Build your 2015 dream team

Riot·11/6/2014, 7:58:53 PM·0 votes·17,998 views
The roster dance is in full swing. While there's been a flurry of free agent talk for players such as Woolite, ZionSpartan and others, did you know that nearly every LCS pro is a free agent after Worlds? While most pros re-sign quickly after (or even before) their contracts expire, there are very few teams that contract their players for two year intervals. That leaves a lot of potential shifting if the players desire it. The list of LCS players under contract (as of October 20) is remarkably small: Airwaks, Amazing, Woolite, Balls, Bjergsen, Bubbadub, Dyrus, Hai, Kez, LemonNation, Meteos, Pr0lly, RobertxLee, Sneaky, TheOddOne, Westrice, WildTurtle, Xpecial, Bunny Fufuu, Cop, IWillDominate, Quas, Cyanide, Rekkles, Soaz, xPeke and YellowStar. So with that, we ask you the following question: Keeping in mind the regional restrictions of resident players, if you could have your pick of any free agents to play in the LCS, what would be your dream team? Riot Mirhi NA LCS
  • Top - ZionSpartan
  • Jun - Dandy
  • Mid - Pobelter
  • ADC - Imp
  • Sup - Aphromoo
While Pobelter is a bit of a gamble in mid lane, his skill ceiling is so high that with a great jungler like Dandy, and a player that likes to carry like ZionSpartan, he will meet his potential. We also have one of the most aggressive bot lanes in the world with Imp and Aphromoo -- they will always go HAM, and usually win. Riot RoboTayCo EU LCS
  • Top - Overpow
  • Jun - Dandy
  • Mid - Froggen
  • ADC - MrRallez
  • Sup - Mata
I’m convinced that Overpow is going to be one of the best top laners in Europe, and with the help of the ever-present Dandy, his transition period will be much easier. Meanwhile, we’ve got the rock of Froggen holding down the mid lane, while the ever-consistent MrRallez hangs out down bottom. Finally, just to push the team over the top, we’ve got a Worlds 2014 MVP Mata. With a combination of consistency and carry potential coming from all lanes, it’s hard to imagine any squads from EU topping them. Thomas Watts NA LCS
  • Top - ZionSpartan
  • Jungle - KaKAO
  • Mid - Pobelter
  • ADC - Altec
  • Sup - Mata
I wanted to import two Korean players that could handle shot calling and lead the team. Mata is the best support on Earth, and the brain behind Samsung White’s success. Adding KaKAO brings a leader that helped shape a young KT Rolster Arrows roster into a powerhouse. During his stay in EG, Altec was one of the most statistically dominant AD carries during the 2014 Summer Split. In mid lane, Pobelter is a solid player who can fulfill multiple roles in a team composition. Meanwhile carry top laner ZionSpartan can shed his unfair “split-push only” moniker thanks to a solid base for shot calling and leadership. Cameron Gilbert EU LCS
  • Top - Looper
  • Jungle - Dandy
  • Mid - Froggen
  • ADC - Rekkles
  • Sup - Nyph
Alliance’s key weaknesses at Worlds came at top and jungle. By slotting in two players with world-class synergy and deep champion pools, that weakness becomes an incredible strength. Meanwhile, bringing in Europe’s strongest AD carry in Rekkles* to join up with Europe’s most consistent mid laner in Froggen seems like a match made in heaven, and Nyph’s always-effective support play rounds out the squad. *Note -- While Rekkles isn't a free agent, he is reportedly looking to leave his team and his buyout clause is public information now. Fionn NA LCS
  • Top - ZionSpartan
  • Jungle - Daydream
  • Mid - Kur0
  • ADC - Altec
  • Sup - Aphromoo
Look out, it’s Team Potential! Daydream and Kur0 aren’t the sexiest names from the Korean free agent list, but both have tons of promise. Daydream will bring some of the most aggressive jungle play NA has ever seen, and kur0 is a mid laner you can trust to go toe-to-toe with anyone in lane. Rounding out the roster, we have the partnership of young Altec and the best support in NA Aphromoo creating a deadly combination. Finally, there's ZionSpartan in the top lane laying down the cane with Nasus. Think your team is better? How would you assembly the perfect squad of super stars?

EU LCS dream team:

Top - Vizicsacsi Jungle - Dandy Mid - xPeke ADC - Rekkless Supp - Mata

I think Vizicsacsi will be the hot topic in the next EU LCS. He has a very unique champion pool, and a hard carry potential, and I think if he gets a little assist from a jungler like Dandy at the start of his LCS carrier, he will be one hell of a terror at top lane!

Dandy is Dandy. Really, do you need any explanation?

xPeke is the first I would sign to any team. He is one of the most talented and consistent mid laner in the world, being one of the top 3 mid laners in EU since he became mid after season 1. And he is an absolute fan favourite (with Rekkless), so the team would instantly gain a lot of support from the community. Plus, what is really important imo, he always perform very well at big events, like Worlds (beating dade 1vs1 3 or 4 times), and LCS playoffs. Not to mention, that not anyone give a name to something in the League of Legends (xpeke=backdoor)! :D

Rekkless IS the best ADC in the EU LCS right now, and I think he is one of the TOP3 ADC-s of the world. His one and only flaw imo is that sometimes he isn't aggressive enough, like he would always want a perfect KDA. If he can overcome this, with someone like Mata, they would be unstoppable!

Mata. The best support in the world, and the MVP of the Season 4 World Championship. He would be the brain of the team, the one who would perform when the others have bad days, and the one who would lead them to the victories! With his skills and consistency, he can help Rekkless be more aggressive, while keeping his almost always perfect KDA.

Aaaand, what is really really important, this team would have the biggest possible fanbase in the EU LCS. Rekkless and xPeke were the top2 picks for the ALL STAR 2014 Tournament in Paris, Dandy and Mata (along with Faker and Madlife) are the most known and loved korean players of the western world, and Vizicsacsi will bring an entire nation's support (hungarians) to the scene.

NA

Top Lane - Balls...He may not have the hard carry games that you can sometimes see Zion and CaliTrlolz pull off, but he is consistent. He rarely ever doesn't win lane and he almost never loses it. His ability to snowball Top Lane is unmatched, especially looking back at the 2014 Spring split. Having a Top Laner that gets ahead in laning creates major opportunities for a play-making Jungler such as...

Jungle - DanDy...As previously mentioned, DanDy just makes plays. It's that simple. He is easily one of the best, if not the best, initiating Jungler in the world. Not only can he set up picks, but he can single handily initiate the perfect team fight.

Mid - Bjergson...He has shown that he can hold his own against the best in the world. Having strong lanes is a great way to push advantages for a team fighting team. Not only can Bjergson play assassins flawlessly but his Syndra has massive pick potential and he has been seen to pull out support Mid Laners in the past and perform fantastically (I'm looking at you PentaKill on Karma). Similar to Balls, it is rare to find a game when Bjergson loses lane, which in turn makes DanDy's presence on the map enormous.

ADC - Uzi...It is almost not even questionable that Uzi is the best ADC in the world. He practically single handily carried his team to the World's Finals. Giving him an All-Star team where he is challenged to out perform the best in the world is a scary thought. Especially when you put him in a lane with...

Support - Aphromoo...When talking about the best supports you cannot leave out Aphromoo. His performance throughout the 2014 season was unrivaled by any other NA support. He also brings a very strong laning phase and a fantastic initiation tool with him. He consistently makes plays on the most passive of champions (Flash Monsoon's from Janna). There is no doubt that he is the best support in NA, and perhaps one of the best in the world (it is a shame we couldn't see him stack up against Gorilla, Mata, and other supports at worlds this season).

That's just my opinion. I think that team could out-perform and team fight against the best of NA but it still lacks something major...shot-calling.

On the other hand, though not the most consistent team, I believe here would be the most fun team to watch...

Top - Vizicsacsi Jgl - ZionSpartan Mid - Hai ADC - Altec Support - Gorilla

I think that with Hai's insane shot-calling, Vizicsacsi's crazy champion pool, Zion's known potential to hyper-carry, and Gorilla to peel for Altec, this team would have the potential to pull out wins against any team in the world...Especially with the right coaching staff to grow Vizi, Zion, and Altec, while helping Hai mechanically. This team would have some explosive games...and some flops.
