so many of these are so random
thought the TL smeb thing was a fking joke but now that I'm hearing EF Looper and Pob support anything is possible really
is it really that hard for pob to find a mid lane position in NA?
also if the money is the issue dunno why EFX is fine with paying more than other offers for a pob support lol

I guess everyone thinks midlane is the most optimal slot for imports. You can build a team around a star midlaner but you can't do that around a star support. At least not from scratch.

You can build a team around a star midlaner but you can't do that around a star support. At least not from scratch. The game has consistently been in a mid focused meta for years. Mid is allowed to be a heavy impact position at all times and allowed to impact the entire map.

I understand that logic but the problem is I don't see the consistency in these NA rosters.
I see a 'star' midlaner in maybe 3/10 of the teams.

There is talk that EchoFox may have picked up Looper for Top, Santorin for Jungle, and Pobelter for Support?
Pob for support is weird as hell to me. I'd ditch Froggen for Pob, then get another support personally. I think Forggen needs to carry way harder for the greedy low impact game he plays, and usually he doesn't. Hence why he always "wins lane" but both his other lanes get shit stomped.

Froggen is reaching Legacy, keeping the name for the brand status levels of mediocrity.

Seems bizarre; you have one of the best non-import midlaners and you move him to support? TL probably needs a midlaner of pob's quality ... assuming he has moved on from hating Steve.

Pob is obv most comfortable as Mid but if he's willing to move to Support, that indicates to me either EF is pitching him the best offer he's getting for 2017 and/or he feels comfortable with the players/staff. After what Steve did to Pobelter on Curse, I highly doubt he's over it. If anything, it's pretty schadenfreude that TL could use a quality Mid and Pob gets to say no. lul

Froggen is reaching Legacy, keeping the name for the brand status levels of mediocrity. Froggen is basically in the same category for me as Flame. Players touted as exceptional except the only thing they end up getting is some nice personal stats postgame but fail to convert those nice KDA/CS into Ws.

pob did mention in that leak video that he had 2 other offers that seemed like lowballs
my guess is TL / whatever c9c is now
TL cause they most likely need an NA mid laner if they have piglet or smeb or whatever import C9C cause hai's gone
other teams already have a mid/haven't shown any indication of replacing

Jesus kt, this roster sounds spicy.
Smeb / Score / Pawn / Deft / Mata seems to be reddit consensus
|
I guess they finally want that juicy title they've been yearning for
|
If mata goes to kt, I'm insta fanboy.

2017: KR comes home? I eagerly await the return of the Telecom Wars.
|
I mean, if I get that roster and still get to keep Score, I'll be pretty happy... but, Ssumday. =[
Supposedly Score told Pawn to not use honorifics when talking to him, something he only does with teammates.
|
lol so the rumored kt roster is looking more and more likely
apparently skt peanut is also very likely
the telecom wars lol

Also some inven red post claimed wolf/bang told chinese teams theyd only go to china for 17mil won (little less than 1.7mil usd )lol
Edit: febi to h2k hmmm
|
Ryu had to receive a better offer, I don't believe H2K would kick him to get Febiven
|
Kakao to Misfits, according to reddit.
