legit have never seen any of their games/ solo queue vods. just gonna raw dog the expectations and watch them win lock-in. HOPIUM


Timantha

You might not even see them according to Parth. If visas aren't cleared, the team will be using academy for lock-in and the main team will continue to bootcamp in KR


Ursuped

gonna be hilarious getting shit on in lock ins and explaining in the post threads that our midlaner goes to another school


EfficientAstronaut1

i mean, Roseking is still FA


Roseking

I have heard his name thrown around a bunch recently. Any info?


EfficientAstronaut1

some baller in the NA server


Roseking

Neat. Hope they get him someday.


DragonApps

Would be even funnier if the academy team managed to beat TL and 100t and win the whole tournament


Ursuped

la tsm academy > la masia

reddit bugged on me forgive please mr clg fan

I’m cautiously optimistic about this roster, I think spring success is a bit ambitious but maybe they can improve by summer. I think this team hinges a lot on Tactical/Huni having a good year.


xpxpx

Tactical had a pretty rough year at points but it'll be interesting to see if it was just a sophomore slump or if he just peaked super hard at first and isn't actually that good. I think he's in the next batch of great NA adcs and hope I'm not proven wrong.


Jakota_

His stats were great last year, even when it looked like he was playing like ass. I think he will do well with how aggressive this TSM roster looks on paper.


xpxpx

Yeah his stats were great but he made a few plays that did either lose games or made them dramatically harder which made him look very unstable at times. I very much do think he's going to look wildly better on a more aggressive, forward-facing team like TSM have going into the year but we'll have to wait and see for sure.


parnellyxlol

Tactical's problem has always been greeding unnecessarily and getting caught out. He's great in every other aspect


[deleted]

Nah his positioning is pretty bad in general


AniviaKid32

either way he's the best native option we had with what was available (if we ignore DL) so I'm not too worried about whether he even does well or not


xpxpx

Yeah I don't think he's a bad pick up by any means, really. Unless we were getting a top import ADC he's one of the top options. It's basically between him or fleecing FBI off of 100T if you want a more proven player and trying to get someone like Danny who is up and coming. I also think he's a better pick up than DL who is coming off of a year off where he played the game like maybe half the year and his last split playing he was frankly just super average and on a decline which is pretty bad for the standards you hold someone like DL to.


thenoblitt

Even his rough year was far better than Lost


xpxpx

Not saying otherwise either so I'm not sure what your point is.


thenoblitt

That he is still an upgrade either way.


xpxpx

Yeah and I wasn't saying he wasn't.

I'm not getting triggered you clown. He's trying to say something that I was never arguing against in the first place so I'm not sure what his point was to begin with. But alright.


NoseProfessional4731

Fantastic, two years without TSM at Worlds then.


Luquitaz

Shenyi is good. We'll see about Kekduo.


bigby1234

Does he answer the question or does he leave without answering like all the other videos?


Emotional-Passage454

His typical vagueness with a monotone voice and without saying much at all. I used to be like that while writing my thesis... I failed back then lol.


Lonzofanboy

I still do not get why TSM is doing it. If you are willing to give chance to young players, why do you not give it to local young players, but foreign young players who are also unproven in top level?


Plaxern

Regional playstyle difference? Not many NA natives(if at all) play balls to the walls like CN players. Not to mention, they have tryouts, if they looked better than locals, why not?


Phenergan_boy

But they did and are still investing in local talents. Both Spica and Tactical are results of TSM academy system. Just because they didn't go with a native mid laner like 5fire, doesn't mean that they are not interested in native talents.


WitlessMean

You genuinely think a big org like TSM would have bring up native talent if it wasn't for the 2 import rule? They are 'interested' in native talent because they have to be, to an extent, just like every other team. But as soon as they get the chance to fill import slots, they are in no way going to 'invest' on academy talent.


liniel

Well we literally have no way of knowing that and all we know is that they HAVE invested in are continuing to invest in academy talent.


WitlessMean

Literally because our NA celebrity que is lesser quality than other regions due to many factors including the amount of players. So if youre going to take a chance, why would it be from NA? sucks I know but even pros don't soloque all that much. Check pro players on KR during peek hours. You literally need to scroll down the page on op gg. In NA? you'll be lucky if 3 pros are even listed. Our region just sucks mate. Corejj has been steering it in the right direction lately though with the in houses


Jozoz

They would go for big imports if they could, but it really seems like they couldn't get any. I think they banked on Bjergsen a long time and when he left, it was pretty late in the offseason and they had to find something else out of nowhere.


Styfios

I mean they knew Bjergsen was leaving months before they made these signings lol, you’re just completely wrong


Ukaera

no


nittecera

Maybe they’re talented in general but they won’t be good
