Here are my top 5 picks for players performing higher than anyone might have thought in the pre-season. Give it a read and let me know what you think. Do you agree? Disagree? Want to give a shout-out to another player that has been impressing you? Let me know.
TL- Lourlo needs to step it up and go beyond even further past super tank and to super super tank because TL needs a carry because Goldenglue is whatever, Reignover is trying to find Huni, and TL's bot lane sucks.
CLG - Aphromoo ok what happened to his shotcalling ? Seriously it went from 14 kills and 9.9 deaths a game with only 4-5 towers lost to 27 kills 30 deaths 11-12 towers lost gosh! Like has he gotten bad at it now or what?
Also who tells Darshan to go in as a supertank but the team doesn't follow? Darshan will be 1v4 while the other 4 members of CLG are in the back watching like HELP him it's 4v5 in your favor and he's tanking everything. Either engage with Darshan or don't engage in stupid ways like you have been doing.
TSM - Looking better since week 1. TSM members mainly Bjergsen and D-Lift have a bad habit of focusing on CS more so than helping the team. Really D-Lift but Bjergsen does it too, I understand pushing a wave into the enemy tower but when someone is in trouble and you focus on 1-2 minions c'mon! Hauntzer died so many times since joining TSM where he would get tower dove 1v2 and he would see the dive going to happen but it doesn't happen for 1.2.3.4.5.6.7 secs then once 7 secs are up Hauntzer is fighting under tower for 1.2.3.4.5 secs and dies. Bjergsen makes half of the mid to top journey so many times to get free blues but to take 3-4 more steps to get a double kill but nope too hard! 2-3 cs> 2 kills.
I mean Bjergsen roaming was the only reason TSM beat SSG at Worlds so a suppose a winning method other than "camp mid" is too hard!
NV- Seraph sucks plain and simple. NV needs a new top laner to be successful if not it's 10th place until they do.
C9- Once the poke support meta ends so will C9's high of being a top team. If the meta changes to lane dependent where Sneaky has to rely on his lane 2v2 it's over.
EF- Getting better but they need to find a new mid laner in the future. Having Froggen is cool and all and adds a "hey support our team we have 1 of the Greatest mid players in the world on our team" but honestly Froggen has been mediocre since 2014 summer. I understand he has had a "team" since 2014 but he hasn't changed his playstyle ever! 4 players needing to change their playstyles or 1 player Hmmmm?
IMT- Improving is #1; winning Split should be nowhere near their objective they can try to win this Split but be reasonable and just improve for right now k IMT. Young team, young org, just improve and work together right now.
P1 - becoming a #1 team in my opinion. Should be deadly by Summer
DIG- same thing as stated with P1 will only get better with time.
FQ - Will fall back to earth; as Moon can't steal Reignover's power much longer and we have no choice but to resort back to his #1-2 worst junglers in NA.
