Bjerg played Taliyah

Bjerg himself stated that he is a Taliyah main. Untill they dead-nerfed her after worlds.

Taliyah is still a pretty strong pick in competitive. Her wall is extremely strong in coordinate gameplay and she is still good in kiting.

Bjerg is why I'm starting to play Taliyah again.

Bjerg seems to be really good with the strategic abilities. Things like Taliyah's wall and Ryze's ult. TSM is also very good at playing the map, being just a bit faster to get to objectives, just a bit faster to get to turrets, etc. Where they seem to fall down is chaos. Throw something wonky at them, and their structured play can fall apart. Prime example: the loss to P1 a couple of years back.

I think their two games at MSI so far have exemplified that. The game against GAM they screwed up, got behind early, but by mid-game were starting to impose their order on the game, and clawing it back. Eventually, however, the chaos and the early deficit caught up to them and they lost.

Against WE, they were allowed to impose their sort of order on the game. Note the number of kills until right at the end, it was almost dead even at 4 or 5 a piece, but TSM dictated the pace of the game from early on. Even in the times they were caught out, they still managed to get objectives in other parts of the map. There were a couple of close moments around the baron where things could have gone very different, but in this case they were rewarded for their daring.
