Eh TSM
Think this team has any 1-3 potential without Doublelift?

If they sharpen up then yeah
I don't think it's wild's problem that tsm isn't doing well. None of them are playing to their full potential.
Turtle needs to step up first off and so does the other members of TSM not so much about skill but shotcalling rather.
It's been talked about for about 3 years now that Bjergsen doesn't want to shotcall nor is he really good at it. When they brought in D-Lift he and Bjergsen but mainly D-Lift became the shotcaller while Bjergsen was more like a LT. to a CPT D-Lift talked to Bjergsen and Bjergsen gave the order to the other 3 TSM players.
Without another person for Bjergsen to talk to I just see the same ol' 2015 Summer TSM where they are too reactive and just wait till the 50 min mark to make a move relying on year long death timers to win their games instead of methodical and textbook style gamplay that we saw from them last year.
TSM is really backed in a corner I believe this split. They always relied on talent and "ok" map plays where the rest of the NA League had very little talent with the exception of botlane CLG and C9 as their rivals but now that can't do that anymore in NA as NA actually has talent on all teams now.
Overall I don't see TSM winning the Spring Split championship and wouldn't be surprised if they get eliminated in the Semi-Finals in the playoffs; if they can even make it to playoffs.
I'm actually under the assumption that this'll be a year in which both them and CLG will have a bit of a "fall from grace" (or more accurately, someone other than them will win a split for what feels like the first time in years). TSM has a roster which on paper looks to be far weaker than the other teams (Sven being a pretty "meh" jg, Hauntzer being neutralized quite a bit due to the tank meta, and wildturtle/bio being nowhere near a top-3 botlane), with Bjerg being the only guy who you could potentially consider to be a top-level NA talent. They also lost Weldon Green to G2, which is a big loss considering he's had a history of turning "borderline" teams into "playoff" teams (see: TL/NV from last year). While I don't think they'll be ridiculously bad, a 5-6th place finish wouldn't at all surprise me (with CLG being my 7th place team).
TSM whole team has no map awareness they got got BD'd by enemy Fiora.
