It's really dumb they don't let Dyrus for example play the heroes they know he's good with and he's shown results with. Always liked watching Dyrus on Kayle/Vlad. And the time he picked Singed in worlds i think it was, the crowd went absolutely fucking nuts. | ||

 . Let me try this again. It's like being famous because you are famous instead of being famous because you have done things. Paris Hilton comes to mind. | ||

Looking back, it seems that the period when TSM were strong might simply coincide with a period in the meta when champs they were strong at were more strongly favored, such as Karth/Kayle/pre nerf Ez. I think Chaox in particular really benefited from the Corki-Ezreal-Graves era, as he was strong on those champions | ||

That was a period of a few months where the two teams that could remotely be considered good practice for them were not available, and instead of being proactive about looking for appropriate competition, they more or less just got complacent stomping NA events. | ||

I was never impressed with his play tbh, he looks good in terms of NA/EU scene ADC, but in international scene he looks horrid. He also had that 3dblade + PD ashe build, which made me want to tear my hair out and punch ponies. Dyrus was best during Kayle/Vlad era; dunno why he's trying to play so much Darius... >.> TOO; only shining star in current TSM lineup imo; usually the most consistent, and prevent TSM from losing early game too badly. | ||

B-teams for Asian organizations generally have gotten more mileage, both toward the improvement of the "main" team and becoming legitimate teams in and of themselves (Azubu Blaze, Najin Sword, WE.i-Rocks--plus KT and MVP having 2 rapidly improving teams right from the start). I would argue that this is in part due to the Asian teams being more proactive about playing WITH their B-teams, as opposed to CLG.Black and TSM.Evo not practicing with their main teams all that much. | ||

Gotta carry harder, whichever way. Always look at what you could have done. | ||

Him looking like he's "carrying" comes from his fairly high farm priority, and the fact that both Regi and Oddone play fairly active styles early-midgame game, which creates a lot of space for Chaox. Anyone can look like they're carrying when you give them lots of items and farming space. The genuinely good AD carries shine in the absence of that (e.g. DLift still keeping up when his team lost both other lanes + no jungle presence). | ||

Feels like if Regi doing well then he creates space for everyone else on the team but if he isn't there just isn't anyone doing anything or creating space. Think Regi is prob one of the better NA mids at creating space for his team it's just he's so inconsistent is often doesn't matter. | ||

If TOO had amazing game sense wouldn't he be able to create some space ? what the fuck Haven't you watched TSM play on stream (they don't now* but they used too)? TOO just does whatever Regi tells him to do. | ||

Also, I think TOO has sufficient mechanics for the janglers he plays. I think his problem is mostly that those janglers (maokai, nocturne) don't really make plays on their own. He is really good at supporting for example Regi, when Regi does well. When Regi/Dyrus/Chaox doesn't do well he seem unable to make the plays to get them back in the game. I have never seen him get "big plays" janglers like Lee Singah work on the highest levels. And I was never on the Chaox bandwagon per se, but I will say that his favored champions falling of really has exposed him, far worse than I thought. His Sivir play still makes me cringe. | ||
