We're so behind schedule. Like 40 minutes now.

TSM looks really, really good here thus far against TPA.

[xRECKONERx]

After Loco/Regi's shit yesterday I can't handle them anymore. I'd rather watch them get humiliated.

[mykonian]

fucking tpa You only had to play how you would normally do and you'd beat this tsm. You had one job, but forcing winds on rengar just because insec murdered tsm on it was not the way to do it.

tbf, I'm pretty much in favor of anyone taking doublelift down a peg or three

doesn't make it not a dick move, but fuck, that guy has an ego the size of a planet

[xRECKONERx]

Loco & Regi deleted their tweets now, but... they just fucking RIPPED into Monte yesterday on Twitter because he analyzed their team on Summoning Insight/Analyst Desk as not being world caliber. He didn't just do it to be rude, like, he's an analyst and he was giving thoughtful examples and critiques (and actually pointed out plenty of positives about the team as well). Loco acted like an absolute child and threw a fit on Twitter and was just rude and hurtful... like, not playful banter, actually

mean

things. Monte actually responded with something along the lines of "I thought you were my friend" or something, and Loco responded with something like, "If you stopped pretending to be an analyst and stopped shittalking us we could've continued to be friends".

Just absolutely childish behavior from both Regi & Locodoco. When Loco didn't make LCS and was putting out sad/emotional/depressed vlogs, Monte is the one who reached out to him and was like, "Hey, let's just chill, don't even think about league, what do you want to do?" and pulled him up on his feet. Monte's the one who originally went to Regi with the idea of picking up Loco. And it was sickening to see Loco just harass him yesterday. You could tell it hurt Monte, who has already been dealing with all of the CLG drama, but now he has to get it from Loco (his "friend") too? I hate Reginald and I hate that whole organization. Fire Regi, bring in a respectable manager who isn't such a fucking child, maybe TSM can grow up then. Sorry for Bjerg and Turtle, because they're nice guys, but they're stuck with asshats.

P.EDIT: Wasn't the Doublelift tweets that bothered me. DL has set himself up to be a punching bag and that's fine.

[xRECKONERx]

Like, Monte's not a bitch. He can dish it out as much as he can take it, but it was so bad yesterday that he tweeted this:

"Thanks for the support everyone, I have spoken to Riot about the LCS harassment rules and look forward to their verdict."

[quadz08]

Fair enough. I hadn't seen the tweets at Monte.

[animorpherv1]

Regi needs to step down. He's so bad for the LCS, and he's a spoiled brat.

[zoraster]

what incentive does he have to do that? doesn't he own the team? stepping down means selling it?

[xRECKONERx]

He can remain owner, but Regi seriously needs to not be a public figure. Or he needs to hire a dedicated PR person so that when he goes, "Hey, I have an idea, I want to berate another eSports figure publicly over Twitter all day, is that cool?" someone can be there to punch him in the balls and take his phone privileges away.

Okay nevermind, Regi doesn't need a PR manager, he needs a mother.

[mykonian]

idk, he seems to be doing well. He is loved, has been for some time.

someone really need to take out regitrash

oddone should run tsm

[BROseidon]

Regi isn't that bad, IMO. Like, he definitely crosses the line from time to time, but he also is willing to admit when he does, apologize, and try to grow from it. The Regi we have now is much better than the one from s1 as a result.

Loco on the other hand... Needs to delete all social media and not interact with people.

[FakeGod]

regitrash's behavior is simply not acceptable

people have been fired for less

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah Regi is still an immature brat. I don't care if he apologizes afterwards, it keeps happening.

[Venmar]

I think Regi is the worst public figure TSM could have, since he's so toxic, but I also think Regi is a good coach and especially a manager, that you just need to keep away from Wifi.

I mean, that said, while Regi's and Loco's behavior was abysmally rude and mean, I don't think they represent TSM's behaviour as a team. None of the actual 5 players on TSM are actually at fault for the actions of their coaches, nor do they act the same. Amazing, Wildturtle, and Lustboy are all nice people, Dyrus has been super cocky and trash talky in the past but this season you can see he has toned it back quite a bit to the point he's respectful, and same thing with Bjergsen, who is a mix between the niceness of his 3 teammates and Dyrus.

Like, I think Reddit just took Regi's and Loco's actions as an excuse to nitpick all the little things the actual 5 players do and pin hate onto them as well when they really don't deserve it, imo.

Drama aside, I am really optimistic about TSM as a team right now. They crushed SK, got crushed by Royal Club though not without learning from it, you can tell by the little things like the deep ward at top for Dyrus, and just won a very convincing victory over TPA. On top of that, while they have lost all three of their games so far, the wounded SK is making the Asian teams work super hard for their wins in a way other teams aren't. Both TPA and Royal Club had to fight really hard to close out their games against SK just because of their seemingly super solid shotcalling and map presence. I think now that they will have their jungler back, I think SK will definitely start taking games off of the other teams in their group, because they seem quite strong and with a lot of potential.

[Venmar]

All in all, TSM is doing its best to show up, and EU 3rd place SK is playing very well despite not having their jungler. I'm optimistic for the other Western teams, imo, even though they will have 2 korean teams among them in their groups.

[Venmar]

One example, like I said, is when Dyrus got destroyed by Insec's lane gank in the Royal Club game, Dyrus and Amazing slightly learned from that and placed a deep ward in the top lane bush in the game against TPA, effectively preventing the same thing happening from Winds's Rengar. TSM also stepped up their ward control, tamed back Wildturtles aggression, and just generally did a lot of things right that got them their win over TPA, a lot of which could be traced to learning from their defeat to Royal Club.

PEdit: You deleted your post Zor, but that's my response.

[zoraster]

fair enough, i realized you had answered it.

On a completely different note, Dyrus has possibly the most boring voice ever.

[Venmar]

It's funny cause I have a friend that speaks in a similar fashion and speed to Dyrus and it's hilarious.

[Iecerint]

Team super meanies.
