sometimes I think I enjoy off season roster season as much as the actually seasons lol. It does suck having nothing to watch for months though. More international competition when
Definitely the case in seasons when there's a lot of movement, like when franchising in. With teams cycling out NA is going to be a wild ride in the offseason.

Stupid import signing announcement #1.

To be fair, its a two year deal and he'll be a resident in 2021. Still ridiculous, but slightly less so

Yeah, but even so, Huni isn't worth 1.15m/season of competitive value.

Don't get it either, does he really have that many fans? Like everyone who watches League since his days in Fnatic know who he is, and I considered him popular when he was good, but these days nobody considers him world class, and I haven't seen much of him besides World's. Does he have a KR following still?

Yep, the reason he's getting that much is because of branding.

Upset leaving SO4, looks like the team is being gutted unless they are actually going to spend big. Some people on reddit are speculating on Upset going to OG, though personally I think Patrik is just as good.
Also seen rumors that Rekkles is leaving Fnatic, which would be surprising, but lowkey hoping for it because I want to see the rest of the team without him for once. Pre season rumor mill is so much fun!

That's still a ridiculous amount to pay for a player though. He's good, but you could definitely find another top laner as well who would be equal in skill for a fraction the price.
I find it hard to believe that ROI on Huni would be worth anywhere close to that value. Anything short of winning worlds in the next 2 years(esp. considering NA didn't even make it out of groups) probably wouldn't do it.

Who were they bidding against that was willing to also pay huni 1m/year that’s my question

I could get behind this, theyre both good enough for Fnatic, and young enough to mould. But it would be funny if Nemesis managed to somehow get crownshot.

Huni is one of the more popular players in the league. Sponsors care about that. The whole reason TSM lost the Gillette sponsorship this year was because Bjergsen grew a beard.

Could you though, like which better toplaner would want to go to an NA team at the moment? I haven't seen too much NA / Clutch at worlds, but I guess he made worlds with the team so he can't be worse than any of the other NA toplaners?

Tusin leaves DragonX. Not too surprising considering their drama was almost as bad as GRF, but still sad to see that the Deft/Tusin duo is probably done. People hinting at IMT Tusin, would suck to see such a talented support retire.
