'Team Liquid has purchased contract rights to now-former Phoenix1 support Adrian "Adrian" Ma, who will most likely sit out the remainder of the Spring Split before competing for a spot on the Liquid lineup before the Summer Split, sources close to the player and teams told ESPN.' I think the writing is on the wall that Turtle is going to TL in the Summer with this move. TL will have 3/5 of the 2016 Immortals roster, a better mid in Piglet, and a passable top in Lourlo. | ||

Overall decent developments, although they feel a bit chaotic. It would be sad if TL relegates. | ||

I'm just saying, the move could look dumb if the mid season update makes tank supports bonkers | ||

He’s been a good friend of mine, and we will happily give him a fair try out for the summer split. The goal is to have the best possible roster at worlds and having Double as a potential 6th man would only help us with our endeavors at Worlds 2017 . It is good that he’s getting practice now, and hopefully it will not be a large shift for him when he comes back.” -Andy ‘Reginald’ Dinh I saw their plans, doesnt mean itll happen. We've seen all the attempts in na for multiman rosters. Only a few work out even close to the way it was planned. Just as how tl says theyre gonna have matt and adrian work together, in reality one will be the main guy and the other eventually let go. How early is the bigger question so that teams can pick the player up. I think its far more likely we see tl wildturtle if dl returns to tsm. | ||

This just feels like more desperation mode antics without much long term planning which ultimately may lead to the exact same result further down the line. Long term stuff is kinda irrelevant when you are facing relegation. They have to stop the boat from sinking right now. | ||

And that's before the fact that Liftlift could be quite rusty whereas most teams will have completely shaken off their rust by now. Another consideration: If TL fails to get out of relegation zone by the end of the split, will DL stick with the team through the promotion tournament? I imagine both Regi and DL will be eager to have him returning to TSM and getting back their groove as a team as soon as possible, but TL would also rather have him over Youngbin for this (conjectural) most critical series in the team's history. | ||
