Hey, NA guys! Just letting you know that YellOwStaR comes to NA as well!

Hopefully this worlds West>East?

What that means for EU is that it seems that OG will be the only strong team next split, unless something miraculous happens. The other teams have so much to catch up on. Hopefully if they put enough work we might get 3 good teams next worlds, but I doubt it. Even OG will be weak in the, due to lack of proper competition. The only real training that they will get is IEM Katowice in March, but I don't think that will be enough...

BTW - Huni and Reignover left FNC, in case you don't know. They are going to NA as well, and Huni will be ADC there.

RIP EU :(

Everyone goes to NA for better salaries - it's kind of sad. EU organizations should really start to put some more money in the esports.

Stay safe!

daniellizard out! :P

well wow...that´s a huge hit to fnatic. though they did a lot more than expected this season, so i´m ready to get surprised again. though with TSM now being a mainly european team playerwise...it´s kinda sad to see that NA teams still prefer buying players abroads instead of trying to improve their own structures to find NA-players that can compete on the very top of professional lol. That´s the reason EU is for the most part ahead and will most likly still be ahead even with all the leavers...as they can find new players within their own scene that are talented enough to play on the pinacle.

EU is far from RIP

Origin is looking strong if they keep the roster they had at MSI. I think that the MSI squad could beat the old FNC team. They basically just upgraded a midlaner and are getting better the more they play together.

Keep in mind that they were only running on half a year of playing in the LCS together when they went to the semi-finals at worlds.

I am upset that teams cant keep a roster anymore though. Makes it really hard to pick a team to like when players flip teams every split.

Ugh, not to sound xenophobic or anything, but I hate it when players from other regions come to NA. Like I know NA sucks internationally, but I at least can enjoy the rare occasions that an NA team does well. With all the KR/EU players coming over, everyone will just say, "Lol, NA getting carried by EU."

Also it is sad to see arguably the strongest EU squad ever break up. LIke why would they? They were doing so well.

At least I can see the continuing rivalry of Yellowstar's shotcalling vs Hai's.

Best shotcaller NA vs best shotcaller EU.

It's bad for every one when a region has relatively few strong teams. The matches aren't fun to watch and the lack of competition leads teams to stagnate skill wise. It's great that so many strong players are joining the NA scene and that many of the top teams shook up their rosters. Hoping for a really competitive spring season.

Importing a lot of players isn't the solution for NA. Think YellowStar would have done better staying with FNC or in EU LCS. People should really take a look at LCK/Korean esport/gaming culture and try to learn from it.

This also lowers the chances for NA players to advance in their own CS, not by a lot, but it still has an impact.

people need to stick to their own damn regions. that completely destroys the point of having international competition when regions are all mixed up like this.

All this talk of NA importing players when Fnatic (arguably the best team in EU last year) were playing with 2 Koreans on their roster......

FNC offered Yell0wStar more than TSM. Yell0w just didn't want to have to "build another team from scratch". The pressure of doing so last season almost forced him to retire.

Just want to point out that Huni confirmed to theScore eSports that he will play top next season. He's probably joining Immortals together with Reignover. --> https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3uuwfx/immortals_twitter_account_followed_huni_and/

I wonder who's going to replace YS? He was indispensable for FNC's success. The only ones I can think of that could pick up the torch would be Mithy (who's very much entrenched as OG's Support) and KaSing (who's the more likely option).

So no FNC on FNC roaster anymore ? Thats kinda sad
