Wow. Been a CLG fan since shortly after DL rejoined (and actually around the time I got into League). I think I'm ready to cheer for a different team. Unless you're a big Hotshot fan for some reason, there's actually no 'CLG' left to cheer for. While I wouldn't mind seeing Zion or Aphro on TSM, I doubt that it was only CLG management that wanted to see DL go so who knows what the working relationship would be like. DL's not known for being the easiest person to work with. There are rumors of Zion trying out for the TSM top lane position but it makes more sense for them to go for a more proven top laner and pick up an NA support to avoid communication issues (though I'm not on board with Adrian).

As a CLG fan my dream situation is that Aphro goes to C9 and Zion joins TSM so hotshot literally has no team and is forced to sell his LCS spot and leave the scene forever. gently caress that guy.

Considering DL and bjerg were the only ones who actually showed up at Worlds for CLG and TSM, respectively, I think this is a step in the right direction for his career. I don't think Aphro would be terrible on TSM, but in so many years, he's only managed to show up for playoffs once. It might actually be better for DL if he has a fresh start with a new support.

I like in the vid when double lift is living in garbage because it reminded me of the actual TSM legend, the "strong fighter and top lane innovator" who was well known as the best streamer around, the guy who was like qtpie but in shape and with better taste in music and regular teeth instead of racist Chinese cartoon teeth, you know I'm talking about the actual play maker whom faker stole his nickname from... I'm talking The Rain Man baby.

This is really the best part it. One of the most polarizing players in the history of the region swapping from one of the oldest rival teams to the other (with both teams being the most notorious at stirring up poo poo with each other) in a really dramatic fashion.

This is a perfect analogy IMO. Hats off. Doublelift throwing the CLG jersey in the trash was like Damon shaving the beard.

So CLG having a lot of money seem like a front runner to sign Freeze, but they're also a poorly run team of Herbs so you have to figure they'll just run Stixxay out there. If CLG doesn't sign Freeze the best fit is Renegades which would be great but do you think he'd be okay with signing with a totally unknown team?

Maybe he loves quaaludes and will hang out with crumbzzzzzzz

At first I wondered why there's only Bjergsen in the video, but then I realized that he's the only player to actually survive Worlds. Is Loco still there?

I always liked WT and I'm sad to see him leave, but his play has been supreme poo poo lately. I also like DL and I'm happy to see him leave CLG, because now I can laugh at them with no restraint. Sorry Aphro

That Loulex rumour is hilarious, he seems to be the worst part of a mediocre team (not that TSM isn't a mediocre team) and they could get loving Azingy or something and be better off. He has at least a pocket Zac for S6, when Riot somehow decides to nerf every competetive jungler besides Gragas (you know its going to happen). I mean, sure, Spirit or Kakao or any jungler of middling competence is out of TSMs league, but Loulex? Prove me wrong TSM, because right now it looks like the NA LCS will be a toxic wasteland of shittyness next season

Also, I don't understand any of your transfer comparisions to sports nobody cares about, so I'll say Luis Figo to Real Madrid. Hopefully including parts of dead animals.

I think Gravity can make a pretty good run against any of the behemoths, and depending on who C9 take I think they'd work well.

I mean c9 can still bring in rush and have Hai on support, with support being a bit of a wasteland at the moment. I have no idea who TSM will bring in, but they have the best support structure out of the teams in general, so I think they'll find themselves in a good spot no matter what.

Edit: also, it should be noted that DL is thought to have said via blog or something that the team was told something at the start of week 2 of worlds, which threw them all off their game. And Reddit, being masters of hindsight, also caught that in a mic check or something, DL stated (before the Pain game) "For my last game with you guys..."

Best guesses is that DL was informed by the coaching staff before that week, that he was going to be cut next season, which threw the entire team out the window. Thus the coach screwed up letting that knowledge out, and the team didn't make it past groups.

The simplest answer is that HotShot wanted to play Huhi in week two of worlds, the coach and DL vehemently disagreed or outright refused, and here we are today.

For a team owner looking to leave open import slots on his team, Doublelift is a wet dream come true. Aside from Sneaky, no other ADC in the NA LCS even came close to his performance this past split. Regi is one of my least favorite people in the scene, but I can't deny that he is very talented at maintaining his brand and a consistently top team in his region. Maybe you could give him some tips though.
