Any bets on how likely it is we're going to see Ryze this weekend? He's becoming more and more contested each day and we have some damn good Ryze players in LCS atm.

How about the return of that Olaf top? Remember the voyboy nerfs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see olaf top this weekend if renek gets banned out. His true damage would be a good counter to the next best shyvana.

I'm waiting to see that Sion top and that Thresh mid.

Welp ladies and gents, in an outstanding 3/5 sweeping victory, XDG is no longer in the LCS.
Welcome and congrats to LMQ. Can't wait to hear how they do the upcoming split.
(quiet root's for Coast to win against CLB)

Oh my god, the roster changes. Everything from NA, EU, and KR; everything is going to change next split.
My heart.

RIP TheOddOne. I know he wasn't playing his best but I will miss him

In a different light though, TSM and Dig look scarier now. I bet LMQ is thinking," What did we just join?"

It will be a very interesting next split with all these roster changes. It could be anyone's game.

i just like CarrySpartan and Shiphtur are staying in the LCS, albeit with team DIG.
RIP Coast.

I don't know much about GleeGlobGloopGlap but it seemed like Xpecial was one of the strongest members of TSM. I'd be interested to see how well his replacement does.

My thoughts exactly.
OddOne was a great player and personality but this split he just wasn't as good.. I watch a lot of EU LCS and Amazing is a great jungler and I think he might just fix TSMs early game problems
As for Xpecial.. Regi is drunk, I don't think anyone in NA can match up to Xpecial in the support role.. nobody that's available that is.. but i'm sure his attitude was good enough of a reason... I hope.
The Shiphtur and Zion transfer however.. I'm a secret dig fan and i cant wait to see them this split!

Things I've learned:
* Regi is fucking high.
* Curse is where pros go to die
* I feel like if TSM can't get first or second this split that Dyrus will leave

Well from what I've learned in the past, just because a person is superb in the role doesn't help win games; synergy is what defines how a team does well and if Turtle has great synergy with Gleeb rather than Xpecial, then I trust in Regi's decision.

Dyrus' poker face is so good not even he knows what he's thinking!
[MENTION=8038]Nion[/MENTION]; That's definitely true in theory. We get so little insight into a team's inner workings it's impossible to say what really happened with Xpecial. He seemed a little blindsided by the whole thing. Only time will tell if Regi's decision pays off (or costs them horribly).
Anyone following the LCS at all? - Haishiro - 2014-05-05
I certainly don't know what's going on behind the scenes at TSM, but I feel like there was a lot of poor decision making involved.
First, Xpecial seemed pretty surprised by it. Sure, somebody can be a Negative Nancy and somehow be totally oblivious to how they're hurting their teammates, but after Xpecial got benched, he realized he had a problem and resolved to work on it. Despite that, the "team" "unanimously" decided that Xpecial needed to be thrown to the wolves instead of trying to work it out (well I don't know if they had tried an intervention before already). I get that certain people have better chemistry than others, but good teams aren't formed just because they hit off great and are buddy-buddies. Sometimes, you just have to hash out your differences on the road to building great teamwork.
*This is all under the assumption that TSM didn't already bring up the issue with Xpecial repeatedly and officially try to work things out.
I've been getting the feeling that 99% of LCS teams are about recruiting superstars and throwing out sub-optimal players. (Okay, I guess that goes for a lot of sports too) Whatever happened to good ol' teamwork and pride?

Remember that the LCS players aren't all adults, and for some this might be their first foray into a mature life, and the responsibilities therein. Sure it was a shock, and they say it was for the better of the team to remove xpecial and get that gleebelblargu guy as their new support, but if not a good decision for the team, it will be an interesting development into the future of the e-sports scene and the "pro-players" reactions to it and how it will shape the future.

Regi has made great decisions in the past with benching players. Replaced TheRainMan and Chaox for the better of the team. I'm not sure about Gleeb, but Amazing will definitely be a great addition to the team. Dignitas can either be a great team or a bad team, it just depends on how well they adapt to making team plays and not solo plays. If CLG can get past the communication barrier, then Seprah will most likely be a good replacement for Nien. Xpecial will probably move to another team by the end of the summer split, I can see it now.
Anyone following the LCS at all? - TidusLoveYuna - 2014-05-06
dyrus is next on regi's hit list. he got chaox then xpecial soon dyrone
Anyone following the LCS at all? - byakugan - 2014-05-07
I'm happy Zion and Shiphtur are staying in the LCS, but I still feel Dignitas is a team with so many issues that these two might end up in the same position they were last split, bound because the rest of their team can't keep up with them / the opponents. What do you guys think of Imapqpie? Because I see nothing special about him, in fact I think he is next to Zuna in the LCS and everyone hated Zuna.
Does Seraph even speak english?
