TSM should get a tiebreaker

The system that worlds uses for group stages has problems. Tonight TSM and RNG went into their game with TSM at 3-2 and RNG 2-3. With this scenario, it makes zero sense for it to be "winner take all".

What is the point of TSM having a better record than RNG if they don't get the benefit of getting a tie breaker if they lose. RNG played worse overall in group stages, and there should have been a tie breaker.

I'm not even a TSM fan. Just was looking forward to a good matchup and I feel the fans were cheated out of a tiebreaker, and TSM weren't given a proper chance.

Why would they get a tie breaker? They knew if they lost to RNG they wouldn't get one because those are the rules for worlds. At the point where they lost both games to RNG, it isn't an anomaly but shows that at the level of RNG vs TSM... RNG is simply better. In my opinion, TSM isn't that good... Bjergsen carried them through the regular season, end of story.

I think if TSm had a better record, they would not have lost 2 games to RNG

The way i see it is, if TSM won the first game against RNG and lost tonight's, there might be a argument for a tie breaker. However, they lost both games.

According to the tie-breaker scenarios TSM was given one, and they lost it due to dropping both games against the team they were tied against. I love watching TSM fail and lose to the same team over and over as much as the next guy, but enough is enough, don't make them embarrass themselves further, let the poor guys go home.
