NA LCS going to be pretty weird to watch. So much change. Looks like TSM and CLG are the only ones that have likely confirmed their entire starting lineups. C9 still has to lock down Sneaky and Jensen. Liquid has to confirm Olleh and Impact are joining, but it seems fairly certain.

Midlane is going to have more EU players than NA ones: Febiven, PoE, Bjergsen (though technically he's a resident) and Jensen. I'm not sure Froggen has a place. Pobelter and Hai the only NA mids. Meanwhile Korea has Ryu, Fenix, Fly (on FlyQuest...), and Huhi (who will NOT be on the same team as Huni, unfortunately).

Mid Lane had more EU players then NA players last split too if you aren't counting Bjerg as NA. Or at least the same amount. But more in Spring for sure. There are only 2 NA mids that are playable.

Sven & Licorice for Impact & Contractz just seems like a downgrade at both slots? I dunno man.

I'm gonna be watching Golden Guardians pretty closely. I like that team. Deftly is an unknown which is exciting. Hai is just the most likable guy in NA LCS.
OpTic is cool too. Akaadian, PowerOfEvil, and Lemon are all great to watch.
100 Thieves could be a good memeteam depending on how stuff goes.

It's gonna be heartbreaking to watch all the old Cloud9 squad fight each other, but that's just the way it goes (RIP Ballz)

I'll give C9 a shot. Been a fan of theirs through and through, and don't want to jump ship. Sneaky is still great, and I fucking LOVE their support staff (Reapered, Westrice, and Loulex specifically). But I can't help but wonder about this roster move. We just blew an import slot on Sven?

I think Sven will work out for C9. He was good in europe, and TSM has a pretty consistent record of making junglers look bad. I don't know anything about Licorice, but I'd kind of be surprised if he ends up as the starter. It looks like C9 bought out his contract for cheap due to a deal they had previously. They acquired Wiggily the same way and he's backing up Sven.

TL Olleh confirmed. On paper they may be the strongest team. Of course, on paper is the only place TL has ever looked good, but this team is more CLG/IMT than Liquid.

It makes a ton of sense that Olleh would end up on the team with Pobelter as well as Pob is arguably the only NA mid that can take you to worlds and everyone else has to spend a foreign spot on a mid, leaving only one other open (TSM also would have made sense given that Bjerg is technically NA for that purpose, but mithy part of the Zven package).

100T vs OPT was actually a really good game of League.

I'm so happy to see the old C9 crew playing competitively.

I'm glad clg looks as bad as I thought and 100 looks as good as I thought. Also I'm glad doublelift figured out who was on optic.

it's hard to take esports seriously after the remilia-badawi story. a player's union would have avoided all of that, and i'm surprised she didn't kill herself, to be honest.

His brother stabbed their mother to death, and his dad is in critical condition.

He found out when he came off stage.
