It’s considered Lucian favored because she needs Armguard and lost chapter to survive lane and often falls to far behind before that happens, unless Lucian goes tear build which is why I always say the tear build is so bad, you don’t spike during your advantage.

You don’t have to be Knight you just have to buy BF or cutlass first

That's why I hated when UoL drafted it tbh. Gadget had already played Ori bot before and they were against an MF with, who they could have dicked on hard with the Ori they already drafted if they flexed it bot. But instead they went Senna and got smashed.

Also shouldnt Rekkles be going lethality Senna here? Whose armor is he shredding?


There is no way Ori (the lowest base armor champ in the game, below kassadin with the ball unattached) dicks a lane bully adc

Furthermore uol vs fly was literally draft kingdom in favor of uol, it’s just PoE 1v9’d


I disagree about Ori vs MF, she's super immobile and would be susceptible to Ori damage on that fact alone. But I do agree PoE hard 1v9ed which is why I would have liked a different pick for Nomanz. Like they finally brought out their weird shit against top, but if they brought it out vs FQ or even DRX they could have had a chance

They already flexed Ori bot into Cait of all things, if stepping into range of Cait was possible MF should be possible too. Although the difference between the V3 adc and Turtle is probably high

MF is under picked she’s basically buffed to the same strength as she was in spring, so yes I would say that about any champ she lanes against

Would the game have been much different if Bjerg picked Azir or Syndra (or even a weird pick like Sylas or Zoe) though?

The purpose of the LeBlanc was to pair with the Shen. LB does her splitpushy stuff and as long as Stand United is up the other team always has to send 2 people to deal with her.

but you could do that with other champs too.
Sylas and Azir are both better than Leblanc there and they can both split push.
If the goal was split push prowess then even Ekko and Fizz can also get the split push done.

Over the course of the year, Bjergsen is 1-1 on Sylas, 2-7 on Azir, 0-1 on Ekko, and he's never played Fizz. They're clearly champs either TSM doesn't want to play or, in the case of Azir, champs that haven't worked with the team.

Bjergsen is usually much better on LB than he was today.

DoinB actually gave some really interesting commentary on the LB. He said that LB is out of meta for a reason and thinks TSM just has a poor read on the meta. Basically, LB was picked to counter Ori, but LB can't oppress Ori anymore due to the jungle meta changing. Before, Ori needed to be fearful in lane due to a Lee Sin or a Reksai being in the jungle, and the jungle+mid could just come in and try to catch Ori even in lane. With Graves, though, it's very tough to catch Ori because Graves ganking power is so low, meaning it's harder for LB to get an advantage.

He also said TSM that just seems to be like a team who picks whatever they want to play whenever, without really thinking about the needs of the team comp. I pretty much agree, and think their P/Bs have just been incoherent throughout. They seem to tunnel too much on their recent champions. For example, I think vs the GenG team, given a twitch ban, Ori + Senna or Azir + Senna would've made sense and would've rounded out their comp a lot more than... Zilean + Senna.

Zilean Senna is crazy low damage for the first 20 minutes of the game, and then you're so far behind you don't actually get to scale. So it's no surprise they kind of lost every team fight with it, Rakan engages and then ???. Match history shows Ruler did more damage than the 3 TSM carries combined, 4 times the damage of Senna. Also DL did 0 damage to turrets that entire game and 200 damage to objectives (dragon, herald etc), almost surreal. Game was a stomp, but those numbers really drive home how lopsided it was, and imo more about draft than player skill.

Bjerg looked really bad on LB, everything looked so forced because he knew his team was losing hard and he needed to snowball. Post above got me interested in Bjerg's winrate, it looks like he's only had good success on TF, Syndra, Zilean and Zoe. Everyone has banned TF vs TSM so far, Syndra has been banned and picked by TSM, Zilean is troll pick, and Zoe was banned once by TSM themselves. His comfort champ pool is surprisingly easy to deal with, he hasn't had particular success with single game picks.

TBF if whole team is underperforming, it's hard to see him shining and Bjergsen is not the player that can carry whole team on his back like Stixxay did few years back during MSI. On international stage they are very fragile and apparently Bjergsen is not it any more durable.

They're not underperforming. They're playing exactly like they have always been. Dillydallying in the midgame will just get you completely destroyed. Most of TSM wins in LCS is because of a miracle teamfight win. They have no sense of macro. It's extremely frustrating to watch. But I guess you deserve to win if you can hold off another team that can't macro for shit and get strong enough to possibly win a fight, right?

TL looked markedly proactive in the games they won. When they lost they looked abysmally passive.

Think he meant underperforming more in the context that they're getting blasted by every opposing lineup. So Bjerg has to step up, because he seems to be the only player on his team who can hold a candle to the competition (not really though, the mid laners in his group are pretty tame, imagine if he had to play vs Caps/Knight/Yagao/Chovy/Showmaker).

TL looked proactive vs play in teams, that's not really a good indicator. G2 botched the level 1 because mad disrespect, still tried to dictate the game, and were run over because they had neither a gold lead, tempo lead and poor scaling.

I know, but at least Broxah got in the face of people. If you play Lee Sin and are invisible for the entirety of the game, there must be something going on. He feels enabled on Graves though, I like him on the champ.

As for TSM, Bjergsen has never, ever showed up for international competition. It's partly because of his inactivity they're losing I think. He reminds me of Froggen, where everyone always said he was a beast, but then almost never pops off. Is it a team thing, or is just an extremely riskaverse thing in high stakes situations? I can't really tell, but as a spectator it doesn't really come off as a positive performance, no matter how much cs you're able to be ahead of your opponent.

TSM also infuriatingly don't invest in him at all. Bjergsen has the lowest counter pick % in the entire world.

I'm incredibly frustrated with TSM, have been all year, and it isn't even because of the in game product(NA teams are going to be bad, period, time to move on) but because the front office has 0 fucking clue what they're doing and Regi isn't making any changes.

I can kinda see what TL was going for with their comp, but it kinda hinged on not getting blasted in bot lane.

Top lulu could be 5/0 out of lane and I still don't think they would win the game if tactical is that far behind.

Broxah and Jensen were invisible as well.

Biggest issue was just the lack of proactivity on TL's part(specifically jungle and mid). Just lost the game without ever trying to make plays.

That sounds like normal NA mentality, fall behind -> play passively -> lose.

Funnily enough, Syndra was open in the LB game for Bjerg vs LGD. LGD and TSM have VERY similar playstyles and for some reason, TSM must've thought that LGD do it better than TSM so they wanted early game snowball of LB?

That first match loss vs Machi seems to really be screwing TL, they would've been 2-2 if not for that game and they could STILL end up first due to their first win vs G2 and also if they win vs Suning and Machi
