So the finals went on today, the matches were amazing, both matchups went on for the full 3 games.
The results are:
SK Gaming 1 - 2 Dignitas
Moscow 5 2 - 1 TSM
This means the places for IEM Kiev are:
1st M5
2nd TSM
3rd Dignitas
4th SK Gaming
The game for 1st place was insane, first game was well in M5's favour, but the second time it was the complete opposite, the 3rd game however did look to be going to M5 from the time they got their first kill. They're just so strong.
I look forward to Hannover and will be making posts about it.

IEM Kiev: Day 2 + Semi Finals
Didn't post about Day 2 yesterday so I'm doing it now along with how the Semi Finals went.
Group B results:
1st. M5 3-0
2nd. Dignitas 2-1
3rd. aAa 1-2
4th. Sypher 0-3
So my predictions were pretty much way off for Sypher, I really thought after there display in New York they would have done a lot better at this event, I was clearly wrong.
So anyway this put M5 and Dignitas through to the semi finals from this group. The semi finals are best 2 out of 3, unlike the Group Stages which were only 1 game against each team.
The semi finals games were to be.
M5 vs SK Gaming
TSM vs Dignitas
Semi Final results:
M5 beat SK Gaming 2 - 0
TSM beat Dignitas 2 - 0
M5 and TSM are through to the Finals, and of course there will be a match for 3rd place between Dignitas and SK gaming. I can't wait to see both. TSM and M5 are currently undefeated in this tournament, I've gotta say though, M5 are looking a LOT stronger.
I'll update you about the Finals tomorrow which is when they are taking place.

IEM Kiev: Day 1.
Results:
1st. TSM 3-0
2nd. SK Gaming 2-1
3rd. Curse 1-2
4th White Lotus 0-3
So as you can see my predictions were a little bit off, I got the 3rd and 4th place right.
But anyway these are the 2 teams I wanted to see go through.
SK's only loss was to TSM which was unexpected, it was a very one way game.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I haven't really seen any of the Group B teams properly play before, so it should be interesting.
I will post about how I feel some of the games went in later posts. :)

IEM Kiev: League of Legends
So IEM Kiev is coming up and I thought I'd just write about it considering it's something I'm interested in.
First off, the groups.
My Predictions for Group A:
SK 1st Place, TSM 2nd, Curse 3rd, and White Lotus 4th.
Now if I was writing this about a week ago, I wouldn't have even put SK as second, the team has just recently come back from losing 2 of their members who went on to join another team (CLG.eu), however they have gained 2 new members who are amazing players, and having watched some of their games it seems they have teamwork and communication down to a t.
Was hard to place 2nd and 3rd because they're both pretty close teams, however recently Curse lost one of (i'd say the) best player on their team, and because of that I'd say TSM will take 2nd place.
White Lotus I haven't really heard much of, but I don't believe they'll top any of the 3 teams in Group A
My Predictions for Group B:
M5 1st, Sypher 2nd, Dignitas 3rd, aAa 4th.
So my reason for believing M5 will come top of this group is that they've been REALLY strong in some scrims with other top teams. They completely wrecked TSM in a couple of friendly games. They have amazing teamplay and I think they have great map control.
2nd place to Sypher, I don't know much about them but they surprised everyone with how well they did in a big tournament last year.
Dignitas 3rd and aAa 4th, I just don't think they're as strong as they have been in the past.
As far as I'm aware the first matches start tomorrow, and I will be posting about results and how well I think the teams played, what I think they did wrong, what I think they did right, etc etc..
For the people who aren't interested in LoL at all I'll try and post something else, because I want to appeal to all my followers, not just a certain few.
Thanks for reading, if you're interested in this upcoming tournament let me know in the comments, tell me what your predictions are. :)
