Suddenly, Steeelback!
And Fox. And Gilius.
What does everyone else think of the new UoL lineup?

Middle of the pack in EU, with potential to be slightly better than that if Csacsi can go back to Spring form playing and carry a bit more and if Gillius can improve a bit
Gillius is basically a worse version of Kikis, which doesn't say much as Kikis was probably top 2-3 in Spring, so he shoud be decent to good, surely better than H0R0, but does not profile as a star unless improvement
Fox...surely a huge downgrade from PoE. I think he is not bad, but he is not good either, and probably about bottom of Eu mid lane. He showed promise before SK got him, and he was average-ish but not standout for his experience level in Spring, and in Summer showed no progress. I am not really sold on him improving that much, but there is still a chance that a change in org can benefit him and make him unlock some potential. Maybe weakest link of the team depending on ADC talent pool in EU
Steelback is a BIG upgrade over Vardags, who was, quite honestly, probably the 2nd worst ADC in Eu LCS, probably better than Adryh only (with an asterisk on CandyPanda because of SK problems). He has bad laning (still far better than Vardags but bad laning nonetheless) and very good teamfighting, he would have actually ben perfect on UoL Spring setup with Kikis-PoE on the team as he would have had similar kind of style of Vardags one, except he is just a flat out better player (once you discard the top ADC like Rekkles that were not a possibility for UoL, only MrRallez was potentially better among the guys with his playstyle)...on this new team that has far less carry potentially, we have to see if he fit as well as he would have done with previous iterations of UoL. By the way, no one of the players in UoL is not going to lose games by themselves for the team, which means that having above average top and support players UoL doesn't risk relegations, imho
I feel I'm missing something terribly important...
Worse without PoE and Kikis IMO.
The thing I loved about old UoL was that they weren't afraid to take off meta picks and that they wouldn't back down from anyone. They were the funnest team to watch.
well, i love Steelback - but i utterly dislike Fox...dunno. Hope they´ll find another midlaner somewhere - maybe prolly since he´s a free agent again and would somewhat fit into unicorns?
When I HEAR the summoner name MrRallaez, I ALWAYS think this guy must suck.
Impossible for me to take that guy seriously with that summoner name. No matter how well he plays.
Steelback, YES Fox, Maybe Gilius, meh
