So, we got TSM giving an extremely friendly temp trade that I don't think can be taken any other way than an obvious "save TL from Relegation at potential expense of another lower standing team". Now we have Adrian being transfered from P1 to TL, with P1 getting a DIG Sub replacing him at support for P1. Which is more confusing given Adrian is one of the better supports right now.

Yeah, for me this entire scenario looks confusing to the point in which rito might want to seriously look into the matter/"TDK" the parties involved. In a different post on here, I mentioned about how no team in their right mind would give up DL as he's one of the best adc's in NA. TSM wasn't "using him" however, as compared to Adrian who for the past year or so has been the best standalone NA support (none of this "DL/Sneaky to pad his stats" bs). The fact TL managed to go from dead-last in NA with 3 and a half terrible players to a roster that consists of 4 players who could potentially go to worlds in summer (with a better toplaner) is ridiculously fishy. Something's up on this one.

I agree, although Lourlo was doing good most the year.

Kinda. I like to think of Lourlo as the "token stat player". Look at any terrible franchise, and there's always one guy who stat-wise does really well while the rest of the team does terribly (freeze is a great example of one last spring, other ones in actual sports include Adrian Peterson/Calvin Johnson when the vikings/lions were crap in their division). Although he may have decent stats, it's mostly because someone has to absorb them and not because he's that good or anything.

I get the example but lets be real, had AP or Megatron played for real teams during there primes they would of done much better then they did lol.

While if Lourlo was on TSM they'd be hyping him up as one of the "best NA toplaners". While some players are good, there's a difference between being "high-quality" and "inheriting decent stats but unable to do anything with them".

There was drama behind the scenes in P1 where adrian didn't want to play with inori. I'm guessing this was a "one of us has to go" moment and p1 decided to stick with inori. It isn't about helping TL; they just benefited from the timing.

When Adrian says that he is glad to be playing with meteos because it's nice to finally play with a jungler with brains, you know there was tension.

This is kinda becoming interesting, hell now I'm waiting for TSM to trade Bjergsen to EF for Gate or something.

That wouldn't make the slightest bit of sense, nor would trading or letting go of anyone on the starting roster. DL's original intention was to take the Spring off and then possibly compete for the ADC spot in the summer, unless the team really needed him beforehand which they obviously don't. DL was part of the talks/negotiations for the deal so whatever the conditions and/or offers were, he agreed to them. This "trade" is pretty much a way of TSM letting TL borrow him for the remainder of the split, but in a way that would be acceptable to Riot's policies.
