[2022] Something I noticed watching tactical in the EG v TSM bo5

So I was watching the highlights on youtube and noticed that tactical would often be the first to die in a teamfight. So I started noting them down.

Depending on how favourably/unfavourbly you would want to look it I found that in 75%/66% of the teamfights in which Tactical died, he was the first to die of his team. On it's own this doesn't say a lot, because maybe Tactical just never dies in teamfights. But, lets take a look at the moments in game.

Here are the moments where Tactical died in a teamfight:

• Game 1, 25:55, Tactical dies first

• Game 1, 45:40, Tactical dies first

• Game 2, 19:20, Tactical dies first

• Game 2, 30:10, Tactical dies first

• Game 2, 35:20, Tactical dies first

• Game 3, 20:15, Tactical dies first (debatable situation)

• Game 3, 30:25, Tactical dies but not first

• Game 3, 32:50, Tactical dies but not first

• Game 4, 20:55, Tactical dies first

• Game 5, 31:50, Tactical dies but not first

• Game 5, 34:00, Tactical dies first (but more like a pick)

• Game 5, 42:00, Tactical dies first (A forced 3v5 by EG)

So depending on your interpetation of the data. In 9/12 or 6/9 teamfights in which tactical dies, he dies first. I think this reflects Tactical's playstyle of always playing as far forward as you can. Either you can kill him, or he rolls over on you in a teamfight. It's a different playstyle than the traditional ADC, who sit back try to clean up the fight after all major cooldowns are used. However, I believe that in this series his playstyle did not work out. Instead of playing on the boundary, he overstepped it.
