Smeb wants to be the best in the world.He started off his campaign to challenge SK Telecom T1s Lee Faker Sang-hyeok as the best player in the world with a victory over wildcard Albus Nox Luna. The game wasnt as easy as it might have appeared on paper with the underdogs from Albus getting out to a lead early. But eventually, after stabilizing, the South Korean champion was able to take a decisive win.One player jumped out to him while training for the World Championships: the often overlooked top laner of Team SoloMid.Hauntzer, said Smeb when asked if a player or team surprised him while teams bootcamped for the tournament in South Korea. He showed up really well and was a tough opponent.When asked if he considered him a rival, Smeb replied with a smile, Yes.Smeb explained the Tigers hadnt played a professional game in a while so they came out rusty versus a spirited ANX. It took some time, but by the end, the Tigers resembled the team many believe will hoist the Summoners Cup in a months time.TSM is far above [the other western teams], said Smeb.The ROX top laner was impressed by the North American champions play and thinks they have the best chance to go far in the tournament out of all the LCS clubs.On the topic of his goal to become the best in the world, Smeb is humble but determined to live up to the expectations thrown onto his shoulders. Anything but a Summoners Cup with his closest friends on the Tigers would be a failure after getting the runner-up spot last year.I see it as a chance to become the best player in the world, said Smeb. But it is [daunting]. I need to show I am the best player throughout the tournament with my play.Finally, in the battle for the title of best in the world, two men stand over everyone else: Smeb, and the man hes never beaten in a final, two-time Summoners Cup winner Faker.I think of Faker as an outstanding player that stands out, he said. I cant say Im his rival; [however] after this tournament with my play, I hope I can tell him I am. Gianluigi Buffon Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play.

Who: Samsung Galaxy (South Korea, 5-1) vs. Cloud9 (North America, 3-3)When: Thursday, Oct. 13 at 6:00 PM Eastern/3:00 PM PacificWhere: Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IllinoisWhats at stakeFor Samsung Galaxy, this is the culmination of a two-year rebuild that has finally reached its end point. The organization was left in ruins after the 2014 World Championships when the two best teams in the world, Samsung White and Samsung Blue, decided to leave South Korea for bigger contracts in China. Instead of buying flashy names to replace them, Samsung went into a full rebuild, breaking down every remnant of the old championship teams and starting again from the rubble foundation.It hasnt been easy for Samsung these past two years. In 2015, it was a joke of a franchise. The teams it fielded were bad, and the former world champion organization was seen as cheap for not paying its players to stay or bringing it established names to replace them. But Samsungs two-year blueprint has come to fruition, and each starting member on the team has been systematically placed to get Samsung where it is now. The addition of veteran Kang Ambition Chan-yong at the start of the year was the piece that truly put Samsung back in a position of playoff contention, giving the youthful team a captain it could rally around.Samsung [started] from the bottom, Ambition said. People could watch us grow, and I think thats why [they] think were such a fun team [to watch].Cloud9, Samsungs opponent, is just trying to prove it belongs in the quarterfinals. After a disappointing group stage, the last North American team left in the competition needs to pick its game up on all corners of the map if it wants to have any chance of making it to the semifinals.dddddddddddd.But I guess the stars aligned for us, said William Meteos Hartman. I think we agree as a team we s--- the bed this group stage. And were just going to try to use the motivation of being the only NA team here.C9 was able to get ahead early against tournament favorite SK Telecom T1 in the second match the two teams played together, but NAs third-place team couldnt take control in the mid-game and eventually lost in the end stages. Its only win of the day was against Chinas I May, a team that was dealing with internal issues as one of its starters, Yun Road Han-gil, was banned for the first game of Week 2 for toxicity online. Funnily enough, the only game I May won was the one game Road sat out on.Matchup to watch: Lee Crown Min-ho (SSG) vs. Nicolaj Jensen Jensen (C9)Crown was one of the breakout stars in San Francisco for the group stages. His Viktor is a must-ban, with an overall record of 3-0 and a statline of 20/5/17 already in the tournament. And if Cloud9 wants to become the first North American team in a Worlds semifinal since the inaugural competition in 2012, Jensen (21/13/28, 547 DPM overall in groups) is going to need to keep up and surpass Samsungs mage-wielding mid lane ace.
