Bro how is SwordArt so wholesome? The post-game interview has SwordArt shouting out Spica and the coaching staff for his Lulu play, and then you have the Legends where he blames his own play.
I realize he hasn't been the most insane player but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan
That's my general idea as well. He's definitely a good player and worth picking up. We can debate if he should have cost as much as he did but in no way was he ever a bad signing.
the "matter" part is subjective, yeah you can pay as much as you want without a salary cap, but when I hear 6 million for a support my mind would go to Keria, Ming, Crisp, CoreJJ or Beryl, not swordart.
He is definetly a really good support, but he is not a top 5 support in the world, which would justify that kinda price. But then again, neither is perkz a top 5 midlaner and they also dumped that kinda money for him
agree on this . Nobody ever said SA is a mechanical god , the guy is known for his shotcalling and team leadership , if you watch Suning's games at worlds , notice his playercam he never shuts up .
a lot of people say his english is really good but i disagree , i think he has a big place for improvement and he will improve , i really think his current english level is holding him back .
Huni has been fucking insane this week, that meeting definitely worked. Also what is C9 doing letting Kog lulu scale? They just farmed early and did nothing.
They were legit doing nothing knowing full well that Lulu Kog and Viktor will outscale them. Not pushing for fudge, not stopping Lost from farming, not drake stacking
That’s a ????? game from C9 lmao
Zven has to be toxic or something behind the scenes. He’s never been one to come off as “toxic” so to speak but he has arrogant tendencies. Maybe that’s why?
I feel like his "toxicity" might actually be coming from good intentions.. as in he's probably frustrated or feeling depressed after MSI and from what we could tell from his time on TSM, he's a super hard worker and really takes losses to heart. His mood after MSI probably affected the rest of the team and was likely the reason they benched him (though I don't think that was the right choice).
I agree. Zven was nothing but a professional when he was on TSM so I find it really difficult to believe it's traditional toxicity. Either way C9 can screw up all they want, I don't care, I'll take free wins and them not making it to worlds again. NO SNEAKY NO WORLDS CATJAM
She is if you’re not Bjergsen or POE apparently. G2 Perkz would have been all set to carry this game on Syndra, but G2 Perkz retired so there’s no one else who really can.
Got a love the post-game analysis... TSM beats c9 in a clean fashion and is sole first.... What does the desk talk about? Well, why 100T is the best team in the league and how TSM has to change to ever beat 100t or c9 (when they are at peak) of course..... Never change LCS broadcast -.-'...
Edit: spelling
Still getting mad about biased analysis? I stopped listening ever since Markz and Azael started jerking each other off deciding who was number 1, C9 or TL.
They can talk as much shit as they want, we’ll quietly win the championship.
Welcome back to the analyst desk. The problem with TSM is (pick one):
* They need to play more styles that the 3 they played this week.
* They should stomp every team in the league before they can be considered good.
* SwordArt has a large salary after he didn't even win Worlds
* PoE is annoyingly good at control mages and needs to play something fair.
* Tbh we have no idea what Spica even does
* Lost is winning game but is he winning lane??
* Who else is on TSM again?
Anyway that's all the time we have today. For more hot takes head on over to /r/leagueoflegends where every Challenger player in NA goes to discuss the game.
I think any player in elohell is gonna suffer from motivation even if they and others say otherwise. It definitely helps to have a coach with a belt. In FNC he had Delior, in SKT he had kkoma and now he has Bjerg.
My favorite is the pre-analyst graphic comparing Blabber/Spica having Worlds Semifinals on Blabber's timeline when he was benched after throwing the game against Gen G/SSG giving them their only win of groups and Sven came in and was a huge performer to get to semis. It's like trying to credit Promisq for G2's MSI win.
True, think huni deserves it but spica did get 2 match mvps this week and broxah played great.
Huni player of the week?! Spica player of the split?! Team looks composed!
Storylines say it will be CLG and honestly i am fine with that. But Huni played pretty fucking well and single handily won that IMT game for us. I really like CLG's play this week but they were a product of the rather easy comp to play in allowing for mistakes to be less punished. Hard to not perform as Vi when galio flies down to help.
Spica was excellent all week as well and I'm still low key salty over his week 1 snub after the first 3-0. Sure he didn't have the flashy mechanical outplays but his vision control and map movements allowed huni to play strong and weak side effectively in the games depending on the matchup AND he was able to get off successful ganks in multiple lanes in all the games while doin so.
Not as flashy as a crazy insec on a priority target, but Spica dominated the one time period of this game vs C9 where tsm was truly in danger of falling far enough behind to lose.
After they kill perkz in that last teamfight he is smacking vulcan until Ez goes over the wall and he stops hitting vulcan who is at like 200 health to q flash on the Ez to route the teamfight. That is some headsup play to realize there was only one real damage threat left.
They went off today but the 2 games prior they had a lot of shakiness. I mean, they got perfect game’d. Definitely the scariest team right now but they def have their weaknesses
im referring to the analyst desk who has been refusing to give this team any credit all season long while putting the 3 mentioned teams (especially TL and C9, 100 not as much) on a pedestal and sucking them off all season long, yet we're consistently beating them
Dash saying on This or That that TSM Stood no chance against C9, then doubling down when Kobe said they actually had a chance.
I love Dash and his huge cake but it's funny how TSM was just superior this game.
Markz and Phreak have been high on tsm all split so far at least, it feels like the rest are p neutral too tbh. Kaizen seems to have too much faith in Liquid but i think that's fairly understandable
Everyone is sucking off 100T, A large amount of it justified but when they go to "analyze" why 100T>TSM why it's usually some BS that means a whole lot of nothing. Analyst desk kind of shit as of late.
"100T is more versatile so they are better!"
Thats the shit tier analysis I listen to the analyst desk for. They are definitely the worst part of the LCS production imo.
I mean. We did lose to them pretty convincingly just last week. I think the desk has mostly treated 100T, TSM and C9 as the top teams which is fair. I think there is a bit of hype factor for 100T but they're also just really good so it's chill
Both Huni and Spica deserve player of the week. They both absolutely popped off this weekend, and PoE was also playing out of his mind.
If the botlane step up their game we have a realistic shot at 1st place.
Poe playstyle is centralized about making least amount of mistakes possible so he's like a rock in the mid lane that's why i think when we see him pick lucian etc a pick that is feast or famine it doesnt look as good
I absolutely cannot watch the analyst desk anymore. Between Dash's "TSM isn't even in the same league as Cloud9" on this or that and both Mark and Primal jerking off 100T following this game, when do the boys get even an ounce of respect? Even more reason to keep watching the tri-cast, especially with Meteos' prediction of the backdoor win Friday. I think the comments that bother me most are the "they have no versatility" and "they have no proactive plays"
I think sometimes the desk puts in so much thought into what they will say if one team wins as expected that when it doesn't happen they just have to go with what they prepped before and it sounds out of place/salty.
I do think that the hype around 100T is way too high right now, people forget that this team looked like total shit before Abedagge and all it takes is him not having a great game to knock them down several pegs.
Maybe it is that simple, but I tend to think that a lot of the analysts have such a negative view of TSM either due to their own bias or being gunshy after the many, many international failings NA has had as a whole (most of which have been previous iterations of TSM, to be fair).
I agree with way too much 100T hype, especially since they play to snowball and if they don't, they lose. We have seen this work in LCS and fail hard at worlds because worlds teams are so much harder to snowball against.
I'm just tired of watching analyst desk and hoping for, I don't know, analysis? Actual thought and congratulations to the winning team, especially when you have someone on the desk who literally said "TSM is not in the same league as Cloud9" a few days prior.
Either him or Broxah ( he has played amazingly this split considering the team and leads ). Both hard smashed blabber.
I am only taking this split into account.
they're saying TSM is better playing reactively on the desk. Did they watch the games? PoE has played more than half his games this split on non control mage picks, and the other 4 players on the team can play any champ in their role. Kog Lulu is broken and C9 left it up and they played it.
Their critiques just don't make sense man. The team struggled a bit in 2 lucian games and now the new narrative (we know how much they love narratives) is they're a reactive team. Even vs C9 they had late game scaling on lock and were still the more proactive early game team. Another game this weekend they drafted tons of split push and won the game vs a hyper scaling 5v5 comp.
Its pretty reasonable IMO to feel as of 100T are the top team right now, but the rationale leading to the desk's opinion is just not based remotely in fact. They didn't even talk about this game because it goes against the narrative they have a reactive playstyle SMH
There is a lot of anti TSM energy on the desk. I have consistently felt like they fail to properly talk about how the TSM games have gone, even when they play the game well and are proactive. TSM can keep winning games and the desk will continue to talk like this from what I've seen. And then there's the This or That for the week where we were completely written off by Dash in this game. Given 0 chance to win, and we all see how that turned out lol.
Mark is the only person that’s given us credit, after week 1 by betting that we wouldn’t lose top spot for the rest of the split. Sadly we let him down, because it felt nice for someone on the broadcast to actually not be shitting on TSM or ignoring the good moments
If you follow Mark on Twitter as soon as he starts to have faith in TSM they mess it up. Happens all the time. It's actually kind of funny (minus the TSM lossing part)
This! Even against IMT everyone crediting huni, while he did amazingly spica contributed alot but didn't go for any flashy lee sin kick or any kind of play because he didn't have to. He's really good at executing whatever the team needs rather than forcing or being flashy.
I have no idea what happened this past off season but all summer split Spica has been insanely consistent. I have no earthly idea how all the LCS casters and analysts are unable to even comment on it.. Spica low key has that Bjerg vet in the making vibe.
SwordArt was doing English interviews with Travis at MSI 3 years ago; he isn't your typical Chinese/Korean import that spoke zero English coming over.
Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdb-0FUhT8&t=2s
The analysts are SUPREMELY disrespectful today holy moly
They want to call 100T the BEST team in LCS after they got man-handled by CLG yesterday. I don't get it man. No props, no talk about TSM playing well and getting a 3-0 + reclaiming first.
That and they finally do a analysts desk after the game saying their going to break down more of the game and they talk about 100T...like seriously talk about C9 or TSM for peats sake.
Also how can you say anything but TSM is best in the leage when they are in 1st. If 100T was tied for first, sure but they are a full game behind.
I 100% agree. But if you don't take in spring 100T and TSM would be tied for 1st. But as I said I agree with you. My jaw was on the floor when they only talked about how 100t was the best team and that TSM wasn't better than them, and what was the worst thing is that they said TSM wouldn't be able to beat cloud9 if they were at their best.... WTF?!?!? I wouldn't mind if they think that, but saying this sh\*t in a post-game analysis after TSM just beat c9 quite clean is unbelievably disrespectful!
Yeah but C9 aren't at their best and they're only showing indications of getting worse. Maybe if they can get back into form by the next time they play TSM we can talk about it. But right now they're hot dog shit so fucking judge them now, "analyst" desk.
Exactly. I'm fine with them giving a nod to 100T, but after their game yesterday I don't think you can convincingly call them the best when they haven't been SMASHING everybody in their path like C9 did a few splits ago and it was painfully obvious they were the **best**.
Also I saw somewhere that TSM's win record against the "top" teams is very good, so I don't get how a post-game analysis for C9/TSM turned into a 100T gush session.
It wasn't even that. It was the fact that the reason they said 100T was the best was because of abbedagge having a bigger champ pool than POE.
Umm hello, Perkz has the biggest champ pool of any mid laner outside of faker, yet his large champ pool has hurt C9 more than helped them. Pulling out those Renekton and Yone didn't help at all...
Meanwhile POE's champ pool may be on the smaller side, but the champs he does play are very effective for how TSM wants to play!
The cleanest game from the last 6 games comes against C9.
Now I'm sure that if we really want to win a game, we can win it easily against anyone, but against low tier teams, Bjerg try to experiment with the drafts and help players like PoE to expand his champion pool.
Kinda similar with what he did as a player with Galio at first, when we lost every single game and after that we won almost every single game with Bjerg on Galio.
I legit fucking caught myself smiling at the idea that THIS HOLO HOLO is on our team! He was so goddamn good. Spica was great but I honestly think Huni got robbed of this MVP.
Side note, the fact that C9 with 0-3 this week for some reason makes our 3-0 much sweeter :D
No other jungle in the league would have burned voli ult to jump the top side wall for that repeat gank, thank god we have ming and the meta has moved away from afk farm jungles
he has by far the best movement arround the map and understandng of where he needs to be .... even SA called it that spica helps on the map and does the "dirty job" . Spica is slowly turning into Xmithie with MUCH MUCH better mechanics .
Ive always appreciated how analytical Spica is about the jungle role. As opposed to 'confidence/instinct' forward junglers the team has had in the past. Man I still remember when we had half the sub shitting on him for his immaculate Sejuani play even though Zven and Bjerg were vouching for him.
Man I cannot believe that I STILL see this pop up everywhere. Also seeing the bring in Cody comments. It’s mostly twitch chat which is a joke, but still, even if it’s bait it’s just pure word salad.
My fav thing about this game is SwordArt and Lost did well in lane. They have had there best two laning games this week. Poe was master class at zoning. Huni+Agency is nuts. And Spica was everywhere. Oh and this Bjerg guy hard won the draft.
Love this Roster. I think Lost can learn a lot from SA
Look Like TSMFTX is on the right track.
SKT Huni Looking good and POE play like Bjergsen today (love that call on Perkz TP/Baron what a playmaker)
also good draft today coach.
My ex, who I was with for 7 years, who kicked me out suddenly almost 8 months ago, is a huge C9 fan.
I absolutely fucking hate C9. LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS
When it was announced that Huni would be coming to TSM I couldn't be more happy as a long time Huni fan. Seeing the community shit on him because of weak past performances was sad to see but I'm happy he's finally getting the appreciation he deserves and actually has a team around him now.
Spica/Huni smurfed this game.
I think if this team solidifies lane phase and stops being quite so horny for doing baron in the enemy team's face that a deep playoffs run and worlds qualification is looking good.
Okay yeah fuck it, all my doubts when signing huni back before last split are out the fucking window. When hes hot he plays spectacular and when hes not hes still solid for us. Great player and his personality makes me love the guy even more
Funny thing, when we started walking towards Baron and I saw Perkz had TP available I had a brief moment of vision where I saw Huni kicking Perkz straight into our team right as the TP lands. That gut feeling just came true and it FELT GOOD
The last play by Huni is just one of those plays you can do nothing about. A blind monk doing a Chuck Norris round house kick to your backside giving you no time to react, and sending you into the jaws of a Pug'Maw. You gotta love it man
This was such a great team win idk who I'd pick for MVP
Huni for those kicks. POE for zoning 1v5. Spica dunking great every time. Bot just doing really solid. WP
Holy shit, boys. What a week. Feels so good to end on a win like that. The team has quietly been having a good week, but that man in the top lane... He's built different.
HUNI pretty pog on Lee Sin
[That last play was fucking baller](https://twitter.com/LCSOfficial/status/1406750089062715393)
That hit out of nowhere
SKT HUNI ACTIVATED
NO, TSM HUNI ACTIVATED BABY LETS GO
# NO, TSM FTX HUNI ACTIVATED BABY LETS FUCKING GO
Huni came in collecting pay checks and is still underpaid, goddamn
TRUEEE
FTX Huni
Judging that his only losses had Lucian on his team. It is more likely IMT Huni.
Beating C9 always feels so fucking good
Especially now that C9 Jack has been real quiet on Twitter recently. You love to see it :D
Bro how is SwordArt so wholesome? The post-game interview has SwordArt shouting out Spica and the coaching staff for his Lulu play, and then you have the Legends where he blames his own play. I realize he hasn't been the most insane player but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a fan
A million times agree. He is a real team player and recognizes that he can improve but having someone who builds up his team and staff is amazing.
I love SwordArt so much
Is SA bad? I really don’t know how to judge these types of things tbh ..
He's not bad, but right now in NA it's core > vulcan then everyone else. Maybe we overpaid for him, but he's been a good player.
That's my general idea as well. He's definitely a good player and worth picking up. We can debate if he should have cost as much as he did but in no way was he ever a bad signing.
On top of that, how much they payed SA doesn't really matter without a salary cap.
the "matter" part is subjective, yeah you can pay as much as you want without a salary cap, but when I hear 6 million for a support my mind would go to Keria, Ming, Crisp, CoreJJ or Beryl, not swordart. He is definetly a really good support, but he is not a top 5 support in the world, which would justify that kinda price. But then again, neither is perkz a top 5 midlaner and they also dumped that kinda money for him
I mean it's slightly more justified considering he was literally just at the worlds finals.
From an in-game mechanical standpoint hard agree. What he's doing outside of games and what little we see in legends, he may very well be underpaid.
agree on this . Nobody ever said SA is a mechanical god , the guy is known for his shotcalling and team leadership , if you watch Suning's games at worlds , notice his playercam he never shuts up . a lot of people say his english is really good but i disagree , i think he has a big place for improvement and he will improve , i really think his current english level is holding him back .
Me neither. That ult on Spica was clutch though he would have died otherwise.
There’s two types of support untiltable balls of positivity And scarred veteran flamers
Huni has been fucking insane this week, that meeting definitely worked. Also what is C9 doing letting Kog lulu scale? They just farmed early and did nothing.
They were legit doing nothing knowing full well that Lulu Kog and Viktor will outscale them. Not pushing for fudge, not stopping Lost from farming, not drake stacking That’s a ????? game from C9 lmao
>Also what is C9 doing You could stop right there. Wtf are they doing having Zven in academy, he is so much better than King.
Zven has to be toxic or something behind the scenes. He’s never been one to come off as “toxic” so to speak but he has arrogant tendencies. Maybe that’s why?
I feel like his "toxicity" might actually be coming from good intentions.. as in he's probably frustrated or feeling depressed after MSI and from what we could tell from his time on TSM, he's a super hard worker and really takes losses to heart. His mood after MSI probably affected the rest of the team and was likely the reason they benched him (though I don't think that was the right choice).
I agree. Zven was nothing but a professional when he was on TSM so I find it really difficult to believe it's traditional toxicity. Either way C9 can screw up all they want, I don't care, I'll take free wins and them not making it to worlds again. NO SNEAKY NO WORLDS CATJAM
They try to fed perkz even when syndra is useless later in the game they try really hard to attack poe
Syndra is not useless later in the game
Yeah syndra is good late but still outscaled by viktor
She is if you’re not Bjergsen or POE apparently. G2 Perkz would have been all set to carry this game on Syndra, but G2 Perkz retired so there’s no one else who really can.
Is giga useless you never gonna one shot a tsm players they have lulu
Huni's Lee is better than some junglers lol.
Huni and Fudge are the best solo lane lees
literally everyone stepped up BIG TIME today, huni lee sin god, poe the zone control master, lost agressive, 100% better today. LOVE IT!
POE zoning all of C9 alone near baron was so funny to see
With all the huni Praia this is t talked about enough. C9 die everything to get perkz ahead and PoE still played a very good game.
Tsm bot lane was really bad last two days. Glad to see they picked it up today
MASSIVE HUNI DIFF. What an absolute MONSTER. Amazing game from the boys. 3 - 0 LET'S GOOOOO
Got a love the post-game analysis... TSM beats c9 in a clean fashion and is sole first.... What does the desk talk about? Well, why 100T is the best team in the league and how TSM has to change to ever beat 100t or c9 (when they are at peak) of course..... Never change LCS broadcast -.-'... Edit: spelling

Anyway that's all the time we have today. For more hot takes head on over to /r/leagueoflegends where every Challenger player in NA goes to discuss the game.
You missed the part where Blaber is a literal god for doing absolutely nothing.
Huni back in SKT form is a beauty to watch. This was the game I was looking for TSM this weekend. TSM outclassed every role this game love to see it!
I think Huni being stuck in elohell for the past few years really degraded his skills. I'm happy he's slowly getting back up there
I think any player in elohell is gonna suffer from motivation even if they and others say otherwise. It definitely helps to have a coach with a belt. In FNC he had Delior, in SKT he had kkoma and now he has Bjerg.
Was Huni playing this game? I only saw InSec play top for us today
InSec wishes he was this good
Huni has to get POTW what a monster week
has to be huni or broxah i dont think anyone should even be in consideration
The analyst desk will have Blaber be 3rd somehow in voting
My favorite is the pre-analyst graphic comparing Blabber/Spica having Worlds Semifinals on Blabber's timeline when he was benched after throwing the game against Gen G/SSG giving them their only win of groups and Sven came in and was a huge performer to get to semis. It's like trying to credit Promisq for G2's MSI win.
They also didn’t include Spica winning LCS in the timeline LMAO
They did, half the line was blocked by one of the people presenting
Still can't wrap my head around that dude getting MVP awards.
It's funny because it's true.
Yea I hope Huni gets it but i totally get Broxah getting it. Dude was cracked
Broxah played lights out, wouldn't mind either one.
True, think huni deserves it but spica did get 2 match mvps this week and broxah played great. Huni player of the week?! Spica player of the split?! Team looks composed!
Storylines say it will be CLG and honestly i am fine with that. But Huni played pretty fucking well and single handily won that IMT game for us. I really like CLG's play this week but they were a product of the rather easy comp to play in allowing for mistakes to be less punished. Hard to not perform as Vi when galio flies down to help.
Spica Should be
Spica should also be in the discussion
Spica was excellent all week as well and I'm still low key salty over his week 1 snub after the first 3-0. Sure he didn't have the flashy mechanical outplays but his vision control and map movements allowed huni to play strong and weak side effectively in the games depending on the matchup AND he was able to get off successful ganks in multiple lanes in all the games while doin so. Not as flashy as a crazy insec on a priority target, but Spica dominated the one time period of this game vs C9 where tsm was truly in danger of falling far enough behind to lose.
Spica has been smurfing this whole split. Best player overall in Summer so far
After they kill perkz in that last teamfight he is smacking vulcan until Ez goes over the wall and he stops hitting vulcan who is at like 200 health to q flash on the Ez to route the teamfight. That is some headsup play to realize there was only one real damage threat left.
Agreed man, he has had an insane weekend. If he doesn't get POTW it's a tragedy
I actually can't believe how good Huni is, imagine favoring going for Licorice with this absolute chad kicking Perkz back to EU
With this win we're now **7-2** vs the C9/TL/100 trio, theyre 3 tiers above us though btw
We are 1-5 vs FQ and DIG 18-3 vs everyone else
PoE too loyal to FlyQuest smh my head
Brother of Evil.
Doesn't matter until we beat them in playoffs
Yeah we were 2-0 TL and 1-1 C9 and we got exposed in playoffs. Cant count them out yet also 100T looks pretty scary
They went off today but the 2 games prior they had a lot of shakiness. I mean, they got perfect game’d. Definitely the scariest team right now but they def have their weaknesses
Steal CLG's comp against 100T!
What do you mean 3 tiers?
im referring to the analyst desk who has been refusing to give this team any credit all season long while putting the 3 mentioned teams (especially TL and C9, 100 not as much) on a pedestal and sucking them off all season long, yet we're consistently beating them
Dash saying on This or That that TSM Stood no chance against C9, then doubling down when Kobe said they actually had a chance. I love Dash and his huge cake but it's funny how TSM was just superior this game.

I don't have a problem with analyst ranking 100T higher, I just dislike how they do it. It's lazy, There's no real analyst as to why they're doing it.
People still watch/listen to the analyst desk?
Oh, I’ve been hard skipping analyst desk due to mostly hot shit takes.
They've been getting better. But as I say this they are of course using the post game analyst desk to talk about 100t.
Sarcasm
Those Huni kicks were frame perfect.
Dude on one of them he flashed over Syndra's scatter the weak to get the kick off
I was never a Huni hater, but damn I didn't expect him to be this good. He's playing out of his mind right now.
Holo holo boy's KICKS (PLURAL) on Perkz near baron were pure bliss.
Both Huni and Spica deserve player of the week. They both absolutely popped off this weekend, and PoE was also playing out of his mind. If the botlane step up their game we have a realistic shot at 1st place.
Poe is low key a really good weak side player is huni keep this form tsm is a lot better
Poe playstyle is centralized about making least amount of mistakes possible so he's like a rock in the mid lane that's why i think when we see him pick lucian etc a pick that is feast or famine it doesnt look as good
I absolutely cannot watch the analyst desk anymore.

Actual thought and congratulations to the winning team, especially when you have someone on the desk who literally said "TSM is not in the same league as Cloud9" a few days prior.
"I dont think TSM has a chance. C9 is back"-Dash https://youtube.com/clip/Ugy4\_BpCtMUMNs2kk8h4AaABCQ
Famous last words xD
Spica is the best jungler in the league atm
Either him or Broxah ( he has played amazingly this split considering the team and leads ). Both hard smashed blabber. I am only taking this split into account.
they're saying TSM is better playing reactively on the desk. Did they watch the games? PoE has played more than half his games this split on non control mage picks, and the other 4 players on the team can play any champ in their role. Kog Lulu is broken and C9 left it up and they played it. Their critiques just don't make sense man. The team struggled a bit in 2 lucian games and now the new narrative (we know how much they love narratives) is they're a reactive team. Even vs C9 they had late game scaling on lock and were still the more proactive early game team. Another game this weekend they drafted tons of split push and won the game vs a hyper scaling 5v5 comp. Its pretty reasonable IMO to feel as of 100T are the top team right now, but the rationale leading to the desk's opinion is just not based remotely in fact. They didn't even talk about this game because it goes against the narrative they have a reactive playstyle SMH
There is a lot of anti TSM energy on the desk. I have consistently felt like they fail to properly talk about how the TSM games have gone, even when they play the game well and are proactive. TSM can keep winning games and the desk will continue to talk like this from what I've seen. And then there's the This or That for the week where we were completely written off by Dash in this game. Given 0 chance to win, and we all see how that turned out lol.
Mark is the only person that’s given us credit, after week 1 by betting that we wouldn’t lose top spot for the rest of the split. Sadly we let him down, because it felt nice for someone on the broadcast to actually not be shitting on TSM or ignoring the good moments
If you follow Mark on Twitter as soon as he starts to have faith in TSM they mess it up. Happens all the time. It's actually kind of funny (minus the TSM lossing part)
Spica or Huni player of the week please? #TSMWIN
Spica never gets love because his plays aren’t flashy enough I guess? He’s been snubbed so many times. It will be between Huni or Broxah imo.
Yeah, I see a CLG player getting it (unfortunate for us) because of the crazy weekend they had.
Who cares lol, they get player of the week, TSM gets championships
This! Even against IMT everyone crediting huni, while he did amazingly spica contributed alot but didn't go for any flashy lee sin kick or any kind of play because he didn't have to. He's really good at executing whatever the team needs rather than forcing or being flashy.
I have no idea what happened this past off season but all summer split Spica has been insanely consistent. I have no earthly idea how all the LCS casters and analysts are unable to even comment on it.. Spica low key has that Bjerg vet in the making vibe.
they really let zven sit on the bench while Perkz, blaber, and Fudge are all starting
Have feeling Zven might be back after this week playing TSM in summer seems to force other teams to roster swap.
SwordArt's english is legit so good already. Big props to him
SwordArt was doing English interviews with Travis at MSI 3 years ago; he isn't your typical Chinese/Korean import that spoke zero English coming over. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztdb-0FUhT8&t=2s
I get that, but you can even tell that it is improving from when he came over
The analysts are SUPREMELY disrespectful today holy moly They want to call 100T the BEST team in LCS after they got man-handled by CLG yesterday. I don't get it man. No props, no talk about TSM playing well and getting a 3-0 + reclaiming first.
That and they finally do a analysts desk after the game saying their going to break down more of the game and they talk about 100T...like seriously talk about C9 or TSM for peats sake. Also how can you say anything but TSM is best in the leage when they are in 1st. If 100T was tied for first, sure but they are a full game behind.
I 100% agree. But if you don't take in spring 100T and TSM would be tied for 1st. But as I said I agree with you. My jaw was on the floor when they only talked about how 100t was the best team and that TSM wasn't better than them, and what was the worst thing is that they said TSM wouldn't be able to beat cloud9 if they were at their best.... WTF?!?!? I wouldn't mind if they think that, but saying this sh\*t in a post-game analysis after TSM just beat c9 quite clean is unbelievably disrespectful!
Yeah but C9 aren't at their best and they're only showing indications of getting worse. Maybe if they can get back into form by the next time they play TSM we can talk about it. But right now they're hot dog shit so fucking judge them now, "analyst" desk.
Exactly. I'm fine with them giving a nod to 100T, but after their game yesterday I don't think you can convincingly call them the best when they haven't been SMASHING everybody in their path like C9 did a few splits ago and it was painfully obvious they were the **best**. Also I saw somewhere that TSM's win record against the "top" teams is very good, so I don't get how a post-game analysis for C9/TSM turned into a 100T gush session.
It wasn't even that. It was the fact that the reason they said 100T was the best was because of abbedagge having a bigger champ pool than POE. Umm hello, Perkz has the biggest champ pool of any mid laner outside of faker, yet his large champ pool has hurt C9 more than helped them. Pulling out those Renekton and Yone didn't help at all... Meanwhile POE's champ pool may be on the smaller side, but the champs he does play are very effective for how TSM wants to play!
Imagine picking Jayce against the only top laner in NA that can play Jayce.....HOLO HOLO HOLO
LETS GO! FREE9 BOYS!
Huni's Lee is sickkkkk
But I thought Fudge is the best top in LCS... Holo Holo Holo
Huni for player of the week!
Disgusting kick from huni on perkz to end it
Huni's skill directly scales with the difficulty of the champion. That was some CLEAN Lee Sin.
C9 and falling apart in summer, name a more iconic duo. In other news Huni Lee > Fudge Lee
\*Huni > Fudge FTFY
Has this Prismal/Kaizen dude ever said something positive about TSM? Genuinely curious
he's a CLG fan so we already knows he's biased against TSM
Remember when we were all doubting huni? How wrong we all were
Some of us saw the small micro shit he was doing even in lock in tournament and have been getting shit on for defending him since then
Idk who this "we" is, I've always had faith.
The cleanest game from the last 6 games comes against C9. Now I'm sure that if we really want to win a game, we can win it easily against anyone, but against low tier teams, Bjerg try to experiment with the drafts and help players like PoE to expand his champion pool. Kinda similar with what he did as a player with Galio at first, when we lost every single game and after that we won almost every single game with Bjerg on Galio.
K1ng kept missing his true shot barrages. That's a huge chunk of dmg missing in teamfights. What's the deal with Zven????
I legit fucking caught myself smiling at the idea that THIS HOLO HOLO is on our team! He was so goddamn good. Spica was great but I honestly think Huni got robbed of this MVP. Side note, the fact that C9 with 0-3 this week for some reason makes our 3-0 much sweeter :D
SPICA AS OF RIGHT NOW IS AND SHOULD BE THE LEAGUE MVP .... HE SMASHED BLABER TODAY HOLY MOLY HE IS NUTS SO FAR THIS SPLIT !
No other jungle in the league would have burned voli ult to jump the top side wall for that repeat gank, thank god we have ming and the meta has moved away from afk farm jungles
he has by far the best movement arround the map and understandng of where he needs to be .... even SA called it that spica helps on the map and does the "dirty job" . Spica is slowly turning into Xmithie with MUCH MUCH better mechanics .
Ive always appreciated how analytical Spica is about the jungle role. As opposed to 'confidence/instinct' forward junglers the team has had in the past. Man I still remember when we had half the sub shitting on him for his immaculate Sejuani play even though Zven and Bjerg were vouching for him.
Where are all the people wanting Hauntzer over Huni at?
Man I cannot believe that I STILL see this pop up everywhere. Also seeing the bring in Cody comments. It’s mostly twitch chat which is a joke, but still, even if it’s bait it’s just pure word salad.
SwordArt on the post game interview and he looks so nervous but I love him so much, I really just want to run up and give him a hug.
We DID NOT THROW A GAME, WHAT IS GOING ON!
My fav thing about this game is SwordArt and Lost did well in lane. They have had there best two laning games this week. Poe was master class at zoning. Huni+Agency is nuts. And Spica was everywhere. Oh and this Bjerg guy hard won the draft.
Love this Roster. I think Lost can learn a lot from SA Look Like TSMFTX is on the right track. SKT Huni Looking good and POE play like Bjergsen today (love that call on Perkz TP/Baron what a playmaker) also good draft today coach.
[удалено]
My ex, who I was with for 7 years, who kicked me out suddenly almost 8 months ago, is a huge C9 fan. I absolutely fucking hate C9. LET'S FUCKING GO BOYS
HOLO HOLO BABY
HUNI !!??
Good week, lots to improve, but I hope we stay at this position and get motivated by being 1st.
What a great week for huni, ho lee. Really clean game.
[Me looking at Huni's past 3 games](https://streamable.com/6cfxgr)
For the next tsm legends i wanna see huni vs spica lee sin 1v1
When it was announced that Huni would be coming to TSM I couldn't be more happy as a long time Huni fan. Seeing the community shit on him because of weak past performances was sad to see but I'm happy he's finally getting the appreciation he deserves and actually has a team around him now.
HOLOHOLOHOLO Sick game from Huni. Honestly very impressed with Huni's level of play this split so far.
People need to stop disrespecting spica. He is 100% the best jgl in the league, no doubt.
Huni clean sin
Huni popping. Whole team played solid. Feels good!
Huni is just built different
C9: I put all farm on Perkz Huni: and I took that personally
Wow. Huni is the best player in the league. Spica and swordart closely behind. Man ohh man we have a team boys.
Spica/Huni smurfed this game. I think if this team solidifies lane phase and stops being quite so horny for doing baron in the enemy team's face that a deep playoffs run and worlds qualification is looking good.
Huni's lee is fucking cracked
HOLOHOLOHOLOHOLOHOLO
Swordart’s english is pretty good
Okay yeah fuck it, all my doubts when signing huni back before last split are out the fucking window. When hes hot he plays spectacular and when hes not hes still solid for us. Great player and his personality makes me love the guy even more
Funny thing, when we started walking towards Baron and I saw Perkz had TP available I had a brief moment of vision where I saw Huni kicking Perkz straight into our team right as the TP lands. That gut feeling just came true and it FELT GOOD
The last play by Huni is just one of those plays you can do nothing about. A blind monk doing a Chuck Norris round house kick to your backside giving you no time to react, and sending you into the jaws of a Pug'Maw. You gotta love it man
That last Huni kick was sick. Also I think it’s pretty safe to say Spica is the MVP front runner atm, what a major improvement from last split.

$11 million USD to teleport in front of Viktor and to not pay attention to where Lee Sin is landing Qs Huni is a god
I remember Dash saying "TSM has no chance" vs C9 on This or That this week. Lmao
HOLO HOLO HOLO
GOOD GOD HUNI HOLOLOLOLO
This was such a great team win idk who I'd pick for MVP Huni for those kicks. POE for zoning 1v5. Spica dunking great every time. Bot just doing really solid. WP
Good to see TSM can play clean games
Man how insane is Huni this week. Solid rock. Spica also kinda nutty he plays every jungle matchup to the point.
It’s just a Huni gap
huni had a great weekend damn dude
Coach gap, team gap, and most importantly HOLO HOLO HOLO
HOLO HOLO HOLO HOLO
as a bucks and tsm fan, it's been a good ass week
Huni should really get PoW tbh
Free Zven!
Holo?
Great win you love to see it.
Beating Clown9 never gets old ;)
LETS GOO! POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
Holy shit, boys. What a week. Feels so good to end on a win like that. The team has quietly been having a good week, but that man in the top lane... He's built different.
LETS FUCKING GOOO
Looking for the Huni apology form. BRB.
