Also even in solo queue there are players higher ranked than him with better win rates on a similar number of games played, despite the fact that Faker plays primarily the mid champions he's best at so it's not like he isn't trying. And players have solo-killed him in lane/carried as hard as he has. Yes, he's a great player, but he's not head and shoulders above the top players in Korea/China.

The clear winner here is being in China, because at least then you're being paid 1 million dollars to play league of legends

They're supposed to be paid that amount. Let's see what actually happens.

TSM seems to have this weird aura around them where they can get completely outplayed in terms of strategy, rotations, or team fights, and at some critical moment they can just turn it on and win a fight from nothing. I don't know if its just their ability to look at a mistake from the enemy team and immediately know how to capitalize, but I've seen way too many TSM games where they looked dead in the water and won through some crazy play which they snowballed off to think it's just a fluke at this point.

Honestly, CLG the first time they played had them locked out by keeping constant pressure on the map, and CLG probably would have won if it weren't for CLG shenanigans and forcing a drag they didn't even need. WE was smashing them in that game one till a single positioning mistake at the second inhibitor turret. I feel TSM does not respond to any form of early objective pressure well and crack hard under good rotations; its just you have to play the end out almost perfectly and not get overconfident in the late game, because that seems to be the window they thrive in for comebacks. I don't think camping Bjergsen is the answer because more often than not Santorin will probably back him up. Camping Wildturtle might be a good start because of his moments of bad positioning, and then keep them moving around the map while your team takes turrets.

Two TP/Smite top laners. I'm pretty sad about this.

For example you can take the 1 minute cool down exhaust that gives you free gold, or you can lose lane. The options are dizzying.

I feel like Lustboy just kinda got grandfathered in if he entered the competitive scene in like season 4 that name would have to be changed

I doubt it, I mean Riot got annoyed at sneaky for telling people "Welcome to my butthole" when they subscribed to his channel and told him to stop doing that.
