I might’ve seen it? Was it during their 24 hour stream? Also I find funny how much Lily loves George so much as well though. Her constant complaints of how much she misses him mixed with Annie’s complaints of missing Albert is so funny and cute XD

I like the Lily George dynamic. Hyper girl and dozey boy.

This was really hard to watch…

Imp made someone cry again

Me and my friends cried watching this at our card shop

If there’s anyone who didn’t cry, I’d make them.
I wouldn’t even know about LoL’s pro scene without Dyrus. To me it’d have just been that thing Lily and Shurelya sometimes played. Without TsirDiesalot ignoring his team while playing Singed, or trash talking on stage, or high five-ing the camera guys at the end of every game, or saying farewell to Chaos, I probably wouldn’t care about League.
I miss the days where the slow silent Dyrus stream would suddenly break into yells of anger or hype. I miss the days when TSM knew what to actually do with Dyrus. It was a bad year, and now that it’s come to an end… It annoys me so much how the team just didn’t do anything. They just wait and slowly get worse over time, not fixing their issues, but removing their strengths. It’s so disheartening as a fan, and I can really understand why Dyrus would feel like he let people down. The only thing is, to me it’s not Dyrus, it’s the organization.
Last year he had Ryze and Mundo and Renekton and all the power picks. He could’ve been so good if he had a nurturing environment…

But even though the baylife is dead, Dyrus asked the fans to keep supporting, so I’ll have to stick with 'em.

If you guys haven’t seen the Fnatic vs Cloud9 match in world’s group Stage, Day 8 (yesterday) yet , you’re definitely missing out.
Actually, most matches on that day were pretty cool, but that one is particularly awesome.

Was that the stomp game?
I think I’d have liked the game more if I knew the teams better. It was one of those games where the silly casting made it for me.

btw guys, Isn’t Riot themselves wanting TSM to fail going to the finals?
I really believe rito has something to do with this, cuz really… think about it.
And dyrus… If I’d describe my play style… It’d be dyrus style… not seeing him again playing league is making me sad ._.

Assuming you’re not joking, why wouldn’t Riot want TSM in the finals? It’d be insanely hype if they made it and viewer numbers would surely shoot up. Heck, even I’d probably watch if they somehow made it to finals. Also I’m not really sure what Riot could do to stop TSM besides placing them in a difficult group, which is really just luck of the draw. Somebody’s gotta be in the same group as the monsters, right?

Care to explain your reasoning for this?
If I were to explain my play style it would be carry till I tilt from ganks cause I’m bad at vision control top lane XD other than that people love me as their support <3

I play it often with friends and I’m on the Australian server with two accounts, one is a level thirty but not ranked… it’s a lot harder than I expected I have to say, plus the seasons coming to an end so no point. I’m good all round, my best it top with Darius, mid with Lux or Vel’Koz and adc with trist, but with my friends, I mainly mid Vel’Koz, and my favourite was Tristana, but I’m starting to swing towards Lux. I suck at sup though, I always end up getting the kills ahaha.

I think having either TSM or Fnatic in the finals would get an insane amount of viewers. A lot of the Riot staff founds out about the game via TSM too, so there’s a lot of fans on the team.

TSM were never going to make finals though. I’m surprised they even got to worlds. The only reason they managed to get there was because everyone else in NA threw during playoffs. 2015 was probably the worst year for the team.

I don’t even think the group was that bad. LGD threw, Origin is meh, and KT is just Piccaboo and Ssumday. I think 2014 finals could’ve taken the group easily, but instead we have the TSM that doesn’t play.

My play style is sit back and farm 'til the enemy dies. I just spam champions like Fiora, Heim, Vlad, Yorick, and then sleepily farm up. It means my reactions aren’t very fast though until team fights start happening…

I always liked Lux (Lilypichu fan after all) but the recent changes to her E made her soooo much better. It felt so clunky before.

Imma explain the reason.
TSM surely have a lot of fans… but what if TSM lost?
I saw people on the internet talking **** about how league is bad and stuff when TSM lost and quit the worlds last year.
that made a lot of people quit league…

ps: what I said about my play style… I mean that I always give the anime team first blood :'D
I used to main nasus, now I play any champion I click on XD
but I play Corki/veigar a lot lately
veigar is the most broken champ ever

How does this benefit Riot then? Why would they want people to stop playing there game and to be honest, if people quit just because they’re team didn’t win, I think that is a good thing.
The League of Legends community is already pretty bad so if people quit over something like that that’s actually pretty good for the rest of the community in my opinion.

Also goes to show who some of the real TSM fans are. If they were true TSM fans they wouldn’t quit they would continue to support them no matter what. I’m personally not a TSM fan actually XD I’m an OMG fan

Yep. Neither TSM nor C9 should’ve made it to worlds. NA had several promising rookie teams. Those wouldn’t have made it out of groups, either, but they would bring valuable experience back home. NA as a region would profit from that in the next season. But the old dudes? They’re not learning anything new. Shoulda given the young’uns some worlds air to breathe. At least C9 took Incarnati0n along. That guy managed to get some worlds experience. He has a future.

I watched a lot of EU LCS, LCK and LPL this year. I’ve only seen a few NA LCS games, but the ones I did see were kinda bad in comparison. It’s like they were playing in in gold-tier and occasionally, people like Bjergsen would make a big play.

If anything, NA performed better than they were expected to at worlds. Some people, analysts included, expected C9 to go 0-6, for example. And none of the NA teams were even in the actual “monster” group with SKT and EDG.

The quality in the west really swapped around. Last year NA teams had their supports and junglers roaming together, making sure everyone was there at the right time. Vision control was the big focus of teams. Teams would get an advantage and push it hard. EU was… Just messy fighting.
Now NA is like “duuuh, what’s a ward? Wave Control? Hah!” Teams have little cohesion, and they are all really passive both ahead and behind. Actually, passive is too positive a word. NA don’t play passively, they just don’t play. Meanwhile EU is raising rookie teams to Worlds quality teams.

Bjergsen barely even makes big plays this year. He gets an advantage, then he just waits until his advantage is gone…

TSM too imo. I think CLG is worse than TSM, but they had a better group.

well, TSM is the only team deserves to have “fans” XD
I hate how teams change for a year to another, just an opinion.

My overall impression was that last year, NA LCS was all about going all-in all the time and trying to make risky, flashy plays, while EU players were more careful and focused on strategy. And the viewers were like “lol boring, NA best!”. Though in the long run, NA players did profit from that hectic behavior.

Anyway, I’m glad we’re done with france now. That was like, the worst stage ever. Technical issues rivaling those of the LPL broadcast and an incredibly annoying audience…
