Doran banned for his first game this season for trolling a soloQ game. Game in question is over a month old, pretty random considering that other players got a pass for worse at Worlds.

I hope Forg1ven brings some drama to EU again, it's fun to follow.

FW disbanding is not surprising seeing how Riot seems to be dropping support for minor regions in Asia.

G2 with the big brain drafting, I think they just want to scare teams with the possibility of an ADC in the mid lane, or having to adjust to two G2 styles based on who's mid and ADC.

I think it is just Perkz and Caps doing what they feel like and finding some whatever justifications for it.

I think it's more, last year it really felt like G2 strongly believes in running ambigous drafts where the opponent doesn't know which lane a champ is going (such as Pyke top/mid/support). Other teams, like iG with Jayce, also seemed to value flex picks as a valid drafting strategy, since it doesn't require much thinking for your team but puts the enemy into a precarious spot where a counter draft suddenly isn't laning against what they expected. Same story with Qiyana and Akali, flex picks have been around for years but last season some teams prioritized it.

Mata retires, maybe he will enter coaching?

I think losing Flash Wolves and MEGA is a huge blow to the new LMS+SEA combined league before it even begins. Also yea I think its more Perkz and Caps fucking around because EU is too easy for them

Xiye to DMO, didn't see that coming

Mata to RNG as head coach.

Kahn joins FPX, still has GimGoon.

Flame rejoins Damwon.

Ah yeah, Mata coaching RNG, I'm happy with that, he complements Ming nicely, both had strong laning phases but Mata was best known for vision control and shotcalling, so hopefully he can iron out the Uzi-focused macro RNG always seems to slip into when struggling.

Khan to FPX isn't that big of an upgrade imo, Gimgoon was already solid and could keep up with the likes of Zoom/TheShy. Weird to see two strong top laners rotating or even having one warm the bench.

Really curious how the LPL rosters will look like this season, I think the deadline is today? I think Vici is minted (what CN isn't lol), so iBoy and Kkoma shouldn't give up hope right now, the known lineup looks like more of a rookie team with high potential.

Current big FA players to look out for:
- Flandre
- Jackey
- Zoom
- Rookie (If iG lose him or TheShy the roster is done for, but unlikely I think)
- TheShy
- Knight

Doubt most will leave their org, but there is always a chance.
