TSM have ended Week 3 going 0-2. TSM might be looking down the barrel of a tight playoffs race if things don't turn brighter for the team. Their game against Cloud9 in particular was a tight race, with comebacks and chaotic teamfights that saw the game teetering on a knife’s edge. Esports Heaven discussed the game against C9 with TSM support Smoothie, as well as elaborating on his coach Ziks, reasons for joining TSM, and the stigma of joining TSM as a support. When TSM saw Sylas in draft, was this an expected scenario? We definitely saw a lot of Sylas in scrims. He looks like a pretty good champion if there are good ults to take. There's always the unexpected factor when new champions come out because people don't know how to exactly play against it. I think today, we had a good idea of how to play against it, we just played badly around our win conditions. At the end of the day we lost, but it was still a winnable game for sure. Read More….

Cloud9 have went 2-0 in Week 4, with victories over Echo Fox and OpTic Gaming. The team had a great performance against Echo Fox with great drake control and an overbearing Urgot in the top lane piloted by Licorice. Esports Heaven spoke with Cloud9 top laner Licorice about his game against Echo Fox, his thoughts on the fountain dive, the TP changes, the bounty system and the difference between what a coach is responsible for and where the natural skills of a top laner must come from. What was going on with that fountain dive? Someone yelled penta after we killed Sion, I think it was Svenskeren (laughs), so we were just like, yeah, let’s get the penta, so we were just running at them (laughs). In comms we were all just ready to go for it, so we were huddled around and I was like, “alright, I’m gonna tank,” (laughs) so we started going in and Sneaky and Nisqy didn’t go for it. Read More….

SCounter-Logic Gaming handidly beat Clutch Gaming in their game during Week 4 but lost to the rising power of Golden Guardians during the second day. The team is still a large question mark as to whether they will be able to pull things together in time for the playoff race, but there seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel. Esports Heaven got the chance to speak with CLG's top laner Darshan about the game against Clutch Gaming, using TP effectively, criticism against him, Biofrost as a shotcaller and his time as president so far. The game against Clutch Gaming was a hard crush. Kassadin was enabled pretty heavily. You guys looked like you were running around the map doing whatever the hell you wanted. How did that game go for you personally in the top lane? It felt pretty easy. I think typically Clutch want to have the early game strong compositions and they had that again but they failed to utilize it well. We capitalized on their mistakes and then we scaled pretty easily and as soon as we got our power spikes we kind of just rolled over them. Read More….
