Certainly it must mean most (if not all) of the NA expansion pre-qualified spots are vacant, which could be huge. Ladder ranking will actually be quite significant now if the top teams potentially will get first-round byes. | ||

Keane who is having huge visa issues (I'd imagine his situation is a bit weird having lived in OCE for a while but being a Korean citizen?) As has been stated, they've been playing with bigfatlp (and winning!) in 5s. Cris is out for Hauntzer who came up from the LoLPro team. Cris left quite a while ago so I'd actually say that CA has had 1 actual recent roster change and if Keane does get his visa sorted he's back in npnp | ||

Now, Keane was having visa issues but I just checked Saint's Ask.fm and he says Keane will come back this weekend, so seems like crisis averted. But still, looking like the #1 and #2 challenger ladder teams may wind up with first round byes. | ||

The scene inside the LCS is pretty volatile too, look at all the memberswaps and drops that are happening. the only difference is there are restrictions to what they can do (taking only like 1 member from another lcs team, and foreigner limits) | ||

Either it's going to be Keane, bigfatlp or other one trick pony it doesn't matter at all. Only toss up is Fusion vs coL #2, this might be interesting just because coL #1 has Kez who tends to shit bed in Promotions. Coast are just too random to call them as favourites and LolPro is same story. | ||

Coast are just too random to call them as favourites and LolPro is same story. I dunno, I actually think Enemy, LoLPro, CoL, Crushed Dreamz (CoL #2), Coast and Fusion all have pretty equal chances of making the #2 spot. I mean, you say it's a toss up between Fusion and CoL #2, but Enemy beat Fusion (http://www.lolking.net/replay/na/1610215310) and CoL 2 (http://www.lolking.net/replay/na/1603192553) in 25 minute stomps with final kill scores of like 25-5. Then, they turn around and lose to CoL #1 (http://www.lolking.net/replay/na/1609763744). They all seem pretty capable of beating each other at this point. | ||

And i'm not going to put a single ruble on inori performing on stage + if otter is behind, they have sick troubles transitioning into midgame from what i've seen. Lol, Krislund. Gambit is safe pick for bot-4 now. | ||

Because I thought that roster was pretty good, at least until otter randomly leaves it next week Dunno what they announced, but it is unchanged for some time I think. It is this roster: http://www.trackingthepros.com/team?id=41 They are indeed doing pretty well on ladder. Yesterday they got stomped twice by Coast though. Interestingly Coast has now started to grind the team ladder. No idea if just for practise or if they lost their expansion spot after all. Regarding Gambit that we talked about yesterday, I checked lolnexus and they are atm apparently scrimming with Cabochard, Diamond, Krislund, Edward. Dont know who plays mid. edit: ok dailydot also says Krislund. | ||

It's not like Challenger teams have shittons of practice partners now, when everyone has holidays from LCS squads and just starts scrimming in 1-2 weeks. So, gotta grind, i'd say, to build up shinergy. Will be fun though if suddenly Coast saves their expansion spot with Riot's making a "TSM poached and got fined" call.
