I like TSM, but letting thresh go through for 3 games in a row was the equivalent of inting imo. Game 2: Hakuho's Thresh participated in 15/17 kills Game 3: Hakuho's Thresh participated in 12/13 kills (Deathless) Game 4: Hakuho's Thresh participated in 10/16 kills

TSM banned Rakan all 4 games for some reason and Zven played Ezreal 0/3 possible games. Zven literally picked what champion Apollo just beat him with each game too.

If anything, TSM lost because of their bad pick/bans and Zven/Mithy being more or less useless.

You saying it was the coaching staff's fault that TSM lost.............................they have a Korean coach! Koreans are too smart and powerful compared us, Western mortals.

Bjergsen is a god! Sure Bjergsen plays passively only because he has no time to fight against weaklings.

Zven-Mithy 4 straight Eu Final Championships(That region that always gets further than NA). There is no real evidence other than WE cost TSM the Finals and now some other team has no choice but to represent NA at MSI!

Last 7 years TSM was just playing with the competition they weren't really trying until now! They were bound for greatness and this was the year(not the last 7) but NOW they are gone because of us.

RIP TSM

I can feel it. I am glad they are out as well =D. interested to see if there is actually a change in the style of bjergsen (and consequently the team since tbh the style of bjergsen often reflects the team) or if they will just try it again the same way and then even if they make it to worlds they will make the same mistakes

If you're asking if Bjergsen will "change" his style of play I'll tell you the answer right now - NO! He's been that passive/ stays even mid for 7-8 years now and it's not going to change. Not only that but the game has also changed from previous years. No longer are players getting those 4.4-5.0 kills per game(aggressive) but really instead it's around the 3.3-3.7 kills per game in much passive play.

Not necessarily. Sure the coach probably helped make the decision to keep banning Rakan. But it's likely because Zven and Mithy have problems with the Xayah Rakan duo. That isn't something that can be fixed by a coach in a short term. And recall when Reggie at the beginning of the split bragged TSM didn't need any practice and hadn't had much. Sounds to me like that was Reggie's decision. Not the coach's. Well you can never get back practice lost. Perhaps if they'd taken a month like other teams did, Zven and Mithy could have worked on Xayah and Rakan.

Teams composed of individuals compete at worlds. Regions don't. Who cares what Fnatic did two years ago? 3/5 of that team is in NA now and one is retired. Mithy and Zven (he had a different handle then) made it to semis with Origen but when he and Zven went to G2, neither of them made it out of groups either. And in 2016, their group was every bit as easy as TSM's in 2017. So it isn't like they didn't have some choking before they got to NA.

As for TSM, well Reggie sets the tone. And the tone he set this split was a bad one. Will he learn from his mistake? We'll see come summer split.

TSM got destroyed. Can we just disband them now? We need to never send them to worlds ever again.

You acting like they "choke" at Worlds every year or something. You remember um..............um.... 2014 Yeah, see didn't see that coming, did you? Did you? 2016 Bjergsen had a really bad cough or something and 2017 he had to use the bathroom against MFS so he had no choice but to INT in 20 mins so he could use the bathroom. Sorry, he's human- when you gotta go you gotta go!

But this is the year and TSM needs our energy now more than ever! Give them your energy!
