Darien was the reason I fell in love with Gambit. Despite missing him..

I shall remain loyal to my favourite 1-4 EU team for life. Maybe one day we'll see Dr. 420 Darien playing again (pipe dreams, I know), but the point is this:

Love the team you love, not the team that's best.

he is cute but his eyes scare me sometimes.

yea, really a shame he had been as underappreciated - no other toplaner could assert that amount of pressure (or force Korean Teams to ban Darius after just 1 game). Surly one of the very best tops EU ever had. For the team...i really loved M5, but Gambit just derailed further and further away from the aggressive/deceisive play with lots of confidence in mechanical abilities unfortunatly - so i´m not really a huge fan anymore. Origen looks a lot closer to the old M5 as is.

I completley agree, i love gambit and will always cheer for gambit, alex ich is the reason i personally loved gambit so much and i stil do, i love betsy think there's a ton of potential there.

honestly....i think edward (sorry, Gosu Peps) is needing some competition to step up his game his supporting hasnt been great for a long time now compared to the new bloods.

now as for my Origen icon, as soon as xpeke announced he was making a team i was interested, as soon as niels was anounced i was super interested and when i saw there style i was hooked, so i've followed these guys from the start (something which i didnt get to do with gambit, AKA the Moscow 5)

who will i cheer when gambit and origen play? i have not got a bloody clue, probably gambit.

why did Darien quit by the way? i got into watching League when alex ich was mid, not sure if darien was still around i think he was but he left very quick when i started watching and yeh Origen right now is reminding me of gambit, honestly they looks scary so far theyve played korean, China, NA and EU meta's, to a standard that dominates and they are by far looking the best at closing out games they do not pussy foot around there just like ''right we got the advantage, que mortal combat voice FINISH HIM''

we'll see i think gambit need a re-structure and new blood, Gosu is looking tired to me and Diamond is way too inconsistant, caboschard i feel real sorry for as he is a fantastic top laner.

because he really didn´t get appreciated and his high-pressure laning often resulted in him getting killed by 2-4 players of the other team. This hadn´t been an issue in the M5 days, because they would have just taken objectives elswwhere while Darien reminded at a CS lead despite getting camped, but since they went on playing mroe passive during S3 it all fell apart more and more. They just lost their drive to "play to win", it´s also the reason Alex left the team.
