Every game they just seem to be controlling the game's tempo while their opponents just react to what Blaze is doing. Assuming that TSM is the #1 NA team (and I think they probably are) it's hard to say that the Korean scene isn't ahead of NA. That or maybe TSM's style is just shit against the Korean teams. It's purely a stylistic thing. CLG and any other team in Korea who has had experience against this style understands it. TSM chose to sit in America and ignore Korea and this is the result. | ||

There is zero chance that TSM will win season 2 finals unless they can get more experience against this style of play. | ||

You could clearly see an early game plan designed to counter the Korean plan, and it worked. They made two mistakes in teamfights, which led ultimately to the loss. If they would have played the teamfights as flawless as Azubu, TSM would have had the better chance at winning. No, they've had WEEKS to deal with it. They have a fucking B team, and OGN always puts vods up afterwards. They could've chosen to practice against Korean meta. BUT NO. they didn't, and this is the result. The only reason Curse got 1 game off of Azubu, because St.V has played against korean meta, probably had good understanding on how to deal with it. | ||

When Curse played Azubu Game 2 they played Korean style, especially after getting Alistar. Full pressure all over the map. There was even a point when Irelia thought she was finally able to get free farm when suddenly 4 members of Curse appear and kill her under tower after a million years of CC locking her down despite her passive lol. | ||

Example: tsm got bot tower first, very well done, however they swapped top without taking dragon or securing their blue, and they didn't even manage to save top. Azubu read the situation perfectly, and exploited tsm's tunnel vision on protecting top. | ||

This cockiness is why TSM is going to lose to Azubu. Don't get me wrong TSM is good, but they're arrogant to thinking they're the best is what's going to cost them. | ||

Haven't seen enough from Asian scene to say anything yet. Either way TSM is going to lose this, they obviously arn't used to the Korean meta atm and I foresee it being the new meta after this. | ||
