TSM is way too good an organization to willing leave.


That depends if Bjergsen wants money or wants to win Worlds. He might go back to Europe and join a top team there for a better chance if TSM doesn't shape up.

That's...not how it works at all. His contract expires at the end of 2018 so unless there's a major falling out between him and TSM they have no reason to let him go.

I am pretty sure contract can be bought out by another organization if Bjergsen really wants to leave.

If there is a buyout clause sure. Not all contracts have a buyout clause though. Some buyouts also have to be a mutual decision between player/organization.

Pretty sure if there is a buyout clause and the opposing team/player wants out, player can pay for it and tsm cannot stop him. Though usually buyouts are absurdly high though, wouldn't doubt if bjersen's buyout was more than 100k+.

Except if the team wants to do it they need to talk to the player about it, which requires going through TSM to avoid Riot's poaching rules. Doubt buyouts are low enough for a player to void their own contract.

Bjergsen leaving TSM lol. He will nowhere earn even half the amount as on TSM with streaming included. And you have no guarantees that your next team will actually perform better.
Also I dont get why people always talk as if TSM is going down. They are still second in NA even with the problems they have.

Great move by TSM I think. Hard to say if Keith will work out but you need to at least put pressure on Turtle. I'd do the same for top lane though I'm not as down on Dyrus as some are.

If Turtle outperforms Keith in practice and starts playing better on stage, great. If not, you bring in Keith.

In any case I believe TSM wants to keep at least 2 NA players to not lose popularity/brand value.

If they get Keith they might even gain popularity which makes this a very reasonable move.

Dyrus' play has gotten a lot better recently, no need to.

I don't think keith is the solution to TSM performing at worlds but I guess this is a good step in lighting a fire under turtle's ass and potentially getting a slight upgrade if keith out performs him.

Well it shouldnt be hard to outperform this guy.

I tell you that Renegades going to buy Turtle when Keith takes his spot.

Well, my heart is sad but my fantasy team will probably thank Regi. I'm sure my fantasy points were one of the main deciding factors in this huge, organization changing decision.

I wonder if this will actually turn into anything for Keith, or if he will just be used perpetually by teams to "motivate" their ADCs. I hope the best for everyone involved. I'm a big fan of both players, so hopefully everything works out well for everyone (even though from the outside it seems awkward as all hell right now).

When will people learn that game performance doesn't matter when it comes to fantasy performance?

How can they replace Dyrus because unless they getting a korean top laner I don't think there is a good replace to him atm. Maybe Zorozero is Zoro decides to come back to competitive play but that's it.

I agree. His trading and 1v1 aggression still needs work. But damn that TP timing, flanking, and general map awareness has been at the top of NA by far. His Gnar rage bar control has been something I credited him for since week 2.
