Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

TSM lets Frost back into the game by not properly following up after they take the top turret at 5 minutes. You're supposed to take all the first tier turrets, and then take every single objective, invade the jungle, and continue to push down turrets (exactly what Frost did in the first game). Instead, they decide to let laning resume, and allow Frost to farm up their gold difference.

I think it's pretty definitive that none of the NA teams are playing at the same level as the other teams, and it has nothing to do with individual skill. Team comps, picks, and game flow are beyond the play of them all it seems.

The throws man :/

TSM doesn't know how to play the follow-up to the early fast push. They floundered for a while and eventually just lost their lead.

Practicing against NA teams this absolutely didn't matter because after they got ahead off the fast push, their superior fundamentals can carry them to a win against inferior NA teams, so not knowing definitively how to play the follow-up doesnt matter. But against Asian teams they can't bank on that carrying them to a win, so they eventually just lost.

I got this feeling watching them as well. They got the great first blood, the fast turret and the dragon pick up. Then they just slowed down and let Frost make plays to get back in. They should have grouped and roamed to push down more towers to gain control of Frost's jungle. Skarner was really the reason Frost was able to make plays. Once things evened out again TSM fell into the same pattern they did last game, letting Frost pick up turrets basically for free and slowly losing all map control.

Maybe now those LoL fans who keep discounting Koreans will realize who Western players are up against.

This is like SC in 2002 all over again.


Maybe they will realize that streaming soloque for 8 hours a day is not a good way to practise

Canada too bro. I think what NA needs is a Mexican team.


To represent as the american team? or for the americans to have a team to beat?

To represent NA.

Koreans have better practice partners in themselves the amount of good teams is much higher simply because they take gaming seriously. So even if an NA team does practice as much and well as a Korean team they will not have the same partners to scrim against. Probably the same thing with EU to a lesser degree.

Starcraft community knew that the Koreans would absolutely stomp TSM.

Weird... it's like Koreans are just better at video games..............................

It's pretty funny that people thought TSM even stood a chance against the Koreans.

I look forward to the S3 circuit.

Asian team vs. NA team matches are universally going to be 20 minute stomps.

NA worst scene in esports. LoL no exception. Don't expect them to do any better in S3 to be honest.

Still jiji fanboy.

The obvious solution is that their sharingan ran out of chakra and they stopped being able to continue to copy the korean style

TSM can't complain. Rolled a developing NA scene (I reckon Ferus, Dynamic & Orbit will start to shine soon with more practise) to get seeded to a free $15k each minimum + season 3 qualification. Back to earning stream revenue for them though.

Also why are NA teams worse then europe/koreans in every esports game. Meh.


lack of proper practice.

Yes maybe NA teams should stop doing solo queue 6 hours a day on own3d.tv

Dunno how much they practice as a team, but it seems very little.

I don't really understand people. Did we watch the same game ? TSM showed good play, Azubu just had better strategy overall, the split push completly let TSM behind, they're too fast, can disengage whenever they want.


They got Outplayed in every sense of the word.

It wasnt even close. having a 3k lead at 7;40 and losing that game is just bad.
