A lot of people criticize Zuna for standing on the Rumble ult that last Baron fight but he was faced with a pretty stark choice at that point. Mancloud was far, far away from the fight while Sid and Xmithie were already charging face forward into the fire. Zuna could either stand away from the Rumble ult and get no auto attacks off on the TSM team and let his tank line die for nothing or he could try and do what damage he could and maybe Mancloud could clean up. What he got was a Wildturtle crit to the face and Mancloud dying without accomplishing anything. | ||

Watch the team fight at 25:45 in G1 for example. This is probably the most pivotal fight in the game: Dig is just over 1k behind, but they end up getting 3 for 0ed and C9 picks up dragon and Baron and it all snowballs from there. There's a moment at the start where Patoy is in the bush and C9 is clumped up, a bit of ult potential there although it's a questionable decision. Patoy doesn't use it then. The fight starts with Scarra getting caught/ulting into C9. Patoy walks into the fight, casts Dark Wind, dodges Stranglethorns, and then he leaves. His contribution to this pivotal team fight was one spell. Like sure, it's not good to die for nothing, but what good did not dying do him? Nothing, he did absolutely nothing during the time he would have been dead. This fight was mostly Scarra's fault but Patoy did nothing at all. Almost every team fight in both games went this way. The sweet Fizz double kill at 23:50? Patoy had the Fizz kill in the bag (and would have saved Lee too) if he just used his ultimate... edit: realized lily dipping might not be a well-known term, that's when you're paddling a canoe except you're just barely sticking your paddle in the water so it looks like you're paddling but you're not actually doing anything to help move the canoe | ||

As always gorram TSM delivers. I feel the same way. Dyrus is the only person on TSM that I like at all. I hope season 4 sees some more fresh blood like C9 in the NA scene to finally push TSM out of those top spots for good (and hopefully Vulcun can step it up another notch and learn not to choke like they did today). For all my TSM hate though I do have to give them credit for being one the few NA teams that actually does a decent job of objective control. | ||

Pretty good summary of what happened. Vulcun did a lot wrong in their matches, but TSM also put on clinic on beating up an inferior team. Regi was more effective game 1 than game 2, but both games displayed great performances by Dyrus and Xspecial. I'd say any TSM fan should be happy with the caliber of play TSM displayed (easily their highest since spring split) but I'm not convinced it's enough to stop the unstoppable force that is C9. Can't ban them out, can't camp any one of them hard enough to make it 4v5, just have to hope they pick uncomfortable champs (Fizz) and hope they don't make highlights of 1v3 towerdives. | ||

Future teams need to ban Rumble vs TSM, Dyrus Equalizer won them the game, they were beautiful especially during the last fight in front of Baron, wow.. So good ! But during this fight I think that if ManCloud didn't E in at the end of the fight he could have poked them and maybe prevent them from doing Baron considering how low the 3 of them were (before Jarvan showed up). Also Regi needs to play Ahri instead of TF, he played more than decently during both games and Ahri thanks to her ult is much more forgiving than TF. | ||

I mean everyone blames EU ADC but holy shit Zuna is terrible for an ADC of a team who got 2nd in Summer Split. Maybe he didn't play that bad during the season but his play was god damn awful during this series, I still don't believe what I just saw...

Dyrus has always been the one to make huge plays for TSM. Regi might be the shotcaller, but most of the weight is held on Dyrus' shoulders. | ||
