If TSM was smart they'd pick me up.

Also, will get on league and start drinking at ~9ish! Anybody up for some normals/arams then possible ranked later? Yeahhhhhhhhh!

Get Zion and move him to jungle. (I think his contract is up.)

Move him back to top next year when Dyrus retires.

K I take back the good things I said about Sion. Basically he's Nautilus, in that if you are winning he's good, but if you're losing he's worthless. Never do enough damage to be relevant and so much of his kit is team dependent to maximize. He's fun as hell but it pisses me off being like 2-0-6 and crushing the game then we get to team fights and I can't do dick other than CC people. It's like he does half the damage of Zac.

I don't have a heart of fire so my perception is skewed but I don't think that coming in 5th-8th at Worlds and getting a 75k cash award is something to be all that ashamed of or a reason to change around the roster. I feel that way from the perspective of Amazing and Reginald both.
He was exploited a lot and the problem is how much of their strats are limited around his small champ pool. To be perfectly honest, I think it is a toss up between him and Dyrus on who would be the next to go if he wasn't already gone. Dyrus is always 1 bad play away from just breaking down it seems.

I just don't see anything wrong with a 5th-8th place showing at Worlds and a 75k cash award. You put in a season with Amazing, you made it past pools at Worlds, stick with it. There's nothing wrong enough that warrants taking the time to rebuild the team.

Would you rather practice more with the configuration that made it to the quarterfinals of the World Championships and took a game off of Samsung White or switch out two players and start over?

Switch out players and start over if it means I get further. I would not be happy with 5th-8th. I want to win worlds and sometimes you have to change the team around. Then again nobody knows the real reason he is leaving. Did he get kicked off, is it really mutual, did he much rather EU and wants to go back home? I haven't seen anything confirmed or denied either way so /shrug.

Read on reddit that Helios could be an option. Double checked the rules because I didn't think that would be possible, but they can indeed replace an exempt with another exempt. His history with loco and lustboy have to make him a lock, right? (his contract expires on the 20th - same day as "tryouts".)

TSM picks up Dexter from CLG and CLG gets Kakao from KT bullets.

Link + dlift/aphro + seraph + kakao = ggggggggggggg.

My dream!

That game 3 was pretty great. I wish every game was like that for the rest of worlds.

SHR is by far, the most entertaining team to watch. They make the most insane plays. A++.

Tell me all about how you want to win worlds.
So you rather keep average players or people who are performing sub-par on your team just because it "worked"? You would rather not try and upgrade and just be content without taking #1? That is basically what you are saying and it makes no sense. I am just going to assume you are trolling at this point.

Also @Sidian, fuck Dexter, that would be a downgrade.

Unless Regi has plans to just import a ready made team of Korean or Chinese pros and slap the TSM brand on them I don't see how a new roster is going to break the grip that Korea and China have on the game. We didn't even have a European team make it out of pools this year.

Would you have changed C9's roster in 2013 after coming in first in the North American LCS and making it to the quarterfinals of that year's World Championship in an attempt to win Worlds the year after?

China is going to be the dominant LoL scene pretty soon. With the highly likely move allowing only one team per brand to compete in OGN next year the Chinese are the only region that can import koreans/whoever at will because they aren't governed by KESPA or LCS rules.

I really do not think I can carry myself to Gold before the season ends. Any higher ranked guys up for a night of 3v3 Ranked to get me Gold?
