SSW is a monster. They're unbannable and made China's #1 EDG look like DP. Granted, EDG was the only team to really disappoint me. After seeing the LPL finals, I was excited to have a chinese team at Worlds which doesn't rely on relentless aggression only.
TSM shown up better than I imagined, if it wasn't for that last game vs SK. They had it but threw so hard. Now, I can see them winning a game vs SSW but there's no way they win three. Their big weakness is as Monte pointed out, that they can't seem adapt in game. If they don't get picks they have a strategy for or if the other team picks something they didn't expect, they seem to be lost. Yes, they can play pretty every standard strategy you expect a top LCS team to, but they're against SSW. A team that buttrapes you in six different ways out of six games. TSM can base their hope on the fact, that Bjergsen and Dyrus have proved to be world class caliber in their roles and should hold their ground vs PawN and Looper, but that's about it.
