Getting played out of a big early advantage counts as throwing last I checked. If you get an advantage and proceed to lose it and the game that's a throw. The only exception is against a late game teamcomp which still kinda counts as a throw if you can't convert your advantage into an actual win.
However what even happened? They don't seem like the kind of team that would throw most games.
What kind of retarded definition is that? lol
"Throwing" means to "lose on purpose" and I highly doubt they wanted to do that.
Basically the passive farm game loses in the aggressive tower push game.

Just saying he put up his AMA. Not trying to counter you to anything. I just want to put the anger down to rest.
I'mtalking about all the idiots / fanboys who are like "Oh they just threw the game, they weren't really trying" or other bullpomegranate, because they won't admit their team got outplayed by the opposing team.
I wasn't trying to downplay or anything, if that's what people were getting the impression of
Even though TSM lost, here are some positive points
Also did you guys notice that Azubu frost was looking up at the minimap during the 1st game when it was paused. Yeah, they kinda found out their initial strategy and ruined TSM's momentum. They need to change how they do the championships next time.
They should not be allowed to. Similar reason for why they have to keep those headphones on so they don't hear the commentators/crowd.
Also in chaox's interview, he never really made excuses. He admits frost was a better team (and honestly they were definitely better than TSM-Regional status) and he gives credit where credit is due unlike some teams that say "oh we played badly" or "oh this happened so that's why we lost." They did the exact same thing at MLG summer arena when blaze 5-0'd them and they said "dam blaze is really good and they're a lot better than us, we need to step our game up"
TSM performed really well with minor mistakes. Azubu frost was just better. That doesn't mean TSM is bad either. When frost banned katarina, they knew TSM was going to use it and they didn't wanna face it. TSM has been pretty secretive but in a TSM invitational a couple weeks ago, reginald used katarina at least once in a game. That just shows you the level of research frost did. While TSM is really public with that sort of stuff, some teams aren't. The casters made a comment how TPA does a lot of custom games to scrim/practice but they leave the game and don't finish it so it doesn't show up in their match history.

Also...USE SPOILERS YOU IDIOTS!
I wonder why Riot didn't use the booth setup instead of the open air setup. Typically booths are better as they block sound, as well as prevent players from looking at anything besides the crowd and their own screen.
