ixmike needs to go. He's a freaking burden on the team. Or at the very least he needs to get to 7k mmr, and increase his personal skill so that he doesn't feed like a maniac in every game vs decent teams. You can't hope to become a T1 team with a player who can't even reach 5.5k MMR.

The only exception to this I have seen in Bone7, but the dude has proven himself as a world class offlaner in many games and tournaments.

Wonder how likely they might get picked up by Navi if they win starladder. Navi said they want back into the NA scene.

Won't happen; Fluff is still salty from before and I can't see TL looking at this team and seeing a ton of potential. I love Fogged, USH, TC combo but mike offlane is still pretty bad (it looks better in NA games). Fluff will thrive in this situation until the expectations get higher (probably when NaVi come calling).

dont think fluff is salty from before
think he said there's nothing wrong what happened but he says he wants a team that will promote players better

I remember the interview you are talking about; he said he wasn't upset but either way I don't see him ever going back to work for TL again.

I think this is very unlikely to happen, especially considering how the atmosphere on Liquid ended up being after they started parting with their original players and started replacing them with individually better players.

They're probably pretty determined to stick together this time.

ixmike gets so much flak I feel obligated to cheer for him doing well in his games. Compared to his old games in offlane he's playing WAY better

I definitely cheer for Mike as well. I don't need all my favorite players to be perfect.

I mean they pretty much dismantled them, but root is literally just a bunch of pub scrubs. We'll see how they do against real teams soon.

I hope they do well. EG is pretty much the only threat in NA i feel.

Well right now in general there is a pretty big disparity between the top teams and the next level. C9 EG and secret are at another level when compared to everyone else.

If Fire could get to even a VP level that would be good. As it stands now though I'm not sure they can go even with the T2 euro teams. We'll see how they do at Starladder though.
