He was just a drag on the team's potential-he was an exceptional player, yes, but his mechanical ability in comparison to people like jij, Froggen, or Jacky was subpar. | ||

Regi definitely made this up with the leadership he brought to the table for TSM. He carried them through so many tournaments. Despite not having the best mechanics, he still found ways to dominate. Honestly I'm not sure if this is the best news for TSM, competitively | ||

1) tsm will fall apart without their baylife father in the driver's seat 2) they will poach a top mid from another team (scarra, jiji, chauster, something) and fail anyway, destroying the other AP's old team in the process at worst(best?) you've got the demise of one NA team, at best(worst?), two of them will fall apart. NA scene WIDE OPEN especially with region-lock next season. also obligatory na na naaaaah nah, na na naaaaaaah nah.... | ||

I actually don't agree, I think they will pick up Salce, or some other young, strong and hungry player, and become really strong. Maybe even swapping roles around and picking up Aphromoo (if they can stand him..). | ||

This is wrong, he is definitely stronger than JiJi and he is pretty strong player. Hell look at the games vs Frost, he played pretty well. | ||

Wouldn't be surprised if they move Xpecial mid and pick up a new support (Nhat seems a likely choice) | ||

With Reginald retiring, my sources are saying that Xpecial will move to mid and tryout supports. #LeagueofLegends | ||

I don't agree with your last comment at all, Dyrus+Oddone have great synergy with each other, and the team in general seems really well together. It's not like Reginald is quitting the team, he'll just not PLAY. | ||

as much as i hate him, regi was the glue that held solomid together. he leaves, they burn, it's that simple Except Regi is retiring as a player he is not leaving TSM. He will stay as a manager and coach which should really benefit the team since they have no objective player to review their plays and see when someone makes a mistake. | ||

All i ever saw from regi was bad leadership, bad play, subpar mechanics and an inability to accept his own mistakes and constant raging at his team for them and other pointless shite. He was alot worse then any other mid player on the top teams, had a stinking attitude and was detrimental to his team. In my opinion. good luck to him. | ||

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.) | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

Ill be making a vlog shortly explaining the situation... I will only retire if we can find a more suitable AP mid player for our team. My decisions will only benefit SoloMid and TSM. If we cannot find a more suitable player than myself by the end of our offseason, then i'll be playing league for S3. I trust that far more than leaguepedia, leaguepedia's been somewhat unreliable today. | ||

They should really not respond to people calling him out on his bad information (DDoS lol). Leaguepedia has a stream embedded on their front page, why? Anyone know when they got acquired by Curse? | ||

With all those rumors of Regi playing 8 hours a day, and then handling solomid.net business for another 8, its no surprise he could not keep up with other AP mids off the world, but still. Sad day for this one lonely fanboy. :p | ||

Yes and she is cute if who it's been hinted to be. And on reddit possible hints that Jacky might be the replacement http://imgur.com/E9dHt Which yeah is a pretty scumbag move since Curse invited them to their house and Regi tries to steal their AP mid. | ||

Also, lets be serious. Regi does all of the initiating and makes pretty much all of the plays for TSM. They can't just pickup another decent AP mid and expect them to replace everything he does. I would be shocked if he actually retires - he will probably take a break for a few weeks and end up coming back for S3. TBH I don't really see that many roster changes coming. The NA scene doesn't have the same depth of talent as the EU/KR scenes so ti would be hard for TSM/DiG/CLG to actually replace anyone even if they wanted to. | ||

Other than pointing out any flaws in your game to improve, which is the whole point of a team, I can't think of anything. At most, elementz is the one who gets all the shit tossed at him, and that's mainly because of his attitude that has always caused him not to improve himself, or to do it too slowly in comparison to every other pro. =/ | ||
