[Mega Discussion] TSM vs SHR

Update: We beat the casters in correctly predicting the winner by a lot of percents. :p

Esports fans! Who's pumped for the matches tonight? I'm pumped! I thought it'd be cool to have a definitive place to discuss the first match of the evening: Team Solo Mid (TSM) vs Star Horn Royal Club (SHR). I'll update the discussion until the conclusion of the match with some of the cool content you post. There's also a poll to vote on who you think will win.

I think it's going to be a good game, but my money is on TSM. Let's get this party started!

That's quite an impressive prediction, concerning you were wrong only in Dyrus' pick.

WildTurtle had such an amazing game. Holy crap!

ZombeehSep 21, 20145 votes

Bjergsen is in my opinion the reason TSM are crushing games. And i think he will shine again v SHR

PomegranateJuiceSep 21, 20145 votes

Truth is TSM has Looked rediculously good in every game. I think that first one versus SHRC was a fluke and they just under prepared for it. SHRC has looked fairly beatable versus the rest of the group. I'm voting for TSM to make it to semis...at least!

You're betting on TSM to beat Samsung White?

Would you like to make a friendly wager?

SHR FTW!!!!!!

Question, does the 1st place team in Group B play the 2nd place team from group A in the quarterfinals?

Archaic OneSep 21, 20144 votes

That is correct

Rolton CussellSep 21, 20143 votes

Doublelift was talking about it earlier at the announcers desk. Uzi and Zero always shove the bot lane. If Amazing can exploit UZI's aggressive play style with an early game jungler and focus his ganks in the bot lane, it could snowball and give TSM an early game advantage.

It'll be a tough game though.

GO TSM

PugnatioSep 21, 20143 votes

Dyrus and Lulu will help turtle go off. I'm looking forwards for a tiebreaker.

KusariSep 21, 20143 votes

WildTurtle has such fantastic positioning. That Tristana slow definitely secured Lustboys' life.

MiakasuSep 21, 20142 votes

Maybe TSM will ban Khazix, Lee Sin and Rengar and force Insec on J4. I really want to see insec give zero fucks on J4.

VersedianSep 21, 20142 votes

I'm interested to see if TSM will continue their aggressive bot lane with a support such as Braum . I like the new TSM that pushes to close out games rapidly and I feel that is the best style to take against SHR.

If I had to put money on it I would definitely say SHR but I am rooting for TSM. TSM performs great at their best but I never know what to expect from them game to game.

Urza the FallenSep 21, 20142 votes

GO TSM Let luck be with you

DryBonezSep 21, 20142 votes

I don't really support NA teams (c9 is my favourite) but still i hope TSM will win, cuz i saw them crushing SHR in the earlier match. hope EU or NA team will take the finals HOME , GO TSM!! Yasuo (hope bjergsen picks it again!!)

TamatSep 21, 20142 votes

Because, Rumble.

Rumble

Red CloudSep 21, 20142 votes

So assuming it goes to a tie breaker (TSM beat SK, SHRC beat TPA) what can we expect for the pick and bans from both teams?

I think TSM will stick to the rengar, zil ban and maybe let lucian through in exchange for a janna ban? I feel like janna is a huge reason for the 2v2 dominance bottom lane.

What do you think Tamat?

CuixSep 22, 20142 votes

Er, spoiler alert?

Edit: Sorry about the report, was just curious how the button worked. The fact that it's irreversible and has no "are you sure?" or "submit report" option is rather unfortunate.

Yoshi In A TuXSep 21, 20141 votes

TSM you got this been loyal follower since season 1 I know its like a completely new team but I love all of you guys the old and new pull it off for NA please we need this.

Urza the FallenSep 21, 20141 votes

Tamat who do you think is going to win this one ?

TamatSep 21, 20142 votes

TSM, but I'll be more sure after picks & bans. :)

KSHarrisonSep 21, 20141 votes

good call :P We need you on the analyst desk!

Rolton CussellSep 21, 20141 votes

Biggest game of Bjergsen's young career right now.

Konanni86Sep 21, 20141 votes

Gotta admit, I'm not the biggest TSM fan, but I'll always root for teams from my home country!

MornusSep 21, 20141 votes

I can't seriously say that I think TSM will win, but I do hope they prove me wrong.

FoxbreezeSep 21, 20141 votes

korea,eu,na- i love the players and the team. this team would deserve the worlds title simply because the players are already from all parts of the world- form korea to hawaii... i LOVE TSM

Konanni86Sep 21, 20141 votes

Amazing and those Q's.

Misses mostly, but when they hit, BIG stuff usually happens!

Swords to PlowsSep 21, 20141 votes

I expect SHR to focus all their bans on Dyrus if it comes to another match later in the day. Lets say you ban Lulu, Rumble and Maokai he has not much to fall back to. Maybe Alistar and Mundo. We will see but Dyrus champ pool is weak to some degree because he hasn't played Nidalee and we don't know if his Irelia is any good.

KSHarrisonSep 23, 20141 votes

His Alistar has carried every time he's played him, and his Mundo is also very strong. He played Irelia earlier in the summer and did fine, although it's not his best champ.

soulbanana8Sep 21, 20141 votes

Honestly, I was expecting SHR to win. TSM, you have impressed me again. Now I'm thinking that the dream of winning worlds might actually make reality.

12talesSep 22, 20141 votes

They're looking at three Bo5s to make that happen. How many more times do you think they'll manage to get Lee Sin, Tristana and Nami?

Thus far, in six games - Nami has been banned against TSM once, and Tristana has been banned against them once. I don't have faith that they'll continue to perform at such a high level when some of their weaker players are forced onto less comfortable picks, especially in a format where teams will be able to adapt their pick and ban mid series.

KSHarrisonSep 23, 20141 votes

I wouldn't worry so much about picks/bans options as the fact that they're against SSW.

12talesSep 23, 20141 votes

Well, yeah. Part of the reason that's a problem is that SSW is really good at pick/ban.
