im not sure the NA scene is bad enough to get dumpstered by the 15th+best Korean team(and I kind of think saying this Quantic team would even be a top 15 Korean team is pretty generous).

so until we get a bunch of 'great, not phenomenal' korean teams coming here we should all chill out. I really don't want NA or EU LCS to become dominated by Korean teams.

Elise jungle in Royal Club would like a word!

if you can hit nearly every cocoon it doesnt matter if you have 30 cs at 20 minutes.

Top 4 in the world? Top 2? World champ?

Still, so long as they don't act like the new jungler coming is a binary "OMG TSM IS RUINED" or "OMG BESTEST THING EVAR!", it'd be somewhat alright. Obviously can't speak for how said jungler will actually work out, but it's better to go in on a more even keel than to automatically cry one way or the other.

Speaking of, though, did Amazing leave TSM altogether or just go on the sub roster for the time being?

You put either NA team(TSM/C9) on the other side of the bracket and either one has a good chance to go to finals. TSM just went complete fucking retard against SK.

You also have to realize who I'm directing my comment at. It's pretty much Kreygasm C9 anti TSM fanboy.

dig is pretty close to being a good team.

I think they need a 'good' jungler.

Gamsu is super solid.

Bot lane is WAYYYYYYYY too hit or miss which is a problem.

Shiphtur is basically the Jay Cutler of LOL... if he's on he's awesome, but he can just flip a switch and stop giving a fuck. Game 5 was SUPER telling for him... he looked like was actually still putting in effort which is good for dig.

They won't be the worst team in LCS, but they'll probably stay in the relegation battle, but I think they won't be in relegations next split.

Turtle is a super cool guy, but you could tell after yesterdays game he knew he didn't play well at all.

He's been underperforming for a little while now, so maybe just giving him a small break would be best for him.

I mean you never want to see someone come in and outperform you and take your job, but maybe this will be the spark he needs to kick it up a few more notches.

Who knows maybe Keith is the answer? Time will tell.

idk if they think they can't make mistakes then they're seriously stupid.

especially when you're in playoffs basically.

idk if they at least did shit, even if they mess it up then can be like

"HEY WE MESSED UP BY DOING X."

Basically they should just try basically everything possibly the last two weeks just so they have information on how they work with, and deal with things on stage.

pickemgenius · Sun Jul 26, 2015 10:48 am

tsm like 2-6 or 2-7 with santorin gragas.

basically all their losses involve jungle gragas either way.

k then.

absolute joke play the last month or so.

pickemgenius · Sun Jul 26, 2015 6:46 pm

turtle was actually pretty alright and mostly smart this game.

it was mostly just bad decision making that led to an early c9 gold lead even tho they were down objectives. tsm won a fight with a catch, but then around baron Lustboy tibbers'd three people and nobody followed up. like if bjerg ults that and e's that then game is easy peasy. idk just shitty everything.

cant get a lead early even when you REALLY FUCKIGN SHOULD HAVE A LEAD.

pickemgenius · Mon Aug 17, 2015 3:31 pm

if you watch TSM Legends they basically(see:Regi figured it out) that they basically only played to scale and 'not lose' instead of trying to win. Basically accurate, and definitely carried over that sloppiness into games 1 and 2, but games 3 and 4 were very decisive. It actually feels like they don't want to just wait for the other team to fuck up and win because they can win that way.

idk. I think they can grow more until worlds. How much more.... that's up to them.

True enough.

Still, I feel like TSM really misplayed that last teamfight. The initiation was poor, and they more or less just lined up for Stixxay to leapfrog from player to player.

When Hauntzer fucked up the Gragas ult, TSM had ample opportunity to just RESET the fight and try again in a few minutes. Why they felt so rushed there is beyond me.

What I did notice a lot of today is that Hauntzer either straight up WON the team fight or LOST the team fight. Not a big deal, any team with Stixxay at ADC has no chance to be relevant on a world stage.

But man....
