dyrus and turtle gotta go. santorin needs an ultimatum; form some kind of synergy with someone and learn how to read the game.

clg never even went this hard in the "fuck our own top laner" strategy. damn

name replacements pls

Fnatic did it in sub 32 minutes
SKT did it in sub 31 minutes
AHQ finished 29 minutes on the dot
Congratulations to EDG for being the fastest of the bunch, completing the tutorial level clocking in under 26 minutes

I love Reddit sometimes.

Spoiler

I hate it most of the time.

i can summarize every TSM loss like this

Step 1.) Dyrus dies
Step 2.) Santorin doesn't do anything
Step 3.) Repeat 1/2 until everyone on your team has a 1k gold lead at 8 minutes.

Sounds like CLG when the had Sep/Dexter.

Jesus christ.

That'd only make them worse.

You can't be serious.

it doesnt matter who their ad and top are if they do the same shit every game

 

[Stone Ocean]

Pretty much

TSM basically played like CLG 2, even if they had a superior top/bot lane like CLG the result is the same if your jungler plays this way. Bjerg being irrelevant isn't helping either

 

[cHinzo]

I at least expected some adjustments of TSM after day one. It just was the same every game. Lose lanes, zero pressure on the map, farm a bit more and then lose the game. Hardly any great plays were made. :/ They were way too overhyped before MSI, damn.

that falls on loco and the analysts as much as it does the players. maybe more so.

 

[Cuddler]

As an inSec fan, it's a little boring to see junglers always plays the same champions, hopefully this will change in the semifinals.

Wait, Chogath is back too? Im so behind in this new meta

Are they big and fat? If answer is yes they are in meta.

For some reason i didnt think that would apply to mid and botlane

[Omnicent]

wow, same thing happened to FNC. one bad team fight

 

[Macattk15]

My god. What a fucking throw.

Damn, Easyhoon's Azir doing work.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Holy shit SKT

so disciplined

The EDG/AHQ series tomorrow should be epic

 

[Prototype Viktor]

dam how did lustboy win the game before it even started...what a god...

how did Lustboy get more kills then Bjerg in that game as Bard...oh yea b/c they wouldn't have Bjerg play any burst AP champ

 

[HORRORSHØW]

going into brackets stage:

edg looks scary
skt looks vulnerable
ahq looks solid
fnc looks inconsistent

 

[Nekofrog]

wouldacouldashoulda

if anything it shows that tsm's problems go straight to the core and isn't limited to just the bad players. if you have that kind of draft every game, there's literally no hope for them going forward globally.

 

[theprodigy]

not that it matters, but if there was a two-way tie in groups would there have been a tiebreaker match?

 

[Cybit]

AHQ basically turned into 8 year olds trying to desperately not mess up rather than trying to win. Feels like they just froze up and became so, so scared. Was hoping for more games tonight too.

 

[WesternHeretic]

not that it matters, but if there was a two-way tie in groups would there have been a tiebreaker match?

if AHQ would of beat SKT there would of been a 3 way tie with AHQ, EDG, and SKT all at 5-1.

So then you would have SKT vs AHQ, SKT vs EDG, and AHQ vs EDG. And it that somehow ended up in a 1-1-1 I think Riot would just lose their god damn minds or something.

 

[Imperfected]

I don't get the SKT composition versus Fnatic. I guess if you want to run Juggermaw with Lucian you can, but why Alistar into that composition? You don't really need a bodyguard if you're front-lining your ADC anyway, and there are better supports for engage, disengage and general contribution. I missed pick/bans, were Janna/Morgana/etc. all banned or something?

I said in a hypothetical two-way tie (i.e. if Fnatic beat SKT, then SKT/EDG at 4-1 and AHQ/FNC at 3-2)

Then it would just be AHQ vs FNC for 3rd place.

 

[Leezard]

What a fall from grace for TSM, considering their shit talking and being hyped up as a top 3 team. Considering how far ahead TSM seemed against the other NA teams, NA as a region looks really weak.

 

[Newt]

All of the west looks pretty weak, imo.

 

[Edwardo]

Yeah. The biggest franchises usually have the shittiest fans .... due to there obviously being a bigger pool of douches to pull from.

IE ... Yankees, Red Sox etc .....

Woah woah woah

 

[SuperBowser]

man, that Fnatic vs SKT game.

So dumb that it got ruined by that bug at baron river. That bug has existed for a long time, I've died in a few matches the same way.

 

[Achtius]

What bug is it.

I'm not sure what TSM are meant to have said? But I don't think anyone really considered them a top 3 team outside of blind fandom and investing too much in a joke tournament the strongest League didn't even show up to.

 

[SuperBowser]

sometimes when you dash over a wall, the game semi freezes and transports you back, but your spell stays on cooldown. it effectively screws you.

SKT got a free teamfight and baron out of that bug.

I can't find the link now but I think Dyrus said EU will get wrecked as well.

Wow. That's definitely something bold to say from TSM - it seems like they did not see any other region to play. Because if their selfconfidence was really so high before MSI then I think they need someone stronger as leader or trainer to keep them in reality.

 

[Leezard]

Here's the proper Dyrus quote

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SoQpYma-OcA#t=371

"We're probably gonna see the most disappointing performance from Europe".

 

[Arrage]

Please keep in mind that Riot asks players to trash talk for those mini-videos. You can never be sure whether it is a legit trash talk and player's behavior, or some PR bullshit that Riot encourages for "storylines".
