TSM Is The KIng of Optimal Generic Strategy Execution

Vs the best teams though, you need way more true understanding, adaptation, flexibility and just cleverness in general. This is what I see every Worlds from them. TSM perfects the meta but is ultimately a very predictable team devoid of innovation. This works to crush your region but it fails at the international level.

This belongs on the Esports board.

I don't even think TSM are the best team at executing the hardcore meta. I mean, compared to Royal/korean teams, they're not even close

PS : maybe this belongs in the esports tab

Yeah honestly this year it is SKT doing the super generic meta and winning hard.

Meh. SKT is not convincing at all. They had super shaky games. Their lategame teamfighting remains extremely good, but they don't play dominantly or have a gold lead. They play on the backfoot and come back later. The MSF series is a great example and they almost lost. They would have if not for MSF throwing in game 4 actually.

I'd said crush the region is an over statement. A lot of their wins aren't that convincing tbh and they don't demonstrate powerful early games.

I think perfecting the meta and being flexible is a bit of a lie when any other regions teams doing the same thing ends up crushing them internationally, not even talking Korea

If you mean relative to NA I guess I could give you that

tsm perfects the meta

TSM just aren't a good team. You can run mental gymnastics all you want, but they have gaping holes in their drafts and their play consistently.

TSM is the most predictable team ever. I've been saying it for ages: pick something non-meta and you automatically win. Let's not forget Inori's Rengar last season.
