SKT's Destruction of GAM is Horrible News for TSM
TSM has struggled against one of the lower tier teams in MSI and that same teams gets wrecked by SKT. How demoralizing would that be?

TSM never plays well in chaotic games.
SKT can play every style very well.
This doesn't really provide any new information. How TSM performs against G2 and FW will be very important though.
So what happens if TSM turns it around to beat WE?
Its not that simple though... Flashwolves consistenly beats SKT, so why don't they crush every other team or win worlds?
Its not an easy answer, but perhaps the best way to understand it is to remember that in a game with multiple different strategies, there is never one single strategy that can't be countered (otherwise everyone would go with that one strategy). Think along the lines of the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors".
SKT > RNG > FW > SKT > RNG > FW > SKT > RNG >...etc.
That being said, its a bit early to say that any team has no chance in the tournament because they were upset.
CLG lost to SUP last year, didn't seem to effect them too much, though MSI as a whole was a bit more chaotic last year to be fair.
I think the game against G2 will be the best decider as to where TSM stand.
