This is pretty true, other than libertine, sexpansion, and maybe rabidsquid trying to effortpost, everything here is just facilitating Kevin's bizarro comedy and it's great.

I assume that TSM is saving strats for later stages that have Dlift on not-Jhin, and they're sandbagging a little bit in these games.

Hopefully.

Honest question, why do you guys dislike CLG so much? My guess is that you guys don't like them because of Hotshot. However, I don't know all that much about Hotshots transgressions. So, do any of you mind fleshing it out for me?

I love CLG because of my boy Aphromoo, but they have a hilarious habit of firing the wrong people to fix problems (pobelter) and being generally incompetent. They're also incredibly meta dependent due to Darshan's champion pool.

People also used to hate on Xmithie because a) dumb name and b) the guy used to miss point blank Sejuani ults like he was being paid by the other team. He seems to have gotten significantly better though?

Does anyone else play brand support at a high enough level that a team can practice against it, or is it going to be a ban for every ANX game as long as they're in the tourney?

I'd really like to see a longform piece in a few weeks that delves into TSM and Worlds this year, going over the expectations going in and what what "wrong". If it had both in-depth interviews with team analysts so that we got a real sense of what was happening in scrims on top of player statements, that'd be cool.

Basically a written 30 for 30 about this year's rise and fall of TSM.

Is a best of one group stage a good format to start worlds with?

This is an honest question, I don't know the answer.

I lean towards yes, it's very exciting, it gets group stage out of the way without a billion games, but it may not be optimal in determining which teams are actually the best.

Although if you look at who got out of groups, it does look like a majority of the teams people thought were "good" got out.

Probably not, but increasing the number of games two two or three per team matchup would force you to really spread out the number of days games are played, as well as send those venue costs sky high.

Considering League's live viewers are all around the world, I understand why they try to cram most of the games within what's basically the global weekend, and changing up the format would require either a six to eight week group stage or just games every day whose times would only work for one or two regions.

Some cheese slips through, usually it doesn't. Logistically, it would be kind of a nightmare. With NBA team owners entering the scene though, there'll be some experience with it.
