Obviously they won't do that, but they can't really hold their heads high on an international stage, can they?

Sven needs to go, I think. Either to take a sabbatical like DL or just go altogether.

P-EDIT: I'd say just pack it up, LLD. Misfits has been looking far better than TSM today, despite the loss at TSM.

You are aware we're probbly the two biggest TSM fans here, right?

Us shouting as loudly as possible isn't going to change how fucking stupid TSM has been and the fact that they are going to lose, lose badly, fail out of Worlds, and be n international disgrace for years to come.

Easiest fucking group. It could've only been easier with FB instead of WE. And they still fucked it up.

Are you telling me I'm not supposed to be critical of them, LLD?

Hell, going back to Bo1 NALCS might help. TSM has always done much better in series, but struggle in Bo1 group formats.

WE, Fnatic, C9, and FB made it out of play-ins. WE and Fnatic made it into knockouts. If C9 can manage to get out that puts the success rate from play-ins at 75%. The Number 1 teams from NA, EU, LPL and China will be out (C9 in almost certainly means EDG out).


One thing I have wondered at is how teams that win in the summer split (or even get in via championship points) are those that end up playing fewer competitive matches and farther apart. WE, Fnatic and C9 all won their gauntlets, won their play-in groups and then won their Bo5 play-in. Both G2 and TSM had an entire month between winning their league and their first game at worlds.

Sure, there's something to be said for teams knowing a team's strategy, but that would be most important if the play-in knockouts were followed by Bo5 matches. In Bo1 that's not necessarily the case.

Whhy are we getting rid of Hauntzer? He's done pretty well and has been their savior at least once here at Worlds.

So, why is that? Were IMT and TSM just that confident in their playstyle that they didn't bother to learn anything else?

1-7
Will C9 buck the trend and win, or will we get our regular 10 losses?
Or maybe we'll break our record and lose 11, 12 times? :O

Is there a single person in this thread making excuses for TSM? They didn't perform, period.

Seems stupid and counterproductive to excuse poor and/or stupid play. Especially for a team that should be playing at a higher level than they actually did.

Plus, I don't like the idea that because I'm a TSM fan I must defend some/most/any wrongs they do as not their fault. You're probably not implying that, but.

I'm not saying you can't be critical. I'm saying that some tsm fans yoyo between extreme optimism where losses are almost unthinkable and extreme pessimism where everything and everyone is shit.
