TSM needs to disband
Bjerg should go to a better team, but the team itself is nothing but an embarrassment internationally. They are consistently a let down on international stages...enough is enough. They must pay the piper some time.

My big issue with TSM is that most of their losses internationally tend to be due to extremely poor drafts. Their Jayce pick during their final game at worlds still has me scratching my head. They always seem to veer away to what worked well for them domestically. It's like they go to Korea and do the boot camp and have some kind of revelation on what is strong so they try to mimic what they see over there, even if it doesn't fit their usual play style.
The "Protect Turtle" comp from their first game against GAM with Bjergsen in a supporting role... I almost wanted to turn off my stream right then and there. Nothing against Turtle (I think Jason is great as a person), but he is no DoubleLift. With DL, they might have been able to pull it off. Without getting too much into the DL vs. Turtle debate...
Their draft against SKT - They were already expected to lose, but giving over Lee Sin to Peanut while denying themselves Lulu/Karma... they may as well have just closed their clients and walked off the stage.
I just hate how they keep losing games by handicapping themselves before they even get on to the rift. If they're going to lose, at least lose with a draft phase that gives them a statistical chance to win.
This Summer split and this season's worlds may be their last best chance with DoubleLift coming back. I don't really see him having any trouble winning the spot over Turtle. He is better all around and he also makes Biofrost better.
Sven had 4.9k damage done to champions in their last game against WE. Something is wrong here.
And why should they do it? They arent funded by community. They dont owe anyone anything.
Because they take a slot other NA teams could use. Even though they do well in splits, they clearly don't have what it takes to even be the least bit competitive internationally.
You think C9 or CLG would do better? lol whatever dude
C9 would have done better, and has proven they do better than tsm on international stages
yet c9 hasnt done better... as long as there is the korean server no one in NA will beat them so it dont matter
c9 made it out of groups at worlds, tsm has not
and they did nothing else
and who when this happen who were they grouped with/against ?
did you watch the games tsm played today? they look worse than a challenger team
so
name a team in NA that beats TSM and wins the NA consistently
clearly, winning NA is a niche skill that has no applicability to general international play
so you avoid the answer the question ?
the answer to your question is implied in my response. beating TSM is not an indicator of your ability to play at worlds
yet NO NA team has done good at worlds
not even coming close to finals
so NA isnt good enough to compete with the teams from Korea or China
compete with SKT? no. compete with china and korea in general? yes.
but they dont... they normally lose best of 5 series vs those teams history shows that. so it dont matter if you delete TSM and give another team the NA they arent gonna win
if you get rid of TSM, then bjerg is free to go to C9 and form a much better team than current TSM
.
lol why would he go to C9? he would be a FA and most likely would go back to EU
lol im not a fan of any of them ... im objectively unbias here

So China....
Like the Chinese team WE that TSM dominated yesterday? Oh I bet you feel intelligent making that comment now.
I am not saying he would, my point is that TSM is 100% bjerg. There's a reason TSM does particularly bad when they put bjerg on a utility mid and not a carry mid. Bjerg smashes NA midlaners and carries them in the split, if you replace bjerg on TSM then they would never perform at all even in LCS
Do you not understand english, Paquay? I said THEY CAN compete with china...you're stupid LOL
Don't forget about Haunzter dude...Haunzters a beast too
he is good , most likely the best top laner of NA
but NA teams dont play and think on the same marco level of LCK team like SKT
back in the day the NA was all about win lane win game snowball as hard as hell and stomp people but if you dont do that and make a mistake you have no room for comeback.
there is a game where a team purposely picked a comp that went double tear stacking champs and let the enemy push and get all outer turrets because it benefit them to turtle and make the enemy over extend and draw the game out as they stacked tear items and out scaled the enemy...
It was a fairly easy group for C9, just one major threat, CLG had the easiest but still shit the bed hard, and TSM had the most difficult group to get out of.
Lol need us remember how much easier C9s group was? When the teams you advance ahead of is FW and I May as opposed to TSM losing to Samsung and Royal Never Give Up, those teams were no were close to equal lol, so that's not a valid argument.
No one respected SSG even into the finals. Sure they are a Korean team, but if you are going to use that an excuse then TSM should just give up now.
But Samsung was way better than I May and FW at worlds lol, that's my point is that they were better than the teams in C9s group minus SKT of course. And TSM still took a game off them where C9 got clean 3-0d in quarters against Samsung
Yes, C9 took WE to game 5, meanwhile TSM can't even make it out of group lmao

C9 would have done better, and has proven they do better than tsm on international stages
So TSM should disband because they beat C9 in play offs?
TSM should disband because they've had more chances to succeed than any other NA team and they consistently show they are incompetent

So why are they beating all other NA teams then?
because bjerg is the best mid laner in NA. Bjerg is tsm win condition, sometimes hauntzer. If you put bjerg on C9, then c9 would be astronomically better than current TSM

TBH i disagree. I believe Froggen is best NA mid laner.
....huh? There are some things here that make some since but this is just hilariously wrong. Lol

....huh? There are some things here that make some since but this is just hilariously wrong. Lol
If you say so
Froggen is no where close to the best mid in Na...Jensen? Bjergsen? Hell even Pobelter imo
Yeah c9 usually ends up being Na's last hope while clg screws the pooch and gets wrecked by a wild card, and TSM gets the group of death and comes in with big expectations only to get wrecked. The diffrence is everyone expects things out of tsm and they dont deliver, but no one expects c9 to pick up wins internationally but they do up untill the koreans figure out what their game plan is. Like when they went 3-0 in i think was either last year or the year before when they came in 7th in summer split, only to have sneaky going beast mode on objectives with trist. Then the next week they dropped the ball. The year before that they beat najin and got eu's number one kicked out... im not saying tsm are bad or anything but when it comes to worlds c9 seems to have a bigger impact in groups than tsm does historically, and other international events in general. Like c9 beating uol to win iem katowice when uol was new, i cant remember the last time clg or tsm have even won an international event. Their reactive playstyle works okay in na where they have generally better solo laners but internationally they DONT have the best solo laners. IMO bench jensen give bjerg to c9, trade contracts back for memeos or reignover and then mabye NA would have a chance. Impact id leave and sneakys pretty much a staple of the team and smoothie is pretty much best support na right now. If jensen wasnt so inconsistant in one minute looking like a beast and the next looking like he forgot to turn his scripts back on id say c9 is better in solo lanes, but bjerg >jensen and i doubt contracts is expirenced enough to be picking up international wins.
maybe maybe not but they would respect there opponents you know that thing the cocky tools on tsm never do

You think C9 or CLG would do better? lol whatever dude
Yes, yes I do. Historically, TsM doesn't perform well outside their region
But that's mostly because they refuse to pick up new strategies until they go into a international match and they mess it up

CLG in fact did better last MSI.
And c9 in fact did better last worlds.
lol whatever dude
CLG stole games off of both RNG and SKT that were basically throws by those teams as each of those games those teams had huge leads going into late game. I don't discount what CLG did last year at MSI by any accounts but there was a certain element of luck involved in it, including FW being CLGs saving from having to play RNG in the semis since FW 2-0d SKT to drop them to the fourth seed. Because let's be honest, CLGs not winning a BO5 against RNG. So while they did well, they had luck on their side at the same time. And people need to stop saying C9 doing better at worlds means they're more deserving when they were by far in an immensely easier group than TSM was. Again, I'm not discounting what C9 did at worlds but if you switch TSM and C9s spots at worlds 2016, TSM makes quarters and C9 doesn't qualify.
The problem is that TSM's entire philosophy revolves around winning NA. They do nothing to build and train their team for international play until after the season ends, and by then it's too late.
Like if any NA team had a chance to win.
If you say another NA team could take the slot then they should be able to beat TSM in LCS which they can't so they're not fit to take the international spot. TSM earned what they got even so they do poorly in MSI etc. Doesn't mean they should be disband at all. TSM proven multiple times they're a strong NA team like C9 who had a great addition with Contractz jungle. Honestly we need some replacements in ADC and Jungle role if Sven can't fix himself with all these bad invades. TSM is still #1 NA team regardless what you think.
TSM need to go away a long time ago. They are toxic and just a waste of space internationally (as is all NA actually right now) but CLG and other NA times have much more diversity and team synergy.
hahahah.. Solid thread necro. +1
lol
