My Week 8 LoL LCS Predictions

Alrighty, I'm a big fan of the LCS if it wasn't obvious already, and I thought it would be fun to make predictions on who would win the matches scheduled for both NA and EU.

Once each day of the LCS is finished, I'll come back through and edit the actual winners for each match-up, then update my prediction accuracy for each day!

Thursday Accuracy: 66%
Friday Accuracy: 66%
Saturday Accuracy: 83%
Sunday Accuracy: 50%

North America

0 - 3

Basically, unless Cloud 9 goes full retard this week or Dignitas pulls out some stupidly insane awesome strategy, Cloud 9 is basically guaranteed to win this game.

Winner
Cloud 9

Actual Winner
Cloud 9

2 - 0

I actually couldn't remember who was the dominating winner in this pair, and it surprised me a bit to see Team Coast had been the top dog in this duo.

Well, here's to hoping Coast can keep on top!

Winner
Team Coast

Actual Winner
Team Coast

2 - 1

Alrighty, the last time these two met up, Velocity ROFLStomped Vulcun surprisingly.  To be completely fair, I think it was more so a fluke game where Vulcun just wasn't taking Velocity seriously and paid for it with a loss.  I'm all up for Vulcun winning this week.

Winner
Vulcun

Actual Winner
Vulcan

2 - 1

I really love both of these teams, and in the last few weeks, they have been improving and failing respectively in a multitude of different ways each.  None the less, my love for Curse is just a smidge bigger, so I'm rooting for them.

Winner
Curse

Actual Winner
TSM

2 - 2

For the longest time, CLG was considered Vulcun's bane in the LCS, the one team that kept beating them, until last week.  Finally, they managed to put the smack down on CLG, and I'm hoping for a repeat performance this week.

Winner
Vulcun

Actual Winner
Vulcun

3 - 1

Team Coast has ROFLStomped Velocity every game up to this point, and I'm guessing it's going to keep on stompin'.

Winner
Team Coast

Actual Winner
Velocity

0 - 4

As much as I love Curse, Cloud 9 is just plainly an unstoppable beast this split.

Winner
Cloud 9

Actual Winner
Cloud 9

1 - 3

This match-up has been pretty even all split, usually just small mistakes or singular teamfights being the factor that swings the match into one team's hands.  In result, I think it would be nice to have the standings even between the two teams.

Winner
TSM

Actual Winner
Dignitas

4 - 0

Curse is just one of the teams that can't seem to get a win against the second place Vulcun, and while I would love to see them get that first win, I don't see it happening this week.

Winner
Vulcun

Actual Winner
Vulcun

4 - 0

While I want them to take Velocity seriously and not make Vulcun's mistake, I'd be so happy to see Cloud 9 troll them in the end with some weird strategies, team comps, or champion picks.

Winner
Cloud 9

Actual Winner
Cloud 9

4 - 0

Here, I am just hoping for TSM to make an awesome upset in this pairing and take home their first win against CLG.

Winner
TSM

Actual Winner
CLG

1 - 3

While it's always fun to see standings even up between teams, I have this feeling Dignitas will come out on top for this match up.

Winner
Dignitas

Actual Winner
Dignitas

European

0 - 3

So happy to see Evil Geniuses winning against Gambit, and I would just be tickled pink to see that trend continue forth!

Winner
Evil Geniuses

Actual Winner
Evil Geniuses

1 - 2

Combining the fact that SK has been really inconsistent in their playing game to game, and that Alternate got booted from the top just last week, I see Alternate working their butts off to stop SK from giving them a loss this week.

Winners
Alternate

Actual Winners
Alternate

1 - 2

With the LemonDogs stunning performances lately, I really see them taking their first win easy from MYM.

Winners
LemonDogs

Actual Winners

2 - 1

Both teams have had roster changes, and they're even in wins against each other.  The only thing I see giving Fnatic the advantage is NiP's more recent roster change making their gameplay less than appeasing.

Winners
Fnatic

Actual Winners
Fnatic

4 - 0

Just like the last three times they have met up, I'm expecting Alternate to steam roll over MYM once more.

Winners
Alternate

Actual Winners

I really want to see LemonDogs do well, considering they've worked so hard to get to where they are now.

Actual Winners
SK

Gotta give this one to my boys over at Evil Geniuses.  If I had to pick a second favorite team in the EU LCS, it would probably be Fnatic right now, but my heart will always be with EG.

Winners
Evil Geniuses

I'm going to hand this one over to Gambit, because I honestly see NiP being weaker this week with their new roster change for their top lane.

Winner
Gambit

Actual Winner
NiP

3 - 1

While this match-up is probably going to be a close one, I'm banking on Fnatic pulling ahead and taking a 3rd win against Alternate.

Winner
Fnatic

Actual Winner

2 - 2

Gambit as a whole has done better in this match-up of teams, but again, I would really like to see LemonDogs keep doing well in that first place position they earned last week.

Winners
LemonDogs

Actual Winner

2 - 2

I just don't have much faith in NiP's new top laner, so I'm going to be handing this game over to MYM.

Winner
MYM

Actual Winner
NiP

2 - 2

Oh EG, how I love thee.  I hope thy team shall do well in this week that is the 8th of the split of the summer.

Winner
Evil Geniuses

Actual Winner
SK
