TSM Advances to NA Finals and Worlds :D

TSM have a very Solo Queue esque playstyle right now. If they are where they are right now, is because of good individual performances by Bjergsen, Wild and Dyrus. Which is fine, but that style will only get you so far. Look at the length of their games, and how back and fourth they are. The team is very unorganized and very deficient when playing around neutral objectives. CLG right now feels more like a unit, and they should just take the series with no problems. But it's NA, so anything could happen.

Yea, I am not guaranteeing a TSM win or anything..... All I am saying is that saying that the #5 seed beating the #1 seed means that NA is %&$ is completely missing what has happened in the last 6 weeks.

In terms of TSM v CLG, I think that JG will be the key. I give CLG a moderate edge in bot lane and TSM a small edge mid. In the past I would have given CLG a pretty big edge top lane but Dyrus is playing really well right now.

XMithie has a tendency to do some really stupid stuff (eg face check brushes on Eve). Santorin seems more solid at the moment. If JG plays out like that, I would expect a close win for TSM.

TSM does play like solo queue. They don't. What they do it allow/make Bjersem win the game for them. TSM game is to buff up one person an let them will. That not always Bjersen but if it not Bjerson is the major support of that person.

CLG got LS9 as their new coach, which I think is a really big part of their improvement. Believe it or not, I think TDK had a really big effect on the region this year. If I recall correctly they lost literally all of their bans up until I believe the very last week of the spring split when they actually had their team. Ninja and Emperor couldn't actually attend LCS for almost the entire split/season because of either like passport issues or something else, so as fair punishment TDK didnt get any bans because they had to use subs and they had no coordination, and then they won like their last 4 games with picks that weren't even super serious, like they played Draven in one game and they actually kicked ass because they had their team and they actually got to ban.

What I'm getting at, is TDK gave like 16 free wins this season, which obviously changed the positioning of the ladder. The fact that C9 and NME pretty much gave free wins as well affected the ladder.

In an interview, Regi said that TSM was doing poorly in the split because they were almost guaranteed a spot at worlds and they wanted to try new things, and I believe them, even though half the time thats the excuse people make for losing (although he didnt blame entirely that, the entire team admitted to poor performances). They also took a few games to try Keith on ADC and they obviously wouldn't have the same chemistry as with turtle.

What Im trying to say is I dont think TSM actually really tried because they knew they had worlds basically locked down because of their lead in Championship points and the fact that they really wouldn't have to win that many games to qualify for worlds, and there were 3 ways to qualify, so they could've done whatever they wanted and still made it.

I wish NA was better too. You'd think it would be one of the better servers because of the quantity of players, but I suppose it holds true that quantity isn't always better than quality. Its also the most toxic server apparently. LS9 explained Koreas toxicity in literally one sentence lol. He typed "you're a fucking idiot. /mute" and said thats as far as it went, and said that you'd never be reported, no matter how toxic. As long as you dont afk or feed and fuck up their game, they dont care what you say, as long as you dont cause them to lose LP lol.

I really dont know how NA could be fixed lol. I think the issue is people care way too much, but at the same time dont care at all. Like under platinum it seems like theres more typing and insulting than actual playing. Like one player goes 0/2 in lane, gets yelled at then the entire team fights. Like instead of just muting them and playing they'd rather fight. I feel like more people play the game just to scream at someone rather than actually make progress lol

If half of this makes no sense and theres bad grammar and repetition, its because Im tired and Im not willing to read over this to make sure everything Im saying actually makes sense, so yeah..
