Now that Team SoloMid failed to make it out of worlds yet again...

Can the lol esports staff PLEASE stop saying Bjergsen is one of the absolute best players in the world? Or at the very least comparing him to the likes of FAKER?

All of it, from a shoutcaster's cancerous comment "I would rank Bjergsen above Faker in terms of being an overall better player" in Faker and Bjergsen Legends Rising to putting Bjergsen in equal grounds with FAKER in Chase Your Legend - Xiaohu is disgustingly hyperinflating Bjergsen's skill and is in some ways an insult to both him and other players.

Yes, Bjergsen is one of the best (if not the best) player in NA, maybe one of the best in the whole Western scene, and is incredibly skilled, but saying he's on equal grounds with FAKER? A three time WORLD CHAMPION? This is just outright pure BS.

If you really wanted to make these 'super talented and inspirational' players, like for the Xiaohu video, put players like Pray, Gorilla, Bdd, Crown, Uzi, or Mata. If you want Western players, put players like Xpeke, Diamond, Soaz, or even imports (ex. Ryu or Impact). Sure the first two examples may be washed off, but ALL of the examples accomplished more than Bjergsen at least internationally.

I just think someone who never got to top 8, no matter how much his team holds him back (assuming it does), should be overhyped like this.

Sure, TSM fans may downvote me to the dust for this, but I actually think I'm doing TSM and Bjergsen a favor by writing this. I know Bjergsen himself is quite humble, and he doesn't need or want to go around showing off to us players. I highly doubt he WANTS to be shown off and overrated like this. If anything, the lol esports staff is hurting him more than they are benefitting him by doing this.

This is the quote from Bjerg's 10th spot on the 2017 Worlds top 20....

“He will always do well, and never cost you a game. But I am waiting for the tournament where he puts the team on his back.” – Deficio

So are we, Deficio, so are we.

I don’t agree or disagree, I just wanted to say this: Faker has always had the best team in League assembled around him. Faker is an outstanding player, but it’s hard to compare him to Bjergsen in a one-on-one case when the skill level of the teams as a whole just aren’t even close. League is a team game, and I’d wager that not even Faker could solo carry a team like TSM to the finals, world champion or not.

Western Faker - What a joke ! Febiven, Caps, POE, Ryu are all closer to Faker than Bjegsen

Bjergsen has not been a top tier midlaner at international level since S4 Worlds (he has been good at times, but never great since then) I don't get why people are blaming him NOW so much, when he has performed about his usual level

You can't lambaste one player on a team for it's losses, even the captain, for not being able to play Doublelift's champion for him. Can you count how many times doublelift died with flash up?
