League of Legends Season 4 World Championships

I'll be posting my picks here. Anyone else betting on this?

October 3
Samsung Galaxy White (-2.5) vs Team SoloMid for Match
4 units @ -118

This doesn't need a whole lot of explanation. SoloMid hasn't faced a top Korean team on stage yet. Samsung White are all top tier players at their respective roles. SoloMid's jungle and bottom lane will prove to be an issue against White. Even with SoloMid's relatively successful group stage performance, their jungle and bottom lane have taken a back seat while they rely on their solo lanes. White's world class jungle and bottom lane will prevent SoloMid from winning a game in this series.

never knew you could bet on this !!

I'm using pinnacle by the way.

The line for Samsung White -2.5 vs TSM has now moved to -200 since I posted the play.

I'm keeping an eye on the line for Alliance vs Cloud 9. This series is hard to call but if the line continues to move in Alliance favor I'll be making a small play on Cloud 9.

Missed a great opportunity on LMQ vs OMG. Two teams that prioritize team fighting where anything can happen. Couldn't wake up in time .

September 25
Fnatic (map 1) vs LMQ (map 1) for Match
.5 units @ -106

Fnatic (map 1) (first turret) vs LMQ (map 1) (first turret) for Match
.5 units @ -108

Fnatic (map 1) (first blood) vs LMQ (map 1) (first blood) for Match
.5 units @ -108

I like Fnatic at these odds. This will be a close game but I expect Fnatic to take an early lead and put heavy emphasis on objectives. LMQ can definitely win this game if they force mid game team fights.

Loving Fnatics pick/ban phase. They have great disengage with Tristana/Nami and will try to prevent team fights from happening until they have a decent objective lead.

sOAZ overextending with no flash... Fnatic would have had first tower if he wasn't so careless.

[chris86]

Fnatic played so careless that game. They gave that game away by constantly being out of position while LMQ were grouped as 5.
