TSM is looking shaky.

I hope TSM's logic was "we really need to practice with double globals", because holy fuck, do they ever need practice with double globals. No strategic awareness at all.

 

[Stone Ocean]

At least they can still disengage

And hey, if you kill Impact enough times something will happen, right?

 

[Leezard]

TIP is so close to throw at baron, but TSM does not let it happen.

Maokai engage is too strong.

[Prototype Viktor]

it's like every single team has TSM's number/strat/mind

 

[HORRORSHØW]

great game by tip. tsm playing scurred

 

[Pancakes]

FREESM

 

[Kotetsu534]

That whole game turned on Bjergsen getting chunked out in mid lane right when Lustboy/Santorin had called the dive on top lane, assuming they had his back up. A double global comp can't afford to hand over 4 kills for free in the laning phase like that.

 

[Fracas]

The whole "run around aimlessly and hope Bjergsen roflstomps mid then snowballs" strat doesn't work anymore

 

[Makareu]

It was interesting to see TIP so composed the whole game instead of going ham.
I hope they'll go to world.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

TSM taking a page from Regi's excellent shotcalling skills to lose all of their outer and inner towers by blowing all globals to kill a top laner.

Regi did say that he was going to take matters in his own hands

actually its hilarious how similar the situations are.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Looks like liquid is going to lose this game because they fucked the lane swap

 

[Ghost is Bad]

THE CURSE IS BROKEN

 

[Imperfected]

Dig seriously has an average first dragon time of ~19:30? This team having a winning record is an embarrassment to the entire region...

 

[AcridMeat]

I can't tell you how happy I am to see TSM lose 4 straight.

I'm done with these 1 games I can't wait to see Gravity and TIP in a 5 game series.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Why would you give up that dragon

 

[HORRORSHØW]

na is trash

 

[Imperfected]

Every week I remain completely incapable of comprehending how KiwiKid has a job.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

Haha dig what

 

[clemenx]

Bunny held onto his ulti for way too long I think.

GV got this. Altec's fucking good.

And Keane fucks up

 

[idlewild_]

Wow, all these smite steals

 

[PsychoSoldier]

That time where dig gave up a dragon for no reason is going to cost them game

 

[clemenx]

Move the smite gawd

 

[Ghost is Bad]

what the fuck this game.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

worst game or best game?

 

[Imperfected]

Another completely hopeless season for NA. Oh well, maybe Fnatic will do something at Worlds, or at least China/SEA will turn up again.

 

[clemenx]

Kiwi won that game hitting just 2 hooks out of about 1000 lol.

 

[Nekofrog]

there's a reason I have a fnatic chair guys

Spoiler

because it was the only one still in stock lol

Dunno, SKT is looking like the monster they were back in S3.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Hey, all the NA shit teams won today

worst game or best game?

Best worst game

 

[thestopsign]

Exactly what I was thinking. I main Thresh and play much better than most of what I saw there, and then he still won them the game.

 

[sleepykyo]

NA looks like such a wreck at the moment.

 

[Pancakes]

Fucking kiwikid man.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Man, NA's bracket is so tight.

 

[idlewild_]

Nien's a shockblast magnet, literally be standing next to another member and be the only one hit.

 

[Newt]

Need to get rid of Seraph. Worthless trash.

 

[Fracas]

Need to get rid of Seraph. Worthless trash.

I honestly don't get why he keeps getting second chances.

Though it's all whatever, TDK's auto relegated anyway

 

[HORRORSHØW]

WTF at this. What kind of timing is that? They're on a 6-0 streak and can take 2nd. Mannnnn

Edit: Just looked up the statement and his stats. This has to be a push from the team, cause this is straight bogus. Guy has been awesome this split.

 

[WesternHeretic]

I hope TSM keeps losing, because it just means better weekly videos from their show.

 

[Kotetsu534]

Good stuff, TiP blowing themselves up just when it looked like they were ready to mount a huge challenge in playoffs, and even secure a bye.

Check out China's new playoff format, complicated even by the intricate standards of Chinese MOBA tournaments:

http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/2015_LPL/Summer/Playoffs

So 7th seeds plays the 8th seed, winner plays the 6th. Both matches are Bo5, both losers are out, leaving 5 teams standing.

The team that made it through the preliminary bracket plays a Bo5 against the 5th seed, which serves to determine who their next opponent will be - the winner plays the 4th seed, the loser the 3rd seed. Those two matches are also Bo5s and the losers are knocked out.

Then, the two surviving teams play the 1st and 2nd seeds in Bo5s in the playoff Semi-Finals, with the winners contesting the final.

And after all that, I'm sure there will be another tournament held soon after to determine Worlds qualification (excluding the Summer Split winners, who will already be qualified I think).

 

[Blizzard]

Darn, I could have had 50+ points from a single game if I'd benched XiaoWeiXiao this week.

That's definitely one convoluted format, did they take notes from The International 2014?

 

[Leezard]

It's a gauntlet into the current LCS finals format.

 

[Imperfected]

The Gragas nerf will never stop being hilarious. Dude just slip-sliding through four members of the enemy team at point-blank range without making contact.
