Just looked it up in LCS rules, not really a misconception. They only need to keep those 3 players for the first game though. Which still means they need to give them a contract and all. A Challenger Series team that wins its match must play at least 3 members of the active roster that earned the spot in the LCS in the first game of the split. from https://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/lolesports/Rule Sets/2015_LCS_Rule_Set_2.01.pdf, point 3.2 | ||

I thought they might've changed it in S5 but I checked 2014 ruleset and it's also there, so guess I either missed that or mistaken with some other 3/5 rule. It often gets misquoted as returning LCS teams can't change 3+ players at once. | ||

There are maybe 4 NA players in jungle/ADC/supp that bottom teams could bring up and it wouldn't be awful for them. So in that sense, as long as you use your import slots for the solos, it shouldn't be THAT bad if import slots are used effectively (no more Avalons or importing ADCs when that's like the role with the most depth in NA). I think there's more depth in adc and jungle than you make it out to be in NA. Every single other role is just nothing though. Maybe there's a couple mids but nobody that'll get you to Worlds (LOOKING AT YOU GATE). Random useless speculation, LOD duoing with Crumbzz a fair amount and I think he'd be a very good fit on RNG. Kid deserves an LCS shot. I think he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for and if he stops himself from thinking he tilts after any small mistake he can be a pretty cerebral player. | ||

After Ich uprooted his entire family to continue his career in NA, the only place he could keep his family around, I doubt they're going to drop him until he proves he can't cut in LCS. | ||

Can't be bothered to watch through the VOD to 100% confirm it but here's the link to the comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3pakte/shrimp_to_tsm_leaked_on_saintvicious_stream/cw4nk1h | ||

C9 announces tryouts for jungle or support depending on which role Hai chooses. Interestingly enough OCE is listed a region that's eligible. | ||

Imo C9 can not be a top team as long as they keep someone on the team just for shotcalling who is subpar otherwise. | ||

They must be really desperate for Hai's shotcalling since he is not that proficient on both roles and also doesnt seem that motivated to play anymore.

They did reach worlds and did ok for the group they were in. | ||

I think all NA fans should be saddened by this move. By keeping Balls who hasn't played well for a year and keeping Hai (with potentially MORE roleswaps), I think C9 is aiming merely for mediocrity.

Yes, I know C9 had a chance to advance out of group stage in its current roster; but C9 massively overperformed in first week and lost their chance against a very bad IG and a questionable AHQ twice on the second week. Overall, the current C9 roster is a huge downgrade from 2013-2014. | ||
