I agree, and I love WildTurtle. I think if he is having motivation problems or mentality issues, then that is a problem for TSM, but I know that WildTurtle is capable of much better performance than he has been displaying lately.

this might be accurate but Turtle is a problem in his current state that much is for sure

It's not like Keith is better than even current WT or they're bringing Keith to legit become starter.

Not like anyone cares anyway, because it's pretty obvious that TSM will get Forg1ven or Freeze before next split starts due to new rules.

Pls TSM you're supposed to let wildturtle flounder a bit more so you can bring in freeze when CW get relegated.

Not sure if that is possible with the resident rules. But in any case I believe TSM wants to keep at least 2 NA players to not lose popularity/brand value.

edit:
If they get Keith they might even gain popularity whih makes this a very reasonable move.

Pretty sure Bjergsen becomes a NA "resident" next year, so TSM would be able to pick up another import if they wanted to.

Apparently Richard Lewis said in one of the DailyDot shows that Emperor and Ninja likely aren't going to make it back to NA. Not sure which show or if there is a VOD, but Reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3ari7q/emperor_and_ninja_likely_to_never_play_for_tdk/

this is unfortunate, a friend of mine who wanted to attend summer school in NYC was also screwed over by the error in the US Visa system. Hurts TDK that it happened and they will get autorelegated.

So the Korean secondary league is on and tusin is playing support for IM's secondary team.

Apparently lilac has been spamming jungle recently and lilac hasn't been playing for the secondary team so yeah make of these facts what you will.

You can see clearly that lilac stopped playing top and switched to jungle on his soloQ account recently.

Well at least if they failed to make LCS last split they could have tried again for Spring. But if they get autorelegated they have to try or Summer 2016. That's a long ass time and will probably doom the team.

On the plus side at least they get salary fo this whole split even if not winning a single game.

Not surprised at all. After so many weeks pretty sure everyone is bracing for this outcome.

Found this account, there's a lot of random EDG accounts but I can't imagine someone impersonating Xenics support road. Given that ADG got their shit rekt in LSPL new Koreans for ADG?

Sucks, looking at their roster I obviously didn't think they'd be a top NA team but I definitely thought they would be a half decent LCS squad, a lot stronger on paper than T8/NME.

given that htey have riot employment invites i don't see why they'd have problems.

looking at the comments in that thread this might be due to an IT problem with the u.s. visa system, which happens. have some clients with same issues recently, won't be a permanent thing.
