epic Uzi reaction after watching TSM vs SK
I just had to go back and rewatch that bit on the vods. God how can a team make so many miss plays right after another. They could have pushed top to open another inhib but instead they go for the nexus. As soon as the 4 from TSM enter the base Vayne begins to recall, Dyrus lets it happen which is just a terrible play. Bjergen blows his entire combo on Sven who loses only 1/3 of his HP and he then zonya's to avoid a morgana binding while still at full hp which removes him from the crucial moments of the fight. Turtle is caught facing Vayne and has to back out, his only direction is right into Swain, Morgana and Ziggs so he dies for free and at that point its impossible for TSM to do anything. I just dont get how on earth you make the call to rush mid when you can push top lane hard, get to the inhib tower and if Vayne is still bottom you TP in Dyrus and force the engage 4v5. Either vayne backs and gets their late or you take the nexus. Instead you trap yourself in the enemy base and allow a splitpush Vayne with no TP to get to the fight sooner then Dyrus who had TP. Just... mind boggling bad call for a team of the level of TSM. It's even more mind boggling when you consider that TSM is normally a pretty passive team. They perfer to slowly take over the map which I think is why they battle so much with split pushing as they don't really have a predetermined set of plays to deal with it so they fumble a bit. I assume it was just all the earlier indecisiveness building up until the point where someone was just "fuck it let's just end this" at the end of the game.
This is going to be the norm for TSM until Bjergsen learns how to not suck at shotcalling.

How is "spanish insec" racist in any way? It's not more racist than calling Bjergsen the "Faker of NA". I assumed St3MoR's comment was because I named the award using word "Spanish", so I jokingly implied that making fun of spanish people for being bad at league is same caliber as what Sven did. Also (jokingly) implying that in both cases it could be a simple misunderstanding on both parts. Don't read too much into it pls :p
my comment was because we have 40% of titles, not because its racist, its "an honor", I wasnt implying your comment was racist at all
do u think people here love ocelote? we are teamliquidians 1st, nationalities come after that --v

Western scene will improve if tsm,alliance, c9,fnatic,sk are send to relegations by the others in spring season5. I dont see how western scene improve if they got the same teams in top for 2 years.

having the same top teams isn't an issue, it's when they don't improve and stay on top anyways is when it becomes an issue.

It's not like Samsung White ain't in 5 OGN Ro4 and higher in a row.
Having same teams on the top ain't an issue, not having middle of the pack - is.

Agreed. Even in the circumstance that the quarters/semis should be pretty heavily Asian stacked, it gives an opening for people to make the really unqualified claim that somehow EU/NA are close to CN, especially since SHRC lost (zzzz fuck).
Just speaking of formats since you briefly touched on it, Bo1s give massive openings for upsets. We've seen it in BW, we've seen it in CSGO, and we see it in every day physical sports. Nobody will argue that MVP is even with Flash in BW because he beat Flash once in late game TvT
The few times we have had Bo3/Bo5 series, China has never lost against a Western team since S2 worlds semifinals, where CLG.eu won after losing anywhere between 3-5 games that were conveniently discarded because of disconnects and managed to win two games that they were winning and didn't disconnect. Misaya the savior and his crew of godlike players minus ClearLove were robbed of a World Championship that year 100%
Also, trash tier Chinese team is in NA LCS and almost placed top 2. That's a.....n obvious tell right there. lo....l

2nd place is just the 1st loser. The rankings of non-Korean regions is irrelevant. No one can touch Korea right now. They are multiple tiers higher. Even if CN was better than EU/NA, who cares? They're the best of the irrelevant regions, yay!

Obviously EU/NA fans care. CN fans have only been crying that we probably won't be beating Korea this year either.

This makes sense if you're saying "spanish insec" is negative racist. Otherwise, what? Spanish as a group of people means from Spain(where he is from), not hispanic.

The Chinese dream this s4 championships is just to get 3-1d by Korea instead of the constant 3-0s
It's more or less the same as the dynamic of Chinese bw at this point with China's Almost complete disregard for the west while always trying to chase that distant and unreachable Korea

Chinese fan here,I think NA/EU are definitely catching up the Chinese teams, as the streaming industry is so huge here even attract Korean to come. Chinese care more about Team OldAge(Weixiao Caomei PDD Xiaoxiao Joker White) to win s14.

Well team OldAge got 6 people so 6>5.  . But on a more serious note, that's disheartening to hear because I feel the streaming industry is the real downfall of why NA is so lackluster. Play for a pro team, make ok money, get called trash or stream, make lots of money and everyone assumes you're a god.

when you have no hope of winning worlds, streaming is the right choice

Yes, if Fnatic for example 2:0 Omg we can be sure CN isnt miles away from EU/NA.
Right know I think its. Kr>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CN>>>EU>NA. But let's wait for Fnatic vs LMQ and All vs C9. Really hyped for these.

a year ago it was closer to
Kr >>>>> CN >>>>> EU > NA
remember that SKT actually lost a game

Well Ozone lost in group stages and Najin lost one game in play-offs. I wonder if Alliance will be able to make an upset.
