I'd guess they'd leave Zed up for Hai to take, ban Lissandra, and try to keep the mid pick to last. Although... If Hai takes Corki...

If TSM bans Zed and Rumble they're going to slam dunk C9 in 25-35 minutes. If they don't it will be a dumb sloppy throwfest that TSM will win in 45-50 minutes instead. It will be depressing and stupid either way.

I think that's what he's getting at, anyways - if TSM has to end The Streak (TM), it should be because they were legit better than a C9 playing out of their minds, not because they're all a bunch of shitters now. That's how I want it to happen anyways.

What's the sports analogy for a team that replaced a really solid player with a total shitter because that's how I feel about Winterfox being great in week 1 and then replacing Flaresz with Avalon. Just go buy Flame or something jesus christ, and if Helios throws a temper tantrum then replace him too. I'm afraid of Altec and Pobelter becoming the next Zionspartin/Shiphtur duo where they're shuffled around on bad teams for so long that they both waste what should have been their best years on awful teams. Zion escaped and went to CLG, maybe some day Pobelter can replace Hai or something.

C9 is not any worse than they were last season, they just didn't improve enough compared to the teams around them and lost a big advantage in P/B which they didn't make up for in any area.

I dunno about that. Their team level play feels about the same, but Hai and Ball's champion pools have both visibly shrunk since last season.

They are objectively worse than last season in terms of their solo lane champion pools and mid to late game shot-calling. Although I'm beginning to suspect that Balls' champion pool has always been shallow, and that this was hidden by the meta in S3 and Spring S4.

According to this: http://lol.gamepedia.com/Balls/Champion_Statistics I'd guess that his champ pool (along with Hai's) are just out of meta rather than itty bitty. Hai being unable to practice at home doesn't help him learn new champions either. Balls pool is coming back into favor (Trundle is back for example), but Hai's? Not so much. Would be interested to see if Hai wanted to yank out a Riven or something.

Poor Slooshi. The casters jinxed him by hyped up his "patient game-changing" Orianna ults, but instead got a succession of rushed single-man ults that either missed or got flashed. Maybe karma for throwing shoes. Hope TSM goes for the double over C9 over trying something experimental; C9 and CLG are probably joint favourites from their side of the play-off brackets (as things stand) so TSM being 2-0 over both would add great pressure on their two biggest rivals.

Maybe karma for throwing shoes. Poor Slooshi nothing. His Orianna has been unimpressive all season, and this game just compounded it- his inaction during the early game led to his team getting rolled as he often failed to rotate with Corki and never got anything from staying in lane. Hell, over the course of the season, Slooshi's quietly been one of the worst mids in the LCS when not on Leblanc. I agree with whoever it was above who said that if Zed and Rumble get banned it's probably going to be a fast and dirty stomp. C9 isn't a bad team but Balls and Hai's champion pool has looked empty all season and if TSM isn't dicking around they are probably too hard to beat with multiple soft spots on the roster. I really think current Balls is at the same point as The Odd One was at the end of his career: really big on a champion type that is out of favor and is completely incapable of adapting to what's in-meta, with the one silver lining may be that C9 weathered the storm well enough that he may be seeing his particular champion pool start coming back into favor.
