Turtle gets to have a shot at the tryouts, too. The team is literally just bjergsen right now.

Kind of like when everyone left Fnatic and the only one left was Yellowstar, lets hope for similar results :D

I wouldnt compare that. Fnatic was Soaz, Cyanide, xPeke, Rekkles and Yellowstar.....out of those Yellowstar/Rekkles are still having amazing success with Fnatic and xPeke/Soaz went on to found a team that got to semi's in worlds it's first split in LCS. The team outside of Yellowstar was really strong and each player amazing.

Where as if i was Bjergsen i would be wondering what I was doing on a team where the top laner(who i love as a player and did wonderful things for the esport) should have retired a split or two earlier and cant do carry top meta. A jungler/adc who simply put...are not up to par and at best a decent support for NA that pales in comparison to other regions all-stars. TSM may seem like a dominate team and they love their "we make worlds/playoff finals every year" stat...but a lot of that is bcuz there is rarely any competition in NA.

If i was Bjergsen i would be looking for a solid team that wanted a good mid to flesh it out rather than staying on a sinking ship

I was in no way comparing TSM to Fnatic. All I was saying was that TSM is in a similar situation that Fnatic was in a year ago. Both teams had virtually every player depart, leaving only one skilled player remaining on the active roster.

Last year everyone left and Yellowstar was the only remaining player. They had to completely rebuild the team and yes Rekkles eventually rejoined which was awesome. But Fnatic still had tryouts, they skill needed to find replacements for four positions. They also got a new coach. And they did an amazing job picking up Febiven, Reignover, Huni, Steelback, and eventually getting back Rekkles.

TSM is now in a very similar position where Bjergsen is the only remaining player so far. They are going to have to rebuild the team and have even announced that they are looking for a new coach. I am simply hopeful that they will be able to find the right players and coach similar to how Fnatic did. TSM will have a similar starting point, and there are still a lot of unknowns, but that doesn't mean TSM is a sinking ship.

Wait are Lustboy and Santorin also departing TSM? All I have heard is the Dyrus is retiring and Turtle will most likely be replaced for being subpar...I did not know they were also lossing support and jungle...my apologize. I thought you meant the only person on the team that matters/should be TSM is Bjergsen,not literally he will be the only returning player

No worries, They announced that Lustboy, Santorin, and Dyrus are all stepping down from their positions on the team. They are also having tryouts for the ADC position and I have a strong feeling that Wildturtle will not be part of the new team next year. They are also accepting applications for a new coach. I think that lustboy and locodoco are still staying but are involved in different roles.

Lustboy is moving to analyst. Santorin is going full time streaming. So yes, they are both gone.

I can't imagine a more boring stream than a jungler who farms all day. ;)

Yea. I watched a few of his streams while he was still at TSM. I found it better than people like Lustboy who dont talk at all but really not very compelling.
