Amusing how in this TSM v Curse game, TSM was up 6-1 then ~10 minutes later, it's 6-12 in Curses favor.
That was a really poor showing from TSM.
Props to curse though, it's tough to come back from that
Curse played much much better than TSM there I think. Dyrus looked bored on Darius and built possibly badly, Voyboy looks great on Olaf, Reginald just looked really bad on Gragas while Nyjacky was pretty good on Kat. Also Voyboy in game 4 gets MVP for the whole tournament just for those TP Homeguard ganks, they're so much fun to watch.
On Diana nerfs her ultimate really needed a range nerf, it was waaaay too far.
Uhh..lolking's model viewer is having a few problems.

That is just creepy. Bewitching Nidalee is pretty bad too.
The way both team play is very laughable when compared to any top international team. It's seems TSM/Curse just has a bunch of soloQ allstars mashed into a team. No team work, no strats, just "soloQ run around and farm not complete objs." I guess that's why TSM is something like 0-12 against korean teams.
Imo, they need to shut off streaming and stop soloQing and start getting in more scrims.
The thing with TSM, with both Dyrus and TheOddOne is that they make so much money from streaming. When OddOne is pulling in 25k+ viewers every time he streams (I don't know why, he's hella overrated in my opinion, but thats neither here nor there) and Dyrus ranges between 7-20k.
I'm not sure what they are making nowadays, but a year ago, I'm sure Hotshot was speculated at being on a 6 figure "salary" almost from the mix of Streaming (he used to stream every day) and CLGaming.net. It's still profitable for them at the moment to stream soloqueue for x amount of hours a day, but it won't get them on top of the world. NA's soloqueue scene is bigger. EU's ranked 5 scene is better. Korean scrim scene is larger. Korea will stay on top until EU/NA start prioritizing scrims over ladder.
If I remember right (could be wrong.. my brain is in shut down), you get 3$ for 1k Add views as a starter and the amount increases when you're a "good" customer (long time, lots of viewers). Let's assume OddOne gets 4$ per 1k views and only 50% of his viewers have AdBlock activated during the stream. I assume an average solo queue game is around 30min and he plays 3 Adds every 30min.
=> 12.5k*4*3*2/1000 = 300$ per hour. Not bad.
Wasn't it TSM who complained about the NA scene because there weren't enough teams to scrim against?
Turns out the Diana nerf isn't as bad as I thought. She doesn't rape the jungle early anymore, but otherwise is alright.
