  1. Here after the series to confirm that Cloud 9 is definitely going to have an off-season filled with torment. Maybe being more humble in victory would have helped out with community sympathy.

  2. c9 would look better. c9 has already shown that they can dominate. with the 1 or 2 months break to worlds, c9 has time to clean up their game and get back in form.

  3. I personally want TSM to lose because I don't like TSM. But it will be more funny to see them getting destroyed at Worlds 🙂

  4. I don’t like Jacob wolf why is he even talking and hating on tsm when they had weak side bot during the series and focus more on brokenblade

  5. Here's my take. Let's just do a comparison between c9 and tsm rn. C9 has a better bot lane, by FAR. They absolutely exposed EG and the tsm bot lane is performing worse than they did. As long as C9 doesn't int the draft like they did against FLY, this will be a 3-0 or 3-1. In terms of the other lanes, Licorice is a very consistent player who can play any matchup and still have a chance of winning it. Blabber is way better than spica, he is just super aggressive. We even see c9 win games where blabber completely runs it because the rest of the team is just so good. Nisqy is a very supportive member in terms of his champ pool and can still have tons of success when player carry champs like akali or azir. We would've seen him solo kill PoE several times if it wasn't for the shen. This squad has been playing really well, they just kept focusing too hard on a draft/playstyle that wasn't working. Once they banned shen and went away from ez/yuumi they were a much different team.

  6. I find it funny nobody gives TSM credit where they deserve it. They say DL botlane is struggling yet don't even acknowledge the possibility that GGS had the better botlane (possibly the best botlane in the LCS). CoreJJ and Tactical chain feeding 2v2 kills to FBI but nobody says they are slumping or having an off series. TSM play botside centric all season but when met with a better botlane they were able to shift their drafts and priorities to the toplane and was successful. Broken Blade had a great series despite playing weak side all split.

  7. And their BotLane didnt under perform!!!!! GGS just have a fantastic early game, and the best BotLane in LCS. They didnt get smashed. They held close even without having gank prio from Spica. They 2v4d at times and had to lose. But it got Bjergerking and BB ahead to fight late in game 5.

  8. I literally hate how toxic they are towards TSM. Saying how inconsistent they are yet they finished with the same record as FLY and yes some wins were cringe but so where TLs. This group has been so bias against TSM. Yes C9 wouldve been great to see had they stayed in form. But the last 6 weeks C9 hasn't been that. So i don't get how anyone can still think C9 can flip that switch.

  9. They talk about TSM bot lane underperforming when they did fine vs fbi huhi with only like 4 days of practice and bring camped, meanwhile c9 bot lane have an addiction with ez yuumi and got exposed by fly. C9 bot lane and zven In general just ride off their teams success and do very little themselves early. Like that's fine but don't act like tsm bot lane are going to be that much worse. Also it bothers me when they completely disregard nisqy and his performance. You say dl will be exposed by jackylove but then don't mention that nisqy will be hard destroyed by likely 80% of the other mids. The dude gets exposed by mid tier na mids let alone iinternationally I think if c9 goes to worlds, it will be a major mid gap and unless the meta suits roaming no skill mids, c9 r done. C9 can prove me wrong and they are welcome, but has none of these people been watching zven and nisqy at all?

  10. C9 is miles ahead of the entire LCS. They look like a 3rd seed EU team. HOWEVER, TSM is a huge mismatch for C9. With TSM's mid/top prio playstyle, they can kneecap C9 in a Bo5. All TSM's botlane have to do is hold sven like damonte did against bjerg in the first round. Its going to be super interesting this Saturday. TSM could spoil C9's split and be the shocker story for this year, or C9 could brute force their way to Worlds.

  11. How is this even a question? Tsm only made it out of worlds once in 2014 while C9 has been to every worlds since 2013 and only miss quarterfinal twice (2015 and 2019) they made semi final in 2018 and they are the only team that consistently make it out. Any team with DL won’t it out of groups at worlds

  12. C9 WOULD. I believe C9 could pull off a better performance on Worlds, but all they need now is to wake up and bring back the dominance that they already had in their hands and not give TSM a single chance.

  13. Saying that GG should've won instead of TsM because they made mistakes is so stupidly said. Is like saying CLG should've been in play off but they made mistakes. See how stupid it sounds.
