On an unrelated note huge props to G2 for giving Expect/Trick a break to go back home and playing with subs for the first week (or more). | ||

The GG rhetoric is even worse since it's just repeating the same thing that has been said every time the guy tries to compete without in any way dealing with the supposed cause of him being bad on stage. | ||

Fair enough that the adc's were more utility focused and Piglet plays more of the carry adcs (but cait was a stomper so hmmmmm). Yes, but if Piglet is worth using an import slot on then playstyle shouldn't be a limitation. Also, Cait's rise in the bot lane came late in the split after significant meta changes. How ever the game favored a roaming mid with jungle pressure, something GG says that favors him in a past BTR episode as he likes to snowball other lanes. In a meta that he is supposed to shine in, he looked mundane at best. GG has also said that he was trying too much to prop up his teammates and sacrifice his individual power - in essance, playing jungle from the mid lane, and that he's learned to be more selfish during his time in Korea. You have Arcsecond and he looked pretty decent and you could build off him I feel. Why focus on GG when it was shown on several different teams that his stage performances aren't there? They have to know something that isn't public knowledge and makes it a reasonable path to follow. | ||

My opinion was from the start that benching Goldenglue and putting Piglet mid made no sense whatsoever. I was always very sure that Piglet would not stay in mid. So I see this move as at least rectifying that mistake. Although I would have preferred if they got rid of Piglet by now and got a mid lane import. | ||

I was very clearly shown to be in the wrong. I agree now that getting rid of Piglet to free up an import slot for a good midlaner would be the most sensible path forward for TL, but who would they even get? And are there decent ADCs who aren't already taken in NA? A Wildturtle-level player wouldn't do if TL wants to reach playoffs. | ||

TL shouldn't be a middle of the pack team with the amount of money they pay their jungler. The team will be fighting to get out of relegations and be mediocre after spending some of the most money in the league. | ||

Like you cant' blame the bot lane dying in 2v2s as a coaching issue. I can blame them for not getting rid of Matt. Or not helping him overcome his problems faster. Or continuing to have so much faith in Piglet. I'm trying to say that, while it's not their fault that the problems you mentioned started, they deserve the blame for not fixing those problems and creating new ones like Midlet (they had to okay that). | ||

While Steve is in charge of it all as an owner, doesn't all of these operational things for the team itself fall under the head coach's job description? It's his job to facilitate the needs of the coaching team and correct things when they aren't working. | ||

I view it more akin to how Regi has to come in and whip TSM into shape periodically, except unlike Regi, Steve has a history of staying really close to the team. | ||
