Zven and Mithy look ok on that site.



Ehhh, EU bot lanes were really really weak behind Rekkles. So that is tough to say, NA is much tougher down there and use imports.

They could just as easily come over to NA and flop.



Didn't DL and Bio absolutely shite on them at Rift Rivals too?

I expected changes. You can really expect a team to take the same roster to worlds 3 times in a row can you? Especially if they fail to get out of groups both times

That's not what I'm saying, you definitely make changes. I think everyone knew TSM was going to make some changes.

I'm saying they could have had made better choices IMO.

Contractz, LirA, Peanut at jungle. Idk why they took a gamble at jungle when they could have had a proven stud jungler for the first time in ages.

Keep DL, bring in a new support like Olleh, Aphro.

Yeah I think DL/Bio were 3-1 against them.

They could flop, or come over and play really well. No one really knows right now. Can’t wait for the first split to start.

Edit. Whoops. Had the record backwards.

DL didnt exactly shine at worlds. Neither did any of the other lanes really but if I was changing a lane thats the one I would of made changes to. I did really expect them to sign an import jungle along with Mike and keep Bio as an option to play a 2nd Roster of Haunzter,Import,Bjerg,Zven,Bio but it seems that wasnt in the cards.

Im going to trust that TSM got who they wanted as they have been rumored to be getting this roster the longest I have seen of any of the rumors

Neither did Zven and Mithy. DL in NA was the best adc in the NALCS. It is a gamble to get rid of him to bring in a bot lane from a much weaker bot lane region, that DL/Bio dumpstered head to head.

Then they take another larger gamble on an unknown very small sample size jungler.

TSM does not have a good history developing junglers either.

Could have done better, IMO. We'll see how it works out in a much more competitive league in 2018.

Zven is legit. But wasn't Mithy being talked about as an older player on his way out due to falling behind mechanically back around rift rivals time?

One thing that stood out in TSM's statement was that there were still gaps in the shotcalling. I'd bet a large sum of money that's why Mithy was brought on. They needed a voice in-game to keep them from going completely stagnant and Mithy has always been highly regarded as a shotcaller. It makes sense, just have to see if it works.

So was Yellowstar....

But in all seriousness, I am excited for the competitive scene going forward with all the franchising.

TSM subreddit said both Doublelift and bjergsen have alluded to a player on the team who would stop communicating in stressful situations... bio probably.

What sucks about the shotcalling thing is Doublelift's shotcalling was fantastic before he took the spring split off.

I would rather have MY at Jungle than Contractz. Contractz is fine, but that’s all he is.

You would be crazy to take Dardoch over MY. Immortals immediately got better by getting rid of the guy. He’s been benched multiple times and can’t seem to stick with any team. Regardless of his mechanical skill, the dude hasn’t shown he can work with a team.

#1 jungler in NA summer split, #1 NA performer at Worlds. 17 year old rookie.

The only 2 junglers at Worlds to rank ahead of Contractz? Ambition and Mlxg, the 2 finalists.

Ranked based on what? I mean playing between Jensen and Top Die certainly hasn't hurt him.

Oh shut the frick up, anyone that watched LoL knows how unreal good Contractz was at Worlds. You guys are just awful sometimes, so so fricking dumb.

I cannot believe I actually just read "I would take MY over Contractz" and the dumbass was serious.

That tops even the fanboyist dumbest of the dumbest shite Drewbie has ever said.

But C9 must of gotten rid of him for a reason right? I just find it funny that I dont think I have ever heard you say anything positive about the greatest team NA has ever had

Contractz was a restricted free agent. So either C9 wanted him out or he chose to ditch C9 for a roster that looks completely awful.

Because C9 was the best NA team at Worlds for the 2nd straight year.
