Chaox wasn't anything special so he's fairly easy to replace, but you have to consider Xpecial as legitimately top tier in NA in terms of supports, as he has been a huge playmaker for them for a long time. Gleebglarbu lost to Yolopete and fed a ton in his promotional series. He's a shitter. Damn, the hate is real. While Gleeb may not be that good, I think since the meta has shifted away from ADCs and more marksman/tower pushers, so Turtle doesn't really get a chance to shine and doesn't need to be making super aggressive plays in lane or even face off 2v2 in lane so the "skill" of the support or bottom lane duo as a whole isn't as important. While they lose out on Xpecials play-making and initiations, they made up for it by having Amazing come in to replace TOO. Overall its an upgrade. Not to mention Xpecial is super passive-aggressive so the overall team environment should improve a lot as well. | ||

Regi: Hey Xpecial, Dyrus told me you called him a feeding pile of shit after the series. Is that true? Xpecial: Yeah, so? It's true. Regi: You're benched Xpecial Xpecial: Wat, Dyrus IS a feeder though. Regi: ILL REPLACE YOU WITH ELEMENTZ Xpecial: Lomo *Minutes later* Regi: I've replaced you with Gleebglarbu, the feedar from C9T who lost to YOLOPETE. Xpecial: Lomo, if you don't want to win, idgaf. I'll just go join all the rejects on Curse. | ||

On May 05 2014 22:50 AlterKot wrote: I wonder why didn't TSM announce Amazing same way they did Bjergsen. Back then we had weeks of rumors, confusion between some pros suggesting it's true and others outright denying it. Then finally we get an annoucement with an unfunny video and just hours later Bjergsen was already streaming and riding on the hype to get ridiculous viewer numbers. With Amazing? Most TSM fans don't know who he is, they only have dry news on some new solomid website. Even if they check, he's just some new player who played on a bad European team and earned some mvps that don't mean shit, you'd have to actually watch EU LCS to understand why he's one of the Europe's best. Instead all the focus is on Oddone's retirement and Xpecial drama. It's TSM fans problem that they don't know who Amazing is. Bjergsen was the most hyped midlaner back in 2013, even Froggen in glorious 2012 days hadn't received as much hype as Bjergsen got. And it's logic that all focus is on TOO and Xpecial, they were part of glorious TSM days like forever. | ||

And didn't you argue some time ago that Bjergsen wasn't all that hype and it was all about Nukeduck in S3 :p ? | ||

Right now I think many people still don't know who Amazing is. And didn't you argue some time ago that Bjergsen wasn't all that hype and it was all about Nukeduck in S3 :p ? Bjergsen got all hype while nukeduck was the best, but noone cared about Lemondogs at all, they were like Vulcun in Summer, results/fanbase proportion was way bigger than for anyone. Reginald? Reginald was slumping whole Summer 2013, TSM just got lucky in Game 1 against CLG when CLG throw, else Reginald wasn't even at Worlds. It was matter of time when he steps down and Bjergsen was obvious choice for him because Bjergsen was in LA whole Worlds, spending time with WT and Reginald. | ||

A simple highlight video like the one they did for Bjerg would have gone a long way, especially considering the fact that all anyone is going to remember is C9T's recent losses to EG/LMQ/T8. | ||

Maurice" could be for Amazing if they didn't confirm it so quickly. I'm also pretty sure people had the same opinion on Regi's leave as they had about Oddone's leave, except they don't know how good his replacement will be. Well, Amazing wasn't posting pics with WT/other TSM and C9 squads during whole Worlds as Bjergsen did. And what is opinion right now? Only delusional TSM fans could think that team with Reginald will be as strong as it was with Bjergsen and that TOO is still in his prime and not in relative slump since Season 2 except for Spring Playoffs when he suddenly pulled Cho'Gath and finished 5 games in play-offs on dinosaur with 45 kda, carrying WT who went on ultrafeedmode in finals.

Everyone loves Xpecial in community, noone hates him and if player who is beloved is dumped - then community is always vicious. Imagine AlexIch not just leaving Gambit but being dropped? Will be drama for a month. | ||
