So basically Krepo is saying that Altec is a weird awkward nerd who plays video games all day with limited social skills. Whats new? The generic video gamer/progamer isn't your most outgoing type of person, chances are they go to school & talk to no one and go straight home after to play games (young age doesn't help either). What he said about Altec isn't all surprising to be honest, he seemed like the generic shy/awkward gamer kid who don't have much social skills (You think i'm stereotyping, but there's a lot of those around here).
Obviously it's hard to make a judgement off of one side of the story, but a "life coach" as stupid as it sounds is a valid position and is needed among teams with young talented players.

Basically,
Curse has a legit ADC
Roccat has a new ADC (I'll make sure to get some inside info on who it is at PGA :^) ) and Overpow top
SK is probably Forgiven and WDF
LGD Kakao/Rookie is likely
Nien is back to ADC
Rekkles wants to leave Fnatic
Dexter and Amazing are free from shitty toxic teams :^)
Christmas came pretty early this year.
Also don't want to spoil Redox's work but Paravine has a pretty good roster sheet already :p http://www.paravine.com/2014/10/2015-pre-seasons-roster-swaps/ (not to mention the post by Kitzz posted earlier)

Honestly since roccat/shc are actually practicing with mithy/nukeduck should be pretty much confirmed they are gonna get unbanned.Just not official yet.

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... 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. Team sports are certainly not mandatory for students in the US. I don't know what percentage of people play them. I personally always thought it was just the most athletic kids, though. The only time I felt pressure to play sports was intramurals (i.e. within-school competition) when I was at a boarding school for a year. Group work is definitely a thing although I have no idea what constitutes "tons".
I would point out that lack of participation in team sports (IMO) is what drives a lot of what I perceive and internet overreaction and immaturity to legitimate criticism. Particularly if it comes from a stranger (relatively) or is done in an aggressive or hostile way.
I.E. Many (I'd say a majority, but its hard to define, probably a majority of those who took it seriously) people who I know on my HS sports teams would have been able to tank the allegedly overwhelming criticism that Gleeb/Nien/etc have gotten over the years.

I'm pretty sure it's not the legit criticism they're worried about, it's the "go kill urself fkin noob" that's bothering them.

RIP Krepo the first victim of the region lock, if you don't qualify as a domestic player and aren't top 3 talent on your team I don't see how a team can afford to keep you on roster

Real salt is that there are almost no players in the West who're good in clutch and Krepo wasn't in clutch situations for a year and now he's either on random Dignitas or nowhere.
Also, what are speculations on EG support? Are they going to get random Ken/matlife or what.

I think ExecutionerKen is going to be a frontrunner, they may wait until expansion finishes to scope out potential pick ups. Like bunny/sheep/patoy/lohpally are decent options at least.
They could import a support, mafa's available right?

Mafa is going to play for Chinese Telecom according to rumours, especially if KaKAO and Rookie are trolling with LGD moves.
Ye, Sheep is logical choice after Santorin chokes in Expansions.

Eh, I mean LoLPro tried out Ken and they went with roleswap Keith McBrief over him. Probably better to get Bunny or Sheep if one of them doesn't make it or get Gleeb and reunite the C9T bot lane.

XD would be fun since falcons has collapsed and I doubt that he'll come on over chei unless they replace cptjack with pilot and want the bot lane synergy but idk if he wants to come to the west like the rest of falcons
FORGIVEN SUPPORT TO EG!?

Gleeb is on Team Fusion. They'd have to wait until after expansion if he doesn't make it into LCS.

I honestly think he decided to leave on his own. I think he would tell us if it was otherwise. Or did he hint at something like that and I overlooked it? Also he is exempt so any team can pick him up without problems.
But it is true this gives EG the opportunity to pick up a non-exempt non-resident now. So they could pick up a Korean to replace Innox for example. Maybe he is the least happy about Krepo leaving. :D

Seen much worse from fans. I had a local reporter (allegedly a professional) ask me, a Freshman at the time, why I wasn't making my teammates better (in wrestling, since I was like 9-3 and the team had lost all our duals).
Edit:
My point isn't that the criticism is all legitimate, it is that normally people in sports develop an ability to cope with it when they are surrounded by friends/family in High School (even before).

You should have answered "How am I gonna make my teammates better by practicing?"

I basically just sweated on the guy. He tried to interview me 15 seconds (it felt like) after the match ended. Then my coach got pissed and dragged him away (which Is what I was trying to say about how its important to first get the criticisms when you have a healthy amount of support).
