You’re bored of picking winners and losers. We all are. So here are a couple of more interesting questions:

  • Which champion will have the highest pick+ban rate during the group stage?
  • Which player will earn the most solo kills during the group stage?
  • How many wins will the Wildcard teams earn, combined?

Think you can call it right on these and 11 other questions? Think North America can make better predictions than Europe? Go ahead: make your predictions. (And don’t forget to select which region you’re from if you want bragging rights!)

The results will be posted on Wednesday, September 30. Once the group stage is over, I’ll compare your predictions with the actual results, and we’ll see how close we came!
