Thank God, that this retard isn't going to be at Worlds, rofl.
Gonna cheer for Darker on the other hand and their adc, dayruin might have some potential.

Freeze is now a "free agent" which apparentely means no contract but NiP may rebuild anyway.

Basically, CRS.FREEZE LITERALLY TRIFIRMED. It's like confirming, but tripled.

On the other hand, it's almost certain that at least ONE sibling of Curse will make LCS with expansion, so i can't wait until Liquid reveals what will be the name of organisation.

I feel sorry for curse, they have as many ADCs as CLG have top laners. The struggle is real.

On more serious note though, think about NA adcs.

Vasilii isn't going to be replaced, Sneaky won't be replaced either, if only C9 don't wanna rebuild team after failure at Worlds, for example.

Doublelift is most likely to retire if CLG don't make Worlds, at least i won't be surprised (damn, this day will be sad day for me), WildTurtle has probably his worst split in LCS right now, Cop is going to be replaced for S5 for 99% if Curse want to achieve something and Dignitas ain't something to be sure of + Imaqtpie isn't on his peak either.

Altec will be core of EG-S5, Robert is basically core of coL by himself.

+ We will have two more teams and if Coast want to achieve something as well as Curse, they will have to replace DontMashMe at some point and Curse siblings don't have best adcs even for Challenger scene.

So, if Freeze and Forg1ven really want it, they won't have problems of finding place, most likely.

I feel like if they want to replace qtpie they'd also have to replace kiwikid, can we get a mithy/freeze reunion on dig rolling?
CST.Forgiven would also be fun but idk if coast would really be the kind of team forgiven would consider worth accomplishing something with, even if putting him in mashme's place would patch up their weakness I've still yet to see anything much out of santorin and I'm not sure about how far rhux city would go against ackerman/balls.

Wonderful is obviously a bigger CLG fan than me, but I'm really not sold on LiftLift retiring. QTPie is in the same boat as Voyboy and Doublelift - fan favorites of their respective teams that managers might find hard to replace, especially if they don't want to go themselves. I think that Crs would gladly get either Freeze or Forgiven and send Cop to a challenger team (bunnyfufu-cop lane the dream), but it would be pretty funny if you were right and both Dig and CLG decided to get new marxmen and neither of them would choose Crs. Hopefully that won't happen.

He said before Spring split that it's most likely going to be his last season because he doesn't want to be worse than anyone.
And also, there were rumours about Link's going to university after this season, so, if CLG don't make Worlds, we can see completely new roster. On the other hand, i'm sure that they're capable of playing at least one more season.

Damn.
;/

I'm already ready for news like "Impactful is kicked, Cop is going to play for Curse Academy and we're announcing Curse Freeze". How ironic.

Coast are so weird, rofl. I feel like it's highly possible that they're going to get swept by compLexity. With Westrice progress this season, i don't think he's worse than Rhux, bottom lane will hold, pr0lly won't feed goldenglue, so if Kez doesn't derp in 3 games from 5, coL are ok.

On the other hand, Forg1ven said that he's ok with joining any team if they have some plans for future and ready to work hard. Not like Copenhagen Wolves, apparently.

CW is a dead team anyway, they'll just become G2 2.0 with worse players.

I don't think either of the new teams in the 10 team NA LCS will have the resources or the clout to get foreign players along the lines of Forg1ven or Freeze, but I guess it depends on how desperate they are. Forg1ven in particular, I don't see someone regarded as highly as him going to a bottom barrel team. I could see Curse Forg1ven/Freeze and Curse Academy Cop though, but I guess that depends on whether CA makes LCS (which I don't think they will) and if they do, how much of a relationship they keep with Curse brand (Saint said he will buy the team from Curse if they make LCS).

CLG just got huge fines and banned from OGN/KeSPA

1,250 per player

http://na.lolesports.com/articles/league-legends-competition-ruling-counter-logic-gaming-0

The following players will be fined $1,250 each for their transgressions:

Austin "Link" Shin, Marcel "dexter" Feldkamp, Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng, Zaqueri "Aphromoo" Black
These players are also subject to sanctions by Riot Korea, including a 2-year ban from OGN and KeSPA-owned tournaments including but not limited to OGN Champions, Masters, and NLB.

Basically, this is coming from Nick Allen (Riot). Here's my take on it:

They were given Tournament Realm accounts, a mistake by Riot, but then got Live accounts off people, or shared with each other to practice. It's really a ridiculous ruling. I don't think they were ELO boosting or anything.

Nick Allen really showing how unprofessional he can be, bringing up his anger at the Col/EG/Dig bottom tier situation. There is a difference in being right, and being tactful.

Well if Seraph was banned from Korean competition he would have been so screwed

But 2 years, that's bullshit, Korea's always been to harsh on punitions

What does the bottom tier has to do with this ?
