AHAHA
Going into split where Fox and Steeelback are your only threats.

My goodness, if UoL dodges relegations, Hylissang is truly EU Mata or something.
Won't lie, I was 100% sure that Fox will follow Innerflame in Dignitas, but probably something didn't work out.

Is Hyllisang confirmed to still be on UoL?
I really don't have faith in this new roster.

Could be worse. Imagine this team will be a fringe playoff team if that's who the run going into the next split.

No way Odee kicks his boy Shiphtur. I think this roster isn't that bad, UoL doesn't have money to throw around.

This team can be playoffs only if half of the league is going to be worse than NA LCS Spring 2013.

Who is even supposed to carry UoL, considering that Steeelback doesn't play RNG based champions and only things Fox could hurt last year were Orianna mains feelings.

Oh right, he can always use the SPECIAL DELIVERY.

I mean, the bottom half is Gambit, G2, Follow, Elements and Giants. With all the big-name free agents going to NA or better EU teams, I don't think it's inconceivable for UOL to do alright and for the bottom 4 of EU to be garbage rosters with only 1/2 notable players per team.

If you have no money?
Kirei, Tabzz or Crazycaps and, uuuuh. Okay, Fox, you can stay. But only if Kerp and exileh don't wanna play or still study.

On less serious note, CLG is lurking for player development coach.

At least, this time you don't need to have 3 educations, be fluent in Korean and expect to get paid well.

Yea, Gambit/FE is looking like completely dead meat right now, gotta wait to judge Elements and GIANTS for now.
G2 on the other hand, honestly, I think if they just take Tabzz, Crazycaps or throw solid money at Freeze, they should be just fine. Not breaking to Worlds, but solid mid-tier. With Jesse it will be way too hard to achieve.

Well I think G2 actually has loads of room for growth; SmittyJ, Perkz and Hybrid are already skilled players with a shitton of space to grow and UoL memes aside I think Kikis can be the veteran leadership the team needs. As for the rest bar FE; depends on what they pick up I suppose. I think Pepi and G0dfred's shotcalling can be the core of a good team if there are the players to execute it.

So idk; UoL might be playoffs. It's a solid enough roster I think Gilius, Fox and Steelback are good players. Not great players but good enough for playoffs.

UOL's new line up is boring but perfectly serviceable for 'lets try to stay in the LCS without chucking money at our players". Definitely lost a lot of their charm though.

The problem is Hai forced himself into retirement due to wrist issues and then forced himself out as his team was in flames. There is a ticking clock on Hai and if C9 can't find something suitable in his place the clock ticks for C9 as well.


I've always been skeptical of how severe his wrist issues are and from this past season and how C9/Hai is adamant in him playing this season as well, I'm quite positive the wrist issues were exaggerated. Retiring due to wrist issues sounds more graceful than retiring due to poor play. I mean not saying he doesn't have wrist issues, but seems definitely manageable and something he just has to take care of and he'll be gucci.


His interviews and comments post return make it sounds like he was more tired of the lifestyle than anything else. Maybe C9 have promised to change the way they function to help better suit his idea. It makes sense to me. Sitting around playing/doing League for 10+ hours a day isn't what I would call a functioning lifestyle. If they could make their practice more efficient while leaving room to have a life outside of league it may have persuaded him to stay.

RIP, Adrian. Never forget:



Wonder if TSM approached him at all or if they were completely set on an import support.

The bottom half of EU is looking more clear than ever.

I imagine TSM were choosing between top import/moe adrian and hauntzer or zion/import support. I guess when Kasing knocks on the door you don't say no. Surprised then that Immortals didn't go for him; gonna be honest as the season progresses the less interested I am in Immortals. Especially after NRG what could they produce that's really interesting.

The way it is currently, with Kasing being an IEM tryout, it seems to me like the situation would be Kasing is the preferred support with Adrian being there if that falls through.

But yea, he just let memes flow through him.
Agent is probably just new analyst for Immortals or whatever.



Pobelter/WT-Altec/Adrian, add to it double imports top/jungle and Immortals might make me interested.
