What a stomp. Let's see how TSM responds tomorrow. Personally, I hope they make the finals and make some adjustments. They can hang with Blaze, but they were certainly unprepared for what they got today. Perhaps a reality check?

the third game seems more deciding should maybe add to the tsm being outclassed. I say that TSM is being outplayed and maybe outclassed a bit but its not a huge difference imo

People keep saying unprepared and I just don't get it. Graves tower push strat is like ~60% of the games on OGN.

Is this the part of the year where Regi plays horrible for a solid couple months?

At least black will know they are outclassed, and should have some kind of all in strat planned.

I have to say Azubu REALLY overestimates their strength and they keep dieing stupidly/have a hard time finishing the game

Everytime tsm tried to watch and analyze ogn tournament games they would say "I see nothing special"

turns off the game and queues up a solo Q game.

Koreans not used to NA's "delay losing game for forever" strategy.

Hubris. It is the same as the EU teams turning up to LANs and refusing to ban Shen against the NA teams because they believed no one on NA could play Shen.

And then guess what the King of Splitpush Teams (aka CLG) firstpick and crush them with...

I have to say I dislike the RoA on Gragas that really stops his burst quite a lot ) :

Yeah until now many many tournements had this kind of issue (mainly from the european side though) some examples:
Rumble (was considered underpowered by the americans for quite some time)
Kogmaw (completly demolished IEM NY with 2 game losses one being Dignitas picking him and itemizing him wrong with on hit)
Alistar (AP alistar from fnatic) there are preferences in every region lets hope it gets more professional/people will start watching vods/streams to prepare esp at gaming houses (for example part of the reason Dota premade games are really rarely streamed)
