NA and EU LCS Playoffs: 3rd Place

Today should be quite interesting.  We haven't seen how H2K and SK Gaming really would do faced off against one another; likewise, the "new" Team Liquid that completely dominated CLG hasn't had a chance to play Impulse since the comeback.  Who will take 3rd place in their respective regions and square away points to Worlds?

Full Schedule and Predictions:

8:00 AM PST - H2K vs SK Gaming
Regular Season: 1 - 1
Prediction: SK Gaming 3 - 2.  Although H2K has been doing quite well as of late and it seems that SK's strategy has been laid bare, SK is still a really powerful team that is quite tough to interrupt.  With their chances to going to MSI gone, SK is going to do what it takes to make sure they can secure a spot to Worlds later in the year--which means they're going to prepare for this game much more than they did for UOL.  It'll be a close series, but SK will come out on top.

12:00 PM PST - Team Impulse vs Team Liquid
Regular Season: 1 - 1
Prediction: Team Liquid 3 - 1.  With their extraordinary performance against Counter Logic Gaming and solid game play against Cloud 9, Team Liquid has been looking much better in the playoffs than they did during the regular season.  Team Impulse, on the other hand, looks like they stepped up a bit for playoffs, but no where near the degree of Team Liquid.  Although no win will be an absolute blowout, Team Liquid should secure the 3rd place spot.
