Krepo just send yellowpete a message in LoL, that TRM is going to be replaced by Dyrus. Does anybody know sth. about this? Yeah it got leaked on Dyrus's stream. I guess it's an upgrade but I don't think TSM's biggest problem was the play of TRM. That said if he is really burnt out and not enjoying the game, I guess it's a good move.
Maybe not in skill but Dyrus listens to you and is a teamplayer while TRM has a far worse attitude in my opinion, it might be quite important

So, who's replacing Epik Gamer's top? now that dyrus left for TSM?
Dan Dinh is streaming right now, I imagine he'll answer that question once his game is over and he checks his IRC.(And it appears he went offline immediately after his game. Just wait for Nhat or Westrice to start streaming, I guess.)
TRM is obviously a possible replacement if he still wants to play competitively and while he would probably benefit from the chill team atmosphere, I don't know if Epik's members get along with him at all.
Edit: Various posts on Reddit indicate that TRM has said he doesn't want to play competitively anymore, but is willing to fill in for Epik at IPL 4 if they can't find a new player by then.
Another possibility would be Westrice switching to top lane(something he's wanted to do for awhile) and them looking for a new AD carry.(Aphromoo would be the best candidate due how well he plays with Nhat, but v8 seems decently stable, so that is probably off the table.)

btw if Salce replaces regi, I will be biggest fan of TSM
I believe!

They can also use bobbyhankhill. He has subbed in as ad for them in the past.

reginald's attitude is toxic, i don't think getting rid of TRM is gonna change that

Far too much is made of individual player's skill. Yes it matters to an extant, but it is teamwork, strategy, and coordination that wins games. I have watched plenty of TSM scrims and they don't have an overarching strategy. There is little thought behind team picks beside pick strong champs that you are good at. Dyrus might do marginally better than TRM, but having Dyrus wouldn't have won them any games that they lost against M5. Heck, voyboy is better than both of them and it didn't matter that much.
I know others have said it but until the top teams get better at teamplay, strategizing, and countering various strats they are always going to be second to teams like M5.
This becoming a rambling post, but it seems to me that very few of the top LoL players are actually good strategists. Every top team had a whole lot of time to prepare for M5's distinctive style and there was absolutely no response to it. Like, I understand if you try something different and it doesn't work, but for this tournament they just got slaughtered doing exactly the same thing that got them beat last time.

ya but its sad that basically ppl choose fanning CLG over TSM/AON because of regi's attitude lol =(

Sometimes the best strategy is to do what you know to be true. Coming up with a new strategy is risky.

TSM won't get better until TOO and Reginald improve drastically.
It seems that TRM just got burnt out from competitive LoL and TSM.

Well, CLG.us did do a good job of shutting down what M5 wanted to do. They just, ya know, threw the games.

I agree with Petered... most "strategy" seems to revolve around getting good lane matchups and building a lead that you can snowball from midgame. In case that doesn't happen, the teamcomps have very often next to no lategame synergy.
I won't even start on TSM communication during scrims...

TOO falling behind in the jungle has to do with him not playing any farming champions, but instead support junglers who don't farm well. There are support junglers that can farm well, and there are the normal bruiser junglers who can farm well. I can't even think of any junglers he plays well besides Maokai.
Also TRM doesn't enjoy the game? The fuck is he screaming and laughing so hard on his stream when he plays? The thing he doesn't enjoy is trying to improve his play and do well, instead wants to play his same trolly shit and expects to win. He plays nothing top better than anyone else, something no other top can't do with their specialty.

just wanted to say that reginald is tsm's problem and replacing trm will do nothing.

Hopefully IEM was a humbling enough experience for Reginald that he can tone shit down.

Oh yeah, regi also is playing like shit. His gragas was extremely unimpressive and considered his specialty. He doesn't play any AP's amazingly (cept gragas) either.
Also jiji needs to play better ap, his ahri and other shit was getting stomped.
Tons of room on the NA teams for improvement.

He also plays nocturne like a support jungler. (TSM then blames TRM for the loss)
TSM has a BUNCH of issues to fix....hopefully Dyrus will expose some of them.

Saying Reginald should leave the team because of his attitude is like saying HotshotGG should leave CLG because he focuses too much on farming and isn't in the right place for team fights.
While valid points, Regi owns TSM and Hotshot owns CLG. These players do have notoriously huge flaws but the fact remains is they own their respective teams.
