Edit: WHY was I downvoted for asking a question, what the hell? thats so fuckimg rude.

I'm not an avid NA fan. Much less a TSM fan. However, that being said, could someone please elaborate on what the hell is going on in this WE vs TSM game? Break it down for me perhaps? ELI5 maybe?

They look like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off... and I'm not talking about 15+ minutes in (even though that part is also very messy) but since the start, theyve looked... Well... To put it blunt, like a pack of SoloQ players with no coordination, no teamwork, no synergy.

This is also extrapolated by observation only, but am I far off? They look like they're sleeping on this game, looks more likr a scrim? It doesnt even seem like a Worlds Game for christ sake. And to be fair, i wanted to see TSM win, just becsuse I wanted to hope that there was even a small percentage of winning.

PS: it could very well be nerves but holy shit. I apologize if I sound ignorant but is it too far off to say that there lineup might have to be changed? Or was this just a diff of a game?

Perhaps someone who is a fan of TSM could explain this to me because I am truly lost.

Looks to me like NA is drafting and playing for last weeks meta while everyone else is adapting.

Honestly, TSM has to HAS TO put Haunzter on a carry, and Bjerg on a carry. Let them carry.

DL needs to be on a "utility ADC" and abandon this Ardent meta. Just pick a botlane that won't get bullied into dives/first turret. (Botlane is getting heavily dove, so they need a combo that won't get wrecked.)

But this is NA. We like to get hype not results.

Its standard western play. They pick meta and other teams innovate and crush the meta. You cant always just blindly follow the meta and expect that your opponents are braindead and dont know you will just pick late game meta. Its the same story every year...every...year.
