team Liquid.
THE PRODIGAL SON RETURNS! Yes, Piglet is back and Liquid could plummet again. However, something this time tells me that that's not going to happen. Xpecial and IWD have carried Liquid through so many games and I see more on the Horizon..

2. Team Solo Mid.
This was the toughest call to make in the list. Will TSM be 2nd or 1st?  There's your answer.

1. Cloud 9.
"Just another day in the office" - Cloud 9. Watch them come first in yet another split.
