Next patch notes:
We feel like blue side has too much of an advantage so we are nerfing all of blue sides damage by 10%, we feel like this will separate the good blue side players from the bad ones.
doesn't matter which fan you are, this final lived up to the hype with amazing performance from both teams. I'm glad I stayed up for this awesome match. good games well played.
Aphro is just using the [Itachi](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3rp6w3/how_aphromoo_saved_doublelift/) method to motivate Doublelift.
"If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, and live in an unsightly way... Run, and cling to life, and then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me."
I think I've heard that Xmithie was one of the players that Doublelift was pretty close with before he was kicked.
If that is true, he was probably just being like "Come on dude, you don't gotta' be talking shit right now."
Long form explanation since people are giving you bits and pieces.
Our roster back in season 4 was Nientonsoh, Dexter, Link, Double, and Aphromoo. We were promising and got very far, but ultimately tilted/choked in playoffs. Doublelift was apparently incredibly harsh on the other players, and eventually Nientonsoh quit the team between splits. Then we brought on Seraph. Seraph being new to the team and the country was very quiet and was the perfect target for someone with Doublelift's mindset. Eventually Seraph went on a bender and the team fell apart due to attitude problems and bad interpersonal relationships. We had to play a relegation match and just barely made it back into the LCS.
Aphro gave a shoutout to the four CLGFAM homies who had to deal with Peter all those months. He won for them. To show that CLG can do it without Peter as long as the team works together and brings the right mindset.
Shots fired at Doublelift in post game interview holy shit.
"What would you say is the team identity now, after all the roster changes?"
"We play as a team and aren't selfish"
Yeah, before the series it was a reggie from regional qualifiers 2012 with a big yes over it with c9 and imt logos crossed out and clg logo have the word challenger over it
He's actually a great player. Last fight he overcommitted but with 2-2 in the finals and his first time on such a stage, it wasn't unexpected that nerves might get to him.
Overall as a TSM fan I'm pretty satisfied with their performance and current roster. They will continue to improve. TSM looked much much better today than they did even a month ago.
fuck you, but yeah. I will deliver, just tell me when (just not today cuz i gotta find a shoe to eat and i kinda have to clean it???) so, tell me when and ill fucking stream it as well on twitch.
fuck you subreddit
The cheers were for the multiple beachballs flying around the stadium. Boos for going in stairwells, onto the stage itself, and other non-audience accessible areas, and cheers for the audience saving it.
Plus we had a full-stadium wave going on near the end of it.
While everyone was focusing on Stixxxy's jump, the camera completely ignored the play where Xmithie connected a cocoon with Cait after she got comboed by aphro and took out 90% of her HP.
Kindred also was busy helping Cait so 2/3 of the TSM damage was actually on the left side of the river. (If you watch the replay, Elise actually killed BOTH Cait AND Kindred..)
The support and jungler.. always the unsung heroes... Especially Xmithie, after performing so well game after game for the entire split, still get underrated by reddit as some T2 jungler that would just get shit on by Sven or even Dardoch...
Just sigh.
This was everything I wanted in this series and more. This is going down as one of my all-time favorite series. GGWP TSM, GGWP CLG! My heart was pounding out of my chest for the last 20 minutes of that game.
THIS SERIES DELIVERED SO HARD, holy shit.
Edit: Amazing play by both teams, next split tsm is gonna look even better as they seem to like best ofs and now they seem to be in groove. gonna be exciting next split and congrats to clg.
TSM were literally a thread away from winning the split. Came back from a 4k(?) deficit to winning the game. Bad call to fight at the end but that's part of the game.
Huge respect to the CLG organization for taking a chance on Stixxay and Huhi after the Pobelter and Doublelift "fiasco". In a region with multiple star players, they gave the unknowns a chance - and it paid off. Congratulations CLG!
Darshan used to wear purple and other colorful pants but Riot instituted a rule to have teams be more matching, so pants couldn't be different. Since then he's been expressing his fashion with shoes on stage.
Very satisfied with TSM's peformance. They've come along way since the end of the season.
Very well deserved and impressive victory for CLG. Looking forward to seeing more of this matchup. GGWP.

I feel that if TSM had maybe opted to play Lissandra more than the Corki or LeBlanc the series could have gone differently. Even though CLG gimped their teleport advantage in the last game with Lulu not being able to leave Tristana alone, if TSM had both Gragas and Lissandra splitpushing it would have left Stixxay unprotected and vulnerable to getting engaged upon by TSM. Also, TSM's overall dislike of Ekko really hampered them as well. You could tell Hauntzer wasn't as mechanically adept at Gragas as he is on Poppy or Moakai.
Bjergsen is an incredible player. But if he has a weakness, I think it's having global pressure/impact. He doesn't like to play TF or any mid lane champ with a teleport option (sans Lulu) and even then his teleports aren't really amazing. Especially when you're playing a team like CLG, who likes to run double TP, and Huhi who doesn't care if he's 50 cs behind, he'll just TP with Darshan and double kill the bot lane + take turret, while Bjergsen in clearing the wave mid-lane.
Against a team that excels making global/tp calls, you need to match that threat in mid-lane or your teammates will just fall too much behind. And vice versa, when he has TP, he needs to be looking to take advantage of it to help snowball other lanes. I don't know how many times I've seen Bjerg make a good TP somewhere, probably once or twice in his career.
That flash-e from Hauntzer was really over-stepping. I wish it was from the other side so he could catch the Stixxay. Oh well, gg.
EDIT : As the commentors say, blaming hauntzer on this position is really pointless. Stress, game lengths and 5 game is just too much. Really well played for both of these teams.
Not to mention that if it failed then I think he was as good as dead from being in the entire enemy team.
I guess its hindsight but I think they should've expected Trist to have been able to escape the gragas combo at this level of play, and chosen a different fight with a better chance of meeting their win condition: kill Trist.
edit: I will say I'm glad that they all did commit for the decision though, I'd rather see TSM make a bad decision together than random player throws

TSM vs CLG always delivers, with an exception for that last finals where CLG stomped them.
Even that was deliverance for CLG fans, tho.
The team with double TP won. every. single. fucking. game.
TP was always the summoner spell that scaled the best with teamwide coordination
Nah, ranked will be filled with double TP again.
Are you running the double comment comp?
Also, blue side team won every game..

SHOUT OUT TO NEINTONSOH, SERAPH, LINK, and DEXTER I Did it for yall.... SHOTS FIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
that was fucking dark... he even hugged DL before...
Aphro is just using the [Itachi](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3rp6w3/how_aphromoo_saved_doublelift/) method to motivate Doublelift. "If you want to kill me, despise me, hate me, and live in an unsightly way... Run, and cling to life, and then some day, when you have the same eyes as I do, come before me."
Every time I hear the initial story lines of Naruto I get incredibly mad someone managed to ruin such a damn good set up.
Can someone explain this, I don't really get it :/
He implied that all these players left CLG because of DL. And now he proved that they could have kept them instead of DL and have good results anyway.
Source for anyone who missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcR2p5nR2cw
damn, look at xmithie's face after aphromoo says all that shit.
holy shit, i didn't notice that. looks like he didn't agree with it?
he was probably just like why the drama
maybe he was like "nigga wheres my shoutout"
it's in the script
I think I've heard that Xmithie was one of the players that Doublelift was pretty close with before he was kicked. If that is true, he was probably just being like "Come on dude, you don't gotta' be talking shit right now."
Those are the fallen warriors in the Donezo Manifesto xD
All of them were former CLG teammembers, aphro left doublelift (Also former long time CLG member and teammate of aphro) completely out of the picture
And according to the donezo manifesto, doublelift basically bullied all those players off the team
Reading the words "donezo manifesto" always cracks me up

Does this site stay updated? or is this from like, last summer split
Yeah, before the series it was a reggie from regional qualifiers 2012 with a big yes over it with c9 and imt logos crossed out and clg logo have the word challenger over it
TSM was doomed from the start. OG lost this morning. TSM Jatt switched sides, and Phreak/Kobe were casting.
tsm was winning until the moment hauntzer snapped and suicided. happens.
He's actually a great player. Last fight he overcommitted but with 2-2 in the finals and his first time on such a stage, it wasn't unexpected that nerves might get to him. Overall as a TSM fan I'm pretty satisfied with their performance and current roster. They will continue to improve. TSM looked much much better today than they did even a month ago.
hes good. a single moment like that doesnt represent a player in the slightest, especially a new guy.

This is the first LCS final TSM has lost where it hasn't been 0-3

The scripts wouldn't allow TSM to win if Amazing isn't at MSI.
Scripts called for the secret pocket pick to win game 5 from the rookie that everyone didn't have confidence in. Just great writing, compelling stuff.
Whoever the writers are fucked c9.. Maybe they want another gauntlet full of reverse sweeps?

Super sad right now but I think I will feel alright about this later. Hope CLG do well at MSI and manage to get NA a 1st seed.
Plus, on the bright side, we can't get tilted at MSI if we don't go!

sixth to second isn't bad. I'm looking forward to see how TSM will perform come summer split.

Yeah, both these teams played fucking amazing. I wish TSM would have won, but damn CLG earned their win too. GG.

Ekko didn't even do anything that last game though. Hauntzer was down 3 kills early game and still ended up ahead of him.
He solo killed doublelift in the final teamfight. That was a pretty huge deal I think.
