Spoiler Alert: IMT vs TSM
NA LCS - IMT vs TSM - Match of the Week 9
After watching this highlights answer me something, Do you think that Reginald being the coach for this game had any impact on its outcome? or TSM would've lost no matter what?

TSM would have lost no matter what.
TSM aren't a team. They are 5 guys who got in the same lobby in the queue. I find it hard to call this fiasco a "team".
I don't believe Regi was the coach on stage when they lost to Renegades last week. So I don't think we can blame Regi for this loss. Now if you want to blame him for assembling this team then by all means go ahead. Because they really don't seem to be worth the hype at all.
Yeah, TSM lost to a renegades team that is at best the 8th best out of 10 teams. Regi being there could make them better (as he is a former player and having him there wouldn't be the worst of options). That being said, they were facing immortals who while looking incredibly weak over the past few weeks is the number one team for a reason. The presence of a coach doesn't always fix massive roster problems.
TSM are displaying the same behaviors shown in this Ted Talk and this Article:

Regi probably should have taken into account these factors before this season since you can physically see the clashing egos in the game from the "big names" (DLift, Bjerg, Sven, Yellowstar) while Hauntzer is performing the most consistent over all.
Nature and human psychology have interesting effects in practice.
