Would not regard him as a free-agent player but manager, coach or whatever. Also I would be surprised if he doesnt have quite advanced plans already.
Btw the Impaler/Alex team is dead, not surprised tbh.
But if you like to watch team ranked 5s, there is already a replacement - Amazing, Kerp, Nigntsniper, Morsu, Jree: http://www.twitch.tv/NightSniperlol
Cant really believe this is a serious team, but who knows.

CLG. Spirit. Is. Fucking. Open.
PLEASE. POACH. HIM.
On less serious note, qtpie doesn't have Dignitas background either in twitter now, so that's it. Hotshot always says that importing Korean players doesn't work unless the coaching staff can also communicate in Korean. If he isn't fielding a Korean coach or at least having a translator for Scarra I think he would be against it just on principle. IMO, CLG doesn't have the money to import a high or top tier Korean. CLG doesn't have TSM's moneys, but they have enough to import. Meanwhile, Oritura Sum dream is dead.
Probably means one of KaSing/Impaler/Alex got signed to an existing LCS team. Might see an announcement about that soon!

Whoa what about Kevin. Think he'd get signed before any of those.

With what team, lol. Toplane is last lane to be swapped in whole region + considering that Roccat's position got Overpow'ed, i don't think Kev1n can easily find a team, unless Youngbuck finally steps down or Gambit changes Kubon.

Not really. The people we were talking about in the past were players locked into low salaries by little to no bargaining power while the Korean imports are being sought after and, due to their clout, have bargaining power + have to contend with Kespa orgs.

Am I the only one here who thinks Toyz is probably garbage? He played Orianna when she was shit-broken and abused it to a championship. I'm not discounting their championship in anyways, but he was a good player like.... 2 years ago.

Just because Chinese billionaires are willing to pay big $ for famous Korean players, does not equate to them being willing to pay big $ for not so famous domestic players. The logic is little different from vintage brand worship.

ToyZ and whole TPA triple success (1st at S2 Worlds, 3rd at IPL5 and then 27-1 in GPL) is miracle which never will happen at all in 5-6 years if ever (hello, Casy). But rating ToyZ as one of the best ever, uh, that's more than questionable, there were a lot of players who played Karthus, Anivia and Orianna for competitve level in season 2, they're saying hello here again.
If anyone, it's Mistake who should be praised as a God but not ToyZ.

I know it's just duoing and there's a good chance they're all just friends, but I am reading a lot into Zion duoing with Bjergsen a ton and now Dyrus all of today. There's no question to me he's high on TSM's radar.

So unless Dyrus is planning on retiring, I don't see Zion toping on TSM.

Zion has been playing a lot of jungle recently (hell he changed his name to LFTTOPMIDJUNG) and I wouldn't be surprised if TSM sees him as being a better option than the Nintendudes and Thinkcards of the world. He was the shotcaller on Coast (not that that means a ton but he has some experience there) and is obviously a pretty smart player. The one concern I have is that we haven't really seen players shifting to the jungle to really know how hard it is (Hotshot and those CLG players, Crumbzz going BACK to the jungle were the two that came to mind).
|
I would say though that his penchant for split pushing fosters communication and game sense that is beneficial for jungling, if anything.
