Echo Fox acquires Dardoch

God bless, Rick Fox deserve strong players. He invest already so much into the scene when he didnt even need too (by how much he invested).

Echo Fox are now growing as a team. Now if only Rick Fox can contact Phil Jackson and have him coach the team, so Echo Fox can win some rings.

So that mean Arcsecond going to play for TL in the next split as the main jungler

the team right now can probably hit 6th now, if they keep big, if they get a competent support that can give keith direction then they could have a shot at 5th, but right now they need to learn to walk before they run. Also props to them for not panic replacing 3 players or anything, give keith and kfo a chance to grow with the help of an actual jungler this time

Had the feeling Dardoch would leave TL and I think it's a great choice for both Dardoch and Echo Fox. Definitely good to see Echo Fox is willing to slowly change out players so they don't switch and then "somehow" end up in the bottom 3 (Looking at you NRG, you got to playoffs... and then switch out 4 players... really?). I think Dardoch is also just what they need considering Hard seemed fairly passive. Dardoch should bring a pretty good style to Echo Fox. Will be very interesting seeing them next split.

(copying/pasting my response from the other topic of this issue that was open)

See, for me I'd much rather see a full-scrap of the team. While they did show promise in the second half of spring (when teams like dig/"ren"/tip were more or less feeding wins off), this team right now clearly lacks any sort of pressure. With all the free agents available, they could theoretically rebuild their entire roster (excluding froggen, as rick fox clearly wants him there) and take advantage of what is sure to be an extremely advantageous open market right now. If I were them, my roster for 2017 would look something like this, assuming C9 sells their LCS spot and doesn't "double down" in challenger again:

Top: Quas/Solo/Balls JG: Dardoch Mid: Froggen ADC: Fabbyy/Altec Sup: Hybrid/Bunny

Also, I'm incredibly interested to see what happens to TL after this. Losing one decent player can often be recoverable (c9 did it with rush), losing two can often be incredibly detrimental (OG going from 2nd to 9th). If we're going to be realistic, their only options right now for replacing their JG consist of one of the C-tier free agents (Moon, Hard assuming they do get rid of him, Santorin), bringing back Dom (which I personally think is incredibly unlikely), or attempting to steal Contractz off C9 (which again, I see as being heavily unlikely). ADC is also something that they might replace, with Jynthe having the series vs NV to show how good he is (Piglet always an option for replacing him in the off-season if he doesn't immediately light things up).
