That IMT win makes a playoff berth pretty hard to achieve for TL now.

Wonder if that had something to do with the Diana pick.

No. With no MSI this year I don't see why anyone would care to do that as you get nothing for Spring.

Bjerg wanted Azir, Peter wanted to try Diana. That's my guess. Bio hovered Azir and switched last second. New Diana is kind of out of left field for Bjerg IMO.

I was more irritated by picking GP instead of taking Rakan to be honest. I'm not a fan of Xayah with a different support... Rakan is the champ you can pick without the duo. They got greedy and thought IMT were going in a different direction.

I won't be too upset when it takes 40+ minutes to lose a game they were obviously out-drafted in.

That was my first gripe. No clue why you don't just grab both with first rotation then grap GP as your 3rd pick. They already had Ornn. It's not like GP was going to be contested.

Bingo

They got out drafted. When you draft that bad you are bound to lose. Even Bjerg being useless on Diana they played pretty well, IMT just had a better team comp and TSM didn't look in sync with Diana.

I've had more problems with their drafts this year than their actual play.

You get some good drafts, like the game on Saturday and against C9 and FQ last week. You also get drafts with the Kayle/Maokai and Akali/Renekton.

They've gone back and forth from solid comfort drafts to weird experimental drafts all split so I'm not to worried about it. That loss doesn't change my impression that they aren't the second best team right now - even with other teams on winning streaks.

It's going to be an interesting last week and playoffs though!

I'm about to give up on solo/duo.

I can't play a game where a mid laner or someone doesn't go 3/10 in 15 mins.

My lane is fricked by 10 mins because of the roams by an over fed mid and jung tower diving.

I'm not the best player by any stretch, but I will never have 10 deaths by 10-15 mins, I will certainly not be the reason my team loses a game 99.9 percent of the time.

Not dying is the best asset you can bring to your team in ranked, and 90% of players in bronze-gold can't grasp that concept.

Remedied my own situation and went my mid myself with my jungle premade.

Dominated both games.

Amazing what happens by just not fricking dying double digits times in 10-15 mins.

Tryndamere.

He solo wins games in bronze/silver.

I'll give him a go.

The real issue is we always have at minimum one role that goes 0/10 type of score super early in the game. Usually mid so that mid snoballs the other lanes.

Gonna try to play more solo lanes to combat that issue

Yeah I completely dropped ADC. I'm either playing Trynd top or queueing mid/jg. There's really no other option if you're gonna climb solo.

As a mid laner it's usually jungle diff in my games. Mid/Jung duos are pretty hard to play against.

Yep. The vast majority of my success has come from jungle so far this season. If you have any idea of how to path and can stay on schedule with the timers, carrying your team with objective control is the easiest by far. AP Shyvana for the faster clears and a bit more of a safety net should the game go late (losing lane matchups, etc.) and Lee Sin for when I just want to get in and get out with a 26 minute soul drake.

I forget how much 1 for all sucks as a rotating game mode.

TSM Chokes away to 100T both teams are now 9-9

Nah that wasn't choking. The only reason that game was even remotely close was Bjerg just straight up being better than Ryoma. Apparently it's dogshit BB week this week and Peter straight inted the bot lane draft. Xayah/Rakan up again and instead put one of the best engagers in the League on Tahm Kench so Kobbe could play an immobile adc that was never going to be able to safely damage 100T's comp in teamfights.

TSM just doesn't care if Peter still has a job in Summer.

Is it just me or is NA the weakest it's been in multiple years? Outside of maybe C9 internationally.

Luckily it's early but woof.

Fire Cain and give academy top a shot next split.
