To everyone saying TSM is trash

Borkahn·9/30/2016, 6:32:28 AM·20 votes·3,134 views

I highly doubt you understand the team composition that came into play here. This is game 1 and if any team has shown that it can adapt to what teams throw at them, it's TSM. They will make it out of groups. Most of you saying they are trash are usually bandwagoners who jump the moment a team loses one game. I got the faith. TSM will advance. RNG just had some patience and didn't bite. RNG played solely around Alistar's flash. If you watched the game you would know. They never engaged unless Alistar's flash was up because they looked or the flash knockup. Godo game to RNG but you best have a different game plan when TSM next sees you because trust me, you don't want to be you. TSM all the way. Look to the next game boys.

Stand strong TSM fans. And remember to be humble when we leave the group stage and head to the bracket. Because some people kinda hate it when they get the tar kicked out of them all summer split. TSM TSM TSM

there's nothing wrong with playing around your engage tools. picking fights when you don't have the tools up is asking to lose. tsm played around the kennen flash. mata solo dumpstered TSM. stop finding excuses to build up your favourite team

TSM really fucked up their second draft is about all I took away from that game.

what you dont understand is doublelift on the world stage

I think TSM is the one who needs a new gameplan. Other than Sven's early game, the team looked awful. I have to admit, it was great seeing Doublelift get owned after slamming every other NA team.

The problem is that TSM has a philosophy of building their teams to solely win NA. This has always been their problem and why they never do good at Worlds.

The way I see it, there was a lot more to the game than JUST Mata on Ali. Uzi was able to win bot lane 1v2 against Egolift and Biofrost, which gave Mata the freedom to roam in the first place. Bjerg (most overrated mid ever) was able to pick a lane counter against Xiahou and did nothing with it. He was virtually a non factor except in clearing minion waves. Sven's Lee play was good, but totally failed to help his bot lane overwhelm a solo add, give his star mid a kill, punish Mata for roaming.....basically he got a lead and pissed it away. Meanwhile RNG played as a group and all ended with solid stats. We'll see soon if TSM and NA should be relegated to one guaranteed Worlds slot and have to fight for wildcards next year.

I've always said that TSM is overrated. They were hyped to hell and back by the western casters, but they're still a western team and the west hasn't been on par with Korea since S2 and is rarely on par with China, last season Europe wasn't bad but they were clearly still worse than Korea. NA has never been competitive internationally.

I saw everyone shoeing in TSM for first simply based off of their results in NA, no other basis at all. I didn't and still can't understand why, sure TSM were the kings, they were the kings of the plebs. Coming second in China or third in Korea is at least as impressive as coming first in NA, I'd argue more so.

oh shit what happened to that

Meh. TSM tried to cheeseball steal the Lee Sin after Bjerg QQ about those orbs again. Those Bjerg shockwaves were too stronk that game. Did he even hit one besides the last kill on AListar as his nexus died? TSM got rekt as usual at worlds. Maybe YOU should see more reality rather than bandwagoning.

OOOOOOO A zombie thread. 8 out of 10 zombies think TSM brains would be tasty.
2 out of 10 zombies declined to eat the coach saying his brain is little more than a snack.
The 11th zombie started drooling when we asked the question so we high tailed it out of there and ended the survey.

I think was really the composition that was TSM's weak point in that they had nothing to really deal with the Alistar and this resulted in an explosion engage from both the rumble and the Hecarim pretty much deleting anyone.

I think both teams played pretty damn well but when it came down to team fights TSM couldn't stand up.
