Can anyone update me on LCS changes?

So, all I know is:

C9 purchase a challenger spot, the lineup will be Balls, Rush, Hai, Altec, Lemon

C9s NALCS roster changes will be Meteos back into jungle, impact top, Bunny support

NRG get Santorin and Quas (and are looking for an AD?)

YellowStar leaving TSM to go back to Europe.

DL joked about Piccaboo and KaSing on stream which would be cool, I just hope they don't main roster Valkrin, which I highly doubt they would. I'm gonna assume Ninja will try and leave RNG.

From these changes, it just looks like C9 is gonna have 2 NALCS teams after their challenger team destroys the challenger split.

If anyone knows anything else, please tell me :)

Edit: I literally got downvoted for asking about roster changes...

C9 will have to sell the team if it gets to LCS. They can't have two LCS teams. NRG also got KiWiKid.

See, I'm hoping TSM goes and acquires painless off TL. I've seen a bunch of his streams, and he looks to have a skillset that would mesh with bjerg/doublelift.

From what I've read, Otter is going to probably be starting for NRG next split with LOD filling some sort of "rotating role". Seraph and Ninja are apparently drawing a lot of interest from teams across multiple regions as well, which should make for an interesting "bidding war" should RNG decide not to keep them.

I almost knew for a fact before even seeing rumors that at least Ninja would wanna swap teams. He's honestly a god. Feel so bad for TDK. Emperor is doing really well on g2 at least.

Imaqtpie coming back for the rest of the season at least is on my wishlist. Didn't like him before but he's super skilled. Thought maybe Kiwikid would try and drag him into nrg for summer ;p

See, I feel bad for the TDK members who weren't swapped. They essentially got robbed of an LCS spot because their 2 best players got replaced by Ich and the rotating clown car of Renegades' top lane. If they had used their intended roster for the entire promotion tournament, we could've probably seen some crazy yet entertaining stuff.

Oh, and after the whole "veteran renaissance" failing huge in the LCS, I'm a bit skeptical on older players returning. QT may be talented, but I'd like to see him play before I get on the hype train.

Im talking about 2015 TDK, the LCS team, not challenger. They had like 2 of their players for the entire 2015 summer split because of visa issues. I think Emperor and Ninja were both stuck in Korea, their ADC and their mid. They were relegated.

edit; you can also watch his highlight videos or his streams. he can play any role pretty well but plays mostly adc. Imaqtpie YouTube is his channel, and his editor is hilarious.

Ah, yeah. I actually really enjoyed TDK (was one of the reasons I got into the game/started watching LCS). Really wish they had stayed together or at the very least changed their icon from a dragon to a giant piece of cheese.

Even if QT is as good as you say he is, I'm sorta understandably skeptical after watching Ich/Crumbz fail horribly in what was arguably the weakest NA split ever. The fact that Seraph was able to come in blind and virtually murder everyone (while it does say a lot about how good he is) shows that the players were either not as prepared or were not as focused as other splits.

If QT came back I think he would be in top 3 ADCs sneaky is #1 imo.

And yeah. Seraph and Ninja are gods. TDK last season split up and I think everyone on the roster is now carrying a team somewhere. Like I said. Look at emperor. They could've crushed NA imo
