Isn't this a bit too early? 37 Days until TI and then the whole TI and only then a roster shuffle?
edit: reading fail on my part, it's not only a post-TI thread...

There've been a pretty good number of rumours surrounding LFY and EHOME since neither made it to TI8. Wonder what's going to happen there...

Probably also worth mentioning that there's definitely going to be some machinations when it comes to team ownership given the new rules for next year's DPC season.

Also it is past the qualifiers ... some decisions are already made for teams based on missing to qualify.

Think meracle could have waited for better offers. He just needs that 1 breakthrough

Qupe left LOTV, (Waga's team). He is been one of, if not the, most impressive player in that roster since adamsson left earlier to join singularity. Interested to see if he moves into one of the more established teams next. He is a pos 4 player as well, not something the scene is full of when you go away from the bigger orgs that form the tier 1 and 2 competetition.

The team was one or two series away from qualifying to the Supermajor but besides that they've been a somewhat steady presence in the EU tier 3ish scene, making to some EU main qualifiers through open quals and even an invite to one or two I think.

If the ex-Kinguin guys keep playing at a decent level I'd guess they get picked up pretty quickly.

I was kind of hoping The Final Tribe would all stick together. I like Pablo too, watching him play with some people during FPL after TI7 was great.

Wonder what PPD plans on doing now if he's out of Optic. Any chance he could join EG as a coach, or do we think he likes playing too much to bother with that sort of task?
