So it's Tuesday. That means it's LCS Discussion day. Let's start off with the EU LCS:
EU LCS - So, I don't watch it as much as the NA LCS but I do watch it whenever I can and I have to say Roccat are very impressive. I don't think I've seen them lose decisively to anyone. They've either won decisively or lost a close game. Gambit and Fnatic have been a little disappointing. Gambit's bot lane is sorta underwhelming atm. They've given quite a lot of First Bloods in most of Gambit's games. Fnatic started out great tho but this losing streak they're on is not like them. The other teams haven't really impressed me that much. Millenium are kinda weak but I'm a fan of them now because Creaton's individual play is impressive and Aranea is a cool and fun dude.
NA LCS - I've actually watched every NA LCS game so far. I'm so happy TSM is the #1 team once more. I didn't really like Bjergsen when he first came in and I kinda disliked Turtle as well when he came but both of them have been very impressive. And Bjergsen...after reading his post on Facebook about his life before League...the dude suffered so much but he didn't give up and he managed to find success just by becoming good at League. Much respect for Bjerger King! TSM as a whole seems refreshed. If they manage to clear their miscommunication issues in big team fights they would be so strong. Some people think C9 aren't as good as last season which is kinda true but I also think the teams in NA have improved. CLG are looking good with the new roster and I think they can get Top 2 or Top 3 if they keep playing the way they did in Week 5. EG are kinda underwhelming right now. They can definitely become a pretty good team if they fix their synergy/communication issues. Dig and Curse are wild cards for me. They win 1 game and then lose 1 game. They're just too inconsistent atm. Coast have a little bit of potential in my opinion but once teams start banning Jax against them they'll be forced to use something else and without Jax and Nidalee they've barely found any wins. No comment on XDG. They went from a Top NA team to a bottom LCS team. Major disappointment.
Thanks for reading! =D

I honestly believe it's because Regi's off the playing team. He just seemed so damn toxic and just wasn't a consistent player nor shot-caller. I can literally imagine how apprehensive his teammates can be getting into game with him, knowing he'll probably **** up somewhere down the line.
As a TSM fan since early Season 2, I can definitely tell you it's not because he's off the team. Bjergsen is the main reason. He's young like turtle, he's really good at the game and he just brings motivation to the team. TSM lacked that in Season 3. It feels like Dyrus, OddOne and Xpecial feel super motivated around him. Who wouldn't be? When you're playing with a super good and cheerful player why would you not be motivated to try your best?
Also, Regi wasn't as toxic as people think he was. The main problem with him was..well he just got too worn out...kinda like HotshotGG. Throughout Season 3 it felt like he was playing only because he wanted to make a final attempt at winning worlds with TSM. Obviously, when that didn't happen he retired and gave mid to Bjerg. Not saying he wasn't toxic though. He was but not as much as people think he was.
I don't watch too much LCS, but I've seen quite a few matches this split and I think TSM is by far the most consistent team. I'm no fanboy but they've done a very good job of minimizing mistakes and coordinating properly.
Aye! They're doing great this split!
Millenium has kinda grown onto me as well.
Out of Gambit, I think Edward and Alex Ich have lost some of their touch. Edward used to be a machine, now he seems so vulnerable, on the same line as others.
But damn, dat Aranea, so fun, much swag.
Dunno about Alex but EdWard has lost his touch indeed. Aranea such a cool guy! =D
Not to mention he was harsh and overbearing to his team mates. Who else remember him chewing out Dyrus on stream? :p
Exactly this. Though Dyrus was also being a tad bit childish, Regi certainly didn't make it any better.
