At first C9 was looking great, but then they lose like 4 straight
And TSM was terrible from the start, with a couple games they could have easily won..
Anyone else surprised with NA's lack of play compared to their competitors ?
No. Both teams were predicted to go 0-6.
I think TSM desperately needs a 're-vamp' with new members. Get rid of Dyrus
C9 at least had a plan that worked to an extent. TSM and CLG just kind of showed up and died.
Nope, I'm surprised that C9 went 3-0 to begin with.
c9 went in with only 1 strategy. it was a really good strat but once they gifured it out i mean eh
TSM actually overpreformed.... even with the super tilted LGD and that they gave TSM Mordekaiser i still was surprised TSM actually won this. C9 just a typical 1 trick pony team... they had some luck in week 1 aswell in their games no doubt about that. They didnt change strats in week 2 and well, they got exposed and slaughterd all over the rift. They never found an answer to Kennen.
Its just known and proofed in ALL of the worlds so far... .NA is rly rly rly bad at adapting... teams pick/play diffrent things and NA teams just cant find an answer to it.
Their performances was just like u could have expected, well i had CLG to go out of groups as 2nd and then get 3-0d by whatever team they face, definatly underrated LMS teams like so often.
Terrible? C9 played great at Worlds. They were just in a very tough group. Their only bad game was the second one against FNC.
Not surprised at all by TSM other than the fact they actually won a game. They need to clean house and start over.
No. TSM was not doing well in the summer. And with Dyrus leaving, it probably did not help to improve their moral after defeats. C9 was (to be fair) winning a lot simply because their opponents beat themselves half the time. In my opinion it is CLG that surprised me by not winning. they were 2-1 in the easiest group wee one and then 2-4 at the end of groups. They were expected to place first.
Not really, no...
C9 actually outperformed. Yes, they had a terrible day on Sunday and given their 3-0 start was clearly a disappointment. But if you had said before the tournament started that C9 was going to be in a tie breaker match to get out of groups, a lot of people would not have believed you.
TSM looked out of sorts almost all summer and it only got worse at worlds. Lustboy played 1 game of League of Legends at worlds (the Thresh game that TSM ended up winning). Santorin didn't even attend; I have NO idea what the team's jungle plan is but it desperately needs a re-work.
