League Of Legends North American LCS Summer Split Analysis: Week 8

T-3. TSM Snapdragon (11-12)

TSM Snapdragon TSM Snapdragon struggled once again this week. They went 1-2, beating Team Curse but losing to Team Dignitas and Counter Logic Gaming. Awful calls and mistakes in play have hindered fan favorite TSM, and some players continue to underperform. AD carry WildTurtle gets caught way too much, Reginald continues to make the wrong decision, and it seems Dyrus is the only player that consistently plays decent. The team is close to guaranteed a playoff spot as long as they win three games. However, to get to Worlds like they want, TSM needs to play much better than they are now. Top lane player Dyrus never carries the team but always puts up a consistent performance. He played two of these consistent games on Jayce against Team Dignitas and CLG (8/6/17). I know that I am not the only one who thinks he should go back to playing Singed. Mid lane player Reginald continues his slump, unable to crack above a .5 KDA for the week (14/19/28). TSM needs Reginald to get back to form or they may not make it far in the playoffs. I think he should go back to playing Kha'Zix like he did during week 1. Jungler TheOddOne was there. However, all three of his individual efforts were underwhelming (2/7/20 Jarvan IV, 2/5/14 Nasus, and 0/4/4 Zac). AD carry WildTurtle is one of the best AD carries in the North American LCS, and he would be even better if he did not get caught in crucial moments. His three games on Graves yielded a KDA of 27/16/18. His stats and play making ability are not in question at all, but he must not get caught in late game team fights for the team to be successful. Part of that is on support Xpecial, who played three decent games.
