I'm surprised theres no mention for Nisqy: he was a bright spot on NV in his stint in NA, as well as Splyce all of this year. Others could be Kold or Memento for either a consistent leader or an aggressive playmaker respectively (although I like the potential of Wiggily more).
kold is really good, i would put money on him being a part of deficios new team
I'd like to see Xerxe, or Maxlore. I know he stayed on misfits for this year but they hard underperformed he may look for a new team.
I would also be ok with Maxlore, he is a leader as well, since Aphro left we have been lacking that.
If we stick with some of our academy players the team will have more capital to invest in support staff. Those guys deserve a real shot. I want more competition for the roles, so hold open try-outs and threaten the bench, if needed. Developing players as people is always nice, but we can't keep missing playoffs. Missing Worlds is the icing on the cake, not getting that exposure.
Nobody is good on giants, kold is a solid jungler on UoL, all H2K players are trash, xerxe/kobbe are solid on SPY. Odo is washed, bio is better than kasing and there are better options than nisqy.
empty2k from g-rex :D
Just get rid of huhi man, I don't know how a bot managed to play as a starter for 3 years, so fucking weird
TIL bots can 1v9 Korean teams at words, win NALCS and get 2nd place at MSI.
You saying this tells me you actually believe he 1v9 at that worlds, saying that made the rest of your coment even funnier, MSI 2016 was such a lucky draw, SKT underperformed, FW also, RNG got cucked so hard on that tournament with the SKT semis, Jesus, still hurts to remmember
He did 1v9 that asol game you have to admit that. MSI you can say it was lucky and that skt underperformed but that doesn’t change the fact that clg still has to perform to get there.
He played well in that asol game, but he was complete dead weight at MSI. CLG the team played well no doubt, but Huhi individually was completely lacklustre that tournament (and for majority of his career) same with his first split on CLG where they actually won. That was off the back of Stixxay/Aphro/Xmithie more than anyone else.
40% of the total teams damage to champs, iirc?
Those damn bots man...
Hard agree
Kold/Memento for jungle. Odo or maaaaaaaaybe Ruin for top. Selfie mid. Sheriff/Kobbe ADC. Norskeren or Kasing support.
EDIT: Forgot Xerxe too.
Like many others, I'm on the Kold hype train. I find he was overshadowed by UoL's short comings, but I think we should also look at that organization as a whole and train and obtain some of their management - especially with Zikzlol gone - UoL had an incredible ability to develop talent, we need to scout that out.
Sheriff from H2K, Blanc from Roccat, and Odoamne or Kasing from Splyce would all be good choices imo
I don't watch EULCS, so I'd still go for LCK players like Teddy, maybe Hanwa life adc Sanwoon i think his name was and look at Griffen players.
Hanwa Life and Griffen are new mostly unproven teams that'd jump at the chance of coming to NA, without requiring major price ranges.
I really dont like the notion of using an import to replace Stixxay. While he is not the best adc in the world there are much bigger holes in our roster. Stixxay has at least one championship left in him. I would like to see the team rebuilt around him and bio and give them 2019 to prove it.
Language barrier. Korean talent doesn't always translate until a year or two in NA. Everyone wants a win now solution and I'm sorry to say Koreans are not a win now solution. Emp2ty from G-Rex could be a now solution as he speaks English fluently as he learned years ago. He is a Jungler and I think is a more immediate ready solution over Wiggly in that role. Moreso, he mentioned in an interview last week he always wanted to play in NA, he applied a few years ago but at the time only $teve replied.
Teddy and lava is the dream for clg.
Selfie from h2k and Odo from Splyce
I dunno. With Wiggly coming in I think we're set at jungle.
Selfie is a mid and Odo is a top.
True, but that didn't stop the rumor that Selfie was coming to CLG to replace Xmithie back in the day.
Hard agree, these seem like the obvious choices to make the most well rounded team possible.
Along with Maxlore and then use the rotation with Darshan, Wiggly, Huhi/Tuesday. It would actually make me really excited for the future of CLG
Sure, his contract expires but idk if he'll ever leave EU. Maybe money can make him come to NA but the possibility is low
Finally, we'll get Selfie as our jungler.
