Just a few roster moves to chat about if anyone cares...

First up, Khan and Clid have walked away from T1. Clid has already signed with Gen.G which should be a noteworthy upgrade for their roster, especially while also obtaining BDD as their new mid laner.

Khan hasn't yet been signed. (There's a vacancy on a noteworthy Chinese team he may fill...)

Meanwhile T1 has gone BIG. Like crazy big. A $10 million dollar negotiation with Invictus Gaming to obtain TheShy as their new top laner. Biggest monetary move in LoL Esports for a trade. T1 has also resigned Effort and signed Cuzz to become their new jungler.

As a T1 fan, I expect with Effort (hopefully) being the dedicated support starter that he and Teddy will only get better together. Getting Cuzz to replace Clid is a bit of a downgrade, but I doubt it's very worrisome. Cuzz is still a top level player. The huge change is obviously TheShy. Khan has plenty of struggles on the biggest stages, and he's been replaced with a World Champ top laner. This should finally mean top lane isn't going to be an exploitable weakness, which should make jungling easier for Cuzz than it was for Clid. T1 badly wants to make it back to winning major trophies.

There's no official announcement on T1 buying out TheShy. It's mainly fan rumors and I doubt they would invest that much when they couldn't even keep Clid. Currently Free Agent Top Laners that are actually good and speak Korean: Duke, GimGoon, Khan (they can always resign), Cuvee, Smeb So they won't unnecessarily buy out a player when talent is so stacked. Unfortunately Kiin resigned with AF though

Would shaker be ok with there being a better player than him on the team and outshining him week in week out?

Theshy is like faker was in season 3. Head and shoulders above any other top laner in terms of raw skill and lane performance.
