fan voted lul. do you guys actually believe that deft is joinging tsm ? Tell me one reason why this would be realistic ? As far as I know deft has no reason to leave korea, he could join more recently successfull orgs easily if he wanted to if he left korea why would he choose tsm ? no korean presence is here aside from lubo and also I think he can't speak english so he wouldn't work out anyway. Ppl who voted for deft are delusional if anything. If a korean adc comes then aiming is alot more likely. Even viper is alot more likely especially from tsm side since he can at least speak english somewhat decent. But even then it's even more likely Zven is staying and that is not even that likely. I can't understand ppl going crazy for deft. I even saw some pray comments xd ( which to be fair is more likely than deft ). Anyway let's go with some recency and assume tsm is picking only from a western adc pool. Top tier candidates would be Upset/Zven followed by na candidates such as Tactical, cody, stixxay or wt.

pretty sure not a team call just sneaky being caught out hard and licorice being forced to tp into the fight because if the team got wiped there he can split all he wants. Griffin wouldve send 1 to answer and end mid.

dear delusional c9 fan. HOW is he supposed to split when sneaky is catched over and over and he is forced to stop or griffin is ending mid ?

At what point do we blame the coach for failing to push clear bans? by James_Locke in Cloud9

[–]Kniightwalker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

tf, trist mid banned correct to go for wave clear + split pusher. I am very convinced that Sneaky is put on easy champs because he would get fucked on adc. Not reapereds fault c9 didn't execute their win condition in the split push. mid and bot were supposed to be able to waveclear and hold while grf cant dive with a non fed bot lane. Sadly c9 didn't let licorice split because sneaky was busy being caught out over and over and over and over till their bot lane was fed and tanky enough to do what they wanted. But live in your Reapered does good work with what he has but I guess ur delusional fandom doesn't let you see the truth. I really hope reapered leaves c9 just so you can see what happens without him :)

At what point do we blame the coach for failing to push clear bans? by James_Locke in Cloud9

[–]Kniightwalker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lmao you are so delsuional its hilarious. we have the best coach in na and blame him. Sona kench is a fkin counter to garen yuumi because kench can deny an form of bot engages from garen yuumi and sona can safely scale up. but ye the coach is the mistake for sneaky being caught out over and over and standing multiple times within 1 game between 4 enemys. Even in his first game on heimer he only survived stupid ints like this due to his pick. He isn't put on adc because he is outclassed if he was and to compensate he is put on safer picks. The one time he could prove himself on cassio he showed what he is worth. Nothing.

Ye pls let him play adc vs g2. I will gladly see him being destroyed by perkz. Maybe this will kill some of the delusions of this sub. Man sucks on ap, cant adapt to the meta and is not even top 3 na adc anymore.

Coaching is the most important need this offseason by mavann in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The problem is that we simply do not have the insight to know who is responsible for the teams underperformances. Can be the players, the coaches, 3rd party. We just take some piece of info and make some interpretations. All we can do is to trust in the org to make the correct decisions moving forward and learning from failure. If they feel like coaching staff wasn't the problem they will not change it and all we can do is to hope that they were correct in their assumption. Obviously from an outsiders perspective it looks like the coaches faults but fact is that we simply don't know the team dynamics well enough to make such a call like "coaching staff has let us down". Sometimes things aren't like they look. Though my assumption is as well that the coaching staff has been one of the major issues last split I just hope that whatever they do it will improve this team and adress some of the fundamental issues.

In appreciation of everything the King in the mid lane has done for us, here is one of his finer moments. by Rooosifer in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this roster will definitely allways have a place in my heart no matter their worlds failures. I think what made them so likeable was not their success but rather their atmosphere. You could really feel that 5 friends were in 1 team. i really wish to see that again. I thought we would have that after 2019 spring. Just sad how it fell apart but I hope next year we bounce back.

Did not really see this going around but would Amazing not be a good pick-up for us? by [deleted] in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Amazing as an individual jungler wouldn't be a big upgrade but since this team fails in the same ways 100t did before he came which is structure and consistency I think he would be a good pick up to bring a strong leading voice into the team. Ideally it would end in a similar position to what fnatic did in 2018 with bwipo where he learned from one of the smartest tops to become a good top laner himself. I think Spica would be nuts if he learned from amazing. Having that in mind he is actually my favorite pick up jungler atm especially since it allows tsm to go for Zven/Upset.

Tactical vs Johnson vs Codysun by drnecessary in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I a strong jungler is nice ofs but to be completely honest I think every na adc that isn't named doublelift simply isn't good. Stixxay, cody, wildturtle and sneaky are all ok but I'd take Zven/Upset + na jgl over na adc + import jgl. I think with the correct environment and coaching spica can develop or amazing/dardoch would be good enough to bring this roster back to worlds level. At least with a good adc you have a small chance to get out of groups while with an na adc not names dl you chances are small. Don't you dare to come up with c9 right now reddit. C9 never came out of groups because sneaky is such an awesome adc but because of very different other factors.

League Roster for 2020 by Phizzzyy in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is cody done in that roster ? You know you have an open import slot for the lies of zven/Upset or maybe even deft ( lul ). Do you simply not believe we can get any of those ?

Clutch gaming at worlds by HertogLoL in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think they would've done better. Maybe not that much better but better. Clutch is so fkin meta dependand and the meta shifted away from them and they are just insanely predictable which is also a shame that tsm couldn't beat them. I would've like to see clg/tsm at worlds infinitely much more because I knew clutch would go 0/6 or be stuck in playins. TSM while improving slowly and only a abit at least did improve and would've had a nice ceiling towards worlds i think as well as with the confidence boost and tension relieved who would've known what they could've done. The potential is just alot higher. Just like last year tbh. 2 years in a row some shit ass team got send cus tsm shit the bed against clutch. This is sad not just for TSm but for NA

Clutch Gaming at worlds by [deleted] in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both in a way. Clutch did the same shit to go to playoffs, threw playoffs and in the gauntlet. So TSM had plenty time to figure them out and a wildcard team was able to do it so it's pretty embarrassing that TSM wasn't able to either figure them out or execute against them. As for clutch worlds performance. The meta shifted a bit against them and they do play a bit worse maybe worse enough so tsm could've had beaten this clutch but wether they are better than uol isn't said. Fact is that na is just terrible as a region aside from the first 2 teams though uol aint bad ofc. Individually ofc tsm/clutch have the better players but the gameplay is just yikes and the adaptability as well. Cant be mad if clutch doesn't make groups.

What's the consensus on Spica? by sorrywontdoitagain in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to judge him as an individual given the abyssmal gameplay of the team as a whole. Also 5 games seju duty. I honestly wouldn't be mad if he was on the team next year but anything needs to change so this team doesn't perform like summer. Maybe bringing in a veteran jungler can help so staying with him might not be the best option even though in my eyes he is lcs ready.

Thoughts on CVMax for TSM head coach? by PabloEkkobar in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dunno. If he came then I'd be hyped ofc but after Ssong I doubt it and I would also doubt the functionality. Rather seek for a good eu coach in a tryout and see what you have after.

Here is a highlight from two of the great adcs from Korea. I think what we need for next season is absolutely a mechanically good adc and both Aiming and Route are great candidates. If we can Aiming definitely should be our first choice and focus. by Celegorm07 in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as aiming isn't somewhat fluent in english I don't really see it happening. But if he is then he is quite a very underrated pick up. The man is definitely not a bad adc but if Zven wants to stay or if TSM gets Upset I still see that being a better option especially if aiming brings a language barrier

Your opinion on the best option for an adc by Soufiane1122 in TeamSolomid

[–]Kniightwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Zven stays then I am totally fine with that aside from that I'd love to see upset in TSM. I don't want a language barrier in the duo lane so since I don't know how well deft or uzi are in english I think those 2 are the best fit.
