Funnily enough I also watched this randomly. I think Garrett should have just kept quiet and let J'Tia get axed for being useless in challenges. She was the easy choice, the one other girl was only on her side to have an ally it seemed. Instead he puts himself out there way too much, J'Tia is still the obvious choice to vote off so Kass moves from being 3rd in whatever group she joins to being 2nd in the girls since J'Tia will be below her in the girl alliance now.

I think Frank (RiotMirhi, Riot's web content editor) wants more stable rankings and I'm of that opinion as well. TSM lost one game, could be a fluke or could be their start to their own Fnatic slide. We don't know yet. All I do know is that a sample size of 1 loss is negligible atm.
TL;DR: TSM had one loss last week. I'm inclined to think it was a fluke due to their performance thus far this season since Bjergsen joined.
This reminds me, I thought this song would be awesome in a sick comeback hype video for some down and out team:
Starts off with shots of the team, then some fails from the past, dejected faces, then goes into current highlight reel for inevitable comeback to dominance. Yeah?

Sounds like French Survivor (Koh-Lanta, they stopped doing it after a guy died from heart failure on his first day of the last season though). There's always a women/men separation at some point (sometimes a bit before both teams are reunited, there's always another one after the first few post-reunification eliminatins though), and it's always initiated by the women, probably due to the fact that the best "performer" is always a man (doesn't necessarily mean they do better on average) and women end up with the numerical advantage, prompting the "girl power unite" to secure them most of the spots.
(Then they lose durig the final trek+endurance challenge anyway.)

For as little as I could understand, I miss french TV. Un Gars Une Fille where art thou?
French TV is mostly a mix of American and German series bought and broadcasted over and over for a bunch of the channels (public television is a bit more culturally-oriented though, even if France2 broadcasted American soaps too) and the DTT includes mostly random thrash (if I ever have doubts about my self-worth or how decent/smart of a human being I am, I know I'll just have to look at reality TV on NRJ TV or W9 and feel reassured), American series and comics for its free channels.

Now if you're thinking of Monte's tweet in the back of your mind, let's think about it for a second. Samsung Blue? They have Dade. A mid lane that's literally imploded before at a far greater degree than TSM's single loss. T1 S's only win so far was against a dilapidated IM team. EDG looks good in their debut match against iG and I think breaking into top 20 is solid for them with room to rise if they continue to perform in LPL. KT A is the only team I think would be close to TSM. Probably undervalued right now since they lost to Sword.
TL;DR: TSM had one loss last week. I'm inclined to think it was a fluke due to their performance thus far this season since Bjergsen joined.
I can't believe you put TPA and Ahq above WE lol. SEA teams wouldn't be able to win a single Bo5 against any top 4 LPL team right now z.z
Also, you know, ranking the LPL scene collectively lower than the LCS scene lol.
By "you" I mean you guys collectively. Toxic rankings.

Oh god Terry Goodkind
If you continue reading the series I recommend you stop after Faith of the Fallen.

What didn't you like about the books after that? Pillars I liked least because it was about characters I barely cared about (especially that psycho rat muncher), but Naked Empire was fine and the Chainfire arc was pretty good.
Like I'm pretty sure I came during the Ja'La game in Confessor.
But to Cixah: WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT WATCH A SINGLE EPISODE OF THE TV SERIES. It is the worst book to TV adaptation of all time and will give your entire extended family cancer if you watch it.

Faith of the Fallen was interesting but I was a little suspect because there is absolutely no reason to even believe the opposition viewpoint. Who in their right mind would believe that?
Naked Empire was awful. Entire chapters were dedicated to long-winded speeches of Ayn Rand's Individualism, pacifists were murdered to advance said theory of Individualism, the villain was defeated with a trick that a 5 year old could come up with, and the poison was cured through deus ex machina.
The problem with the Ja'La game is that it makes Richard as a character who can just do everything. Apparently he can mastermind economic markets, fight monsters that no one else can, is a premier artist, and is also a preeminent athlete when playing the game for the first time. Genius protagonists are boring and hard for readers to identify with.
