TSM saw a bug. They reported it. RIOT, NOT TSM, made the decision to remake.
TSM was ahead in gold at the time of the pause/remake.
Stop blaming TSM. If you really want to make excuses for CLG, blame Riot. Or CLG themselves.
Another point: If your mid laner has to rely on a single champion in order to win, they shouldn't be your mid laner.
I am a full out CLG fan, and i completely agree with this call. Did the bug in all honesty hurt CLG? Probably a bit, but not as much as some say. All in all it was a game breaking issue and a remake was the correct solution.
There have literally been millions of games on this patch. There have been 4 weeks since the patch went live after testing. Riot should have caught this. Being salty about a massive failure seems reasonable. Being salty about a suddenly shifted playing field seems reasonable. Is that TSM's fault? No. Should people be upset about this happening? Probably.
I think it would have been the same decision if the roles were inverted. Overall I think it was a legit call.
I agree, although Huhi played the most champions in this split, he doesn't really rely on just one. What you said makes complete sense, though
I am a CLG fan although I look at myself more as a NA fan in total. I wanted CLG to win and was sad about the bug and remake. But fair is fair and I saw no problem with it. TSM is playing better than anyone in NA currently and they showed it. I am sad CLG lost, but also happy to see TSM playing so well currently. I really want NA to make a run this year at worlds and assuming CLG makes it to worlds I feel they could maybe make it out of group stage. And if I am correct and TSM can 3-0 them then maybe that is an indication of TSM making a great run at worlds which would be amazing.
Ultimately NA > EU so we should all be happy hear in NA no matter who wins :).
It was his best champion. No one said it is all he can play. TSM were never going to waste a ban on it and they probably practiced with it. It already was a very low picked champions and the issue has never happened before, so people were surprised by the champ being banned. KT just played Aurelion sol yesterday and the issue never came up. Was no reason to completely ban the pick in the series since there was no guarantee of it happening again since this is the first time it has ever been reported in pro play.
Basically perma ban a gangplank, ekko, rek'sai, braum, gragas. see if the teams perform the same on each game without those.
Im happy TSM won, nothing against any of the teams. Just doesn't seem fair he didn't get to show what Sol can do.
But hey, they still got a chance to play again so we will see if he picks Sol and does anything.
Uhh I'm sorry, but what was the bug everyone here is referring to?
