The Collapse Of TSM’s at Worlds 2020

Yiliang Peng aka, Doublelift is a popular Twitch streamer and a member of TSM (Team Solo Mid) AD carry. While doing a live broadcast on Twitch stream, he spoke about what went wrong for them in his team at Worlds this year. The team TSM went into the Worlds trying to reach the knockout stage for the very first time. However, TSM wasn’t really expecting that they would progress into the game but their fans believed that they at least would take a game or two.

Doublelift stated that their team needs more discipline and should just focus on their main goal which was lacking with their team. He said that some members of the team are ruining their practices, coin flipping and not taking their practices seriously by playing stupidly. The communication issues were evident through some bizarre pieces of play just like the Jungler Spica who provided a perfect example of TSM’s loss of confidence and lack of trust in each other.

Doublelift stated; “Losing trust in each other made us play even worse. After the first week, we probably had a 10% win rate in scrims. I was grateful to win even a single game per day. A lot of the games were either over after level one, or in the first five minutes. People on the team started ruining practice by coin flipping and playing stupidly. You need some discipline to stay focused on the goals. We lost all of our team play”.
