Team SoloMid vs Team We

We're going against the oddmakers on this one. North America had a strong start to the 2017 World Championship, and they're spearheaded by the number one team TSM who persevered yesterday against the Flash Wolves and closed out the game through experience and cool-headedness in the most important moments.

When they come to play, they're one of the best teams in the world without a doubt. NA representatives only lost two games so far and that was against the likes of Longzhu Gaming and SKT T1 - losses that could be forgiven with the opposition in mind. TSM are the favorites to get as the number one team in group D with good reason - they have the tools to go blow-for-blow with Team WE, and they have the mental fortitude to endure the early game onslaught that comes with every LPL team.

They're incredibly clutch in those split-second moments which allows them to get out on top more often than not. The meta suits them as well and they have consistent, mechanically sound players in the most important roles.

While this game should by no means be an easy ones, they should be able to take it.
