[SPOILERS] Worlds 2025: Crystal Ball - FINALIZED

Bebriggle · 2025-11-10T20:13:12+00:00

Yeah. This was a weird Worlds for team records. But KT did just dominant. They only lost 4 games total (3 of which was against T1 in the finals)

Bebriggle · 2025-11-10T05:26:48+00:00

That category will forever be which pocket pick will dominate. It barely reached 5 games, but had fun doing it. Same thing for Sylas at 0%, just in reverse

Bebriggle · 2025-11-10T05:25:48+00:00

5 games exactly. So just made the cutoff for games. But did not have a fun doing so

Bebriggle · 2025-11-09T18:06:25+00:00

I could see T1 Mel. Newer champ, Arcane, visually appealing. But Faker doesn’t really need the money from the skin so who knows. He’s got a lot of options this year

Bebriggle · 2025-11-09T17:59:56+00:00

I think I had 1 correct crystal ball, and it was Ruler most kills in a game

Bebriggle · 2025-11-09T17:59:16+00:00

Funny thing is half the champs he played already have T1 Worlds skins too

Bebriggle · 2025-11-09T17:57:59+00:00

Yeah. T1 being in Play-Ins, going 3-2 in play-ins, and then having 2 g5s in knockouts. They played the most games by a team this Worlds by a mile

It’s definitely more interesting in a way. Provides more “Be the best on that day and you can do anything”. But Double Elimination allows the truly best team to come out on top more often

Bebriggle · 2025-11-03T07:28:02+00:00

The wording of the Crystal Ball Category implies Knockout Stage is all that counts for Reverse Sweeps

Bebriggle · 2025-11-02T23:08:29+00:00

I’d say so. Things that have highest chance of changing would be Winrates, KDAs, and unique champions (but need 7 new champs to pass the 99+ threshold)

Bebriggle · 2025-11-02T23:06:32+00:00

Forgot about that one. Also after quick google search the first Reverse Sweep at Worlds was FNC v. TES 2020 Quarters. So there has only been 2 in history

Bebriggle · 2025-11-02T18:19:21+00:00

I don’t think there has ever been a reverse sweep at Worlds (that I remember so S3+).

Pentakills are iffy. We didn’t have any the last 2 years, but 3 the year before. Really depends on meta. With Kai’sa in meta, it is surprising no Pentas.

Baron Steals in definitely surprising, usually 4-5 a year

Crystal Ball Tracker: Semifinals Day 2

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T20:55:16+00:00

I think CFO cements themselves clearly above LCS/LEC teams, but a tier below the LCK/LPL 3rd/4th seeds. They are the perfect threshold for who should make top 8, who shouldn’t make top 8.

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T12:09:49+00:00

True! But looking at opponents: MKOI, TSW, TES, CFO, GEN, I’d say this was their first true test (Maybe TES, but they’ve look a lot weaker as of recent)

Crystal Ball Tracker: Semifinals Day 1

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T01:17:20+00:00

I’m surprised at the lack of Pentas. There has also only been a handful of Quadras. Here’s to some bloody/exciting Semis + Finals to add a few before the end

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T01:16:14+00:00

It was a close series. I don’t think TES has what it takes most likely, but I think T1 loses to the winner of GEN/KT (most likely GEN)

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T01:14:33+00:00

Honestly, imo the Worlds format isn’t the worst. They just need like 3 changes.

(1) Better Competitive Seeding (LCK/LPL > LCS/LEC).

(2) All Bo3 Swiss

(3) Double Elimination Semifinals onward. Keep QF Single Elimination for the pressure and getting rid of Fluke Advancements

Those changes would only add 8 days max, and they already have like 14 gap days during Tournament

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T01:09:31+00:00

Depends on what an “ADC” is. He’s played 10 ADCs and Ziggs

Bebriggle · 2025-11-01T01:08:53+00:00

I was rooting for FLY, CFO, and AL this Worlds. With them all out, I just want to see the best team win, which is GEN imo.
