Goldenglue is a great mid laner and a great addition to teamliquid!

After the first week I thought " Ok, he looks to finally be good and not the same Goldeglue for the past 3-4 years" but ever since the first week it's just the same story with him. To be fair tho everyone on TL looks to be playing like garbage.
Lourlo as a super tank is still pretty useless. Reignover without Huni for him to camp 24/7 has become a low tier jungler Matt and Piglet are just bad.

RO is definitely not a low tier jungler.

Yeah, I disagree entirely with that. The problem with TL seems to be the same thing with echo fox in 2016: all the other laners are doing ridiculously bad (piglet being a massive surprise as they outright chose to keep him over fenix) forcing the midlane to 1v5 carry when behind a massive amount.

LOL WHAT?

Lourlo has been considerably good except for the very last series, and Matt was good in week 1 (not good week 2)

The real problem is that Reignover has been absolutely terrible so far, and that's the major problem...Piglet while not being bad does not really make the difference in a weak talent pool of NA LCS (also because jungle+sup are not performing so well) is a minor problem, but the fact is that TL was built upon the assumption the Koreans would have carried them

The hazard with going with a NA midlaner like Goldenglue that is obviously going to be below average in comparison with the overall midlaner playing field, is that it isn't worthy to take an import in a position filled with import talent because that player, while being good, won't make enough of a difference in a strong player field for having trash NA players in the other roles; at that point you'd rather accept to lose or at best go even in mid lane but take an import in roles with poor talent that can make a huge difference

The NA players on TL are doing what was required by them in the idea of the team, heck probably even more than what required since Lourlo and the same Goldenglue are playing better than expectations (for Goldenglue the expectations were super low, but still); the Koreans are not
