Does TSM have a sub for every position? The only position which had no sub was support. WildTurtle was going to be a sub for AD or Mid and Wings either for Top or Jungle. Dan guesses everyone could figure playing support within a week of time so it wasn't a high priority.
With that attitude towards support, well, that explains a lot.
Yeah, the opposite attitude towards support is what puts the Koreans in such a solid position right now.
not a lot of teams have a sub support because there are not a lot of supports in general, also wings can't jungle. You are allowed two subs so obviously not every role will have a sub, and obviously pro players know that you can't just learn support in two weeks.

I miss Chaox already, shame the Reginald/Chaox fights had to come to a head.
Chaox was an asshole and half the reason I didn't like TSM.
Though I'm biased because I like both Saint and Loco.
It's quite easy to judge without actually being there or knowing the full story behind an individual behavior.

Are you sure they are allowed two subs ? I'm pretty sure they need to have at least 2 sub but can have more. WingofDeath + Dandinh + Wildturtle is already 3 sub.
Obviously I'm biased as a support player, but saying that its a role that you could pick up in a couple weeks (implying other roles take so much more effort and time to learn) is a pretty bad attitude towards the game.

Wait until the latest episode of their reality TV show when all questions will be answered.

If you watch the best EU team, Gambit and Fnatic, their support are always a big part of their win. nRated is I think the shot caller, and Edward is more important than his ad carry Genja in half of the game I watched lol. So I don't think you are biased at all : support are pretty important, more than ad carry imo.

Support really doesn't get the respect it deserves. The big way to show this is that the win rates for certain supports from loking are ridiculously high, and since it's more than one it seems to not be a fluke. People who know how to support win games, it's just harder to see but with the large amounts of data we can definitely see that they have as much impact on the game (if not more) than other roles. Janna and Sona having a similar win rate to Amumu after thousands of games for the last few patches is more than just a fluke, it's a trend. The people playing these champs are doing it right, moreso than "broken" champs "carrying".
Well chaox took it like a man. Pretty impressed by his behavior. Still don't understand what he did to get kick tho. It all comes down to his animosity towards Regi I suppose. Ho Dyrus, he's a really good guy.

no ones ever said that wtf
Dan said that in his Vlog about Chaox when asked about subs on the team. He said they had Wings for top, him for jungle and Turtle for ADC/Mid and they would just train someone up that week if they needed a support.
