I think the takeaway from the past year and a half or so of roster decisions is that CJ.LoL is not that good of an org.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but good. They weren't able to develop any talent that was retained aside from Coco. There's plenty of really good former CJ players playing on really good teams that they let go in favor of Space/Ambition/etc. The organization needs a total overhaul.


It's not like coaching staff made Flame and Swift leave or whatever.
If you're getting offered numbers those two were offered, you're accepting it.

It's not just them though they are obviously the 2 biggest that were let go. GBM, Lira, Emperor, Gunza and Baeme were only under their organization fairly recently and showed flashes. Hell Cpt Jack looked better than Space for good amounts of time after he left. We don't know if Swift/Flame would have even left if they were given the starting spots (yes I know they were offered huge deals in China but fair amounts of Koreans have stayed for less money in good orgs).


GBM was 2-tricks mid in CJ and neither him and BaeMe are close to CoCo plus CJ Entus has BDD to play in Summer if CoCo finally decides to leave to Chinese pastures.
Emperor and Daydream were getting beaten in Brazil, and hell, I'd say that Space had better Season 5 than Emperor. Ambition jungle is bad but not like Daydream could salvage it and Swift was already stolen by Hiro.
Gunza left for school, I think and Lira was in CJ Entus Frost for like a month if not less, before getting dumped by Swift and leaving to LSPL.

Making an assumption that CJ Entus had to take Piglet in 2013, keep inSec/dade and start Flame/inSec/dade/Piglet/Madlife team there is just surreal, players don't have same skills every year. Many guys who left the different teams became better, many became worse, but it's just how life works.

eh that cj staff firing is surprising. their recent results have been meh sure, but for long stretches of last season they were a very good team capable of pushing skt in a series. that cj was just the absolute max potential of that roster though. any improvement from that level would involve roster moves.

Who needs a decent shotcaller anyway, right NA?

I mean GV is selling their slot, so with no owners and 2 players missing jumping ship is probably a safer bet than waiting for the team to get bought and then waiting for the team to pick over the NA FA leftovers.

It's blowing my mind that no one contesting Bunny. He is the best shotcaller along with Hai in NA.

Well according to GV it was all of the team making decisions by the end of the split, but yeah it is surprising. Still, I think he'll definitely end up on a team by the start of the split.

when you take into consideration the import slot, I'd have taken Bunny over KasSing.

I'm not sure TSM could've gotten an english-speaking toplaner who was commesurately better than Hauntzer in the same way that kasing is better than Bunny. English-speaking toplaners are without exception inferior to top-tier Korean toplaners, and the very best english-speaking toplaners, like Huni (I think he has an okay english by now), are taken. Hauntzer is pretty close to the best english-speaking toplaner TSM could've realistically gotten, IMO.

I wonder if that has do something with CSGO. G2 got Dig star player. Seems better exchange for G2 if that was a case.

by "by the end of the split" I mean they were being interviewed during their win streak and that's what they said, not that they suddenly changed for playoffs or something.

To clarify, Bunny said he was the shotcaller for the first couple weeks/in scrims but the team said that during matches everyone kinda gets hyped and they all start talking/making calls a lot
