Doublelift Vlog - Joining TSM and what really happened

[@doublelift]

Official Announcement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWGXe3hnZ65gf9E

[@autumneagle]

Get it bro. Go win your split, go show the world you've got what it takes. You're popular for a reason.

[@Bai_Su_Zhen]

In other words, the TL team management are ungrateful backstabbing cunts. Pretty sure I could've guessed it before. I'm sure that out of the fear for your job Peter, you can't say everything, but you better believe that at least one guy understands. I wish you find a team you're happy playing on. How about trying EU? It's not that much money but it seems like team environments are great there...just an idea.

[@eckowezen]

On the contrary, I find it quite hypocritical or not very classy at best to say something like this. Then it basically means everyone else wanted Xmithie out but him and makes other people look bad for a decision that is supposed to be taken as a team. Everyone should communicate the same in these situations. It's easy to leave the boat and then call out publicly the mistakes that were made by teammates or the opinions of others you don't agree with

[@N7Null]

Yes, he was loyal by sacrificing the other 3 players on his team and the org that he won multiple championships with because he self-admittedly played like shit and left the team over one player. Yes, tell me more about "loyalty". Flair checks out.

[@epicmonkeydrunk]

@@N7Null yes but he was loyal to his friend and was honest about his failures. He didn't agree with a move his team/Organisation did. I guess u could say it left a bad taste in his mouth.

Yeah, the thing when you change nation is that you know what you left but you don't know what expects you, could be good or way worse

[@iv-0783]

It’s not like Doublelift had a choice. There were a lot of internal issues within the team and coaches. In the video doublelift said the only people who showed support was Broxah and Steve. That means impact, Jensen, and Core including the coaches were not willing to support Doublelift. It’s a two way street of forgiving and team effort. Obviously that didn’t happen and it led to the trade to TSM.

[@averytheloftier]

I really want to see Dardoch traded for Broxah, but that's not going to happen

[@croyboudreau437]

Always gotta take care of yourself first. In life you've always got a choice--can't control what Doublelift does ya know?

[@jleif7736]

Imagine believing Broxah left his superior region to come play in NA just for Doublelift. You know nothing Esports or even life if thats what you believe. Broxah came to NA because no team in EU would pay as much as TL did. At the end of the day thats what this is about. So in your little fairy tale logic, CoreJJ left his region where he won a worlds title in a dominant fashion, just to come to NA for Doublelift. KEKW its about money little kids, please think logically before typing something very stupid

[@MrVibhas]

@@necrohno It's not shitting on Dardoch. One is the player with the most LCS titles in history, and the other is Dardoch. If Dardoch cannot change his form / fit into the team, TSM ought to definitely look at other options, either from EU or someone like Closer, or veterans such as Sven / Xmithie. I don't know how TSM will be able to play around top, considering BBlade is resource heavy and cannot play weakside, in a team consisting of the 2 most well known players in LCS [DL and bjerg]. Even if crazy things happen, i don't see this current TSM lineup doing anything at worlds, too many issues. Dardoch and BBlade would get handled at worlds/by other teams playing around TSM's weaknesses with such a lineup, and its not like Bjerg/DL/Bio have had too many insane performances at worlds between them.

[@4109uuap]

Jake was the pillar of the relationship of the team, I think he gave them balance

Nah dude, the sole reason Broxah was mentioned this way, is cuz A) Broxah is a really cool guy who handles things with much less than average temper of League and/or Pro player and B) even so if he got to spend much more time with DL, a player who is slacking and underperforming for a whole season because of whatever reasons, you'd be like other 3 as well, EVEN BROXAH WOULD BE AT SOME POINT, I mean the guy thats supposed to be the best in your team or on his bad day equal to his other teamates is doing desperate job playing his role, that's something you can't just let go like its nothing

[@admirkrkic7022]

He also said nobody gives him feedback, I can sense it already : nobody does it because a lot of the time even in his streams or after a loss pro game, DL doesn't really admit or at least never takes full responsibility for a game with that being said, its really hard to give feedback to someone like that because you think its not gonna make much of an impact, so why bother give it in the first place OR they just dont do it because they dont wanna adapt to him because he doesnt adapt to them= most of players dont like being direct, being told you're jsut bad, that's bad this id bad, laning, trading, map awareness etc etc, they like to be told in a different manner and im pretty sure DL's feedback is a direct one, he doesn't adapt and try to give them a feedback that will encourage them so they decide to do the same so we wont give you direct feedback cuz you wont adapt to us and SINCERELY, DL does leave an impression of someone who thinks too high of himself(regardless of if he is right or wrong there) to do some stuff that require to put your pride down

Im glad that Steve was transparent with him, he always seemed like a stand up guy. I wasn't a fan of TSM until Regi was no long part of the roster but I liked almost everyone else on the roster.

Doublelift has more achievements and he was under performing one split. He has won so many times the lcs that doesn't make sense to leave him for one split. The issue with Sneaky is that, even though he is extremely good according to dl, he never show off as a great player... The season he's out, C9 becomes number 1, and with a worst adc according to dl aswell.

[@user-ic4gd9dp2e]

@@kevinmartincossiolozano8245 DL didn't call him the worst, he just said that Zven would not use his leads correctly. From what I remember, Rekkles said the same thing as well.

Cain and Dodo are pretty mediocre coaches. I was really surprised they didn't get replaced after Worlds. TL has had real bad macro problems for ever now and macro should be the coaches responsibility. When you see behind the scenes videos I never got the sense that they were in charge and they seemed really nonconfrontational, which is a really shite trait in a coach. Also if you bench someone for behavioral problems, and then unbench him because you lost, you've ruined the point of benching him. Now everyone knows that even if you have shit behavior problems, it doesn't matter as long as you don't have a good replacement.
