Why does TSM look so sloppy?

I'm disappointed by TSM. They are looking like they could even lose against renegades. My bronze 5 team could be renegades.

Let's mention TSM by every individual's habits in the game.

Bjergsen is a safe player, only going aggressive if he sees the chance to. He doesn't leave lane a lot because of that, if he leaves lane and gets nothing from it then he'll lose lane. Svenskeren is a total aggressive jungler, always going into enemy jungler and attempt to kill them or steal their camp. Doublelift is an aggressive laner, always winning lanes and often gets a 2v2 kill in his lane. He rarely leaves lane because of an understandable reason, he often wins lane. Yellowstar is a shotcaller. Mediocre mechanic, he's not so good in lane, but makes it up by roaming, setting vision for his team, and call for rotations to take objectives. Hauntzer is pretty much jack-of-all-trades, he has no specific playstyle.

See the problem? Because I do.

Their duo bot doesn't sync well because Doublelift would always play aggressive but Yellowstar isn't very good at it, and since he often leaves lane, it puts Double in an uncomfortable place where he can't play offensive. The mid-jungler duo doesn't work well together because when Svenskeren is in trouble in enemy's jungler, Bjerg wouldn't leave lane because if he thinks it's gonna put him behind, he won't go for it. Svenskeren doesn't gank lanes much because, well, he ganks the enemy jungler.

None of the players' playstyle mesh together, and they have so much ego (we all know Bjerg, Doublelift, and Sven has massive ego) that they don't want to adapt. This is pretty much the reason why their lane phase is okay (because not much gank from jungler and support sets up vision instead of helping ADC), mid phase is bad (because 2 players want to stay in their lane and try to win), and only their late game is good simply because their mechanical skills are outstanding.

TLDR, each player's play style doesn't mesh well with another, and they refuse to adapt.

Did you hear their teamspeak? It was stupid as hell, Yellow barely got a word in. What's the point of having a world class shot caller on your team if you aren't going to let him shot call?

I blame Regi with his "everyone's a shotcaller" thing. He gets too involved in the coaching decisions, and they always fail because of it. We see Loco move to TL and now we see that team actually making progress and improving, meanwhile TSM still sits in shit, dragging 5 world class players down with them. Literally 4 out of 5 of those players are at least top 3 in their roll in the west, yet the team still sucks.

Regi actually has "everyone's a shotcaller" policy? That's really weird, because back when he was still playing, everyone would just follow his stupid aggressive calls and he'd just lead TSM to win.

He always has to be the team leader, even when he's no longer on the team.

i guess doubleshit and yellowstar dont play well together. sven was always way too overhyped in my opinion. not bad but not as good as he was hyped. hauntzer also never really looked great to me. only bjerg was always a star but he cant carry alone.

also the normal stuff: kinda new team, new season, bla.
