Very interesting statement from MoMa.
Happened just like I speculated before. The performance of aaa at IPL4 was so abysmal, there had to be big problems in the team and there had to be consequences in their lineup.
And Moma was kicked, because he did not have the time to increase the training like they required of him. Probably also because he was very critical of the team. Generally I agree with his statement that lack of training was not their main problem.

YellowStar: "I'm announcing a sad new for the team and everyone supporting us. MoMa is quitting the team because his availability is not in line with everyone's expectations anymore and will not be contributing to the training sessions needed for the desired stability of the team. We wish to impose our gameplay, be it offline or online.

MoMa has been giving alot to the team for a long time, it's a player I really apreciate. We've spent many good times, he's a great player but lacks motivation sometimes. To close this, let's wish him a very good future playing LoL."

MoMa leaving doesn't come as a surprise, part of the reason he didn't join SK was the same, doesn't want to dedicate fully to the game. Now nRated is the only non french player on the team, hopefully he doesn't feel too left out and quit too...

Imsofresh I don't think is that top class a jungler. But Moopz is a massive rager in general and it's not strange they argued.

Syphers team seems so wrecked. Their lost skyyart who was probably their best player and now don't even have a jungler.

Same thing happened with AL, bad for them as well. He was one of the best tops I think.

Basically of the best EU LOL Teams, AL, M, aAa and Sypher just got gutted. We still have CLG.EU I guess.

This weak is destroy Europe week it seems :D.

Imo:

aAa appaear to be weaker, amt2k isn't as great as Moma even though he is very good but not quite sure about that yet, they finally lost to m5 which they never have done with moma on their lineup, They did destroy AL though but that could just be AL falling apart atm.
AL are significantly weaker, while Angush was a real rager, he was a very good player and shotcaller, not quite sure if they can be at the top of the competitive scene without a proper shotcaller, AL seems very divided on who is the leader atm.
WW are significantly weaker, what used to be a top 5 team is now less than that.
Sypher: No opinion, will probably look for another jungler.

M5/CLGeu same level, top 1/2 in Europe atm, aAa close 3rd, IDK who is 4th/5th now (probably Derpers and Teamless), AL and WW seem to have fallen off significantly.

Pretty strong new team, came 2nd in 4PL (after destroying m5 but then losing to clgeu (even though they had a 10k gold lead over clgeu, clgeu teamfights are just stupidly broken :D)) and qualified for the TGS and Absolute Amateur League (they got promoted to the APL due to Millennium disbanding).

Team roster is: Arthana (AD), Jree (support), Hawkdon (AP), Talol (Jungler) and Fredericococo (or something, he needs to change his name, too hard to remember XD, Top)

Only difference between a solo queue team and an established team is time really. TSM and CLG were basically the top solo queuers back in the day.

Oh, of course. Being a solo q team is not a knock on the players. Mono was a solo q and they look rather formidable now.
