On this week’s episode of Rift Reaction, Travis and Emily lament the West’s official demise from Worlds while looking forward to the offseason and the earliest signing rumors. In addition, they look back at Cloud9’s year, why the LPL “sucks,” and if these were the worst quarterfinals in Worlds history.

This week, Travis and Emily discuss the highly entertaining Group stage, the LPL “collapse,” and the narrative behind the LCK’s “dominance.” In addition, Travis and Emily react to the bracket stage draw insanity and the format’s discourse, as well, how the condensed format may have affected results. All that and more on a special Worlds’ edition of Rift Reaction.

In this bonus episode of Rift Reaction, Travis sits down with the LEC’s own Bwipo (Fnatic), Kaiser (Mad Lions), and Hans Sama (Rogue) to get the player’s reactions to the teams that made it out of play-ins, in addition, to discussing how both they and their team’s have prepared while giving their predictions for Groups stage.

Is Group A vs. Group B uneven? Why is Group B so competitive and will C9 make it out? Is Rogue doomed? Is North America doomed? The competition at Worlds this year is insane and with so many questions surrounding Group Draw and which teams will potentially emerge, Travis and Emily break down which teams will have the best chance of getting to the Knockout Stage.

On this week’s episode, Travis and Emily sit down with Team Liquid’s Jungler, Santorin, for an exclusive pre-Worlds’ interview to discuss battling health issues, playing with Alphari, when everything clicked for Team Liquid this summer, and expectations for Worlds.
