I thought it was pretty obvious Gleeb was a stopgap measure...? | ||

Gleeb had personal issues beyond the game that even he wasn't aware of at the time. | ||

TSM's upsets were always on the back of regi carrying hard, iirc. Against NA teams and EU teams yeah, Regi and Oddone did work. Regi and Oddone wasn't bad compared to NA and EU players at the time by any means. Oddone ain't no Diamond, but he did his thing. Against the top Asian teams at the time, however, they have 0 chance with their style of play, because that particular playstyle aimed at snowballing Regi and then have him roam gets exponentially worse and worse as the skillgap between Regi/Oddone and whoever their counterparts are gets larger and larger. It's hard to snowball someone that would get straight up solo'd because he's just that bad compared to the other guy. Dyrus, on the other hand, wasn't the noob stomper Regi were but he wasn't going to get solo'd either, which pretty much made him the most solid player when playing against the elites.

Feels to me like it happens against many teams and it's just that Dyrus isn't as good at playing safe and surviving as good tops. From how jungle presence is prioritized on that team + top lane being top lane, Dyrus is simply the easiest player to gank successfully. It's no secret that TSM has always prefer to split most of the jungle pressure between bjerg and bot, so if you spend time around bot side trying to get a gank on either mid or bot you run the risk of a) wasting time because TSM would have ward coverage that side and b) running into Santorin. While not always optimal, the most obviously play then is to pile on Dyrus. Top lane isn't the safest place to start with and unless Dyrus just backs of to the turret giving away farm and XP every time 2 or more people on the other team goes MIA he's gonna die. It's a choice between playing like a pussy all game and be irrelevant or be behind, but still have enough money and level to influence the game. God forbids the bitching people throws at him if he plays scared every game so the opposing jungle can just go mid/bot for free lol. Have people already forget Innox? | ||
