Honestly if I were to keep one of Santorin or WT id probably keep Santorin.
I think with Dyrus and Lustboy gone a lot of the communication issues would be gone freeing up santorin to be more effective.

Eh, I was hoping 4/5. I dunno, maybe WT's salvageable, but he's gone consistently down since joining TSM.

WT could still be out.

Need 2 people from previous LCS season on roster or w/e now.

No, that's only for former CS teams.

Its just if they replace WT too, it's going to be a completely different team. The main reason I liked TSM was because of Dyrus. Unless TSM finds new personalities (like FNC found Huni) or talent (like FNC found Febiven/Huni), then it's going to be hard cheering for TSM when it's just going to be a whole new team, whole new identity, + Bjergsen.

As far as CLG goes, I hope they don't replace anyone. I think their whole lineup is just solid, I think even xmithie is good, they just need to keep growing. Although according to Pob/DL some people are considering retiring, my guess is xmithie and/or Aphro. Aphro is a boss and my favorite player, hope he doesn't go

Bjergsen should just seek a better team too though, although he probably stays for the paycheck and lack of opposition in mid in NA.

But can DL just retire though? So bad

FakeGod · Post Post #5231 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 2:25 am

so Santorin, Dyrus, and WT are out.

What? DL is still a top 3 ADC in NA. There may be personality reasons you wouldn't want him on your team, but him retiring is very unlikely to help CLG.

You mean Lusboy? TSM has posted statements regarding Santorin/Dyrus/LB but I've seen no indication that WildTurtle is benched/quitting/retiring/anything:

As a result of these changes, Team SoloMid is currently holding tryouts for starters in our top, jungle, and support positions. Any candidate must have the following requirements:

This.

Still though, really nice game, great watching. I hope the whole Bo5 is this good.

As off his game as amazing looks, maple looks INCREDIBLY comfortable.

Origen's shot calling is hilarious.

I think they, more than any other team, understand that you win by killing the nexus, and that everything else is to make killing the nexus easier.

Venmar · Post Post #5238 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 6:41 am

The Sexpeke backdoor is evolving. First Xpeke. Then Soaz. And now the whole team.

zoraster · Post Post #5239 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 8:16 am

i hate how riot focuses on the champion when a player does something good rather than their face cam. Like... I've seen caitlyn walk around doing nothing before. Show me the player reacting.

Venmar · Post Post #5240 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 10:03 am

^ Agreed.

+ 5 points right off the bat

. With Origen in semi's we finally have a western team that isn't FNC proving they CAN get to Semis. If FNC beats EDG (which I think is possible), it will be the first time that two western teams make it to Semis since season 2. FNC making it Finals would make them the first western team to do so since Season 1. Hype!

Voidedmafia · Post Post #5241 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:17 am

I'm still holding a vain hope that Origen will upset SKT.

zoraster · Post Post #5242 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:21 am

I mean they have a chance. It doesn't seem high, but it could happen

True, but the more rational part of me says to just hold out for SKT vs. Fnatic over anything else.

Too bad AHQ is nowhere near good enough to beat SKT. Maybe take a game, MAYBE take them to 5, but not beat them.

MTD · Post Post #5244 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:27 am

I give origen that chance.
Then again I don't think fnatic will beat edg even

Venmar · Post Post #5245 (ISO) » Thu Oct 15, 2015 12:45 pm

AHQ is one of those teams I think that will give it their all and fight you tooth and nail. They have potential to probably take at least 1 game off of SKT if they show up, though SKT will probably win.

Venmar · Post Post #5246 (ISO) » Fri Oct 16, 2015 7:01 am

I don't know why Monte considers OG vs FW to be a super boring series and then think SKT vs AHQ to be competitive. There's nothing entertaining about watching a team get demolished.

FakeGod · Post Post #5247 (ISO) » Fri Oct 16, 2015 7:07 am

That doesn't explain the competitive comment.
