Yeah it is me. It'd be easier if whoever admins this site figured out that I was falsely banned, so that I could just use my real account, but I guess this works.

I don't know. It seems like getting a great roster is a lot of luck with how players interact with eachother as a team. Part of that is what kind of coaching does a team have to help develop the team itself, which is what I am particularly interested in seeing for TSM in this next season.
Even the Doublelift move seems questionable, teams in the past have made seemingly hype moves that backfired completely and made them worse than when they had a perceived "weaker" player. Is Doublelift going to demand resources away from Bjergsen and end up hurting his performance? Is CLG's botlane laning strength more to do with Aphro than Double? Or a unique product of them playing together? This stuff is why I hate speculating on how strong or weak rosters will be before actually seeing them play.
I have faith in Regi and his ability to consistently keep TSM a top team, so I'm not worried about them at least domestically. I also think CLG is not as fucked as people think they are without Double, especially if they get Turtle and are able to keep Zion and Aphro.

edit- @ above, at least if double fans say he takes all team resources cause his mid is trash they won't have a leg to stand on lol. Time to see if the problem was CLG org or if it really was double all along lol

TSM adrian would be the best move for TSM I think. He's good and that frees up an import slot for your jg/top laner, where NA is weakest talentwise

How the times has changed... Because this move is 3 years later than it was supposed to happen. Even 2 years, 1 year ago people would've understood. But not now when CLG is self-destructing after winning championship and TSM just completed biggest heist in Western League of Legends, after losing in MSG. I don't even know where CLG goes from here. Right now they have Zion/Xmithie/Huhi/?????/Aphro Like unless they get Freeze/Forgiven that is an absolutely dire team. Zion is reportedly in TSM's final 2 to become their top. With all the money it feels like is being thrown around, good luck replacing him if he leaves. There's also the rumor that Aphro might retire. With rumors of TSM adrian I'd be very surprised if Zion won the spot, not using an import slot seems like a mistake, especially if the player you're getting instead is Zion Not using the import spot would be a mistake only if you're not getting the few good NA players (not saying I include Zion in that group). In theory the NA players are more worthwhile because every team has to have 3 of them so by taking a couple of those significantly weakens other teams. Edit: Though using the import spots is 100% worth it if you want NA to be as competitive as possible.
Agree with everything you say, but doesn't apply re Zion because you could get a way betteri mport top. Also sabotaging other NA teams doesn't really matter if you're TSM and your individual strength (assuming they fill up rest of roster with semicompetent players) and org strength means you'll make it through NA anyway, then it doesn't matter at all in international competition where TSM supposedly (and I believe them) are really focusing their goals.

Wonder if CLG's fans will throw a pig's head at him the next time he plays against them

I'm not 100% sure about the whole "taking resources away" thing, as we've seen the Korean teams figure out how to make sure that the carries on the team (once the top lane carries started to become a thing) get enough gold to be effective.
Usually this means that the top, mid, and ADC get 1 lane's worth of farm, get side camps from jungler (which turns the jungler into little more than a second ward bot) and farm enemy jungle when they push waves in.
The theory behind getting two strong players is fine, you just have to make sure that they are playing AS A TEAM and doing what is best FOR THE TEAM. To me, that's always been DL's biggest issue: letting someone else carry a game (if not a whole series). Part of that is attitude, but part of that has to be beaten into his head from the coaching staff, and TSM's coaching and support structure does not instill a bunch of confidence in me.

I'm sorry Hotshot but just putting this tweet out is in poor taste. Either do it or don't but don't put that out on social media it looks unprofessional as fuck.

Fuck, does this mean I have to be a TSM fan now? I'll give it some time and wait for the teams' rosters to solidify, but without Liftlift, my CLG flair is in peril.

Didn't DL say he was kicked in the video?

Surely no other roster change during off season can top this, right?

idk I mean this is big in the sense that it felt unlikely, but with all the money rumored in NA next season I think the biggest pick up will be an asian.

DID NOT THINK THIS DAY WOULD EVER HAPPEN. HOLY HELL Doublelift like the CLG face man D:
|
So strange. Doublelift had numerous seasons where CLG dragged him down and he had tons of opportunities to leave when it made more sense. Then he has success with them, finally, and then he leaves the team(that is getting rid of all their best players despite winning NA).
It's as if CLG / doublelift consider bombing at worlds a failure instead of the expected outcome.

what the fuck, did not expect to wake up to this news.
