I mean Royal Club did invest in the west with LomoQ so it wouldn't be the first time China got involved with LCS but I'm not sure why EHOME would decide to re-enter LoL like this.

The only reason I could think is that EHOME would get bodied by the billionaire's sons running around in the LPL and decided to go westward.

Dont really care which organisation, but would suck if Froggen and Dexter were still in the same team next season. So this is kinda anti-hype for me.

edit.
but tbh I think it is too early to already make teams for next season

Dexter wasn't the problem in Elements. He actually performed pretty well, but he had at least 2 losing lanes every game. He'd often equalise 1 but it was rarely enough. That's before you even start on their shotcalling problems.

Just a promo show-off for Lenovo, not really exciting...

Misaya stated on stream that World Elite is signing a rookie soloQ jungler, apparently one that is rated highly among high elo players and referred to as "best Lee Sin CN"

Could be World Elite holding onto new talent like they did with TheShy or maybe World Elite is preparing for an eventual Spirit departure.

I'd like to see a new WE composed of as much up and coming talent as they can grab. Partly because I also want Spirit to be on a team worthy of him.

Peter just tweeted that he's leaving TL, that probably deserves it's own thread though.

Peter shouldn't have been the head coach. None of the problems were fixed or even seemingly addressed. That doesn't mean he's the only problem.

as a fan of Team Liquid, I hope Peter isn't the coach next split.

He might be a good assistant coach or a good analyst. IDK. I think a reasonable case can be made against him being either (as P/B was pretty bad overall and the main issues never got addressed). That said, it's hard to not look at a team like CLG which upgraded their weak points (top and mid iirc) and found a way to work things out with a new analyst for summer (IIRC they brought a new one in after spring split) while maintaining their new coach.

From a spectator's standpoint, it's hard to classify the exact problems because it's tough to judge the issues that exist behind the curtain. Maybe there are issues with Xspecial, Dom or Quas. IDK; that's not something that we can necessarily decipher. But it's at least worth a shot trying to pickup Seraph and seeing if he can be moved into a position that filling and/or competition

they need to get to the bottom of the leadership/communication disconnect.

CLG changed head coaches but maintained the same analyst (Zikz) from spring.

and I'm not sure where Seraph comes from and how thats the answer lol

I think Seraph is one of the grandfathered foreign players, so in theory TL could pick him up if they wanted to. But Seraph's on a Challenger team right now, and I don't think TL wants to replace Quas for Seraph (as Seraph is/was a top laner last I saw).

The fact that he's grandfathered in as NA 'native' while being solid IMO could help if he could sustain a roleswap or replace Quas. I'm guessing with his longer time in US equates to stronger mastery of communication in English which may help. Historically, role swaps (especially to jungle) haven't worked out. But it is in the least worth exploring as an option.

I never thought, that fans of TL will ask for Seraph.

That's real desperation, if I saw one, lol.
