haha ohwow
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

I'm really excited to see Ninja perform in LCS. His playstyle may not have suited his time in the limelight in the WE organization, but I see a pretty bright future for him with TDK in NA LCS.

Emperor had a lot of issues meshing and performing in Brazil so I'm hoping those will be resolved with a move to TDK. It should be really interesting to see his communication with Smoothie since he's the only member of TDK who doesn't speak Korean.
The faster caster. @RAPiDCasting

emperor was a top5 adc in korea in season 4. He formed with Lustboy probably the best non-samsung bot lane back then. Nice to see him back in the spotlight. If he can get back to this level, he will be one of the very best adc in NA LCS.

Just like XWX, he might get better? Actually I'm not sure if XWX got better of if NA is just that bad. I didn't think Ninja was too bad though, he should be above average for NA mids.

XWX improved but barely. If XWX went back to China he still would've been a bottom half mid laner.

Remember Emperor will be playing with a support who lacks Korean DNA.

I am pleasantly surprised :D. Excited for this weekend of LPL~

Edit: Apparently Ninja's being loaned/rented to TDK only for the summer split?
