Not even coaching imports. Bonus evidence comes from Korean players in China doing worse and worse when put beside their peers in Korea. While I agree with what you are saying in general, this is just day one so far. Keep in mind in the last international tournament Korea bombed out and TSM won. | ||

They also need to bring down rek'sai. They keep over doing it with the manaless regen champions and ratios when they have 7 skills (AHEMLEESIN). | ||

That being said I think it holds up, idk who TSM would be scrimming after LCS ended, a loto f the teams lost players and a lot of them went on vacation, like as soon as the season is over a lot of LCS teams pack it in apparently and don't start practicing again until a week or so before the next split starts. That and you heard stories about Piglet where he'd be practicing in solo q many more hours than the rest of TL etc. | ||

It was pretty baffling. I mean if Faker can just lose lane yet get fed free kills while his other lanes win, he can just blow summoners to live all day and keep bjergs lead managable. They also need to bring down rek'sai. They keep over doing it with the manaless regen champions and ratios when they have 7 skills (AHEMLEESIN). that's what makes faker good though. he's always relevant. NO MATTER WHAT. His laning in 1v1 is really good, but that's not what makes him a god at this game. | ||

By then Bjergsen's team got really rekt. Bjergsen did fairly well, he did pressure Faker well, almost killing Faker at one point and blows Faker's ghost and flash. TSM played so reckless. Dyrus on full tilt and feed mode. The salt is just so visible. Santorin is really exposed as a jungler. He failed ganks in bot lane, very hard since it's the tankiest bot ever - Ali and Urgot lol. He needs to go top or mid. Top to protect Dyrus. Mid to help pressure Faker. On May 08 2015 13:41 wei2coolman wrote: that's what makes faker good though. he's always relevant. NO MATTER WHAT.

based on the fact that incarnation is literally living with C9 right now I think it's very unlikely they choose a different mid | ||

Not even faker is relevant when his team is down in all lanes and feeding every other minute. Last year proved this. | ||

Faker's first kill in the jungle was because Santorin was in Blue side jungle vs 3 people from SKT. What can Bjergsen do about that? Run in to die? Right after Santorin died, TSM opts into a 3v4 bot while Bjergsen pushes Faker out of lane and forces Faker to recall and Bjergsen gets mid turret to 1/2 health, kills like 1.5-2 waves against turret, and gains a 20-CS lead. After that, Bengi ganks Bjergsen while his team is fail-diving 3v2 bot, Bengi gets a kill on Bjergsen, and Faker snowballs after that. It was 6-2 by the time Faker actually killed Bjergsen in mid with the help of Bengi. Bjergsen held his own just fine. His team was just too heavy. | ||
