Also, when Hauntzer loses lane, he mentally checks out. His play becomes sloppy and forced, and it just makes a bad situation worse.

I honestly feel like he hates playing tanks and would rather play champions that have a bigger impact on the game.

They pretty much just shove him in a lane as Shen to mindlessly press R later when one of Sven or Turtle fricks up and gets caught out.

You could see it in the situations he winds up 1v4 or the ill advised flank teleport. He wants to make plays and influence the game.

We're back to where TSM was when they had YellowStar. Our comps and pick/ban is being effected by a player(s)' shortcomings. DL couldn't get off Kalista with YS because he HAD to have ult to save his dumbass support. Hauntzer HAS to abuse the OP bruiser/tank meta because TSM has zero win conditions available bot lane right now. I'm not flipping out over this performance and honestly this is about what I expected. I was actually pleasantly surprised that we were able to split with everyone not named SKT even without DL and with Sven playing like a monkey. DL comes back and either Sven has a heart to heart with someone or we smack a contract on TSM Levi.

It's just infuriating to see them have to put Hauntzer on Shen every game to try and make up for Sven/Turtle. Their only real success came when he was playing more carry champs.

P/B was atrocious.

It was, but it's like blaming Phil Jackson for the Bulls not being able to win without Jordan. He just doesn't have the roster to do anything about it.

I'm here for the melt.

So tired of seeing TSM suck in international play. Embarrassed at how much this region blows.

Bjergsen and 4 wards again.

Hauntzer is still good but he's way overrated. all the people saying hauntzer > bjergsen for MVP. The only time bjergsen got handled was when Sven donated doublebuffs to faker at lvl 2. Hauntzer got dumpstered multiple times at MSI. Can't play fizz. Can't play against fizz. Can't play galio. Can't play against galio. Bjergsen always shows up.

They got outdrafted about half of their games and it was happening in LCS too. How many times did tsm just get completely mindfricked by a flex pick?

I wish I could be a fly on the wall when Regi was talking to the team. He has literally been telling them all spring if you keep playing like this you're going to get shite on at worlds.

Chances Parth is gone before summer starts?

ETA: I forgot to mention Sven completely hamstringing the team in game and champ select. He is uncompetitive on everyone except lee and Ivern at this level and everyone knows it. Teams banned ivern and picked lee away most games. When TSM was red side, they had to prioritize Lee or Sven would feed. The other teams capitalized on that in pick/ban. Reminds me of all stars when scarra could only play Diana. When your champion pool is that fricking limited you cannot play pro league of legends.

I've started watching pro league more and more the past couple weeks, mainly to watch MSI. Pretty disappointed that they managed to lose that game last night. It seemed they had an edge until late game where each team fight could decide the game.

I guess I'm not good enough to notice total mechanical flaws during the game, but I can tell you the Pick/Bans by TSM are pretty awful.

They played well enough to win that game last night I thought, but they made a huge mistake by not being anywhere near baron when G2 started it.

He certainly doesn't seem to play to his potential on the international level, however I agree with Drew's sentiments that they have to stick him on these non carry top laners to compensate for Turtle. Once Doublelift returns, I'm hoping that changes.

This is what's truly inexcusable. As many resources they have and as much time as they spend on watching "film" and strategizing, there is ZERO reason for them to get demolished in pick/bans the way they do.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is. TSM has had this same issue with their junglers before. I'm obviously not a pro, but how difficult is it to expand your champion pool? I feel like you should be proficient at more than just 2 champions if you are an LCS player.

He played a pretty well Elise game at MSI.

Hes not causing issues in pick and ban. There are very few jungles that are priority. Peanut has only played 4 Different champions.Does he have a crappy champion pool aswell? Basically only Graves/Lee/Elise/Ivern are being picked

I would say the issue in P/B seems to be that they are forcing Hauntzer into Shen to protect him (and Turtle). I really can't think of another reason why they were so focused on Shen.

Can't even get INTO my first ranked game before people start acting like idiots.

Our top picks thresh, our adc picks Eve, and our support picks Caitlyn.

Now I'm forced to dodge and lose LP because this community is fricking retarded.

I'm guessing we're gonna see adc/support go top. Dragon is less of a priority with how nasty that new RH is on towers.

Still 100x better than Nexus siege.

I think AR Hexakill would be interesting.

I'm probably the minority here, but I don't really enjoy the other game modes. I like Summoner's Rift. I'll play ARAM a couple times a month, but I like the original design and game play of the standard format.

I really hate URF. Not sure why, I just get so aggravated playing it.
