That's amazing.

Hoping that this years worlds is closer and other regions can put up a fight against China and Korea. Should be fun regardless.

so putting aside all the hype, does TSM have what it takes to actually get far at Worlds?

They're probably screwed if they get to fight against a Korean team in the quarters, but so are everyone else to be fair. They might have a chance against Samsung though.

This is basically the best formation TSM has ever had and the meta favors their strengths. They have a legit shot for once, just gotta avoid choking.

yeah, TSM is looks like the best of any western team ive ever seen. Hopefully they can translate that to the worlds tournament.

Soooooo

Team Liquid sold to an investment group headed by Peter Guber, Ted Leonsis, and Magic Johnson (amongst others). These are pro sports execs/owners.

I've been a TL fan since original Starcraft, and spent huge chunks of my life on their message board. this feels kinda weird. I'm happy for them, but man its the end of an era. The two guys who are running TL will continue on as co-ceo's, victor (who started TL all those years ago) and steve.

Yeah what the heck is up with NBA players specifically seeming to get into the eSports biz. I like it, because them picking up brands (instead of teams) feels like a good strategy to me. They're buying into established franchises in many cases that already have existing fanbases in multiple games. Plus, if they pick up teams for other games in the future, many of these brands will attract people at least through name recognition.

I honestly think TSM has a good chance to get really far into worlds this year, mainly because of the advantages that Parth can develop for the team. For all the ingenuity and success that the Korean ex-player coaches have brought to the table, like Rox's NoFe or SKT's kkoma, they don't have the same academic background and training to do rigorous analysis that someone like Parth has, having done his masters in a STEM field. With the competitive game now having progressed to the point where good team strategy and execution can dominate individual mechanical displays of skill, Parth's deeper and stronger analysis of the game could prove to be a decisive advantage.

Let's be honest here, TSM might not make it out of group. SSG might not be flashy, but their team fight is really good. Their solo lane is on par with TSM if not better and if the game goes late, SSG will probably take it. As for RNG, they were really bad in the LPL final, but who knows what happened in the last two weeks. RNG's ceiling is really high, so as long as Mata and mlxg get back to their form, they can go far.

Tsm look really good for sure but I've been burned so many times by Western teams already.

Worlds is tmrw so I'm going to reserve my hype after I see them crush ssg

Guess I'm going on a blackout and watching the VODs for every day because the broadcast times are absolutely fucked for EU viewers. I'm sure this has been discussed before but is there no way to make the times at least semi-reasonable for every region? This is like literally the worst it could possibly be for EU.
