I am not a fan or a hater of TSM and this is how I see things.
TSM has a lot of expectations. During the off season they made some very mediocre moves that barely moved the needle when they needed to make big moves to keep themselves in relevance.
TSM fans think anything they do is gold and they seem to be brainwashed into thinking the team is amazing.
TSM haters seem to be brainwashed into thinking the team is t3 trash.
Realists see this team as top 10-8 in NA with potential to upset and MAYBE make a deep tournament run, but not good enough to ever qualify for international events.
