....Show up in worlds and take a world NA spot and waste it you mean, They can't get out of group just like this so they should not even get world if they can't get out of group in over 3 years.

Lol.

Get to an international stage and play under pressure like that. Then come talk to me.

Totally I'm not a pro you are right about that but if TSM always get to go to worlds and 80% of a international event and never make it out of group stage then no they do not deserve to go to worlds 2017. All they do is win NA LCS Spring/Summer but the real game is at worlds where the best of the best shows up. You can't say they are under the pressure since they must had got use to the pressure from going to worlds 100% of the time and 75% of MSI and not doing anything.

Tell me straight out are you just a TSM fan? What if C9 or maybe lets say Team Liquid got to go to practically every world event but never get out of group stage, do you think they should be able to still go the worlds if all they do is waste a spot for world and never make it out of group stage?

If the other NA teams can't even beat TSM, they aren't going to do any better internationally. It isn't "wasting" the NA spot, it's just that NA is a weak region in general. And if you try and pull the "c9 got out of groups last year" argument, they had a much easier group and got completely destroyed when they went up against an actual good team

Yeah. Other than that fact that they have indeed done better, they're not going to do any better Nice one.

Well which one are we talking about? C9 who had actually been able to get out of group stages in world? or CLG destroyed hater and doubters after kick DL and not only won the spring split but was able to be 2nd place at MSI? Also Yes I will pull out the C9 because they are at least able to get out of group stage not only one time but 2 times, so what is TSM excuse of not getting out of group stage in over 3 years did they get all the hard team 3 times in a row? Also don't say they didn't get hard team because you clearly don't know how the match making was done for groups then.

Yes, I am a TSM fan. That hardly matters though. I would root for any NA team that made it to worlds/MSI.

The whole point is to bring the best of each region to MSI. TSM beat every other NA team. Doesn't matter if C9 could have done better. The fact is, they didn't. That's life.

Youre out of your mind if you think there's no pressure. Look at yourself. Youre pissed TSM lost, right? Everyone here is. How do you think they feel? How Reggie feels? I bet Turtle is scared to hell he'll get kicked or something. He got caught out way too much.

TSM didn't make it. Oh well. CLG did NA amazing work last year. We won't do well every year man.

I'm not piss TSM lost I'm just annoyed out they keep on taking a spot in a international stage and always losing it. If they can't come out big in a international event then move aside and let the other NA team go to worlds because TSM can never step up.

Raiyza1 votes

I apologize for misunderstanding. Everyone is giving off an angry vibe here.

I agree, it is annoying that TSM couldn't pull the trigger at MSI this year. My guess is they were deathly afraid that one of them will fuck it up, like Turtle has done throughout MSI or Svenskeren.

Honestly, I don't think the other teams would have done better. In fact for me, TSM had the best potential. C9 comes second. I'd rather take the highest potential anyday, even if they have a off-putting history. I watch the splits closely. Other teams would not have won against GAM.

You can't waste NAs spot. All NA teams will disappoint equally when it comes showing up at Worldsany international event. The fact that you think otherwise is just comical.

Clg 2nd place MSI last year and C9 gets out of group soooo no not all NA team will disappoint.

KazaLyn Shao2 votes

Why is everyone so surprised? No NA team in the history of the sport has ever put on a good show on the international stage. Everyone's like, "ZOMG C9 SOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER ON INTERNATIONAL THAN TSM!" By what? Like 2 games? They don't clear group stage either. They do a tiny bit better, admittedly, but then they follow the NA doctrine of sucking ass at literally everything and go home crying to solo queue. North America will NEVER make an impact at this game on the international stage. It is not physically possible. The mentality, discipline, and willingness just to stack all the best players on one team instead of spreading them out across a 5 stupid organizations that all disappoint equally just isn't there. Delete TSM, C9, CLG, and all other NA organizations. Fire 98% of the player populate. Keep the top 8, put them on a team. Run just 1. Or go home crying to group queue year after year. Guess which option NA will pcik?

Who cares about the LCS? The league that makes the smallest and most insignificant impact on the international stage? Literally zero fucks given. Prioritizing LCS over Worlds is just one of the many reasons NA sucks the sweat of a dead donkey's balls. If you'd like to continue that honored tradition be my guest.

Oh yes, genius idea. Destroy an entire league so NA can be somewhat relevant for a month out of the year. Ok.

Even if you took all the best players in NA and put them on one super team, they still aren't going to beat SKT.

Except that CLG made it to Finals last MSI and C9 made it out of group last worlds... TSM is the outliner here cause they are always our 1 seed and practically the face of NA and they have never made it out of group...

C9 advanced purely on the draw, with a record worst than TSM, and got promptly ass kicked clean out in the next round. Making it in on a technicality doesn't make you better than the team you always lose to in your own league. Just luckier.

Didn't they group have SKT, FW in it? And I MAY played good. They group was pretty even outside of SKT obviously. If Anyone made it out of groups due to draw is H2K.

FW played just as bad in that group as they did in the early stages of MSI, if not worse. They were getting dumpstered on by everyone, save their SKT donation that seems to always come every tournament.

I mean, if you want to play that game H2K got a group with no Korean team, then got to play against a wildcard in the QFs, before getting dumpster ed by the first Korean team they played vs.

Zero fucks given. They're all garbage teams, H2K, TSM, and C9. I don't get why you think I'm going to be offended by you pointing out that one team is just as shitty. They're all bad. That was my point to begin with. C9 fans just refuse to believe C9 is just as garbage as TSM when in reality all NA teams are equally worthless. EU was just competing with NA on who could suck more donkey balls that year.

Except they faced the number one seed from China (which at the time was thought to be good). That wildcard team beat your or so good NA team and the number 1 seed in EU aswell. They didnt really get dumpstered though game 1/2 were close, but there is no difference in that with any other team. Other than that we made it to semi's and you didnt.

And ofc, C9 going trough because Meteos could finally hit a Lee Sin Q after 50 minutes :D.

There'a s big difference between 3-3 and 1-5 and you know it.

Idd 3-3 doesnt get you to semi's at worlds or out of groups at MSI 2017.

They only had to take one game off EDG to advance. They couldn't do it. And "blah blah we made it to the semis blah". I missed the part where I'm supposed to care. You didn't personally make it to the semis and I didn't personally get rekt by EDG back to back. I don't get why you think I have some emotional ties to players I have nothing in common with just because I live in their region. NA and EU were competing for who's the bigger joke region last year. NA won, but EU sure did make a strong second place sucking.

? They took two games of EDG, tiebreaker and 1 normal game.

Who are we talking about here? Because TSM got the boot because they had a tied record with EDG, but were 0-2 against them in their group, so EDG went through by default. No tie breaker was played.

You are aware that C9 cleared group stage at worlds last year right?

Not to detract from your point (which has merit) but suggesting that no NA team clears group queue is ridiculous.

As a second issue with your statement: Maybe we should just delete all teams internationally, put the top 5 players from each region on a single team, and run worlds for a week each year and call ourselves a sport? Perhaps maybe we should just reduce professional LoL Play down to, say, the top 30 players internationally and let them all circle jerk each other for a couple hours.

I appreciate the frustration at NA being unable to perform...I think most of us here feel the same way...but that's an issue with NA, not with the fact that there's 10 teams.

The biggest problem with NA is we have no team that excels at coming out strong in a single game that also plays strong consistently enough through a match that it matters. C9 and CLG are both CONSISTENTLY stronger game 1 of a match than TSM is...which is why they do much better than TSM in international tournaments. HOWEVER TSM is a stronger MATCH player than either of those teams...which is why they always win LCS since the entire LCS is a Bo3/Bo5 tournament. Were LCS to be held as a Bo1 Tournament TSM would have come in toward the bottom of the pack based upon their record (50% loss game 1 through the LCS).

And here's a hint: Putting the 5 best NA players on one team would not work out how you'd think.

Yes, they cleared on an easy draw and promptly lost in the very next round. Huzzah. They even had a worse record than TSM when they advanced. That's the same as winning the spirit award in the special olympics.

Calm down getting a #1 seed doesn't matter anyhow, I mean look at what NA did with a #1 seed last year anyways.
Also, maybe not having a #1 seed will help NA as Eu was the 5th best region last at MSI and one of their 3 teams had an easy group vs EDG/AHQ and INTZ.

Miror B1 votes

Yeah, that's different though. EU developed 2 "quality teams" between spring and summer, as splyce was terrible/fighting in relegations and the gap between G2 and the rest of EU was waaaay bigger. TSM losing their #1 seed is sorta a bad news/good news thing, as although that means that groups will theoretically be harder for NA teams I highly expect the LMS to better use that spot and potentially make it out of group stages (as one of the excuses for past worlds performances was their inability to beat the #1 seeds).
