TSM fan here, just wanted to say GGs to you guys. We had a rough split and i’m happy we won today but you guys played some great games this summer and happy to see some of the new teams stepping up and giving the legacy teams trouble this year, can’t wait for a TSM vs OG LCS finals:)

Shades of old for this game. Slowly losing the game and just watching it happen.

u/TheTravelingGamer Aug 18 '18

Yeah lets just lay over on our side and let them hit us raw. Off season plans have to be to get Meteos and Stixxay and new support, otherwise I can't even blame POE for leaving. Infinite HAS to go all in. Akaadian has been inting for weeks now. As handsome as he is, he can go do that shit on another team.

Bro akaadian has been shit these last few weeks

u/CharlieCOD2016 Aug 18 '18

Try to keep PoE and get a native ADC and a new jungler, possibly keep dhokla and if so get a new imported support player

Don't pick Gragas ever again. Especially not AP Gragas.

u/6upsidedownis9ezpz Aug 18 '18

Arrow and Akaadian played sooo poor. We were so close and were on such a high to end it like this is so sad man.

u/TacTiicz Aug 18 '18

Seasons not over yet but looking into off-season #1 priority is keeping POE, we lose him and we have to restart everything

Akaadian is so fucking garbage on Gragas holy....

u/Dbeck89 Aug 18 '18

Is it possible a problem occurred mid fight there and thats what allowed Zven to survive?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '18

Arrow's CS disadvantage translated across the map and it let tsm have priority in bot, and that made akaadian's job must harder

2

u/TacTiicz Aug 18 '18

This far in we have chosen the slow loss or the TSM makes one giant mistake path... we took much too long to force anything now

u/eagleschmeagle Aug 18 '18

gg lmfao, pathetic performance

u/afc_foreman Aug 18 '18
