I call that vastly better. Maybe even a bit higher.

Not the support imo, but pretty much yea

TSM looked fairly even at the start but when C9 hit their mid game spike it wasn't even close. C9 are just so good at asserting themselves when they have a lead, when c9 wants a fight they fight they don't dance around going "oooh I don't think it's perfect enough"

I think that (way too) forced fight top was the turning point. TSM lost the fight, then Meteos were able to pressure bot since there was noone there to stop it from pushing. They proceed to get Xpecial+tower+drake (stupid Elise) while TSM only gets a tower. That was a large gold swing between the previous fight and that, and a bunch of map control that TSM relinquished (plus the momentum).

I still don't get why they let Balls get Rumble. He's not a one-trick pony but his Rumble is significantly better than the rest of his (rather narrow) champion pool and also brings a ton of objective/zone control which is exactly what C9 likes. Plus, Rumble is one of Dyrus' best champions. If you take Rumble away from Balls, he's not playing as well, and the rest of the pool has nowhere near as much dragon control so it harms their playstyle too.

Dyrus' Rumble has been hit or miss in the past, though. They may not have wanted to risk it being an off day and getting crushed (not that they didn't get crushed in the midgame anyway).

I think a stronger midgame AD would have made a huge difference in that game. Vayne wasn't even doing much damage and people were still all getting very low.


Vayne is actually a really strong midgame AD with BotrK timing. She can basically crush anyone 1v1 when she gets botrk. It's just turtle goes BT so he does nothing.

I love Cloud9, but I at least want TSM to make a series out of this and not just get 3-0'd. Also Cloud9 in group stages would be way more interesting.

I dunno, I'd rather go with the words of the players themselves than the words of people posting on TL... and both TSM and C9 have pretty much always just said that they go pretty even when they play. Also, yes C9 are freakishly strong but many of those wins in LCS came during the pre-early-turret buff patches, so... I dunno, World's will tell the real tale, I'd guess.

(No, I'm not saying that was the only reason C9 won so much, get off of your high clouds)

Lemon isn't that good, but he's the mind behind c9. He's also a good ADC trainer.

I think most of us who started during s2 had TSM as their first favourite team - me too, IPL4 was the first tournament I saw. But after worlds I had to realize how bad they are, and it's just NA being bad that makes them look good. They will be crushed at worlds again, I'm 100% positive about that, even though I'd rather see them do good, to make it more interesting.

and they have strong/memorable/distinct personalities

their chemistry might hurt their teamwork at times but makes them more entertaining

Doublelift seems like an equally odd choice then They share many similarities actually

btw. sneaky mvp in that game! was just crazy good play by him!

I find everytime he plays a different champion than ashe, he really starts to come out of his shell.

Dyrus karthus really is like Scarra's. unimpressive


Tbh Dyrus played the best out of all of TSM, as always. He constantly had great positioning with his Defile, but Wildturtle/Regi/TOO were pretty disappointing.

Nocturne doesn't have that much presence when his ult is down, and he was required both top and bot while Meteos was kinda free to do his thing because Elise clears stupidly fast, has better mobility and most importantly his lanes where doing better by themselves. Was kinda annoying me because TOO could have done his best, it still wouldn't have been enough which how much he was requested.

And after that they put him on Noc, so... you can't expect him to do much. Noc doesn't feel good at all in competitive play outside of specific compositions, he doesn't bring much.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

It's the same as people who like the Yankees.

Yeah kinda sad to know that C9 is very likely to face SKT/KTB (whoever qualifies) or else MVP Ozone from quarters. Potentially Royal Club or whoever goes from China besides OMG. They'll probably get eliminated their first match unless they get lucky and pull an EU team or something.

I think Ashe, Zed, Rumble bans for TSM and first pick Elise.

All of C9 lose lanes regularly, none of them are particularly good (except maybe Meteos who doesn't have the easy comparison). The impressive thing about C9 is that nothing seems to matter. It doesn't matter what the score looks like or what the opponents are doing, come like 25 mins they go win a teamfight and end before the opponents can try a 2nd.
Only the weak link is strong enough to break the chain.
