honestly... Elements looks...shaky , and i honestly believe their last season format looked a lot better. In my opinion , the reason why that team crashed and burned was Froggen , and while they still stick with him that problem won't dissapear. While a great player , and pretty sound mechanically , i feel that froggen is also a pretty passive player , that lacks pressure on map. Someone could argue that the curent meta heavily favours him , since most team prefer mage oriented mid laners , able to farm and scale in the late game. I agree , but even so , i feel he offers very little pressure for the amount of jungle attention and general resources he requires. That being said , i'm interested how Dexter will perform this season , but from past experience , i've enjoyed his playstyle and he also seemed solid. Now it depends on how good is his synergy with Froggen and how well he fits in the team. Tabzz was arguably top 2 adcs last season , and he probably knows at least part of the team well enough so i doubt he will have problems adapting. Their top seems mechanically sound at least , but it depends on how well he can play around froggen's passive style. I honestly believe one of wickd's worst mistakes was that he constantly played verry aggro , and did attracted a lot of top attention. That's generally good , and it's exavtly what a top should try to do.....when your team can take an advantage on the other side of the map. But froggen being a passive laner , and bot with rekkless also being a passive lane , wickd kept playong aggresive and getting punished without realiation. If their new top can manage to play around that , he's going to do well. If it's pure reckless agreesion again , then he won't be much of an improvement over wickd. As for their support , i don't know anything about him , so i don't have an opinion yet , but he's probably at least mechanically apt to be picked by a lcs team. It also depends on how good his synergy is with tabzz. Now , in conclusion , i believe Elements is going to be a mid of the pack team this split. If they don't rush it , and they don't fall apart as a team like they did in spring , i see great potential , but if egos and great expectations (which this team shouldn't have) put a lot of pressure on the players , i can see this team imploding again. Anyway , this are just my 2 cents...and i might be totally wrong

I love their new version of the logo. Much better than the old one.
