On October 09 2012 05:08 Doctorbeat wrote: I'd say that there are more mid-tier teams in NA than EU, don't know about Korea/SEA. At least more mid-tier teams that are well known. But there are a lot of promising teams out there in NA like MME.Ferus, Orbit, Legion, Team Dynamic, etc. I'd say all those teams would be valuable practice for many NA teams, especially considering that some of them have been sweeping the floor with the top NA teams as of late. It's really not like there are no teams to practice with in NA. Playing against those mid-tier teams isn't really fixing the problem, though. The teams may be decent, but they are nowhere near M5, WE, Frost, or the other top teams in the finals right now. And that is the caliber of team you have to play against if you want to make it to their level. TSM is the top team NA, with few others being close if they are playing seriously. That is basically the bar for NA teams if they are scrimming against each other. TSM isn't get much out of it besides maintaining their mechanics and some practice with new compositions, but the other teams would be able to improve to the level of TSM. For example, in his Reddit AMA after the loss, Dyrus talked a bit about how he preformed in the games and it basically came down to him admitting he was not as strong of a top laner against Frost because he couldn't get away with a lot of the mistakes he usually makes. There is no one else in NA that he can play against that will punish his mistakes as well as the top teams around the world will, so he can't (or it would be very hard to) fix them. It is the same for the other lanes along with things like positioning in team fights, late game decision making, even champion selection strategies. When they are already better in those categories than anyone they practice against: 1. Mistakes will not be punished, and therefore go unnoticed. and 2. Any known mistakes will be nearly impossible to fix, because it is hard to tell the difference between stomping someone and stomping that same someone slightly harder. And that slight difference becomes much more pronounced against a top-tier team, resulting in the 0-2 TSM faced. | ||

You could say that PDD or Caomei were in the exact same state a couple months ago--Chinese top lane play was absolutely abysmal. Caomei regularly fed first blood in lane while PDD was already quite good, there weren't exactly other Chinese server teams that had good top laners. Now look how far Chinese top lane play has come since then. If you need to look overseas for practice, you take the ping disadvantage and do it. | ||

And he and the rest of Dignitas stream a lot less than other NA teams. One of the reasons they didn't scrim Curse was because Curse streams their scrims and they didn't want that to happen. Dig went to Korea and scrimmed every day all day there. I don't see why they would make up not being able to get scrims in NA. | ||

I was sure about annie bot, too... but then i played against malzahar bot a few times. That ult is soooooo annoying -.- Though i still run away from Annie Bot every time she has the stun ready and wait for one of my teammates to get bursted down :p On October 09 2012 05:58 Lmui wrote: Alright, I've found a good way to reward the soloQ supports. Always honor your support, they're playing arguably the least popular role and deserve it. As long as they make a good faith effort to help you lane, they're 100% worth honoring. If they don't mess up (too much): Friendly If they ward properly and play well: Teamplay My rule of thumb, though recently i get a lot of really, really bad supports that get neither from me. | ||

However I'm fairly certain that not all of TL is North or South American... You can argue this way, but when people say "I am an American" they mean that they are U.S. citizens/born in the U.S. | ||
