I wonder where Kerp is going? Surely all these teams that needed a midlaner in EU didn't pass him up for Nukeduck and Ryu?


i could agree maybe on Ryu's recent form but take kerp over nukeduck?

not for me.

You guys dont even know if Kerp is playing anymore. At least I have seen him nowhere.

In pro League motivation and mindset is extremely important, not just your ability to make a great play once in a while. Which is also why for example signing Tabbz never was an issue.
Off-season = best season

This is the time where Ryu conquers Europe.


Idk, I find it hard to believe that Ryu can return to his former self after Faker destroyed him in that mirror Zed VS Zed matchup in summer 2013. Especially when you consider how stacked Europe is in terms of their mid laners' talent pool (PowerOfEvil, NukeDuck, Froggen, etc) and also his recent performance in Europe during the promotional tournament. Also his difficulty to communicate with the rest of his team due to language barriers. I can't help but feel that Ryu has been doing downhill after KT Rolster Bullets lost to SKT T1 in the summer 2013 final as well as the regional gauntlet later on.

But here's to hoping that he can indeed make a comeback and show his former prowess as we remember him from back in the KT Rolster Bullets prime days.

I really don't believe that Ryu will succeed which is pretty sad because he has shown massive skill in season 3. But that is almost two years ago and when he returned to jungle he looked really poor. He then goes on to look even worse with a return to the midlane in the Expansion tournament. Look pretty poor at IEM as well, in my eyes there's no hope for Ryu or H2k. I feel like there has to have been better opportunities on the solo queue ladder. One thing that Ryu does have going for him is his experience working in a team environment for a long time back in Korea, but with questionable English skill I feel like it will be hard for him to succeed in EU. Of course we can't blame Ryu for the demise of Millenium, that roster was pretty much doomed to fail, with last minute Korean ringers and a burnt out Creaton, plus a subpar support in JRee.

Do you really count PowerOfEvil to the best midlaners in Europe already?

He's gonna have a magnifying glass on him every single game and will get roasted for every mistake. I almost hope his English isn't great so he can't understand all the hate (baseless and justified) he gets. Hope he can turn his performance around and show why so many EU teams have turned to him.

You're right, it might be too soon to consider him among the ranks of best mid laners in europe. His performance against Bjergsen at IEM was pretty convincing though. Will reserve that opinion as the european lcs progresses.
