For those of you who don't know, today, the 5 starters for ROX Tigers (formerly KOO Tigers) have announced the experiation of their contracts and they will be moving on to other teams

This is mostly due to ROX Tigers being unable to find a sponsor since the bankruptcy of KOOTV, that being said,top laner Smeb, mid laner Kuro, adc Pray, and support Gorilla, are looking for a team to join

ROX's jungle, Peanut, has a contract valid until Nov. 30 and will play with ROX until then but is allowed to receive offers from other teams, he is the only one that is unsure if he wants to continue to play with ROX or move on with the rest of his former teammates

So today ROX lost its starting 5 and i'd just like to thank the young team for all the memories, seeing them compete in last years World Finals, this years Worlds Semi Finals, was amazing

And for those who don't know, ROX broke the curse! in this years KESPA Cup, ROX took down SKT T1 in the Semifinals and one it all, a fitting end to the legacy of ROX Tigers

ROX was the only top 4 team that took the tourney seriously, and I think it was because it was there last tournament as a team. I think winning in the summer, not the Kespa cup was braking the curse ( I know they did not beat SKT, but they won Korean and SKT is in Korea). They were such a great team, and there games were so fun to watch that this makes me sad. Makes me sad to see a great team die, wish the ROX good luck.
