depends how you define it.
Everyone in a play should give information and look for and spot options.

Hard to criticise shot calling methods when you don't hear the mics


We've heard how TSM does their shotcalling through numerous "Mic checks" though. They shout over one another while Yellowstar can barely be heard through it all


shot calling is not managing a tf. Macro play has nothing to do with how a team fight is played out. You could have beautiful calling during a tf and still be a clown fiesta and vise versa. The mic checks you see in riots stuff makes for a nice 5 minute video but doesn't really give much insight. A better example would be the mic check on SKT a while back where they are planning mores for the next minute talking about rengar ulti and what is there plan.


Agree.What I would like to know is who made the calls to group in front of the enemy bot tower instead of letting hauntzer split push kill the top tower. Because they tried it two times and it did not worked.
It is more the macro decision making that would be interesting to know how it works in TSM. If yellowstar is making these calls, then indeed yellowstar has to be blaimed.

Another thing is that TSM is scrimming CLG a lot. CLG is doing great in splitpush so TSM could maybe have learned something.

Well, I mean, compare the TSM mic checks during team fights and C9 teaming fighting. Hai is the person giving the orders. Saying who to kill, when to back off, when to switch targets, while everyone else is giving small information like whether someone used a summoner, or if an ability is on CD. That kind of information lets Hai decide the best course of action while fights are breaking out.

How the fuck is giving information shotcalling?????? Saying "x used flash we can dive bot" is not fucking shotcalling.


saying there is an option for a dive. Is giving an option that can then help reach a consensus. On the reverse that person can maybe block a dive if they know it won't work due to cooldown/champions or if they know the position of the enemy jungle. That is how anybody would define democratic shot calling which was your original point. Its not people voting its more a collective effort from my understanding.

But that isn't fucking shotcalling that is just giving information what every single person on a good team should be doing.....

Democratic shotcalling is just the poor alternative to when a team doesn't have someone who has the balls and the team's trust.

Say h2k. Everyone talks and says shit but when ryu says "do x" they do x. That is what a shotcaller is. You can't be a shotcaller if you aren't the one who utlimately decides what you are going to do.

Have yet to see democratic shotcalling really work tbh.


depends how you define it.
Everyone in a play should give information and look for and spot options.

Hard to criticise shot calling methods when you don't hear the mics

How the fuck is giving information shotcalling?????? Saying "x used flash we can dive bot" is not fucking shotcalling.


saying there is an option for a dive. Is giving an option that can then help reach a consensus. On the reverse that person can maybe block a dive if they know it won't work due to cooldown/champions or if they know the position of the enemy jungle. That is how anybody would define democratic shot calling which was your original point. Its not people voting its more a collective effort from my understanding.

But that isn't fucking shotcalling that is just giving information what every single person on a good team should be doing.....

Democratic shotcalling is just the poor alternative to when a team doesn't have someone who has the balls and the team's trust.

Say h2k. Everyone talks and says shit but when ryu says "do x" they do x. That is what a shotcaller is. You can't be a shotcaller if you aren't the one who utlimately decides what you are going to do.

Many things happen way too fast though for a single person to determine them. Or when the shotcaller is elsewhere / not looking. As in my earlier example, support says "no summs, we should dive", jungle says "ok" and does it or even says nothing and simply does it. While shot caller Ryu sits in mid lane and does nothing.

We've heard how TSM does their shotcalling through numerous "Mic checks" though. They shout over one another while Yellowstar can barely be heard through it all


shot calling is not managing a tf. Macro play has nothing to do with how a team fight is played out. You could have beautiful calling during a tf and still be a clown fiesta and vise versa. The mic checks you see in riots stuff makes for a nice 5 minute video but doesn't really give much insight. A better example would be the mic check on SKT a while back where they are planning mores for the next minute talking about rengar ulti and what is there plan.


Well, I mean, compare the TSM mic checks during team fights and C9 teaming fighting. Hai is the person giving the orders. Saying who to kill, when to back off, when to switch targets, while everyone else is giving small information like whether someone used a summoner, or if an ability is on CD. That kind of information lets Hai decide the best course of action while fights are breaking out.

To be fair, Hai is one of the best shot callers in the world.

So is Yellowstar.


problem is, if nobody listens, does he make a sound?


This lol. It feels like YS has no presence on the team. YS should just come back to Europe and join fnatic as a 6th man like Starix for Na'vi.

If you put Hai on this TSM, nobody would listen him as well. the loudest on making the calls on current TSM, and no way your voice going over Bjergsen and DL screaming lol.

Hai is one of the best shotcaller ever played this game.
