Also come on, HuHi is not a _good_ midlaner. Pobelter > Link > Huhi, that's what I think.

CLG makes the same mistake every split since I've started watching LoL tournaments.
I don't think Link was even bad outside a few games and I think swapping in Pobelter will be a downgrade. I'd like them to swap out Doublelift and try how they are from there. I don't think he's been any good all split post laning.

Not sold on Pobelter/Huhi rotation for mid-lane for CLG. Not to mention that there's opposite rumors that Huhi is heading to China too instead.
And with Pobelter, he's the LoL-equivalent of a AAAA MLB Player. Good enough to stomp AAA-ball (Challenger Series, etc.), but not nearly consistent nor outstanding enough to be a top-tier MLB player (LCS). I mean, he's not exactly garbage as he has at times shown to be able to hang in the LCS, but if he had anything that would put him over the top, he's had years to show it and nothing has really borne fruit. I feel like if he really did have the potential to be on the upper-echelon of LCS mids as the solo-queue hype says, it would have shown at this point.
Essentially, I feel that CLG pretty much sidegrades. There's not really that much of an improvement. Maybe their mid-laner won't be as much of a deer-in-the-headlights come pressure time, but eh.

That was a bullshit, since his 'sunset' photo on the plane was a fake ;-)

Link has failed to perform in the playoffs over and over, whereas Pobelter hasn't really been given the chance to play with a decent team. Maybe this is what he finally needs.

Ah, it was? Oh, so they have Huhi too then probably.
Hmm, still pretty eh about this. I feel at this point Pobelter is a known quantity, so I'm actually higher up on Huhi instead. Not really sure though, maybe it'll work out. I've been wrong many times before, but still...

That's all we want. Pobelter's highs aren't as high, and his lows aren't as low. If CLG is going to pick the bones of WFX they should've been more interested in picking up Altec. He's the real diamond in the rough on that team.

Got a sick leak for u guys !
Anyway, there will probably be no Trick2g in CLG, shame. Would be so much more luls.

Holy shit, this is the real deal

I hope Hotshot sold to Trick in order to become the new mid laner for CLG with all the time he has now.

On another note I'm pretty sure pobelter and huhi were probably the mids TDK were going after, will be interesting to see where that goes if the CLG 7-man roster is real

Can't comment on Huhi, haven't watched enough of his games but I feel like Pobelter is an overall downgrade. Will be interesting to see if this is 100% confirmed.

IM seem to have made some additions to their roster. They picked up Apple, Roar and IgNar (maybe others?)
Also, Fnatic lagged.

Pobelter and Link are basically the same person, only Link was good sometimes. Huhi might get better? What LPL team did he even get offers from?

The theory is World Elite since FireBatHero is the coach and he previously coached Huhi on bigfile miracle.

Don't get why they didn't go for that C9T guy. Sure he's new but Pobelter has outlived his hype by now.

Pobelter isn't any better of an LCS player than Link was. Both are hot/cold and neither are good mids on teams that need a dominant mid player.
I wonder if there's ever going to be an NA pro who will be offered to go to China. I can't even imagine who this would be, but I kind of want this to happen.

While they're not the best, dropping Mystic and Xiye for Huhi and Styz(?) just doesn't seem like the best move. I guess if he's close to the coach it might make sense though.

Yusui's passive aggressively indicated multiple time that he got shot down from trying for CLG because of his age and lack of experience.
I think CLG doesn't want anyone who would be balancing school and CLG which is actually a bit of a limiter as it turns out.

So, they will sart POB but they don't even bother reaching out to Alex Ich, the Great Russian Mercenary that kicked him out of his job in the NA LCS ? That's soooo CLG.
Btw I don't know if CLG Huhi is legit or if he's trolling.

Because Alex stated multiple times that he wants to play with his guys and girls. Especially, now when Jebus us going to join and they're 90% going to destroy Challlenger Series if they don't mess up during qualifiers.
Can't wait for people to find more excuses for Aphromoo in playoffs. It's about time, lomo.
