Turt-Quest?

Just found this, apparently TSM's second-favorite adc is joining Flyquest to replace altec. While I myself don't care for the move (Altec is a Canadian who is willing to play off-meta stuff and share his knowledge of the game with people, making him super relatable), it does introduce some more interesting matchups now and potentially makes them a third-place possibility for worlds behind C9 and TSM in that order.

Great find and info, it really begs the question on which teams can/will make it to Worlds now that the NA scene feels even more competitive than the usual 3-way team race(TSM-C9-CLG)

TSM and C9 are lockins for being in, while NV (even with the potential Nisqy/Pirean mid I doubt they'll make it above 8th), Dignitas (sorry, but any team reliant on Keane and Apollo-lite in lod will probably never make it to worlds unless it's as an IWC), TL (could potentially be gg for gg, as goldenglue is suggesting that a "failure" could be the end of his lcs career), EF (basically the same as dignitas, only that I don't really see froggen making it to worlds unless they can somehow add huni/reignover to his team), and IMT (which I expect to finish top-4 this split) all being "out".

CLG will be interesting with dardoch in and should hopefully jumpstart their ridiculously bad early game, or at least make it look less like an old woman trying to roll a tractor tire down a hill. Flyquest is really interesting now as Turtle might have to be relied upon to actually carry games now (no more Babysitter Bjerg), while P1 will probably be the odds-on favorite to secure that third seed even though I could see them get absolutely destroyed at worlds simply due to lack of overall experience.

Indeed, TSM-C9 are pretty much always going to be in the front line of making it to Worlds, like getting the golden ticket to Willy Wonka and his chocolate factory.

FQ or CLG I'm honestly torn between the two teams. Hai's shotcalling is no joke and neither is Aphromoo's, both teams look incredibly strong now with Turtle instead of Altec on FQ but the determining factor will be the Dardoch and Huhi situation, we know Huhi isn't the best mid and the mid lane is where most ganks happen, so if Huhi messes up some free kills or ganks I see Dardoch getting pissed, which more than likely will happen.
I'm leaning towards CLG to get that spot between the two teams.

NV - Lira can't win games himself and the team around him looks meh, the are either horrible in the early game so they fix that in the next split but are horrible in the mid/late game and it's just a constant back and fourth with that, where they can't ever seem to find a middle ground in both stages of the game.

TL- Roster looks promising on paper but overall their weaknesses is just too much for me to say they will make it to Worlds; I'd be shocked if they do make it but not holding my breath for that to happen.

DIG- Sometimes you just gotta now what you need to let go to be better even tho Keane has his moments/games he's champion picks in games are worse than TSM's and he's supposed to be the carry for DIG. Ssumday can farm a storm but all that CS means nothing when 75% of the other map are losing laners.

EF- Echo Fox seems to always have some trick under their sleeves but each time I watch them play it's a clown fiesta with like 40 total kills and the way they play is very shaky.

IMT- If anyone wants to know what a E-Sport "rebuilding" looks like, look no further in my opinion.

P1 - Could have easily not have won those 4-5 game series if it wasn't for Meteos and could have not even made it to Playoffs if it wasn't for him so I doubt they will make it but should still have a good split non-less.

Also, I found the " Thank You Wildturtle" as he looks on from afar to be funny considering it's like " Thank you for leaving TSM so they/we can now win with D-Lift now that he's back" I don't know, just found it to be funny to me.

Flyquest is probably the best team for turtle to be on. No one will be able to call him out for flashing forwards on a Hai-led team.

I suppose it's worth noting that sneaky replaced turtle back during the pre-C9 days, but that might have been because TSM was replacing Chaox. TSM Keith anyone?
