If TSM was like 2-10 DL would have got to play but TSM is 10-2 which it would be mess up to kick WT and put him in

as I don't think TSM like the SKT style of switching back and forth of putting WT in and out with DL

Even if TSM were 2-10 then I doubt DL would've seen playtime (as in that "world", turtle could still not be considered the weak link). The bigger question in all of this (besides is Rito going to fix what is clearly a TDK-esque issue) is how many other teams approached DL for his "services". While I doubt some of the higher teams would've asked, you sorta have to think that teams like Dignitas/Echo Fox could've implored due to how much of a roster improvement they'd get off of him, potentially making them a top-4 team.

In actuality, no team has been able to comfortably flex subs out the way SKT has been able to do and it's only as of this split where very few other teams are actually taking that risk without throwing favoritism. Heck even SKT themselves are among those few (especially with them pretty much securing 1st for the RR) and are improving on that from their past season.

The way you word it makes it sound like you disapprove of how well TSM has been able to do with Turtle to not need to have DL on reserve which that in itself was a decision he could have made for himself anyway. And even still, TSM hasn't composed any actual success out of a flexible 6+ team roster as of yet; most teams who have attempted haven't either.
