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.
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
And why should they do it? They arent funded by community. They dont owe anyone anything.
lol
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.
