Well, could be legit if they transferred Mor as well, then Dig could be considered as force and not Vasilii show.
This Korean is most likely Ryu, actually, but only because there are no toplaners rumoured to leave Korea so far, so i have no clue what is happening.

Also, Kiwikid apparently is going to be out, because he wasn't asked about re-signing even after expressing his desire to play for team.

Also throwing this.

Voting for IEM... can't wait for Gambit to represent EU.

Honestly I'd be disappointed if we didn't get the see kiwisilli even once. They'd only go 10/0 or 0/10 it'd be hilarious

Mata is S4 MVP, he doesn't give a fuck about yo contracts
He played one aram and left lmao

EG may bootcamp in Korea (Which probably means they need to go renew helios' visa)

LGD.Kakao and LGD.Rookie accounts spotted together. May be trolling though

One would think after grinding for years and finally becoming world champs he'd take a break instead he's streaming from a pc bang not even a week after winning :D

Rekkles seems out of fnatic. http://www.dailydot.com/esports/rekkles-alliance-fnatic-buyout-option/

Don't know who he's potentially going to.

I guess that means we can expect a RiotKrepo announcement soon. Didn't expect him to leave this year after he didn't last year but seems it's time.

gtrsrs got kinda ripped in that post - at least, as much as Krepo ever rips anyone.

Hope he finds a team, still think he's got at least one season left in him.

It's really not as much as age as much as how much competitiveness he still has in him.

And if he left the team basically saying "these shitters are toxic and bad and i can't win with them" I assume he has a lot of that left.

DIG Krepo?

That was actually a well damn post from Krepo. I knew that lcs na/eu scrim+team environment was mostly bad but never imagined it to be that shitty.

Damnit Guitar!

It is very surprising how bad a lot of players are at talking like normal people lol.I get it they are kinda young but still...

I guess since I've only ever dealt with amateur teams I've never really experienced the type of blatant lack of social abilities that krepo is talking about. In uni when we made a dota team we'd all go lan and drink together, there were problems eventually but knew how to talk about it like normal people. Feels a lot of these pro players are trying to jump into life far too quickly thus leaving behind a lot of the natural learning one undergoes.

That's why I think Krepo grilled gtrsrs there a bit. These guys are young with little to no life experience, the adults have to be the ones to take charge and give them the tools to grow as not only players but human beings. The latter is what gets so neglected for most of these players.

This may be off base but do American schools have a lot of group activities? Where I went to school we basically had 3-4 sports teams per age group per sport where almost everyone at school participates. Those that aren't into physical activity do other non physical sports. I get the feeling a lot of these players have never actually had to work as part of a group before. It's an important enough skill that employers here even ask about if you were on sports teams.

Then throughout Uni(At least Engineering) we had a ton of forced group work projects which further made you deal with people. I'd have thought being part of pro and amateur teams gives you a similar experience but I guess it isn't quite the same.
