I got downvoted to hell when I posted a thread a year ago saying to get yellowstar off the fucking team watch them flourish; was right then I'll be right now get that mother fuckin turtle off the team; if Dlift doesn't wanna wake up and want to play full time seriously bring in someone who will, Upper management needs canned also for letting the turtle back in as starting ADC, MAKE TSM GREAT AGAIN (in NA atleast lol)
To be fair, doesn't TSM have a habit of throwing spring splits rather hard? They did last year despite the entire region being a bit weaker and bringing in the best roster $ could buy (yellowstar still widely considered one of the top-5 supports of the world at the time).
Oh, and losing to C9 isn't anything to be ashamed of. On paper, they are without question the #1 team in NA right now who barring smoothie have top-2 NA players at every position (I'd consider contractz a top-2 NA jg as unlike many other players like dardoch he's been "Groomed" for a long time and has a ton of room to improve still). TSM's real tests will be against both CLG and P1, as I'd consider the former the 5th best NA team right now and P1 the 3rd (so winning/losing to either of them will kinda give a better asessment of "where they lie on the totem pole").
Like what MYE said TSM has never been strong during the Spring Splits their record/standings might be high but overall in the long run of things they lose when it matters most as well as TSM has always been a team that makes comebacks they are constantly down during the first half of splits/series as well as playoffs.
Another thing is they were facing Cloud 9 who I think they are 1-5 now to start off their splits like they never can beat Cloud 9 in their first game.
Yellowstar - I will agree he was a reason why I think TSM wasn't good, that and with 5 players who have never played together so the synergy was another reason why that team and split failed.
Everyone on TSM looked sloppy that series.
The draft was awful they had an aggressive team fight comp while C9 had a better disengage reengage comp/assassins as well as lane bullies.
Would start fights 4v4 just so the Shen can Ult and make it 4v5.
Hauntzer would split push constantly but Impact just built super tank and made Hauntzer's split pushing useless but Hauntzer continued anyhow.
Svenskeren - I don't remember him actually ganking as well as he was just very passive so that's something that threw me off because he's known to be an aggressive jungler to start ganks and not react to them.
Bjergsen - Got caught out just as much as Turtle did as well if not worse actually. TSM had 3 wards around red and HAD to see the Lee but yet Bjergsen wanted cs more than his life so he stayed in lane on Jensen's side of lane? while the Lee walked from Red side to the river to the lane and RIP.
Wildturtle - Yeah same story with him for about 2 years now, he keeps getting caught out. Biofrost- The red hot Rookie split is officially over that's for sure. He would be the one that would start most fights in dumb situations either 4v5 or when C9 are ahead 4v4 with a much better team than TSM.
How can TSM avenge themselves against C9.
Well I'll witness your ballsy claim if you witness mine. DIG will be 7th this split.
