This was from NME owners post last week right? Because the bigger point was that they couldn't release him because they didn't have endless supplies of money and would have to pay him and his replacement. Maybe the only example where I start to maybe side with an owner against a player.

Yeah, they said that even if they had paid a bunch of money for a new player late in the split, they still would have had to pay his remaining contract while he sat on the bench and just made the same amount of money doing nothing. They could have punished him, but they still would have needed a replacement which they couldn't afford.

obviously a little blame should rest on the NME guys for not writing a better contract. they should've considered keeping some leverage in case their moron players started loving off on stage

cruzerthebruzer is definitely a good choice for worst player. plus he looks like a potato

Avalon was the worst, he single-handedly relegated a team featuring Altec, Pobelter, and Helios as well as being so drat bad that Ignar refused to join the team

Helios is secondarily to blame for this since nepotism (relating to him) is the only Avalon got his job.

I'd hazard to say he's might be worse than Evaniskus.

Once again NA players just can't compare to a Korean.

Piglet might try and stay in Korea this season too, I'm sure he'll find a nice comfy home on Longzhu because they don't have enough former best players riding their bench yet.

e: yes YES the perfect bench. Flame, Chaser, Coco, Piglet, and Madlife.

I think I posted this before but Piglet has been duoing alot with Longzhu Pure. I love Piglet as a player and I think he is still very relevant/good. If a Korean team gives him a chance to prove himself he will do very well. His laning is very good for a Korean ADC if u pair him with an aggressive support they would be a very good botlane already. Fury has been improving but he hasn't looked as good as he did in Samsung. Also I bet Emperor will be dropped so Piglet can take his role as a new sub. It's Longzhu so who knows maybe they don't even remove Emperor and have the biggest roster in pro Lol.

What are the Vegas odds of TL getting relegated next year?

Matt is good, Fenix will occasionally carry games, and Lourlo is ok

but they have 2 gaping holes in 2 positions and will get punished for playing sloppy

They're pretty good at finding new players BUT they seem to be an awful environment for players. I don't think they'd be bad enough to get relegated but they really need to change up their staff

I'm not sure I'd call Matt "good" yet. He was good when he was laning with Piglet, but pretty poor with Fabbyyy. That's a pretty large delta that doesn't do him any favours imo

Fabbyyy was like a one-trick Draven player who was the gatekeeper to challenger for the longest time, I don't know if I could blame Matt for that. It'd be like bringing in Tyler1.

heres a short list of things liquid might be doing:

- planning to sell their spot so they're cutting costs by hiring a bunch of idiots while they wait
- in the midst of a total breakdown
- trying out local talent so they can figure out which three lucky idiots have a future playing protect-the-korean next year

Jerkface: May 21, 2001; HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I just learned last week that TL Matt is famous stream participator TSM Matlife

A lot of pros rate Lourlo pretty highly, I'd say he is probably TLs best player right now then? I don't know what TL management is doing though. Like Dardoch must have really been annoying the gently caress out of everyone for them to cut him less than a week before their matches. I guess him throwing their scrims prior to their playoff series was too much.

Edit: Rush is trying to play in LCK right? They should totally import Rush

# ? Aug 31, 2016 04:36

Libertine: Jun 21, 2004; When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.

Liquid should try to sign Rush and let him decide what Korean mid laner he wants to import to dunk on people in LCS with.

They should fire Locodoco because nobody even seems to listen to him anyway. Fenix is middling at best, Lourlo is alright, Matt is good, they could possibly tryout either Ohq or GBM if either of them are still willing to come back

im almost positive that fenix is going to retire since he wanted to anyways and they're getting a korean jungle/solo lane combo. they're keeping lourlo but they also have arcsecond and goldenglue so its mostly just a question of which role they get a better prospect for.

wouldn't be surprised to see lourlo on echo fox next year.

As much as I think Fenix is hit or miss, I'd rather have him over GBM anyday of the week and GBM is a jungler now anyway. If it was spring GBM I think he would be an upgrade over Fenix maybe. Fenix's main problem is that he never wards and is only effective in super late game teamfights on super strong teamfight champs like Viktor/Ori/Azir. His laning phase is decent but he isn't really going to solo kill u or punish u hard likeJensen/Bjergsen. He does farm really well but he also seems to prefer farming over invading/roaming etc...

I would wait until you see him on something other than Ashe, that's apparently his big thing and he only looked good on it once. He could be good but I have a suspicion this is KEITHMCBRIEF syndrome.

Piglet is a fantastic ADC who's been accused of attitude problems multiple times in the past, but then he gave Fabbbyyy his spot on the main roster to go smoke doobs in challenger so who the gently caress knows, he's probably grown up a lot since S3.
