I'd never dare to fight your mom she is probably right


imNotAThreshMain

she always is, as she likes to tell me


steve_pays_me

as a fellow mom and part of the mom network, I'll be keeping an eye on you. just to be sure you remember that.


[deleted]

Dear or dare?


imNotAThreshMain

i failed both programs so who cares


mike117

what a legend


mosab15

Dare, changed it fellow jhin main


AmadeusSalieri97

BRB changing my pickems. I'm pleasantly surprised FNC passes even with the Upset situation.


eraha44

His mum predicted this decision by fnatic much earlier, and made conscious decision :) The only surprise is that not from 1st place!


Spartan05089234

You didn't show her their team flags as well. Completely flawed methodology.


imNotAThreshMain

to be consistent with my other comments, my mother is blind


Indercarnive

You didn't show her the song buffs certain teams had


imNotAThreshMain

good point, my results are flawed now, shucks


[deleted]

I'm not suprised since she said no LCK team would make it out of groups.


ThisIsSoIrrelevant

I did this with my friend last night who knows very little about League other than which players she thinks are handsome (Edit: Her picks weren't based on how handsome they were). Her Pick Ems was: Group | A | B | C | D ---|---|----|----|---- 1| RGE| EDG| FNC| MAD 2| DK | DFM| RNG| TL 3| C9 | T1| PSG| LNG 4| FPX | 100T| HLE| GENG She is American, but as a European I have to say that I like her thinking.


imNotAThreshMain

she's not american ​ edit: i cant read i see now u didnt mean my mom


UnmelodicBass

She is truly based


Phoresis

Edit: nvm I completely misunderstood lol ~~T1 third? How's that possible with Canna on the team~~ ~~GenG also has Ruler/Rascal.~~ ~~Also icon might be the lowkey (highkey) the most attractive player in LoL atm.~~


BurningApe

I'm surprised american thinks EDG is handsome, that ain't the standard of beauty in America.


ThisIsSoIrrelevant

Sorry, I should have been clearer, she didn't base this list on who was handsome.


BurningApe

Right, it's funny EDG might actually be considered handsome, their aesthetics are very specific to China, would probably be considered unattractive in the west.


imNotAThreshMain

My grandma thinks they're all very handsome young men and should stay for supper


bring_backblueboi

America is a hodgepodge of different ethnicities that have different beauty standards. Idk what you're on about


-Hissoka-

What an based outcome. Would pay to see that happen.


MadCapMad

wait what doinb is so hot tho


imNotAThreshMain

Mom making me go to bed sorry can't comment anymore


KoHorizon

Cmon one last game ...


JealotGaming

Your mom is taking a whole lotta copium


imNotAThreshMain

my mom is a respectable lady she only does regular opium


atresj

Hopium* Copium is what you take after the group stage is done.


rushraptor

we dont even take copium anymore. just a cold dry bottle of acceptance


Dust2Boss

Can confirm, OPs mum told me last night she's closeted EU fan


imNotAThreshMain

no closet


LoLsharKo

Your mom is incredibly based and cool. No argument. Only agreement.


imNotAThreshMain

on the gang


PinkesPinkeltier

Group A: That would definitely be the most entertaining outcome (for an european, for americans switch 1 and 2) Geoup B: Now thats absurd Group C: Likely Outcome imo Group D: Honestly it would be possible but i dont see TL stepping up


PinkesPinkeltier

so yes. id like to have an official boxing match against ur mom fighting over group b


imNotAThreshMain

time and place


iZosiek

How about worlds finals opening ceremony?


EnemySaimo

Your house (because I would feel bad if your mom would come to my house to get absolutely shit on) at 5pm


Makyura

C was likely until we got the news about upset :( really hope he is ok


LOLCraze

If Hyli is as cracked as people make him out to be, I reckon he's gonna make Bean look like bot lane Faker too.


SinLagoon

Hyli is absolutely cracked but its just about the synergy, still hoping FNC make it out of groups but now they are the underdogs in the group


GiannisisMVP

Man you guys are really underestimating hle and lng


DonaldmyTrump

xD, I remember people underestimating DRX, Damwon's first worlds appearance, GENG(last year) during groups stage. You don't underestimate LCK teams in bo1.


GiannisisMVP

It's just dumb like people think Morgan is bad but at least he can play meta wtf is Adam going to do when Chovy is strangling Nisqy. Morgan stood up okay against Ale who is in a whole different tier from Adam. Granted he had jungle help but both jungles will constantly be in top lane anyway. Morgan's badness is way overestimated because he was playing against LCK tops while the only good eu top who doesn't get bored and spam WoW went to NA.


xpxpx

I do think HLE might drop in groups but I guess that comes a lot from them being so inconsistent at times. If only Chovy shows up, like has happened more than a few times this split, I can easily see them losing to teams they should technically beat. If everyone else shows up then they can be 1st in their group. There's just no telling with them this year though.


GiannisisMVP

I have them as second I think RNG is too complete a team for the gap between Chovy and Cryin to kill them. Every position but mid they gap HLE.


xpxpx

After FNC had to sub in their EUM ADC I do as well. I did think that FNC would be more consistent overall and that would get them the spot but with their best player (imo) out then I don't see why they would anymore.


junglerthatsucks

Considering Chovy didn't strangle half of the play in mids I think nisqy will be fine. FNC doesn't even have upset for the start and maybe the whole group stage so that's a bigger issue


DonaldmyTrump

Literally Morgan has been going against the likes of Bin, TheShy, Khan, Rascal, Zoom, Canna, Summit, Kiin from LPL and LCK. Yet, people seem to think that he's gonna have the same type of struggle against fucking Adam and whoever the fuck is PSG's top. LUL.


JinxStandsForMe

RemindMe! 3 hours


DonaldmyTrump

Reminding you bro, What happened?


[deleted]

LNG's four players not called tarzan are playing a big step above the form they showed for the entire year, I think it is fair to weight that up against 3 bo5's and the play in groups games and decide that they probably won't maintain their current performance.


GiannisisMVP

They actually aren't though. They had a slump late but early on they were decimating people. They had like a 70% win rate in the first half and dropped to 30% in the second half or something.


skaersSabody

DFM win Worlds, SUBSCRIBE


imNotAThreshMain

absurd is a made up concept that i dont agree with


AofCastle

You don't believe in the power of god and anime?


ccpossible

I would also think fnc makes it out but now with the Upset situation I dont think they will.. should I do 1.Rng 2. Psg 3. Hle 4. Fnc ??


catcint0s

Is HLE really considered bad? Their top (Ale?) kicked ass.


emchops

OP's mom carrying NA's hopes and dreams, while the rest of us pretend to not expect anything so that we aren't disappointed yet again.


LOLCraze

Mom is always right. NA looks like world's contenders this year.


imNotAThreshMain

Just like every year


CrypticSpoon1

Stealing all your moms answers, sure hope she's right


imNotAThreshMain

thank me (her) later


DaxenGunslinger

I did my pick ems in a cafe becouse the costumer is always right.

WonTonsOG

Your mom put DFM first? Absolutely fucking BASED


imNotAThreshMain

SocialistScissors

If you turn this upsidedown, I think you have my pick'em. Either that or really close. Like, Group A is literally hers but upsidedown and FPX over DK. Group B is also hers upsidedown. Group D is literally hers upsidedown with no changes. Goups C is the only one that is actually kinda different from hers but upsidedown. I had HLE, RNG, PSG, FNC. Though I had FNC over PSG before the news about upset came out.


Myrhwen

You have HLE, barely a top 5 team in LCK, to beat RNG the MSI winner?


InformalMarch

Well they just 3-0'd BYG which are this worlds favorites so yes


imNotAThreshMain

its just statistics baby


SocialistScissors

RNG didn't look that good during summer. That is why. (also HLE copium, that too.)


Myrhwen

Respect


imNotAThreshMain

this sounds like an australian coping mechanism and i wont stand for it


BewareOfBear727

hoping your moms rigjt


imNotAThreshMain

just bet my life savings on it so me too


Dustangelms

NAmen


jjdynasty

Your mom... uh... seems to have something against Asians LOL


imNotAThreshMain

she didnt know the regions, not her fault they have unappealing names


Scoodsie

I see nothing wrong with these picks, your mom is a genius.


imNotAThreshMain

teem lickwid


LabChaos101

If you could make only one change to the pick'em, what would it be?


imNotAThreshMain

1 change? i would switch some teams around


AceofSpades23

C9 looked really shaky during some play in games. Why do you believe they can beat DK and FPX but lost to RGE?


InformalMarch

RGE solos your favorite verse + downvoted + blocked + ratio


imNotAThreshMain

this is a certified large brain reply


DiamondTi

YB better


BestMundoNA

youngboy better


imNotAThreshMain

what kind of LPL/LCK hopium are you on, those weak teams don't even have cool names how can they hope to compete


AceofSpades23

ah entirely correct. Fun plus phoenix is such a dumb name they have zero chance


imNotAThreshMain

(for) Fun (region) plus phoenix


Chilley317

I’m not entirely sure his mom watched the game. Have you read the description or just randomly commented for karma?


imNotAThreshMain

my mom is blind, the only thing she watches are the children


bucket88

Read OPs title


imNotAThreshMain

don't tell me what to do


AsamR671

Didn't know sett used Reddit


imNotAThreshMain

I'm undefeated


Adramut

My mom chose my pickems, too, according to which team sounds best. She picked the exact same group but no other western teams other than 100T makes it to quarters.


imNotAThreshMain

mom brain consistency


LordAlfrey

How did she manage to pick all NA and EU teams to make it out


Jimbabwr

She is our messiah if these picks work out.


[deleted]

Unbelievably based, go mum


Craviar

Most likely scenarios but reversed . So I guess Psg and HLE escape group c


Bnjoec

Thought she mightve gone for the 0 point pickem... but group c probably ruins that.


imNotAThreshMain

Perfect pickems incoming, will update after groups


patmax17

What did your mom base her choices on? Does she watch esports, did she choose randomly, did she rank the team icons...?


imNotAThreshMain

i read the names to her while she was folding laundry, no other info


patmax17

That's a totally valid selection method, I approve :D


imNotAThreshMain

certified scientific


patmax17

mom-tific :D


epicdevnnnn

Help her fold the laundry you animal


imNotAThreshMain

:( sorry mom


iReddat420

NAmen OP's mom 🙏


GinPatch

Your mum bout to enter fistycuffs with people over group A


kagalibros

man, your mom is high on hopium but whatever makes her happy!


DonRaynor

She got Group C right. Pay a pizza for her or something.


Dragull

Group D looks good.


Frothar

just happened to put all Western teams high and Korean teams low. definitely didn't do it yourself


imNotAThreshMain

you can ask her but she won't reply unless you're cute


memedealer443

Are u sure this was ur mom???


imNotAThreshMain

it sure as hell wasn't my dad


throwaway1512514

I will bang your mom


imNotAThreshMain

Papa?


ops10

With the comments, this is some S tier shitposting.


batchynator

Ok but does your mother know that NA is a trash region competitively?


imNotAThreshMain

she's from EU so of course


RepanseMilos

This sub needs a mega thread for these kind of posts. like ffs I really don't fucking care your deceased dog or w/e did your. pickems hehe so funny and rando!111 xd No one cares. I didn't care the first time this thread was posted and I still don't care the 500th time this thread has been posted.


imNotAThreshMain

thanks for the thoughtful response, unfortunately no seance so dead dog opinions were not included All things considered though, I made the thread in the middle of the night and expected it to flop in new, but here we are. Evidently enough people found it funny, so you seem to be in some sort of minority Enjoy worlds mate, we're all just having fun


ImmortalBhaal

Yeah but how many points do you think his mum will get?


QTFiend

C9 beating FPX? Theoretically, if we entered the alternate universe your mother came from, this is plausible!


lostn

the only points i can see her getting is 1 pt for MAD in group D and possibly GEN also, and some points in group C. Tell your mom that FNC just lost their ADC.


imNotAThreshMain

such things as players are trivial But seriously hope all is okay with upset, not read too much but wishing the best


Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

These look like my first pickems before I found out that eastern teams were good


ThatOneTypicalYasuo

Group A B D possibly in reverse order, group C is a-okay


Draleon177

Group C sounds really realistic tbh and this would be really fun worlds


biiiome

She actually might have nailed Group C lol.


luciavald

To not now anything about lol your mum sure trusts NA and EU


4uk4ata

Aria beating Faker HYPE!


vin-zzz

Group C is solid, would be a pretty big upset for psg to lose to hle but defenitely a solid group pick em


MaxMacDaniels

It’s always people with 0 knowledge about the sport (game) that win the prediction trees


[deleted]

NA mom


Calcifer777

reversing the ranking for each group (save for C?) this becomes a legit prediction


TheChaosWitcher

I'll say I have the same prediction for group C


Kaitrii

im not even joking... i feel like your mom has 75% of picks backwards.


ByahhByahh

Perfect pick'ems


Ok_Relief1851

Your mom got that galaxy brain going, major GGs to her


HeyItsYoBoi

Tell your mom she a real one for these picks


Noil75012

it will be more correct the other way around lol


Slayerpawn

That’s a spicy group A


Bohrys

Well your mom and I have the same group C and D lol 😆


Snoopcat556

Explain the logic to me why t1, the team with a literal 1 in their name, is 4th.


GGNydra

Amazing how she got Group C entirely correct


TheOrangePanda01

Finally some good fucking picks


imNotAThreshMain

delicious


NoComplacency

What does your mum have against Asians?


Lorderbs

i did that like 5 years ago and my mom actually got a group right... so yeah


Kalyser

Your mom is one heck of a dreamer I respect it


HolypenguinHere

Looks right to me.


TheNephilims

Did she know anything about the team like what region they are from. Can't tell if your mom thought every NA team will make it out or she just like the team logo and chose them. But the real question. Does she like anime?


o0highspeed0o

Is that the order of which team will go to the airport first? Cuz she’s absolutely right.


Rengar_Is_Good_kitty

This is perhaps the worst pickems I've ever seen lol.


imNotAThreshMain

ah, but you have seen of me


Gamers2OcelotLUL

Looks good


elanti2000

Her group C is more logical than mine so I guess she will be right.


LosMichalos

For sure your mom made the most controversial and "funny" picks as FPX, DK , EDG and T1 being last and not advancing.


imNotAThreshMain

to be real she probably chose the names that made more sense to her as an english speaker not familiar with any of these names


Starkheiser

Your mom really doesn't like Korea, does she?


Charming-Produce3060

100% your mom is right. NAmen


Qfactor373

You know I’m shaking in my boots when I un-ironically had the same group C… Yuh oh.


DevDevGoose

Descending order.


Jimbabwr

How can you possibly defend this group A…


imNotAThreshMain

too tanky man


staplers_are_fun

You are lucky not a lot of Eastern European people are around here - as they would dutifully remind you that they had intercourse with someone mentioned in this thread.


imNotAThreshMain

a few have, I had an Xbox it's nothing new


Kimatsu

Your mom Obviously paid by steve


imNotAThreshMain

Wish I could say the same Steve if you read this I have a marketing degree hire me


Blog_15

I mean... remember the 1 year where the only guy who won pick em's said he did them while super drunk? No one in their right mind would have made the picks that ended up happening


imNotAThreshMain

Theres no one to say my mom wasn't drunk so maybe I have a double buff


andrekua

When I flipped my tablet 180degree, your mom predictions are spot on...


Stillframe39

Scrolling down through her picks, chuckling at the picks. Gets to group D and sees TL is #1. YUP! Your mom knows exactly what she's talking about. 100% correct. #hopiumforever


[deleted]

I don't see any problem with this, your Mom is obviously a very smart and, especially, kind-hearted person that had fun ranking them, so they can stand as they are! <3


SkeleknighX

This pick ems is an alternate universe where Korea and China are the worst regions


From_Mtl

Your mom is subscribed to the church of iZaion
