Anyone able to seriously explain why steve is paying lots of money to import a top laner from a mid tier EU team?

Alphari was the one bright spot Origen had this season, and if Impact is thinking about retiring he's a solid replacement who you might as well give the same paycheck to.

I don’t know what’s more disappointing/pathetic. The rumoured Astralis team or Guilhoto (and apparently Xerxe) going to CLG. Astralis just look so anaemic while NA is living up to the retirement region name.

i think he's definitely an upgrade on impact, the only consideration is he's using up their other import slot but its not like it was being well spent on broxah and there's probably not an available import jungler to use it on

Rumor is Jensen resigned for a 3 year $4.2million contract. Which if true that is insane.

My general question really is where the hell do they get that type of money from? It is just from investors that don't care about any return or what? It can't solely be from sponsors, merch and winnings.

Steve and Jack are both incredibly rich from their own business dealings. That's why they started the orgs in the first place, they're basically their toys and any money they make from them is just a bonus.

Like all sports teams owning one is basically a vanity item and Jensen being a good resident Mid is incredibly valuable.

I am going to say something controversial, which is that I do not think Damwon will 3-0 Suning. I think Suning will win a game.

Damwon will probably win, but the broadcasts have made me excited for the story of Suning. I could honestly see any result from 3-0 to 3-2 for either side. And I guess I don't trust the people who predicted G2 to win last year.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I went from nearly dead-last in Groups pick'ems to having every single result in knockouts correct, there's only two people in the top 5 who don't have DWG as the winners. One has Sunning, and one has TES (I picked DWG)

I wanna see this hit Game 5, and despite my pickem I'm still rooting for Sunning so one of my Flash Wolves boys can win a title and I can finally be vindicated after like 5 years of rooting for Flash Wolves.

Enjoy watching league but don't play at all. Saw tsm vs lmq at pax west quite a while ago as first intro to the sport and been enjoying worlds ever since. Lot of pressure for Suning hope they can play their hearts out and give a show.
