League Of Legends North American LCS Summer Split Analysis: Week 6

T-3. TSM Snapdragon (8-9)

TSM Snapdragon Fan favorite TSM Snapdragon improved to 8-9 this week, going 1-1 with a loss to top contender Cloud Nine and a third Summer Split win over Team Coast. TSM looked a bit more crisp in their game against Team Coast, and it looked like the communication between the members of the team was on point. Reginald made calls that were loads better than the ones he made earlier in the season, and audiences received just a small taste of what the old TSM was during the Spring Split. A team is more than just its individual members, and as TSM faces adversity this season, it is this fact they will need to keep in mind. Top lane player Dyrus had his worst week yet, ending with a KDA of 2/9/11. His 0/5/2 performance as Yorick was dominated by Cloud Nine, and in the second game, Team Coast ran Operation Gank Dyrus against his Rumble, turning his usually crisp top lane play into a walking punching bag. Mid lane player Reginald struggled in the game against Cloud Nine but returned to form against Team Coast with a 6/3/6 performance on Ryze. Jungler TheOddOne also had difficulties against Cloud Nine, and like Reginald, he came back with a vengeance on Elise, going 4/0/9 against Team Coast. AD carry WildTurtle was neither good nor bad this week; his Vayne play was nothing special, and he ended his week with a KDA of 3/3/9. Support Xpecial proves his Thresh mechanics every game he plays it, but he has yet to show his full potential on it.
