"We're playing at worlds so lets play the scared, afk farm game"

This has been the same TSM plan since season 2. Other veteran teams already know how to play against this team. Thats how bad they are in an international setting where the games matter. How can you expect more out of them when they continue to make the same mistakes? I've watched these guys play since season 1. Think about that. I used to be a hardcore TSM fan back in season 2 but year after year of disappointment at worlds makes me wonder why this team even bothers to practice for this event. Watching their games is like watching a loss in slow motion.

Crumbs said it best...you arent going to ever beat korea playing the meta they invented. Until NA and EU grow some balls like gigabyte marines and just play how they feel they have the best chance....they will continue to get stomped.

They didn't lose...this is probably why you should wait til the end of the game to put out your grievances.

I don't think that was their mentality going into the game, it's just they got behind largely due to their jungler, and put them in a position where they had to wait for items to fight. DLift said it during the interview, they had to try their best to stall until he and bjerg got items. It's also worth mentioning that TSM has the highest winrate among all the groups in terms of wins when in a 4k plus deficit. They are just good at playing from behind, which is an even better skill than knowing how to play when ahead.

They do play a bit passive but when you are a team for 7 years never really accomplishing much, why would you rely on first 20 or so mins, if you could just wait till 40-50 mins with the long a$$ deathtimers.
