TSM needs a play-maker now. But it's even harder to find a play-maker than it is to find an AP mid.
I don't think Chauster has much attachment to CLG, if you take a gander at the his posts on the CLG forums. he doesn't have the nicest words for his teammates and I recall he said he would leave if the money was good enough. I personally dislike his attitude, his "chauster's the smartest person ever" fan base and he's relatively untested/unproven as a shot-caller (Saint did the calls when he was part of CLG, I think Chauster does it now but they haven't had much success yet.)
Pity Regi is retiring. He had his derp moments, but when he was playing well he was always one of the best AP mids in NA. He played really damn well at the world championships despite TSM losing.
Honestly, I don't think Xpecial should take up the AP mid role. He's a really strong AP mid and carry, but him and Chaox have such great synergy playing together I'm not convinced it's worth giving that up.
Reginald was one of the very first players I looked up to in this game, I remember the first time I played against him in a game and my friends and I screenshotted it and everything. Cheers to your retirement, and congrats on making yolomid into such a huge, wildly profitable thing.
I really don't think its going to be Chu (PS: I don't get why people call him chu8, ive always referred to him as just chu since the HoN days)
There's been rumor that oldschool HoN pros are going to make a comeback and I'm willing to bet Chu will be a part of that considering he was considered the best HoN player of his time
And even aside from that, I don't think Chu really synergizes with teams right now, he plays too casually

Last time I saw him streaming he was trying out as an AP mid for an NA team that I don't even remember the name for. I think Season 3 and the whole being on a salaried team was the incentive that might have pushed him to do that though.
I'll miss Reginald. He was one of my favorite players.
This brings back a lot of good memories. I remember making fun of this video and his COUNT TO 2 and Agressive Playstyle remarks. Crazy to see him and TSM become such a huge brand. I really hope he doesn't retire, he can be annoying but you still gotta love him.
And yeah Chu is definitely not a good replacement lol. I can't think of anyone that would be a better fit than Regi tbh. There might be better midlaners but I doubt anyone will be able to lead better than Regi.
Are Chaox/Xpecial the longest running bot lane duo at the moment? would be a shame to break it up, especially for someone like Nhatt who, as much as I love the guy, isn't the best.

You're not a shit player if Aphromoo duos with you haha. edit: Well I just thought of hafu lol, but I'm pretty sure aphro sees potential in Chu.

Chu does pretty decently imo.
He doesn't duo with Chu because he's good, he duos with Chu because he's famous. Sure he isn't the worst player in the world but TSM is the best team in NA. Any mid player who wants to go pro will play for them if they ask. It's all about finding the player for them and Chu is nowhere near that.
