Well that’s sad. Feels the end of an era. But not one where C9 was the most dominant team by any means. I’d love to see Golden Glutes get the starting position.

They can now pick up a new mid for Academy as well, which is probably more valuable for them in the long run.

Also Jensen and Doublelift on the same team is gonna be hilarious.

Goldenglue as a starter over Jensen would be complete disaster

Hot take: C9 are better for losing Jensen. Especially after folding with the cowardly Lissandra 0-3 in semis

Who is available for C9 to pickup? Assuming it's not Goldenglue
Froggen. PoE. Technically Febiven I guess but he seems to hate NA. There are a bunch of LCK mids free right now but I highly doubt C9 would go for any of them.

If Froggen is still on form these days then that could work. Or Febiven, he desperately needs better teammates.

Does 100T still have Levi ? Because if yes they should probably pounce on POB. Assuming they still have Ssumday and a intact roster of course.

I can see C9 signing a hot young mid for Academy spring while Goldenglue is on the main team, then bringing the new mid up for summer.

I like now having Europe as a distinct league, and not just the superior LCS region people don't pay as much attention to.

Also confirmed the teams as being Fnatic, G2, Vitality, Misfits, Schalke, Splyce, SK Gaming, Origen, Rogue and Excel.

And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Contrary to popular belief, Faker will remain with SK Telecom T1 for the upcoming season.

On the 20th, through their official SNS, SK Telecom T1 announced that they have renewed their contract with Faker.

After announcing that Bang, Wolf, and 5 others have parted ways with them, SKT followed up with an announcement that Faker has renewed his contract.

There's a good bundle of talent floating around for them to snap up to make a new Faker superteam, at least. Pawn, Ucal, Deft, Mata, Teddy, Peanut, Rush (:shobon:), Ambition, and a few others I'm forgetting are all free agents at the moment, and the pool'll probably grow more in the next few days.

Teamfighting you could argue Froggen is better. But Froggen has never had pressure like Jensen can in lane. Ya champion pool has something to do with it but Jensen has better mechanics overall so even if Froggen plays those champions, Jensen's execution is much higher in terms of skill.

That being said Froggen definitely is still LCS caliber imo. Unfair to judge him on EF he was still very good there.

People noticed that Jensen's welcoming video, rather tellingly, did not include Olleh, and Steve said on Hotline League that he was actively looking for a Korean support to bring over, so chances are pretty good that Olleh's out of TL. That'd likely give them Impact, Jensen, Doublelift, a Korean support (IgNar is a likely contender, since he already has good English and experience with foreign teams), and then either staying the course with Xmithie or using their final free import slot to bring over an LCK jungler. I could see either Peanut (for his vast experience and calculated aggression) or Rush (for, much like IgNar, his English and foreign experience).

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.
Jensen will be a resident for Summer 2019 so having someone play on the Academy team for a while getting used to America isnt the worst thing

Origen are collecting players fast. So far they've signed Alphari, Sheriff and Nukeduck. Deficio letting his influence be known.

Ignar was their main target last year along with Olleh but Ignar chose LCK over NA. So I can see DL going for the guy he wanted initially.

I'm happy to see Sheriff getting another shot, he was pretty much H2K's main/only standout during that wet fart of a final season.

Quietly praying for them to sign Froggen so we can all enjoy the glory days of Elements once more.
