And yeah the game snowballed off of the mid doublekill+doublebuff for scarra, Regi going aggro once again and staying in Diana melee range to "bait". I often see alot of people saying Reginald is there playmaker and if he does well, TSM does well. Well surprise to me that's just the nature of the Mid position, imo the positiion with the most carry potential. If he falls behind because he goes aggressive once again, the other mid will crush his entire team in return. Last time after his "Pax Trashtalk" he uploaded a video saying he crushed scarra 1v1, I wonder if he does it again this time admitting Scarra crushed him 1v1 :D probably not but noway he woulda survived that even without mao/xin intervention. and holy shit the 2 Vi games were terrible :D Riot pls don't nerf her  | ||

I mean, I hadn't really thought about it, but the removal of ramping gold/exp for camps you hadn't cleared really hurts if you fall behind (die) and aren't able to be clearing camps. They both had a death relatively early, and then it looked like they just fed for the rest of the game. They were trying to make plays to get back into the game and get caught up, but with wards being as relevant as they are it ended up putting them further behind. This also explains why Xin/J4/etc are really popular right now. Play a strong duelist, get ahead of the other jungler, then just make them irrelevant by being stronger during every gank/counter gank, or go them mess up in their own jungle. Look at how Saint treated Clakey, or Crumbzz treated OddOne. | ||

Look at how Saint treated Clakey, or Crumbzz treated OddOne. I think part of the problem is they tried too hard to get back. I mean Clakey went to the enemy blue to steal it while being super behind and used his escape to get there. Really stupid play that only works if you're so far ahead. It seems like it's not just the case of jungle snowballing but also junglers not playing from behind properly and just feeding constantly. Saint played Hec vs col and wasn't really ahead, they actually were struggling a bit but he just kept on farming and waited for chance to get ahead instead of trying to force plays that are far too risky. I just think Clakey is a bad jungler on anything that isn't J4. He showed that in LCS and showed that now again. | ||

Then a few minutes in mid, Regi straight up dies to scarra with zero intervention. All Crumbzz did was ensure OddOne didn't revenge kill scarra but either way Diana ends up 2-0 with double buffs. -.-;; Yeah, was pretty disappointed by TSM, quite a one sided start. Even if TSM made some pretty interesting move, such as ward dig's blue, taking it after tower, they were just dying in lane and getting outplayed. Regi going in close range without mana and half hp against a diana with her passiv up was just plain bad. | ||

Search "twitch and draven", localize to just the LoL subforum, looking at my own posts. Took 30 seconds top.  | ||

My phone did though Poor conservation of phone battery. If the sun came out at night I could charge it Or if I had a lunar charging panel AND a solar charging panel. Someone invent this please EZPZ Lemon Squeezy. In all honesty, to make it to mid-season, 20-8 will probably be good enough.

They have good games and bad games, last week they lost to CLG, "they don't have what it takes anymore" then they win their next games and everyone swings the other way. Now TSM goes 1-1 on the day and people are back to talking about how they just aren't good enough. Very few posts actually make it seem like TSM is a competent team, which they still are, for sure. xD You sir perfectly embody your name. The wisdom of Ghandi and the courage/bravery of an Eagle. Definitely agree with you. I also admit that TSM's weakest point is that they are very poor at adapting. Granted I can't watch the LCS, but reading the forums and remembering from S2 - they really need to learn to adapt. And learn to play from behind. I hope them getting beat by draven/singed really gives them a kick start to try and start opening up their champ pool and strategies. It seems Crumbzz mindgamed them hard. They are too predictable. (And I blame every TSM loss on Asmodeus) Oof. That hurt to say all that. Must. Unleash. Fanboyism. TSM TSM TSM TSM FK IT BAYLIFE TSM TSM TSM TSM. Phew. Feels better. On February 15 2013 07:09 Mensol wrote: "Xpecial is so good that he can play on both teams in same time" Might (definitely) have to edit the Fanclub. Only reason TSM lost to Dig was because they saw how badly Dig crushed MRN and was worried Dig forgot how to throw. (And because of Asmodeus) P.S. LB finally NOT banned, and Regi didn't play her. What gives!? Although I have never played a Diana vs LB lane, nor have I seen one. Anyone have any insight as to how it goes? And anyone have any insight as to why Regi didn't pick her? I can't wait to see if he plays her tonight. | ||

Regi is definitely not the weak link in TSM. He's their playmaker. In most games it's hard to pin blame on one person. In the loss vs. Dignitas it was a team wide breakdown. | ||

I also admit that TSM's weakest point is that they are very poor at adapting. Case in point: Jarvan and Xin are unavailable, Oddone ends up picking Maokai as jungler when he had much better options for their comp available. | ||
