I can't wait for either a Doublelift led team or a Bjergsen led team to represent NA at MSI. Man, I can hear numerous amounts of people choking up with enthusiasm and expectations for these two NA teams.

Actually I'm just fine with one of them representing. I mean we came off of a 2018 year where TSM failed, SKT failed, EU was...EU, and a majority of western fans didn't give a damn about IG until RNG was out of the running and still rarely care about China. Funneling back to NA, you get two choices:

  • Liquid: The known international commodity whose greatest disappointment is having one visible and exploitable style over the 2018 season, thus creating a mixed reception of expectation until success shows itself; for me a 2-3 semifinal loss would be enough to give me some respect.

or

  • TSM: A cohesively untested roster that actually doesn't look as one dimensional as they used to be.

We can play semantics of name = team success all day and I'll just throw something something Uzi there. But give me a reason that isn't years ago not to have at least some enthusiasm or expectations in one of the teams?
