TSM was also one of the first websites where the guides had some sort of quality control. I imagine that alone got them a big fanbase. When I first started playing this game (around the middle of S2?) it was TSM or mobafire. I've been a fan of the team since then mostly because of their quirky personalities. I thought Regi was hilarious at the time.

Especially now since BurgerKing is very affable.

Crs and dig weren't good enough back then and CLG threw their popularity harder than XDG threw matches. TSM pretty much got to win the NA fanbase by default

It also helps that Solomid was one of the first LoL websites, which was a huge reason why the solomid brand name got popular in the first place.

They had the best (quality-controlled) guides unlike the terror, most popular builds that mobafire or leaguecraft kept churning out.

Most popular taric guide use to be like AD/AP hybrid carry.

Almost every TSM game I've seen this season it looks like bjergsen is a giant ogre running in a kindergarten murdering babies. Did he improve that much or is the na competition just way weaker ?


NA mids are definitely weaker. Shiphtur is normally solid but fucked himself in draft.

I'm still scratching my head with the Kat pick.


it's pretty simple, it instantly makes your teamfight stronger than the other teams, it has synergy with Jinx and you can counter Zed ult with Shunpo

it's a good pick played poorly.

too weak in lane imo. I understand how the team comp supposed to work out in teamfights, but you can't sacrifice lane strength for that, especially against a top tier midlaner like Bjergsen.


Kat does not die to Zed in lane if played correctly

vs. Zed that is a win.

I give that lane advantage to Zed tbh.


well you'd be wrong

Slusher vs Bjergsen. Take your bets, and no TSM-bias!


it's pretty simple, you have a champion who isn't a kill threat without ult vs. a champion who can not only dodge it but take reduced base damage from it, I don't even see how this a confusing concept

but go ahead take his word for it w/o an explanation

Why wouldn't you take the best Mid on NA's opinion over you? rofl

marketing genius/god might be a bit too much, but doesn't "they were also popular when they were not winning shit" speaks for him doing a good job at marketing?

because 0 reasoning was given why zed wins the match up I just don't see it, even before his nerfs people who could jump away from death mark were considered the go to picks vs. him

poor itemization for kat to deal with Zed, is a big reason for it imo. The build up to Zhonya's takes forever, past armguard. To be effective you have to get it farmed up before the bildgewater kicks in, and it becomes ineffective when brutalizer is done. Then when you get zhonya's, it's gotten to the point where Zed starts roaming everywhere, and now you have a Item that severely reduces your teamfight presence as compared to your optimal mpen build with haunting guise + sorc boots.

This kind of feels like SC2 race discussions where at some point (not sure if still true, because I don't follow SC2 anymore) Terrans were thought to be weaker than zergs even though Koreans were pwning zergs with Terrans. The problem was that foreign Terrans didn't have enough multitask due to apm/etc. I think its too hard to make these comparisons at the lower lvl because we don't have enough skill to exploit the full potential of LCS champions. Zed for sure is a high skill champion, and I would trust Bjergsen's word on this.

Talking in detail about the blood in the toilet and all of that seemed like a bit much to me haha. Meh I guess they don't have a problem with talking about that to hundreds of thousands of people.
