Like yeah, Arrow's name suits his team really well. And that's pretty much it. During the Summer Final he was completely outclassed by Deft and he was basically useless in the series against NJWS.
> SKT T1. > go to KT.
No.

But well, if suddenly someone like Forgiven is just a second option, in case you don't get a former World Champion, then I guess things are going well for Curse :p Also, I wonder if it wouldn't be best for Curse to get a Chinese ADC, considering that Xpecial knows mandarin and all that.
Communication and pre-existing synergy is overrated.
Random trivia from the LPL stream of TW grp stage: UZI & Zero almost never communicate with each other during laning phase. Like bot lane is silent during laning phase even though they're one of the most trade-heavy ones. Also, Insec doesn't know(and doesn't seem interested to learn) mandarin.
If the members of a team are on the same page, have a common understanding of how to play the game and have enough faith in each other to play as they should, communication is excess, not necessity.
Piglet would be so wasted in CRS though, I hope he gets a good KR offer especially seeing how he doesn't seem to be plagued with attitude issues (*cough*insec*cough*) and has proven his worth (unlike Zero)

Don't think synergy and communication is overrated at all, but it's certainly no problem if you're that far ahead of your opponents, which should be the case for Piglet in NALCS and was also the case for SHRC at Worlds so far.

I don't think it's so obvious. It's widely agreed that SHRC play a very messy game, it's just that they have some of the most talented players. Additionally, I think they have someone on the coaching staff who speaks Korean, also Zero and Insec were already teammates so they can just talk to each other. Meanwhile Crs is a very methodical team, who might not be the best at reactive shotcalling, but generally rely heavily on prepared strategies which put them ahead early and/or mid game. I'm just not sure if that would be a good environment for Piglet to perform and whether lack of communication would really not hurt them.
Besides, I sometimes half-jokingly say that Xpecial makes every ADC he plays with look better than he really is. And while it may be simple coincidences: Wildturtle looked like a beast in S3, remove Xpecial and suddenly he only performs on Tristana. Doublelift had his best performance in S3 at All-stars. Cop had his probably best performance in his life in final week and playoff games. Not to mention S2 MVP Chaox who can't find a team ever since. So well, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's just what Xpecial does in game, but I wouldn't be suprised if it also had to do with him telling his lane partners what to do.

Is CJ Frost the #potential team of Korea now? I'd rather see him replace the one weak link on my favorite team, which btw actually achieved something this season, too bad it was against these samsung shitters and not some good team like T1K or Frost.

What a salt, lol. KT got finals only because of immense bracket luck, calling this team as potential or something like that is just hilarious. Props though for forcing Blue to fight in KT swamp and props for not letting Marin to get finals.
If Frost didn't drop Swift and swapped Space with Piglet, they could easily be in finals, but right now i just hope that Swift and Piglet will end in same team and it's KT or IM prison.
There is one reason, why Piglet won't be able to achieve anything in Curse. He won't be able to play 16 hours per day and when you're forced to completely change your lifestyle, it won't give results for a loooong time.

oGs Ensnare? loved his terran back in beta

He was amazing in the beta. One more SC2 player to add to the list of making a succesful transition to coaching League, while the list of succesful player transitions remains BW-only.

Wasn't ensnare the player who remained in code S for an obscene amount of seasons during GomTvT?

http://www.esl.eu/eu/team/7626896/ Alex's squad is cabochard/imsofresh/alex/jebus/dioud. Not bad actually
Former WC3 player and prime coach sweet joins Jin Air. Congratulations to sweet on being the first prime LoL member to not end up on a world elite squad!

Is Prime still involved with LoL or did they give up on it?

Well, on their website they still list a League division, but they don't actually list any players/staff like they do for their SC section. So it's either lazy site management or they've currently scrapped things yet not given up on it.

Ah I see. I think it's funny that WE stole Prime's players, because when I started following them they were Prime.WE

Hahaha ok. Kakao's KTA is the only team to win more than a single game against Blue since spring, and they are 1:1 in series against Shield. Meanwhile Frost had one good NLB run where they beat T1K and NJBS, and then lost to T1K next NLB, not to mention Samsung teams are untouchable for them. But I'm sure there's a lot of potential in Frost swapping Space for Piglet, it would clearly be a much better team than Arrows swapping Arrow for Piglet, lol. And I'm not sure what you mean with your Curse comment, what would prevent him from playing as much? Unless you mean that his coach would tell him "how about you only play 14 hours and get some sleep" and think that would substantially hurt his performance.

He's a massive CLG/SKT fan, which means he has poor taste.
