TSM 5th place

I can see that from your icon.

They deserve less than 5th place. Just sad for how this bodes for NA. Hopefully, Liquid, Impulse and even CLG can destroy TSM during summer split. I don't wanna see TSM at Worlds because they don't show up in most international competitions.

LoL what is sad, and the OP hasn't realized yet is, TSM is the BEST that NA could offer.

C9, CG, Liquid, the rest... they would just be decimated otherwise. North America has completely failed Season 5.

Thing is, TSM didn't play to their normal level. They put Dyrus on stuff like Hecarim and Bjergsen on stuff like Cho, which is the opposite of playing their strengths. And even after their horrible pick/ban, they played with uncharacteristically bad shotcalling.

People that don't like NA have taken this as a representation of its overall level, but it was really just TSM choking. C9 actually would have done better in all likelihood.
