That's literally what Hotshot and Regi did. And it's just basic business - you think you have an idea on how to do what others do but better, you get the money to do it and you do it. | ||

No. They were talking about TSM holding jungle tryouts and the rest of the cast asked Nintendude if he was going to try out. Nintendude said he hasn't been contacted by or contacted TSM. | ||

Yes likeable guy and all, but he already failed. I think its either IWD, who is really underrated I feel or go with Helios, who is just the obvious choice esp with the connections to Loco. We have to keep in mind though, that TSM is not only about the comp. spirit, but also to make TSM a global brand around the world. I think its no coincidence we have NA, EU and KR all under the same banner. I think Regi would love to take a chinese player as well. With next worlds prob in china this would be a great business move. I dont really know if the are some loopholes to take another foreigner and if there is any good jungler, that at lest understands english. so I'm like 90% its gonna be Helios. | ||

IWD is already signed with Curse, Helios is obvious choice for TSM. Unless EG Seraph/Dexter happen after it, will be sad for EG. TSM is already global brand, that season 2 streak + CLG wasting time in Korea just boosted them over the roof. | ||

Since they're at their foreigner cap, TSM is restricted to NA people and exempt foreigners(Helios if he doesn't resign with EG, Dexter, or NoName if LMQ implodes.) | ||

TSM can add a foreigner with some shenanigans but it might require that one of their current exempt guys sits out a day. (if they bench lustboy, promote an NA native, sign a foreign jungler, and promote lustboy again they're legal) | ||

No, they would have 2 NA guys, 2 exempt guys and a non-exempt foreigner which is a legal team. edit: The direct quote of the rule is "At least 60% (three out of five) Starters on any competing team must be Residents or exempt non-Residents." | ||

Let's begin with this. Apparently, it's not Maknoon, he and GBM are going to NA according to rumours, safe to assume that someone will land on CLG/EG. Lovely Allen doesn't retire, so we're going to see his new nickname next season, seems like Gogoing/Allen/Cool/San/xiyang is next season OMG roster. IT'S BIG, BOYS. KaKAO, Rookie and Mafa will play for China Telecom most likely, just for diferent teams. Also, Lustboy apparently got offer from EDG but declined and staying with TSM. | ||

Helios is probably the frontrunner but he could be happy on EG and IWD is under contract. Past them you have Santorin who's done nothing worth noting, Thinkcard and untried junglers like Inori. I just think if TSM goes with Nintendude, they are settling. Like I said, I don't think he's bad by any means, but this is TSM, a team expected to win their region. Nintendude is a mid-range jungler at best, I certainly don't think gambling on someone like Thinkcard or Inori could be much worse, whereas the payoff could be huge if the untested guys pan out. At the very least, they are both mechanically sounder than the Dude. | ||
