Getting tired of TSM losing in picks/bans

Why not stick with the types of team comps that got them to worlds and got them their wins while at worlds? In the game vs SSG they had no real frontline and their entire start was countered by a single Kench pick. In the game vs RNG they had a bunch of short range champs with no real initiation or team fight presence.

Wish they would just pick their own team comps and stick to a regular game plan rather than trying to just counter pick the other tam and have no synergy.

I almost wanted to turn off the stream when I saw that Jayce first pick.

If they had a normal comp that we have seen them wreck with and they ended up getting outplayed in a team fight, I would have been fine with the loss. But when they draft a comp that puts them in an uphill battle all game and makes their win condition based on catching someone out of position or waiting for a huge mistake... SMH.

And why is Biofrost not being put on Bard??

I still love this team, but it felt like watching the NBA finals all over again. Such a sour way to end an otherwise fantastic season.

I've always found it funny they probably pay these "coaches" and "analysts" near 100k each to do what amounts to nothing, but I guess that's just the esports vulture style.

Definitely agree with you on the RNG game. TSM was actually out-team-fighting RNG, which is one of the best team-fighting teams in the world. But their comp was so bad for team-fighting. Once they got behind they basically had no way to get back into the game. All they had to do was put Hauntzer on Gnar or Poppy and their comp is fine. The SSG game their comp was early to mid-game focused and they honestly got screwed by Bjergsen's 2 early deaths. Which is something that almost never happens, so I really don't blame them for the comp that game. But they made a lot of mistakes in that game. The SSG game, to me, is the game that will haunt the team the most.
