They aren't. TSM has always just played the meta. It's Regi's philosophy.

They've stated they are using the regular season to try different things (but staying in meta). I have faith that they'll figure out what works best for them by playoffs and come out like gangbusters (again).

I'm probably the biggest TSM fan on this board and even I wouldn't do that. Got a soft spot for ole Monte. Even if he is a complete idiot sometimes. I agreed with him on a lot of things concerning his issues with Riot. It's gotten to the point now that his bitching is just annoying like an ex that got dumped that can't get over you.

It was a good philosophy to get the team thinking long term (worlds) instead of short term (NA), but now that LoL has become more about international events and has grown, I think they need to adapt their philosophy.

I get mimicking the Koreans to improve, but at some point, I would think you have to add your own adaptions to it to fit your team's style.

It's like LSU's offense in football. It would be dumb for them to start straight up playing with a spread offense since their personnel isn't fit to run it. But if you tweak their current offense to add bits and certain concepts of the "meta" offenses in college football, they can play to their full potential.

TSM needs to incorporate meta strategies, however, full on copying the Koreans doesn't fit their roster.
