I have Misfits as 4th in Group D...

And I think many other people do as well. All props to them, they're playing very well.

But at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if TSM doesn't make it out of groups. Just like every other year at worlds, TSM disappoints, and chokes. Sure, they're 2-1, but they're 2-1 in a group that everyone thinks is the easiest group for TSM to be in.

They're only getting lucky in their very long games, making horrible macro plays across the board, and in today's game, being pushed around all over the map. Misfits were playing them like a damn fiddle!

I'll admit, I had TSM as first in Group D for my Pick'em, only because of how damn easy the group looked. But as this goes on, I'm starting to see the error of my ways.

Tsm
Flash Wolves
Team WE
Misfits

Tsm is 2-1 they aren't doing that bad at all. it was just a bad game. Misfits is surprising everyone. Cant really write them off when they've been performing really well aside from todays game.

Very similar to Flash Wolves style of just waiting and waiting and waiting for 1 last fight so, the death timers are too long. I think TSM are playing well..ish, but overall it's not all that impressive. I do like a few things tho; Svenskeren walking the carries out or from harm - I remember he walked in front of Double near wolves on their side, that's smart thinking. Hauntzer is performing like a beast and is making plays happen for TSM in the early game.
However, a few things that's annoying me is like I said the long a$$ do nothing FW style play but also Bjergsen getting Syndra pick after Syndra pick, do teams not know that's all he really plays, and why isn't he bursting out people, I mean it's Syndra, You press R !
Funny how Syndra has been a meme for a good portion of a year now since she really became meta and yet, when Worlds was announced and some champions got nerfed, she didn't hmmmm, I wonder why, maybe it's Bjergsen's main champion and his main pocket pick in these International events, maybe Riot wants TSM to advance since, many people would most likely stop watching if TSM gets eliminated from Groups 3 years in a row, especially since Riot making the LCS a more franchised path and don't want to lose viewers and in turn lose sponsors etc, lots of questions and most likely, predictable answers.

I wondered after the FW game why TSM didn't prioritize Sejuani. Now I know. Holy hell, hit a USEFUL damn ult Svenskeren. TSM let Maxlore have WAY too much free rein. Keep Sven on Gragas, because he's mainly just tank utility/peel.

there is always next week but it doesnt feel like they are playing all that well. they arent being proactive. Although gotta give them props for crushing WE ( a korean team ) Misfits just wow on paper they are not good enough to get outta this group but they are def playing better than any other EU team atm. The worst part is that c9 looks way cleaner than immortals or Tsm and there the play in team. I hope alll 3 get outta groups. But if they do Skt and longzu are gonna 3-0 every one of them .
