Does anybody else feel bad for Santorin?

Kind of sucks he got sold so a team could spend the money elsewhere, and now released because there's no money coming in. All within a 2 month span too. Gotta be rough to be yo-yo'd back and forth like that.

Not really, no... He said that he wasn't even going to play League competitively any more..

And frankly.. he seemed really burned out.. or something.. during his last split with TSM

Well "being sold" ... isn't without his permission I guess .. after all he is noones property.

If you're under contract, you don't have as much as a say as you would discretion. That's the entire point of contracts to begin with.

Haha, so thats why there is something called contract law? Employers rights etc.?

See, I'd like to think of this a bit differently. Huma sold his contract because they thought they could tame rudy's solo-queue hyper-aggressive playstyle and thought he had a higher ceiling than santorin. While I don't think that is going to be the case (as much like rush in his rookie year, rudy has made a bunch of huge mistakes), the LCS is ultimately a place in which only the best talent survives. If Santorin really wants to show them up, he should try to become as good as he possibly can and try to join a team that desperately needs a jg (would say TSM, but they need a lot of things right now).

If you watch him play solo queue, he plays pretty aggressive on champs like Evelynn. Yeh, Solo Queue is very different than an extremely well put together game plan, but he has the ability to do it. He just plays professionally very timid and reactive. His problem on TSM was the fact that Dyrus was perma tilted from being camped all the time. I think the gameplan around TSM in general is pretty terrible, since they constantly play defensive teams. Dyrus and even Hauntzer had/have the skill to play hyper carries, Bjergsen has the same ability to do so, yet so many games you see them playing tanks and losing. I think had Dyrus not been forced to play shit he didn't really want to, he would have had a better last season. The games he played Olaf, it showed he had the potential to absolutely destroy, and that even drew Olaf bans from CLG in the Summer Split finals until game 3 I believe.
