    https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/11/2020-academy-update-emerging-region-import-policy/

    Some Academy rule change news that could be important to the rosters. TL;DR: Academy teams can have a free 'emerging region import' meaning they can technically have two non-resident players on their team.

    Regions that count as 'Emerging region: Brazil, Turkey, Latin America, Oceania, Commonwealth of Independent States

    Promisq is a free agent, I suppose his reasoning was to spend a year on the bench training with the best EU team, and then look for something. He duos a lot with Patrik, but there are quite a few crappy supports in EU he could replace.

    Some big names are technically about to be free agents although I imagine most are going to re-sign with their teams.

    Thanks for this. Would have no idea about most of these otherwise.

    Really few changes though compared to other seasons. Becomes apparent that teams signed much longer contracts than in the past.

    Nice move by TK. Their coaching staff has perplexed me for a long time.

    I'm reading on reddit that TheShy is trying to get back to Korea.

    I can't stress enough how insane it is that Hirai is no longer a part of the Incredible Miracle brand. Truly the end of an era

    Youngbuck on his last year in Fnatic:

    Without going too deep into it, it was a year where I didn’t find a lot of fulfilment with my job and the players had some contradicting philosophies whether there should be more effort put into solo queue or team practice. It also caused a lot of issues – there were issues of players not wanting to play with each other. They’re going to make changes that are necessary to build a healthy team atmosphere, at least one that I align with, so that’s why I decided to move on.

    https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/youngbuck-excel-interview


    That means at least one more person will have to leave too. I'm kind of worried the gap between G2 and the second best team might get bigger than the gap between the second best team and the worst one. At least in spring.

    TheShy is signed till 2021 and everything I've heard about Chinese buy outs is that they're insane. Don't see it happening personally.

    Today's confirmed news:

    Cuzz, Rascal, Naehyun leave DRX (Formerly KingZone). Note that they were already entering free agency this just confirms that they will not sign with DRX.

    Today's rumours:

    Zoom (JD Top Laner), Tarzan and Chovy (Griffin jg/mid) to sign with RNG.

    Weird that RNG are getting rid of Karsa. Maybe Chovy and Tarzan are a package deal? Really pushing for a Worlds win in what is most likely to be Uzi's final pro year.

    If you’re a gm for an na team and your entire team is locked in but mid, no import slots left. Would you go for Goldenglue or Demonte or other (must be resident and a free agent)(also ignoring price)
    Carrilord has arrived.

    I'd go Damonte. I think he has more room to grow.

    Today's rumours:

    Not suprising that DRX is falling apart, hopefully they all get picked up by good teams, because the talent is there.

    Idk how I feel about RNG rumours. Zoom probably does want to be on a better team, JDG has been on an upswing this year but they are still not a solid top team, without him they'll probably drop fairly hard. As for Tarzan/Chovy to RNG, sounds good on paper, but I've come to the conclusion that the team is always going to be held back by their focus on Uzi. If they get rid of that, even Xiaohu and Karsa are good enough.

    Edit: So Deft has renewed his contract with DRX (thought he'd leave, contract ended today), along with CvMax this makes for an interesting starting lineup. Deft must've either been offered a load of money or the promise of a star supporting roster, probably both.

    Whole bunch of players leaving teams today. What sticks out to me are PoE off CLG, Meteos off IMT, Maple off Suning, and all but the bot lane out of Gen.G

    Also

    https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/tsm-is-reportedly-trading-smoothie-to-clg-for-biofrost

    both are good supports, Biodaddy back where he belongs

    Looks like Sven/Zeyzal to EG is finalized if this is true
