to be fair they did try new blood last time. Has anyone out of Legion done anything impressive? I guess Laute and pr0lly are dominating challenger scrubs after coming in last in LCS Demunlul is probably a better ADC than Cop, but they won't start him over Cop. Although this is based mostly on Season 2 performances, but I think he's still pretty solid. Sadly yeah: Demunlul is perty good, but he just hasn't gotten the exposure or high end competitive play experience yet. But tbh, there are alot of great NA ADCs that aren't seeing LCS play. Robert has a chance since TBD are in for the Challenger Promos (his team missed out last time because he got amnesia), but TBD looks shaky. Meanwhile, NA competitive's top lanes, jungle, and mid lanes could use an upgrade, but there's generally been a pretty narrow pool of candidates, compared to the great pool of bot lane talent. Or TBD fails and Vulcun XD.GG finally realizes starting Robert is their destiny. I mean, they pulled a CLG and swapped Zuna and Xmithie's roles. To understate it, that doesn't sound like it's going to work out well, given just how much Xmithie's improved as a jungler (and how core that was in allowing ex-Vulcun to achieve their success [ex. enabling mancloud to do what he does mid]). It just sounds, ugh.

My Zuna hate-on may be coloring my judgement, though. Now that Regi AND saint are gone from the scene, I need a team to cheer against.

That isn't 100% accurate I don't think, Xmithe was always a jungler, the ADC for CLG Black was Hoodstomp

tbh I doubt he'll get rewards if he qualified for challenger after midnight. For that to work someone would have to get kicked out of challenger and not get the rewards AFTER midnight, which was the deadline for getting the rewards, which would make no sense.

And a 2-2 record against a team that only has 3 losses during the season is pretty good.
I don't think I implied that Xmithie played ADC (I don't think). Both of them are in new roles.

Xmithe has been a jungler since early s2

I can't even load these streams gg ;; What's happening again, is that my ISP? Or Twitch? Damn.
Friend did his placements right before the end of the season. Went in Dr. Mundo's Brigade. ... I'm so jealous, stuck in Yorick's Arrows Q_Q

Xmithe has been a jungler since early s2 ...I know. What I'm saying is that his jungling since he entered LCS has improved significantly, and is a core part to why ex-Vulcun did so well S3.
I'm not saying that he wasn't a jungler. wat where did you get that
There's been some leaked discussion about a month ago of Vulcun thinking of swapping Zuna and Xmithie. I am wrong, in that Zuna was previously a jungler, but nonetheless it's a bad move.
I thought it was official when it wasn't, however.

"both of them are in new roles"
oh they switched for s4, WTF, you are right that is a terrible idea, I thought you meant s3 since Zuna had been the jungler for CLG Black.

mmrs are really screwed up right now in ranked oO

On November 12 2013 08:38 Slusher wrote: "both of them are in new roles" Xmithie has not been ADC before (if the swap happens). Zuna was a jungler previously, however, but hasn't been since he joined the team (back in late S2/very early S3), when he initially came on as a top lane, to switch to ADC after Aphro joined CLG.

Alex was challenger for 90% of the season, until World Finals where he couldn't play for 1month and decayed into Diamond, he's been trying to grind back the last couple of days/week. that's why everyone is complaining to Riot. Doesn't matter if they're challenger all season people can just abuse the camp promo series and get in last week and have the immunity. I think about 25 people on both NA/EU did it that way ( which is fine since Riot is the one fucking up here)
Funny thing is in Alex' case it doesn't even matter that much because he has challenger rewards from ranked 5s already and I'm sure he will comfort himself withh all the €€€ & $$$ he made from todays 15h streaming session to 25-40k people.

I like all the interesting post about Cruzer, but tbh we tried out a bunch of players and no one was as consistent or communicative as him, hell we gave people who we thought had "potential" (in lack of better words) 2nd and 3rd chances to prove themselves. Im a little surprised the announcement went out this early though
