I think YS has to go after this split. His mechanics aren't particularly good, and for whatever reason (whether it is Bjerg or not), his shot calling isn't making up for it.

Agree, can probably realistically get rid one 1.

I do wonder if YS has a beefier contract than Svenskeren and if that would make it harder.

TSM went after Rush in the offseason but he didn't like TSM's playstyle (how he knew their playstyle considering they were literally only bringing back one player and an entirely new coaching staff, I'll never know). Plus Rush has been in NA long enough that he doesn't count as an import anymore. He wouldn't take up a slot. TSM is in a rough spot. They would be stupid to let Bjerg go because of his raw skill, but it's pretty clear that he's hard to play with. He's a loud voice that doesn't bring much in terms of shotcalling. But he's such a good player overall that you just kinda have to deal with it.

ETA: I don't know the specifics of YS's contract, but he did say that Fnatic actually offered him more than TSM did. So it may not be as big as we think.

Regi just needs to tell Bjerg that his responsibility is to destroy his lane and not to shot call.

If indeed Bjerg's voice is the issue.

The most recent interviews have all had him saying he is happy to still be playing, but that corporate job at C9 has got to start calling at some point.

C9 still needs to get Bunny (or some other shot-caller) sorted and decide what to do in top lane. They have two imports, so that isn't an option. If Hauntzer leaves C9, that would be a big opportunity. Quas may have sorted out some of his issues too? Not sure what other big talent is out there, may be someone coming up through solo queue. Still having ADC, Mid, and Jungle locked in is a good position. Support is kinda locked in too.

Looking for a toplaner would mean something happened with Balls, but I think Balls has quietly been improving. Having a real jungler has helped Balls and Jensen the most, maybe Balls even more than Jensen. Jensen has always been a god, just needed confidence and experience, the talent has always been there. When the time comes to find a toplaner, I think several good toplaners will be available, also the import slots shouldn't be used up by the time they need to find one. But as a C9 fan, I'm really happy with the direction of the team. The impending Hai retirement is scary though. It's going to happen. When? Who knows. Me being greedy wants Hai to last until Worlds. I just don't think that'll be the case unfortunately.

I believe Quas was suspended from TL, not let go. His contract is still through this season, and only being suspended was probably so no one could sign him should he come back, at least not for free. Would have to trade to get Quas and it would prob take a lot considering Lourlo is so damn bad for TL currently.



Anywho, SKT sweeps Jin Air this morning, Faker with a 10-1-4 Azir game.

I don't play Xin ever, but I'd imagine his lifesteal is a bitch to trade with.

That and your silence as Garen doesn't help against auto attack champions.

ETA: Teemo is only an annoying matchup during the initial parts of the laning phase. Once you get a Cowl or Merc Treads, you should be able to hold your own.

If you can get a gank early, it'll only be a mild annoyance until you eventually can just bum rush him, don't blow your Q until after he blows his, and kill him.


ETA2: Now that I'm thinking about it, if his lifesteal is that significant, it hurts your ult, as it does a percentage of missing HP as bonus damage (I believe)
