Even if laneswaps completely dissapear it won't matter much. DL Uzi Forgiven Imp (lesser extent) But these guys all play pretty oppressive laning phases. This is kinda dum at this point. EU has just been gutted. I've watched eulcs for years now but might as well swap to the better sat/sun schedule and watch the best eu players. Not blaming the players though. From sounds of the money is non existent in EU. So unless your some super streamer there is little point in staying. I don't see how EU just doesn't die at this point and become just origin. Possible way is to merge LCS maybe? I want to say like american east and west in sports but i don't know how that works. Like people watch both EU and NA but the later seems to be eating the former. | ||

There are literally 7 Europeans in NA LCS so far if you don't count RFLegendary. Bjergsen, Svenskeren, YellOwStaR, AlexIch, Kirei, SmittyJ and Incarnati0n. Unless all the talent from EUCS is going to leave to NA, I don't see a single reason to be worried or whatever. | ||

As long as that rumored Fnatic roster with Gilius isn't true, I've got a feeling they can still pull something together. Since I don't give a shit about regions, it's a lot more interesting for the implications. Will this make EU orgs offer more in the future? If/Probably when this blows up for most of these NA teams, will any EU/KR exports go back? Which of these new NA randos is actually committed and not just in it to fill old holes and make LCS cash? | ||

Like people watch both EU and NA but the later seems to be eating the former. If you're referring to stuff like conferences and divisions in US sports, that's something that arose from the fact that a lot of time was needed to travel all around the country between games. So the workaround was to tilt the schedule such that you play more games against teams closer to you, in general. Naturally, it's going to have its own pros and cons (you force the development of regional rivalries, but the unbalanced schedule leads to strength of schedule debates). Combining the two LCS... basically travel between Berlin and LA every so often? Either need to rent two places, or do a lot of hotel room renting. Dunno if the EU orgs want to do that. | ||

Froggen also very likely though. | ||

Fnatic sure will offer more, it's int the Yellowstar leaving announcement. | ||

I kind of assume Dexter+player x go with him. I've been wrong before though. Relatively certain Tabzz has no interest in coming to NA so not sure who they'd recruit. | ||

I mean I would hope they would increase investment after 60% of their roster leaves, but whether that lasts and what it'll mean across the season is a completely different thing. | ||

That aside, well then, things continue to get more interesting. I love sports offseasons. Perhaps NA picks only players that won't be very good in EU anymore. Anyway that's sad - Fnatic is seriously crippled, I don't see what could stop Origen. | ||

Piccaboo in China sounds ridiculously likely. I'll believe H2K hype when I see literally anything but vague rumors. | ||

DL just played the season of his life, Top Lane is self sustaining, jungler is easily more active than before, and now shotcalling support. It would take a colossal fuck up on TSM's part, or the new bought slots are even more crazy stacked. | ||
