I think turtle's a decent possibility based on the signs pointing towards Apollo to Dignitas and Altec going on a team with Adrian (Which by deduction would likely be Immortals). It's like after those three it's Keithmcbrief, LOD, Stixxay or Otter. Not the worst choices to be fair but I think wildturtle is best you're going to get if not Altec unless they make a bold move for Stixxay's POTENTIAL

Altec is basically Keithmcbrief tier version of doublelift. If you want that, go for it. WildTurtle is going to be more flexible, plus he is just individually better. Turtle is the smarter pick if the team wants to actually go far in playoffs. Altec might be better if you just want to stay in the LCS and you don't have much talent to work with.

Everything about NRG has made me happy. They brought in a full and experienced coaching staff, got 2 great imports, and are using up and coming NA talent. Future teams trying to make it into LCS are going to have to try and emulate this model.

Pretty cool of GBM offering to help pay for housing while in Korea.

Kinda wish Gerard Kelly didn't share his name with a Scottish actor so it'd be easier to look up his history...
At any rate, this way he has an in with some wealthy businessmen. Connections!

so wait, you can buy a spot then just put anyone you want in the team? seems weird.

I'm a bit skeptical. Why would RGN announce their roster and then confirm their ADC with The Score?

Why is it weird that you can replace players from a roster when their contracts had expired. The 3/5 rule is what's weird.

it's really weird that they chose to announce like 6 hours before they could confirm Altec, I mean, it probly means nothing but it's weird.

It's now facebook official

He has spent his career held back. He has been the center of multiple rosters, rosters unable to match his pace

Mfw NRG just called gravity and winterfox ELO hell, not that I'm disagreeing.

Regardless if you think if the rule makes sense or not, it is very surprising that NRG are apparently able to ignore it. Even Nick Allen did not think this was possible:

Off-season = best season

I guess that the technicality here is that the LCS spot specifically was sold here. Coast as an organization wasn't sold. So whatever contracts that existed between Coast and its players were not inherited as part of the sale.
And this way, you are technically not a Challenger Series team that won their way in. You're this new team that bought this place in the LCS from a Challenger Series team that pried the spot in question from the cold, dead hands of Enemy eSports.

Oh, Coast of all orgs should know damn well this sort of thing has to be put down in writing. Won't do that without impacting the sale price though!

I'm guessing they will try to pay a fine and that's it? or pay ex-coast to play for 1week, whatever is cheaper
