Why would he have bought Gravity unless he knows something we don't? | ||

I think there's a good chance he would've, yeah. Maybe he feels he can gamble 1 million on something like this, and looking at the TiP roster, I think Echo Fox has fairly good odds of surviving the Spring Split. | ||

These are the teams and rosters as far as we can tell: C9: Balls, Rush, Jensen AKA Incarnation, Sneaky, Hai CLG: Darshan, Xmithie, Huhi, Stixxay, Aphromoo Echo Fox: kfo, Hard, Froggen, Keith, Babyeator/Xpecial (Allegedly) Immortals: Huni, Reignover, Pobelter, Wildturtle, Adrian NRG: Impact, Moon, GBM, Altec, Konkwon Renegades: RF Legendary, Crumbzz, Alex Ich, Freeze, Dreamcatcher AKA Remilia Dignitas: SmittyJ, Kirei, Shiphtur, Apollo, Kiwikid TiP: Feng, Procxin, Pirean, Dontmashme, Gate TL: ???, Iwilldominate, Fenix, Piglet, Smoothie TSM: Hauntzer, Svenskeren, Bjergsen, Doublelift, Yellowstar TSM, C9, CLG, Immortals and NRG look out of Echo Fox's reach. They might put up a fight with TL depending on who TL gets as their toplaner. TiP, Dignitas and Renegades look totally beatable. This alleged Echo Fox roster looks like a below-average team, but not a relegations team. EDIT: Thanks for pointing out Freeze instead of Jebus on Renegades. | ||

For whatever reason a lot of pros defending Baby's performance so maybe they know something I don't. | ||

Going to be pretty solid lesson for owners to not asking 3m for the LCS slot. Funniest part is that I was a Procxin fanboy during MKZ times, but holy shit, he was bad in Japan.

Even now, honestly, I'd say that if Vladimir main toplane pays off, Froggen with help of him and Hard can boost Keith and Baby to playoffs over TL/Dig. | ||

Games are so short nowadays, if this keeps up it'll be the worst nightmare of passive, lategame oriented mids like Froggen who just want to sit in lane and farm up until 50 minutes into the game. | ||

Froggen's pretty flexible in regard that playstyle if he has decent player on his team to back him up. The main reason he used to farm forever was that it was the easiest reason to carry the other guys on his team. Plus a lot of the games in the CLG.eu era they didn't actually farm forever. Then in Alliance he had a good Shook as jungler so he had proper backup and after that his team just went to shit. | ||

Let alone that in EG he almost was able to 1v9 the team into Worlds by playing likes of Ahri/TF, his real signature champions outside of Anivia throughout his career. This stereotypical "Froggen can only farm for 45 minutes before doing something, ermagerd" is getting pretty boring, considering that he never played like that since mid-2013, when Anivia/Lux finally were too hipster even for Froggen. | ||

Honestly if a player gets a reputation like that it takes a lot of work to make it go away. Hell people to this day say bjerg's best champion is zed when his control mages like ori/xerath have been a lot stronger since mid s4. | ||

TDK didn't confirm they weren't playing till like days before. or even less, I remember it being very late. and even then, they didn't confirm how long they were out till way later in the season. most people predicted Dig to be last as you can look back in the predictions thread. also not talking about just NALCS lots of EU teams imploded and giants were at the bottom of the predictions both splits. | ||

I wonder if there's any link between a player of each role and a manager changing their icons to one thing :> | ||
