the new ROX lineup? yea i read about it awhile ago

top: Save
jungle: DanDy
mid: Rookie
adc: imp

edit: the actual only rumor i've heard sounds like wishful thinking which is that they're going to sign Rush, i wonder if they're going to have any real players at all

it was a shitpost, imp and rookie are staying in china.

Vitality always has the best players but the worst roster. But hey GBM knows how to steal baron without smite already maybe he'll become the new prince of thieves

I meant Coco would be better than Cool because he speaks Korean and him/swift played together in previous teams.

This roster would be so good but I don't know how they could afford all those players. Imp/Rookie are probably staying in China but the other 3 is possible since they don't have teams.

They can't because squid is shitposting. The only rumored roster was a couple rookies and challenger players because they didn't get a big sponsor

Was watching the EU open qualifiers for challenger and man there was a really fun game between ESG/Fnatic Academy so many throws. 2 baron steals, Kikis bought like every item in the game imaginable and then sold it. It all ended with a Varus backdooring. Really sloopy game it was 70mins but it was a fun watch. Some good young talented eu players like Niqsy/Magifelix/Broxah in this game. Wickd streamed it so it should be in his vods. Really fun match and good young eu players if you follow euw scene.

probably not. the scenario where he is good is one where ig decide they don't want a good player playing for them and also don't want the money from selling his contract. does not strike me as very likely.

Feb 17, 2011



Imo he looked much better than MagiFelix. First 2 games ended up being massive throws at baron by Fnatic Academy and 3rd game was probably one of the worst drafts I've seen. Shen/Jinx/Azir probably the worst early game ever so he didn't get to do much. Both mids have good potential imo. Magifelix was pretty good in EU CS last year but kinda dissapointing on Orianna today other than very few good ults. It's fun to watch challenger EU mids most of them have good laning/mechanics.

What a weird rear end roster.

Mickey is super good, tabbz is fine, i have no opinion on the others tbh.

e: the question is at what point in the season do they sub mickey out

Chris de Sperg
Aug 14, 2009


it's probably luck more than intent (they were on the table for origen a long time before there was any whisper of them getting mickey) but honestly that roster could actually work out because satorius and tabzz are the perfect auxillary pieces to mickey. satorius is not the most mechanically-gifted player but can at least create some pressure 1v1/2v2/3v3 from top, and more importantly is INCREDIBLY vocal (i don't remember if he was a primary shotcaller on epsilon but he does talk about as much as one). tabzz should not really be playing in lcs, but if you want a hyper-passive adc whose lane is never going to die 2v2 and probably not 2v3, hello it's tabzz.

they're going to be very one-dimensional, but i could see origen getting as high as 5th/6th with this roster even though i loving hate most of the parts (bar mickey) from the perspective of individual talent. could also collapse entirely if mickey ends up being gbm 2.0 but i have to have faith in the work ethic of anyone who's willing to import to origen because the org is loving broke.

He was brought on to play Azir because Kuro was garbage on it. Also Cry played a lot in Kespa Cup he looked decent but he was playing mid.

Btw this is all the LPL rosters. http://lol.qq.com/match/match_news_detail.shtml?nid=5746
Kelsey Moser said its only for first week so it may change.

IG's not showing JackeyLove but Marge who is garbage.

EDG looks really weak imo unless Cry was somehow a hidden adc god. IG if they play JackyLove should be good on top of that Draven is getting huge buffs 7.1 patch.

Newbee and QG interest me in that they have both combined a lot of old and new players I've thought would be good but I don't know if the end result will actually be any good.

Vici is obviously my favorite team going into the start of the LPL season. Easyhoon and Bengi together again.

Good news xpecial, you're going to be on a great team with good players. There's one guy who isn't that good but everyone else is. Anyways your job on the team will be to interact exclusively with the bad player and wipe his butt.
