He was able to get to this point even after taking an entire split off because TSM did not make the finals for two entire splits, at one point losing in playoffs to Clutch Gaming and not even coming in fourth place.
I watched your segment on the Dive when one of your main points for Doublelift ranking below Bjergson was because of the losses he suffered while on CLG, going to relegations, etc., whereas in your opinion Bjergson has always been consistently on top.

He also has four MVP honors. Let me put that in a different perspective: Bjergsen won an MVP title every single year until 2018, when Doublelift finally won his first.
Doublelift's recent accolades are indeed impressive. He's won six LCS titles now. He's absolutely the best domestic Bot Laner in LCS history. That's for sure true. But his l...
