NWS isn't "middle-tier".

Meh. They've been top 5 most of the year, but they aren't the clear cut #3 team in OGN.
They did make a great run in Regionals to qualify, but they've been inconsistent and had a mediocre performance going 5-6 in Champions Summer.

He never said anything about indication of wins or losses. He simply said they'd have to come up with new strats since White has seen most of them from scrimming them so much.

Did you think he's really gonna say we went 2-18 vs SSW? Or whatever it was.
Come on. What is he supposed to say?
"Yeah, these guys are really good and are gonna kick our arse." Yeah right.

Factually yes, he never said SSW is a lot better, but he never would right before they play... would he?
But in a vlog talking about his chances... his body language and context clues indicated that they were trying to stay positive despite the Korean pain train that was on its way.

I took it as... SSW has a lot of advantages and the few things that worked in scrims... SSW will have a chance to evaluate and fix, and TSM will have to come up with new wrinkles to catch SSW off guard to win.

They sure can't tunnel onto champions and lose in Champ Select like they did in groups and expect to win.
