Well, yes and no. It was obvious they were massively on tilt after the 0-2 start.
And the way the game played out was a little misleading. They made some really awful individual errors in the early game... and they still almost won from 10k behind at 25 minutes. If LGD had won either of those two teamfights they lost so narrowly (the one at dragon, and the one in the top-side jungle that ended the game) I'm pretty sure they would have won because they outscaled TSM to such a huge extent. TSM had no AD carry, and no way to do damage to carries in the late game. Without the dragon ghost -- and they shouldn't have been anywhere near those dragons vs a Kalista/Nunu -- TSM had no way to siege, and no win condition.

This is true, but at the same time, they really only won from 10k behind because TSM really screwed up at Baron, which isn't surprising since TSM hasn't been playing good (and wasn't playing that well entering Worlds). Them winning was a lot more reliant on TSM screwing up than LGD doing good.

I never really gave tilting much credit before but CLG clearly couldn't get it together after 2 heavy defeats by KOO and not one of their players can really say they played well yesterday.
Is the SKT of this worlds just going to cruise to the title? EDG didn't really seem to give them a close game in the groups and they seem the most likely candidate to trouble them.

EDG got clowned by BKT early and the LPL teams have faltered, we have to consider that maybe the LPL was somewhat weak, C9 was a good team last year with a very similiar roster and is 3-0, and Fnatic could still be quite good too. KT has also looked impressive and could put up a fight.

Well, NA certainly crapped the bed in the 2nd round of Groups: TSM was expected, but CLG tilted SO HARD, and C9 simply did not adapt their P/B properly in the first 3 games and made poor calls Game 4. At least Fnatic and Origen advanced.
