Kakao to LGD rumour debunked: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3337809934
MissBear: Your team really recruited Kakao? Or is it just a baseless rumour?
Quan: Nah, just joking around
T/N: Don't ask me who MissBear is, I only know that I've seen this IGN on Weixiao's stream multiple times. Anyway, there was news that one of the CN player-streamers(I think it was Quan himself?) said on stream that Kakao was joining LGD. Guess that was just the streamers playing around and trolling the viewers xD Also in the next source below (the megathread one) there are posters saying that Kakao is going to Snake.
CN player transfer megathread http://bbs.ngacn.cc/read.php?tid=7326021&_ff=-152678&rand=213
Okay, my brain and eyes going nuts from trying to decipher what's going on. Apologies if some of the info was already shared before. Fellow CN-EN blinguals help me out with this and see if I've missed anything out, I'm terribad at reading CN forums.
1st Table: Buying of entire teams
Vici Gaming bought LinG for 300k RMB
Stand Point Gaming bought Dream Catcher for 750k RMB
2nd Table: Individual player status (You guys can see for yourselves who went where, only translating player statuses with additional notes)
MickeyGod -> back to KR current status unknown
Stand Point Gaming has Tabe (unretired), unnamed KR toplaner, unnamed KR jungler
OMG's 2nd team has JQK's support player 艾迪西, ex-KTA jungler Lira, Midlane KR challenger PLX. Ignore the part about Cloud being temporarily on this team; as seen from Worlds QFs, he's returned to OMG's main roster. For now.
Fa1th KTA -> TNT
3. Team TNT
"TNT招入原SKT教练组，目前有6个棒棒，不算教练组，应该是多支队伍打TGA了。
老板在韩国认识一个很知名的电竞教授。
(韩国队员在基地养孔雀，叼的飞起。)"
TNT hired SKT's original coaching staff. Currently there's 6 koreans; not a coaching group, probably a team to enter TGA instead. The owner knows a renowned Esports professor in KR. (KR members are raising peacocks in team house*, damn cool)
T/N: First up, CN teamhouses are huge and CN owners are rich, which is the only reason why I'm actually believing this + translating it literally instead of attempting to treat it like a metaphor. Secondly 叼的飞起 carries a tiny bit of mocking tone in addition to being "wow". Lastly, TGA is an amateur tournament, any player who has participated in any professional-level tournaments is ineligible to player in TGA. Which is weird cause Fa1th is supposedly on TNT's roster. Does anyone know if this player actually played any matches under KTA?
LaoPi retires http://t.qq.com/p/t/439638070017790
年紀大了 想在拼最後一把 但現實就是這樣 發白日夢的時間也該結束了 來皇族是我自己決定的 我不怪任何人 我怪我自己太蠢了 這段時間我心如死灰 但沒什麼所謂了 我沒得選擇 就讓我安靜的離開職業圈吧
I'm older now; wanting to give it one more shot, but this is how reality is. It's also about time for me to stop daydreaming. The decision to go to Royal is mine alone; I don't blame anyone but myself for being too dumb. During this time I've become entirely disheartened. But nevermind. I have no choice. So let me quietly leave the professional scene.
T/N: LaoPi uses very flowery language. "心如死灰" literally means heart as dead as ashes. "沒什麼所謂了" is a mix of who cares/there's nothing left for me to care about except less strong in tone. It's somewhat of a sad 'oh well' sort of feeling.
EDG 2nd Team

I haven't read his statement but you would think the views from Reflections and SI alone would be a good reason for OnGamers to renew his contract. I think it would be more likely he would have chosen not to renew as there are probably better opportunities for him out there (money wise).

and nothing of value was lost.

I hope it's Seraph but I think it will be Dexter, or both.

Need to bench link, can't have an average player that only plays to not lose lane on the most important role. But if they bench link they need to get an NA mid right? cause Dexter and Seraph are already 2 foreigners.

Yup. The next earliest CLG can bring in another import without dropping either Seraph and/or Dexter is Dec 2015 (Since Dexter joined CLG in Dec 2013 and you need 2 (out of the past 3) years of residency to gain resident status in LCS.) Or maybe slightly later than that depending on how strictly Riot decides to count the years of residency.
It's the same for LMQ. the team could technically pick up NA players to fill up whoever's left the team, just bum around in CS/LCS for a year, gain NA LCS residency status for XWX, Mor & Vasilii which fulfills the 3/5ths rule allowing them to re-import from CN, go back to being an all-CN team and then we can have LMQ 2.0.
Except Tian Ci is apparently being an ass and wants LMQ back to LPL =_=
I would've said bench Link as well, if not for the 3/5ths rule. As it is I think Seraph's the likeliest to be part of this roster change, be is position swap or being completely released from CLG =/

Seraph's champion pool seems more AD-centric than AP though? (of the 3 times I've watched his streams he's been playing Lucian and more Lucian)
Zion top Seraph ADC DLift Mid ;D

What a salt, CLG, when will you give me a gift to watch same roster for 2 splits in a row, meh.
Geniunely hoping that it's not Zion instead of Seraph, won't be surprised by Link going jungle either.

Dexter more likely to leave than Seraph, Seraph's stock has only been going up and Dexter has been pretty underwhelming of late (plus seems to be one source of issues with team? Tough to tell from Chasing the Cup since it's definitely edited.)
If Link suits up for CLG in spring I will be fully convinced Hotshot is either the most incompetent team owner since Al Davis, or he just gets drunk and throws darts at a board to make decisions regarding CLG.

Since NA playoffs I was thinking that both Dexter and Seraph would be replaced. With Link being a possibility.
Also depends on which replacements CLG can get though.

Safe to assume that Kerp will land in LCS still, so it's either SK or Acer if rumours about Selfie leaving are true.
Jokes aside, now i'm not betting my moneys on {M} to qualify, Creaton won't be able to carry everyone, if only...
MILLENIUM EXILEH BOYS, CALLING IT.

Link is somewhere in Hai's position for CLG, you're not going to find anyone better right now.
So, i'm just assuming that if Dexter leaves for Fnatic or any other EU team, then CLG.Beelzehan is going to happen.
And if Zion comes instead of Seraph, Seraph goes back to IM prison or Falcons, or even Shield, who fucking knows how hard is Save tilting still, and dexter stays.

Wonder if this means rumours of Kevin to Roc are more likely.

I hope someone on reddit checks lolnexus to see who he plays with now. I am too lazy. I guess SK is a possibility.

Funnily enough, he was scrimming whole day yesterday with {M}.
Guess, someone really gave him a lot, that he didn't even pull a Nyph and hadn't left after his team qualified.
