What is there left to discover about donuts...?
Rookie of the split and best jungler Santorin somehow losing in CS when he hasn't actually played the rest of the game other than farming. Simply amazing.

TSM looking so poo poo. Where is Santorin? He has been a phantom in every game this whole tournament. It's so weird after their performance at IEM and NA LCS. You'd think they wouldn't have nerves, so what is it? Is it just that they can't do Bo1's at all?

Yes that's it, they can't do Bo1.

NA doesn't play Urgot ADC for whatever reason and it's causing them huge problems in pick ban

Bjerg on Cho is a complete waste and he's been dumpstered every time they pick it. Then they keep giving Santorin Gragas and he does nothing with it.

TSM really seems to have some weird mental block where they just can't win single games and only do well in series. Unfortunate that the format of MSI is going to crush them. Their own fault at the end of the day though.

he did good 1 time vs a cripple who retired directly after being flash consumed

what i dont get is Santorin's regression on Gragas. He did really well vs TIP on that champ.

GE choked against the last place Chinese team which allowed TSM the easiest finals ever.

Dyrus on anything but Lulu or Maokai is a travesty, Santorin hasn't put pressure on anyone this tournament, and Bjerg keeps getting stuck on lovely wave clear champs.

Ready for C9 with a real mid laner to win NA next season.

In the case of TSM it's not really mythical. I think they've had one best of five in the past few years where they haven't dropped the first game in a hilarious, stompish fashion. It's really inexplicable.

Why on earth would you deathbush versus Rek'Sai + Scrying orb? The shotcalling is just awful. It's like they just forget how to play league of legends unless it's game 2+ in a series.

Because it may have possibly worked once in another tourney and TSM hates bo1 formats enough to not ever change.

They just gave mountain that 4 person knockup. It's like they actually sat down and said "what's the worst engage we can get caught in?" Then they did that.

He really did awful this tournament. You need a local (na) talent to replace him though. Who????

/edit

I don't think he should retire but they need to rethink the suicide Dyrus strategy. And Dyrus needs to not push up and die.
