Then again after their run in with locodoco it probably isn't the best idea... | ||

As much as I'd love the idea of MakNooN on CLG (hue), it does seem very reminiscent of what's going in with SC2 and WCS, hahaha. | ||

Honestly InSec and Ssumday weren't even really improvements over Kakao and Ragan. Better individual skill, sure, but KT B had a winning formula that doesn't mesh as well with InSec and Ssumday's playstyles. | ||

One Korean moving to play on an NA team is nothing like the WCS fiasco imo. It would be more like the sending foreigners to Korea to play Starcraft in that they become somewhat of a novelty act. If they ever start sending full teams of Koreans to here well then that would fooking suck. | ||

Do you think it can change if one of them changes or are they both just not really meshing with KT B. I mean InSec looked better at all stars than he did in the season I feel. | ||

There is no way a Korean want to join a NA/EU team, you need communication skills to actually play LOL. Loco was difference. | ||

As for inSec, he is animalistic in his playstyle, but Kakao on his peak form has far superior map reading skills and counter-ganking timing and placement, so it's no surprise that KT Rolster B faltered slightly after both Ryu and Ssumday dropped in form. | ||

I also learned a lot. I never thought about how important it is to keep your cc for the long lanes vs mid lane or when to pick TP vs Ignite and how your starting items should mesh well with your summoners. It seems like all the NA Allstars learned a lot and I expect their respective teams to improve due to the knowledge they bring back. | ||

Poor guy choked in his first few games OGN and at MLG, was called weak link and trash. ( Remember he had to fill Reapered's shoes) Look where he's now... top3 world in his position. | ||

I hope he can learn to play a more supportive role on CLG because he seems like a very nice person who strives to get better. | ||

I hope he can learn to play a more supportive role on CLG because he seems like a very nice person who strives to get better. Yea that's what first came to mind for me too. When he was playing mid for C9 he was super greedy and not really team orientated. Top is even easier to fall into a lone island role and don't know if that works in this meta anymore. | ||

hotshot leaving is a very good thing for the team, him being a coach is even better because he is the owner/boss of the team so players HAVE to listen to him. also he has been playing at the top level of NA for his whole career. For a coach postition, I can't see anyone better suited for it than hotshot (only if he takes it seriously of course). Nien is a gamble, I think a team that is aiming for a good placing at worlds/LCS playoffs need a very hight caliber top lane. And looking at the free agent market they did not find one where they saw the potencial they are looking for: the potencial to become a world contending top laner. But amongst those free agents, so they went with some1 that doesn't play the lane but they think has the potencial to develop into a force to be reckoned with. Similar to what happened to doublelift, going from a blitz player to one of the best ad carrys worldwide. My fear with nien is he might not like top lane. this guy is godly on ad carrys and went back on the position after being mid on a team. chauster botlane: doublelift has this belief that he will get better only if chauster guide him and that him and chauster will be able to relive the goldendays of the invencible botlane. I am not sold yet, but the fact that doublelift will play with a support he trusts so much will be an improvement i think. At least he will not be able to put blame on his support and improve. (or internally think, well if this was chauster, this wouldn't have happened). jiji jungle: Now here's the biggest ???, and a ??? so big it can make or break CLG next season. Sending chauster botlane to pamper the needs of their superstar leaves the jungler role vacant. From there they can pick a free agent jungler, or a free agent from another position and make him swich. Now I don't know CLG or anything but the feel of the team i get from their streams or interviews is that they "rate" players they play against. "this guy's good, this guy's trash" things like that. to pick a new player for their roster, they need someone they respect as a player. and with how hight egos fly in this house, there are not alot of players that fill that category, especially in NA. So they go back to jiji, they seem to think jiji's problem was his laning but he had a very good instinct in teamfights... again i'm pretty sure no1 has a clue of how that one will go. I get the feel that jiji here is kind of a "fill the position move", they are not looking for a super star, only a player with good execution who will follow chauster's commands. Ultimatlyone should remember that in LCS the regular season doesn't have too much weight on the playoff's results. CLG is not looking to do well early, or even midway trought the season. They are aiming to breed their players and be an overall stronger team than what they are now when matchs actually matter (lcs playoff/worlds) | ||
