To be fair CLG doesn't really switch out their mid laners like people thought they would, and 2 good games doesn't excuse 2-3 splits of mediocre play, but it's definitely a step in the right direction to #keepkeith so that they have options and can make the change if need be.


"2-3 splits of mediocre play"

Am I wrong? Maybe he's been average, but i don't see how you can argue that he's been above average at all.


I don't know how about you look at his stats, he's been a top 3 ADC if not higher for like his entire time on TSM. Only recently, as in this split has he truly fallen off.

You are talking about only NA right? not overall?

Only NA. At least, the article that I think he's getting from was focused on NA.

Keith is starting for TSM this week.

RIP Turtle.

There really isn't enough international competition to get a good picture but I know he had the best stats of any Western ADC at S4 Worlds.

Turtle did really well last week too. TSM's management makes it really hard for me to cheer for TSM.

I want this move to work but I can't help but think that the synergy between Lust and Keith might be lacking

At least trying Keith in a real game to give him a chance seems absolutely fair to me.

Its smart for the team as well because actual LCS games are the best place to actually judge. I guess it depends on who they are playing this week? Maybe they have a softer schedule so they want to test it out then.

I wouldn't describe Turtle's most recent splits as mediocre, I'd describe them as inconsistent. He'd have some good games but he'd also have performances where he'd be a skillshot magnet and it would cost TSM games. An ADC's stats are always going to be misleading when you have by far the best player in the region as your midlaner so I don't consider them all that relevant.

For me the main problem with Turtle is that he's not the ADC TSM needs. TSM has Bjergsen. Absolute beast of a player and head and shoulders above anyone else in the region. They need a safe, reliable carry, who'll farm well, show up to team fights, output at much damage as possible from a safe distance and clean up after the enemy has burned everything on Bjergsen. Turtle's positioning is more aggressive and we've all seen the questionable (at best) Flashes supposedly "because he gets bored". When you have Bjergsen you don't need to play that risky and that Turtle never adjusted his style is for me an indicator that he didn't understand his changing role on the team. I see Keith as a much better fit for TSM.

As a TSM fan I really appreciate the fact that they are giving Keith the fair shot that they promised him, even if the whole thing came about as a way to motivate turtle.

And unlike CLG fans it's easy for me to have faith in TSM's management since they generally tend to work out.

I don't think Turtle has any reason to be mentioned with Faker. I guess unless you displayed a line graph of League player's skill and then I guess you'd say: |Bronze League Players------Turtle-----Faker|

No but seriously I think that giving Keith a shot is worth it. Lustboy has been underperforming recently too and I can't help but think it might have something to do with his adc having many lackluster performances. Keith could be considered as an upgrade to two positions instead of one if he meshes well with Lustcena.
