This is what choking looks like folks. LGD Gaming was the Group D favorite and one of the teams thought to be a lock for the League of Legends World Championships finals, but they have completely lost themselves. Never was this more apparent than on Sunday when Team SoloMid walked in, stole their lunch money and stomped them into the ground.
League of Legends World Championships: LGD Gaming lose AGAIN, get steamrolled by Team SoloMid
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
LGD’s picking has been questionable in each of their three losses, but this took on a new level against TSM. They allowed Mordekaiser through the ban stage, daring TSM to select him. It was a huge miscalculation by LGD who assumed their bottom lane could counter the Mordekaiser pick.
This is how things began, and it went worse from there.
TSM got off to a fast start thanks to an early Dyrus teleport! #Worldsbigplays #Worlds https://t.co/0rUiy5T9sw

— Kobe (@RiotKobe) October 4, 2015 Holy cow. TSM take down LGD! What a surprising start to day 4 of #worlds. The battle for first is next between Origen and KT Rolster!
— David Turley (@RiotPhreak) October 4, 2015 This #Worlds group stage continues to defy expectations. THE #1 SEED FROM THE LPL IS 0-3. What in the actual is going on? Amazing.
— Josh Leesman (@RiotJatt) October 4, 2015 Bjersen was SO PUMPED after the match.
Was shaking during the interview, I don't remember the last time I had so much adrenaline. GGWP LGD!
