The reinover contract is so annoying it’s to big to unload but he’s a good fit for several other teams in the league.
Carrilord has arrived.

Wasn't part of the reason for P1 being awful at the end of the split because Ryu randomly stopped giving a fuck? Doesn't it seem weird to anyone else that he's now not only still playing this split, but picked up for a different team?

Also I can't believe EF let Akaadian go

Perhaps EF just continues to not give a fuck, it's clearly a working strategy for that team.

I thought Akaadian was good/above average, so yes, I'm also surprised EF let him go. I think he was comparable to MikeYeung in all honesty.

Could just be his contract was over and somebody made a better offer.

I think majority of contracts are up yesterday. I actually haven't read any examples of players still under contract past 11/20. Like even Bjergsen resigned as of yesterday. That said, I'd hope EF tried to match OpTic's offer cause I think Akaadian was the second best player on EF, after Froggen.

No, Bjergsen's contract last year went through 2018. He signed a multi year deal and there was probably an option to opt out.

The article says in contract was only up next year. Honestly have no idea what EF is doing or has been doing for past 2 years. I think they like being awful. Only explanation if they still lose this off season.

Imo not bad but also not spectacular. Hopefully they will be able play with the necessary aggression and not become vitality v2..

The way the reports shape up TSM probably ends up as Hauntzer, MikeYeung, Bjergsen, Mythy, Zven.

And TL: Impact, Reignover/Dardoch, Pobelter, Dlift, Aphromoo(?).

Basing the Aphromoo rumor only on Dlift tweeting poster from a Rush Hour movie. And that he is free agent and NA.

If I was a TSM fan, I prob would've preferred Xmithie but this doesn't seem bad either. I def have more faith in a Bot duo that has played multiple splits together vs a fresh rookie. Maybe Mike will continue to impress and actually meet the hype around him.

What surprises me a bit that it is mainly the old orgs that go after the expensive players while the new kids will have to take the table scraps. I thought some of the new teams might be the ones throwing around money.

Idk I always thought the hype around mike was a meme about how he’s rookie of the split by default.

If you don’t have an import slot for jungle you should have been trying to outbid for xmithie or moon, probably even Akaadian before mike Yeung

Xmithie might have been a case of IMT saying "if you want him, you have to take some other players too." to try and unload their contracts as easily as possible. I doubt TSM wanted to do that and then have to pass off players to other teams.

Everybody has money. Nobody is without serious backing except(as far as public knowledge) TSM. I could see players going to the more establish teams as a way to build their brand. Teams like TSM and C9 give you a great chance to get to Worlds, never missing it for as long as their orgs have existed, and all TL does is revive the 4th meme, it's a lot better than a lot of players will accomplish.

Impact, Doublelift etc are not building a brand at TL. Well not their own brand of course, they help TL imrove theirs though.
