so is Gosu gonna be DL's replacement? or are they gonna have another "let's find our adc"

I heard rumors of Voyboy on twitter

Fabbyy- Still maybe under contract with TL and I personally don't care about his game. I was so hyped when I heard he was joining the LCS but once I saw that he was a 1 trick pony on Draven; I gave up. Look at Fabbyy in lane, people want to talk about the Sneaky memes in lane look no further. This dude does NOTHING in lane. The lane will just be a ghost lane as it won't do anything.

Voyboy/QTPIE- I really doubt they will stop making 10 min videos for youtube and the ability to eat cheetos 24/7 while streaming making that good $ to play for the LCS again. They joked about joining the LCS but that is what it is a "joke". Not saying you can't have fun but TSM isn't Curse or Dig; the org wants to win and not just "have fun" at this point in the League scene.

Altec is with the C9 challenger squad. People want to talk about D-Lift doing nothing but CS 24/7, Altec fits that description perfectly.

Gosu's been a rumor, but I don't think there's much to it. Gosu himself has stated that he's not at all qualified for the position, nor is he interested at the moment.

TSM QTPIE!!! make it happen! c'mon its only 1 split...what can go wrong?

TSM should just get Forgiven or Piglet. They obviously go for the big names and care nothing about actually playing as a team. That being said.....I think its BS that DL wants to skip summer split and only play for a shot at worlds. But, given his abnormally huge ego im not surprised at all.

I think that if Double words are true, TSM should take a gamble and go on someone like Ohq, which showed talent and promise but got stuck on a a NRG team that collapsed badly in its entirety in the last summer split. It would be a win-win situation for TSM:

• If he work he stays and they stick to him long term, with the added bonus that at this point (after 2017 LCS spring split) he would yet have been 1 year and a half in NA as import and could free in a not so distant future an import slot
• if he does not work they can easily dump him and get Double back

please senpai turtle come back

Guess someone forgot about Turtle getting 100-0ed by a Jhin cult because he literally can't dodge to save his life.

Unless TSM drops Svenskeren, they have to use a domestic ADC, since Bjerg and Svens are using the 2 import slots they have.

Also, keep in mind Doublelift wants to come back in Spring, which means TSM is not going to find a long-term ADC to fill his shoes.

The meta should be different next season, too. I think they should find a Challenger player to have an extended tryout for the Split. They need someone who can just hold lane and let Bjerg + Hauntzer carry. Biofrost is still somewhat new, so I think they should just focus on developing him and training a back-up of a sort. Nothing major like Forgiven, Piglet, WildTurtle, etc. that people are proposing below. The only one moderately appealing mentioned in this thread is Altec, but I think even that is a stretch since he is a veteran of a sort.

With DL "gone", TSM can and will replace him with the highest end of talent available. While the ADC pool isn't exactly "deep" right now, as far as temporary replacements go there are a few "high-calibur" options:

Forgiven- IMO the most likely possibility, not only was he a massive plus to an h2k team that saw their top/mid laners be incredibly inconsistent but he is also fits the same profile as DL (an egotistical player with a high skillcap who has bounced from team to team due to attitude problems).

Piglet/Fabby/Altec- The most likely backup options if they don't land forgiven, I expect all three to be on an LCS team this year due to the stuff that happened with TL and all the sub-bs and the fact that their talent was shown to be rather decent.

Nien/Keith- If TSM don't land my first two options, one of these two will probably be who they sign. While both don't have an "amazing" track history, they wouldn't need to do much to fit into a tsm team that has most of their roster from last season.
