At very least his knowledge of laning mechanics should lead to a more dominant Reckless who will hopefully need to farm less and end up fighting more.

That and duoing with Reckless is something Krepo would do anyway since they're pretty good friends. But like I said, would be completely unsurprised if it was true.

Krepo is extremely overrated, but still he should be upgraded, since Nyph played like shit this season. Let see what self proclaimed top 3 EU support can show.
The most funny part is that Elements need to stick with Kevin since he canceled some trip to Africa, because of them.

It would be an extremely minor upgrade if at all in terms of play. If people think he would bring better leadership and shotcalling then idk. I don't know why Nyph is the shotcaller to begin with. All these star players just keep whining about their teammates being shit and they can't even step up to fill the role. They're literally looking for a support that can carry them through all their decision making. I don't think any team actually tries to force someone to do this without it just being a natural team dynamic.

*cough* TSM Gleeb *cough*
But yeah, Elements seems to have an overactive manager and a terrible recruiting staff.

Ye, thats doesn't make sense at all, especially since Nyph never were main shotcaller and was quite player that didn't talk much for his whole career. Also they realise just now that Froggen is shit shotcaller and they need new one? They could set up this before season, at least Nyph would have time to adjust. Now, they are just like: shit we're losing every game we need to change something, rather then acting proactive and trying to improve before season. It's fucking crazy to me that they didn't have any plan how to fix their problems after Worlds/IEM.

No idea why they went with Kevin, literally no one in EU from pro scene thinks he is good player. He also didn't play soloq at all this season and since for ever wasn't motivated (girlfriend).
His play style doesn't fit Elements at all even if he was at his peak. Kevin was always playing passive in laning phase and require a lot of ganks from jungler to be useful. His team fights was garbage and he farmed a lot in mid game (side lanes) and in EL there is no way that Froggen/Rekkles give him that, look at Wickd creeps score after Rekkles joined and compare it to one before.
Krepo is ok, because there is no one better available with experience that can step up their comms.

I have no doubts whatsoever that the duoq thing is very relevant for roster changes i this case. Was also in the past like that with Rekkles. Even if I had just seen that Krepo/Rekkles duo without the article I would have believed in a roster change.

I'm not sure some adc's nowadays are worth all the farm. I like keiths way of farming. He doesn't take that much but still has greater effects on the game then other heavy farm adc.

There is no universe to provide enough creeps for Zorozero, Froggen and Rekkles simultaneously.
Unless they're playing against Arrow and he just gifts creeps to them.

But ZoroZero is building Lemondogs v2 with Dexter and Tabzz so he can't play with Shook and Rekkles.

Can't wait to see what EL will do if this doesn't work out.
