I'm not saying this was an obvious fix... but...

When you have professional players not ulting on Ekko at obvious times, hitting blast cones to send you back into a team, losing team fights while having Baron, and turret diving in a clearly losing situation, I don't chalk that up to "mistakes" as the casters so bluntly put it. I chalk that up to game throwing. And when one team (that was consistently dominant all season) makes every single one of those mistakes in the final series to lose at critical moments, I don't chalk that up to chance either.

That is all. I'll take my saltiness somewhere else.

So it's not a game 5 with a lot of pressure?

I cringe everytime i see a post like this [zombie-brand-facepalm] Let me guess, the superbowl is rigged every year to

Oh boy, conspiracies abound. Lemme guess, lemme guess, the moon landing was also faked.

Thats not the match being fixed, thats players choking. It happens in real sports.

Not to mention benching Impact in favor of Ray in a critical game 5....

And for the record, why don't you stop taking the win away from TSM those five players earned that victory and this is pretty much invaididating their success as a team...grow up dude

If it was a fix, they could have at least gone for the feel-good ending instead of the utterly depressing one.

See, while I do think that, as their cash cow name brand recognized team, Riot shows TSM some leniency towards bending rules that other teams have had the book thrown at them for, I'm not quire sure how ready I am to buy outright game manipulation (beyond Bjerg occasionally complaining about a bug that wasn't actually there getting the other team's champion banned in a remake but that's a different issue).

It's actually really easy to accidentally blast off, especially in the middle on a team fight like that...and look baron throws happen everywhere, both teams were fed and had plenty of potential to win team fights...before you assume it's all rigged, take a moment and ask yourself, truly, honestly could you have played that series perfectly if you stepped in for anyone on C9? That answer is no, so get over yourself these guys aren't perfect, especially in high pressure situations
