Someone said that Piglet is staying in NA as a substitute until he cools down and gels with the team better instead of just getting up and going back to Korea. Makes enough sense I guess

I'll be interested to see Origen play. On paper they should be about an order of magnitude better than all these teams.

Wickd has fired up an AMA, some revealing answers:

On why he had said he had good news coming up:

quote:

The good news was basically the benching. I am quite happy with it because things weren't working out in the team and I really didn't like our passive play style at all. Now I can start practicing to become a play maker like I once was and it's already going really well in solo queue. Also in the back of my head I always thought "What if my team doesn't follow up and leaves me to die" whenever I was trying to make plays.

My relationship with Froggen have never really changed since CLG EU. We are team mates, can have fun together, but we were never best friends.
The match I had the most fun in was definitely CLG EU vs Moscow 5 at Dreamhack. We weren't supposed to be at the tournament due to us failing the qualifier. You guys helped us gather enough money to travel there so we could play the BYOC and get one of the last spots. We qualified and managed to win the tournament, but every single step was a tough battle and we would never have made it without you guys. That's why that one single game means so much to me.

On why Kev1n:

quote:

We weren't doing well as a team and everyone was getting moody. Bringing in a new player gives team a honeymoon phase where everything is great again. That gives the players a huge moral boost and everyone will perform better temporary. The long term difference between me and Kev1n is he is less aggressive and have less opinions. Whether that is good or not in this team I don't know and I don't think anybody does, but something had to change.

It's tooooooooooooooo hilarious if Wickd got benched for not being passive enough and not the other parts of his play.

There is a scarily large number of people on Reddit that are acting like Kev1n is a sidegrade or even a downgrade(!!!) to Wickd. I mean I didn't really expect the League community to be much better, but even so...

The teams play two games, one yesterday one today. The first day's games aren't broadcast. It's the same for NA CS.

E: Origen's first four picks are all flex picks. I love drafts like this.

Re: Wickd, the announcement, and his AMA I think there are always 3 sides to this kind of thing: What the team says is the reason, what the player thinks is the reason, and the real reason. You know like in most things in life. Maybe EL doesnt want to bury Wickd by pointing out his numerous flaws when they are parting amicably.

I love trolling the opposition with flex dpicks. If you're at the level where laning is the most important part of the game, having your opponents be unable to predict your lanes is actually really effective. I fondly remember picking udyr as a flex top/jungle pick in S2 and having our opponents pick incorrectly based on that.
