So this is mostly based on this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1ro674/krepo_snoopeh_yellowpete_to_join_velocity_gaming/
I guess one could also discuss it there, but I dislike reddit for such purposes. And I guess there should also be enough interest in this here to warrant a seperate thread.
This was started by Atn_Olly, who is the coach of Team Alternate. So he is an insider, and one should be able to trust him.
He writes:
Krepo, Snoopeh & YellowPete to join Velocity Gaming!
They're currently talking plans on TeamSpeak!
I'd already heard this rumor a couple of times, but I suppose this confirms it. I guess that's officially the end of EG as we know it!
EG bought Velocity's LCS spot and this will probably become "Alliance" in the NA LCS (no organization can have two teams in the same LCS league)!
Edit: the team would also have Pobelter & Innox as 4th & 5th players.
Also, Dexter will probably join CLG (EG will be Shook, Wickd, Tabzz, Nyph & Froggen)
Apart from the source, there are also a few other things that make this believable. The last months there have been numerous rumours about roster changes in EG. The original "super team" with Froggen did not seem to happen anymore though with Jwaow, Freeze and Edward going to other teams (or rather staying with their old ones). Rumours about Froggen leaving EG continued to persist though. The old EG lineup also never started practising together, while other teams do in preparation for Battle of the Atlantic.
The last days, there have been scrims and ranked games with a team consisting of Froggen, Wickd, Krepo, Shook, Tabzz. In a few games Nyph replaced Krepo.
Snoopeh has indeed travelled to the US according to his Tweets, and Yellowpete is probably with him according to those. Krepo said he will probably travel to the US soon in a Belgian TV documentary.
Velocity released their old roster some time ago, and still didnt announce a new one. It looks indeed pretty strange with how few time is left to the promotion tournament, and their spot being bought doesnt seem unlikely at all.
One of the problems I have with this rumour is that I cant imagine Nyph to leave SK. He just created this new SK team. Instead I could imagine nRated joining the "Froggen team" much better.
Also if these 2 teams on the Velocity and EG spots would be created like Atn_Olly claims, I would rather think that the NA team becomes EG and the EU one becomes Alliance.
Very interesting is also that according to Olly Dexter will jon CLG. Would make sense imo. What is still a totally open question then is what happens with the LD spot. I have not heard anything about an additional team forming in EU, and I would also not know with which players.
Lastly I want to say that it is a totally retarded dick move by Atn_Olly to release insider information like this with a reddit post. If he wants attention so badly and release roster information, he should rather disclose the roster of his own team.

Ahhh so much transferring. I just want the rosters to be solidified already!
|
EU superteam incoming!!!
ohwait
|
yea I was convinced superteam was a done deal. I'll wait and see this time.
|
Supposing this is all true, I don't understand why this guy leaked it. As in there has to be specific circumstances for this to happen, and the idea that someone involved in the scene would randomly start leaking things without expecting certain negative consequences seems odd. I really have to wonder if this is some sort of move to build the hype for a move like this.
Then again, the LoL competitive scene hasn't really been the most professional environment at times.

Welp, Guitarasaurus just got one helluva raise.

zzz this is so risky, they'll move to NA and train for 1 1/2 months only to lose 1 bo3 to quantic.
Why not just invest a bit more money and buy the LD spot and get EG+Alliance in LCS EU.

Isn't this the reason? I was under the impression that EG and Alliance were the same parent company.

idk. They are both owned by Alex Garfield but technically they're still 2 different organsations. But I could see why Riot wouldn't allow it since everyone knows that EG=A.
Lol Guitar getting eloboosted by yellowpete.

Yes NA, you can have Snoopeh and Yolopete ! ^^
New EG line up looks sick. As for Nyph I don't see why he wouldnt leave, look at Bjergsen he also built a new team and then left, as long as there is big $$$ involved you can never be sure..

Lmao, these are exactly the two thoughts that came to my mind instantly.

Yeah but there are loopholes with stuff like EG/alliance, LPL only allows one team per organisation so royal club, world elite and iG got around it with LMQ, Positive Energy and young glory respectively.
It's probably a branding thing, they want alliance to be EG.EU and EG to be of NA so shift EG themselves to NA and move European EG to alliance.

So apparently our very own guitar (http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/19716706#profile) was duo-queuing with Krepo (http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/50289084#profile) and Snoopeh (http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/35809094#profile).
This is kinda surreal. :D

I thought the Promotion Tournament is in mid-december. Which would mean they have just 2 weeks. Seems incredibly risky indeed, given that Quantic is practising for months now and really getting good now.
