This week on Team Fight Breakdown we're looking at the climactic final fight between TSM and Immortals from Week 9 of the 2016 NA LCS Summer Split. 

This fight shows TSM’s great target selection and spacing, and demonstrates how both Immortals -- and TSM -- are masters of what we call “front to back team fighting.” Let me explain.

Front to back team fighting breaks up standard compositions into battle lines. Tanks make up the "frontline” and damage dealers make up the “backline.” In games like this one -- without assassins -- front to back team fighting is often the most effective type of team fighting -- and it’s what both TSM and Immortals use here.

Let’s get into it.

Zil Ult is broken. Blow every cooldown to kill one champ, but he gets revived so the fight is reset and it doesn't matter. IMT had the better early fight mechanics. TSM comp enabled the better counter. oh well, I guess.

Why didn't Kled have his mount in this video? xD Jk

But in all seriousness, all you would have to do is substitute Kled ulti for Gnar and you have the ultimate rundown comp. That would be OP

Honestly it looks like WildTurtle lost that fight for them since it was the right call to try and burn down Gnar but the Ashe ult wasn't needed once the Mal ult was down. In spite of the two great Zilean plays Ashe ult could have got them out only dropping two and they would have certainly been able to defend 3v4.
