Thank You LCS
I've gotten some egg on my face for all my TSM hate, but despite that these playoffs have been awesome so far. There's been a few snowballs sure but many very close and very intense games. Much improved the regular season split IMO.

If you're interested in watching more League of Legends that's been turning out good, I recommend checking out the LCK and LPL matches as of late. Especially LGD.
With that said, hat's off to you for owning up to being mistaken/surprised. Most people will make excuses. Have an upvote.
Yeah, I was surprised the "Tilt them on the first game" joke actually worked. Immortals threw the first two games trying to get fancy thinking they could just walk over TSM. Immortals really could and should have won, but they FINALLY got TOO cocky and complacent. They came in totally new and fresh as an organization expecting it to be hard to make a name so they took every single match seriously. Now that they've seen what they can do and almost seem to expect the win they are slacking like it's scrims. TSM showed up big and IMT didn't expect to actually have to work against a 6th place team. They slammed C9 after the first game and then glass-jawed a cocky IMT.
Triple adc with a Lucian top and NO tank? Really? Your support goes Karma out of nowhere when he sees a Soraka ban when Janna was clearly his winning strat all season? Not even the Alistar so at least they had SOMETHING tanky? They saw the Kalista first pick on TSM and coulda took the Alistar, but didn't. And the Urgot into Zed was a counter pick for sure, but was winning the lane against Berg on stage worth what else he coulda picked that woulda made more of an impact? He had about a 46% win rate from what Phreak said (taken with a grain of salt) and you just know Pobelter did it to fuck around.
IMT let me down. I was a HUGE fan of them because of their mentality and diligence to being so mechanically sound. Watching Huni and Reignover in their little spotlight vids kinda pissed me off since I liked IMT for their sheer professionalism in performance on stage. Seeing them act so smug and then got stomped 3 games in a row by TSM just kinda left a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
