Forg1ven is toxic as hell though so this was inevitable

[BROseidon]

He's actually not, thought.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Yeah he is. Sure, people can see it as extremely determent, but why else would a team kick their best player. It's the same reason he was kicked from CW last year

[zoraster]

I mean I think he's probably pretty toxic to the environment, but I'm pretty sure he's gone because he wanted to be gone. Which is part of the toxicity.

[BROseidon]

Forgiven wanted out because of nrated. The SK org chose to keep nrated over forgiven.

[BROseidon]

Also gambit is going to need a god of a coach to deal with Eddy, forgiven, and diamond

[mykonian]

According to their coach, the environment wasn't ideal in a multitude of ways. Might be a bit harsh to put that all on forgiven.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Forg1ven is searching for the perfect team, which doesn't exist, which means I have a hard time believing he'll be satisfied on any team. It's similar to Rekless, except he's a crybaby

[animorpherv1]

Meanwhile, Rekkles is probably going back to Fnatic. Seriously, such a damn crybaby.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Meanwhile a whole new revamped elements line up, forg1ven to gambit, pobelter to clg. Juicy shit

[mykonian]

2 of those are going to work out.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

I highly doubt any of them work, giving the Gambit change the most chances

[dramonic]

I dont get the CLG swap. Sure Link isnt a star player, but at least he performed consistently

This might provide some insight.

[quadz08]

doublelift made some counterpoints too, for what that's worth

I hope that Misfits do well in the Challenger scene - I'd love to see a female player hit the LCS, and Crumbz is just kind of my favorite all the time, so.

[mykonian]

...

ok, I get that you'd like a female player to join, but you are excited for

Crumbz

?

[quadz08]

i really like crumbz, he's a cool guy

i would be equally or possibly more enthused to see him permanently on the analyst desk though

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

Link was only half the problem. The other half is Doublelift and it has been obvious for a while he isn't what he claims to be.

[Iecerint]

I'm totally psyched for Misfits. RF Legendary,

Crumbzz

Alberto, AlexIch, and

Yuno

Remilia are all really charismatic and fun to root for.

I can't remember who they picked up for AD. I know their last person didn't work out.

[quadz08]

Jebus is the name

[Voidedmafia]

I would ask if Link would go to C9, but he's gone, so.

I'm expecting a huge surge for TiP, Liquid and Gravity, at least. Where TSM ends up will hugely depend on whether or not they realize how bad shoving Dyrus away was for them at MSI and how dedicated they are to avoiding doing that again. I mean, he may be their rock, but even a rock like him needs its support. If they do, they might very well remain at the top (although the weakness of NA in general ought to be considered when weighing being 1st in NA against other regions). If not, then they'll probably just be middling and maybe surge come playoffs.

C9 officially picked up incarnation a few days ago

TSM will always do well because it's not like there's a whole lot of competition.

[Voidedmafia]

Well, yeah, hence why I said they'd be middling at best during the season and probably surge at playoffs. Although it probably speaks to the region as a whole that a team like TSM can have such a staggeringly huge problem in the top lane and not expect a very heavy shunt to the bottom because the other teams just have more or bigger problems. Or more AND bigger problems.

Problem in toplane? They have a problem in general as a team. They ignore Dyrus entirely and expect him to do well, To have Bjergsen stay mid the entire laning phase just to win 1v1, then expect Lustboy to help Santorin because without Lustboy Santorin just does nothing. If any team shuts down any of that down in the laning phase and TSM doesn't get ahead in the laning phase, they just lost because they are clueless midgame.
