I'd rather not just sweep it under the rug when so many people here are interested in it. yeah I would encourage you to ask neo if you can start a thread. you guys need a special place where you can braid each other's hair while talking about whether dyrus's feelings were hurt and who slept with who. | ||

That being said, seeing that bit of material made me greatly admire Dyrus for not punching his fucking head off. The guy clearly wanted to disengage from the argument and Reginald kept shoving it back in his face. I'd either leave or start a physical fight, and I found it quite impressive Dyrus did neither. I have to disagree about Dyrus handling this well. This is bullying from Reginald plain and simple. I used to have a roommate who'd argue the same way and even more frequently then Regi and it absolutely eats at you after a while. For generally passive people I think it is really hard to deal with people like this without experience. In my opinion it really is a fight or flight situation because doing nothing will just leave things static and it seems very clear that Dyrus is not happy with the current situation. Regi does not seem to be someone who can be easily reasoned with verbally so you'd have to do it with leverage. What should be done in my opinion is that Dyrus/Xpecial should threaten to leave the team if Reginald does not step down from the managerial position (post worlds of course). Regi cannot ignore what would be 2 allstars leaving the team. There is just no victory on the world stage with that toxic of a work environment and lack of team unity. | ||

Shame on them for playing badly... Give it a break, they may not be a flawless korean team but they currently have a good chance of winning the whole NA LCS and could give the world title a run for its money. (I didn't watch the video) Ok we get it... Lots of these kids went from being nobody's who played video games on their spare time if not for a vast majority of their time and sky rocketed to "E-fame" gaining lots of fans and a shit ton of money. You know what happens to individuals who have never had that sort of life? Some of them change for the negative and you can see it in a few people. It is nothing new and it is going to happen time and time again, just let it die or if you feel the need to toss your thoughts in the subject, R/LoL would love to hear your opinions. | ||

You didn't watch the video and you are just being a blind fanboy. If you did watch the video you would see someone being absolutely repulsive human being bullying his teammate in a way that in any other work place Dyrus would be in line to seek legal counseling . Instead you just arbitrarily stroke TSM's cock while trying to demean someone who actually took the time to figure out what they are talking about (watching the video). | ||

I dunno, I think Dyrus can probably 'seek legal counsel' for that as is. The first video that was posted I thought just looked like an angry argument, but after watching the whole thing I am just amazed. I wasn't much of a TSM fan before that but after watching this I think I've lost all respect for them. If I were Dyrus I would NOT stay on a team where I was being treated like that. | ||

If people wanted to discuss the merit of their play, I would be all for that but that isn't where this convo is leading. It is turning into jump on the bandwagon of bashing players when a camera catches them at their worst moments. Congrats? if Meteos, Mancloud, or ZionSpartan etc.... were caught lashing out on a teammate on cam, nothing would change. My opinion would be the same. EDIT:.... My bad, I shouldn't have posted in the first place. If anyone wishes to discuss this further, I'd rather take it to PM's because this thread isn't the place. Funny enough, I did the classic post about what I hate seeing posted thus prolonging the subject and directly inserting myself into the discussion.... Back to getting gold/plat with lucian | ||

If it was any other team with this happening I would be saying the exact same thing, so please trying to discredit my thoughts because I've been known to have fun and post "BAYLIFE. TSM TSM. BAYLIFE" doesn't equal to me trying to defend them blindly. Are they playing optimal? No, I think there are plenty of problems that anyone can see in their play but placing third behind teams like V and C9 is nothing to scoff at but yes, Caelym they do need to improve greatly if they wish to make an impact at the Worlds.

Your not having watched the video opinion is very valuable, thank you for that. This behavior is something I have dealt with frequently at points in my life and its taken me a long time to learn how to deal with it. It really irks me when I see it being done to someone else. | ||

"Regi moments" have been happening since season 1 and people always get in an uproar when it happens, then forget about it later. What's even more sad is that no member of TSM have the spine to stand up for each other while taking abuse for years now. | ||

You lose LP and adds a loss if you are in a series, but your MMR doesn't decrease. | ||
