R.I.P. ROX TIGERS

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

I can see SKT Smeb and SKT Peanut over SKT blank

if Smeb joins SKT I'd be so happy, Duke is a great top laner, and though i prefer Maarin, Duke is stronger atm, also they've been playing their sub top laner Profit since the kespa cup but Smeb would work well with SKT, he is no doubt the best top laner, having the best top AND mid would be amazing

Peanut might not however, he had tried out for several teams, he did awful but when he played trying out for other teams, but with ROX he says the communication and the team itself just made it easier for him to play well, not sure how he'd do on skt, if anything i wanna see bengi back, blank is good but damn bengi saved skts ass in worlds

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.

yeah i mean it's only the 2nd year of the KESPA Cup so it's only expected, i mean, faker went Galio mid, Galio...this guy Galio

but all in all despite my support for SKT ever since they won worlds last year, ROX earned my respect because they fought and never gave up and always had such a great spirit, i loved watching them play and seeing how well they did this year at worlds, especially with Peanut, makes me love them even more

i'm gonna miss ROX but it'll be cool to see where they all end up
