Zven and Mithy are TSM's new bot lane. Sadly, this does mean Biofrost is gone or a sub. SSong (ROX, Long, IMT) is also TSM's new head coach.

Impact, Xmithie, and Pobelter are also joining TL with Doublelift.

FINALLY

Doubletrash is OUT!

I know he has fans. I know a lot of his fans believed Doublelift to be the best ADC players in NA. Truthfully, TSM accomplished the same achievements with Wildturtle as they did with Doublelift. They performed nearly the same with Wildturtle have more moments where he would be too aggressive. However, Doubelift also had moments where he tilted and would change the mindset of the entire team. It's was not only in TSM, he did it while he was in CLG too.

In my my opinion, Zven is a better ADC player. His transition into TSM or any other team would be bumpy if he had to get used to a new support player. Instead, TSM is allowing him to start with Mithy, a support player he knows well. With that said, I hate to see Bio leave; to me, he was a very good support players. Top2 in NA, second to Smoothie

This also opens up for TSM to get another jungler. Personally, I don't think Sven was the problem. He was always an aggressive jungler. We have seen him get very aggressive but TSM has the tendency to force junglers into secondary support playstyle. It may work domestically, but internationally, those playstyle wont work. it's why it did not with Oddone, Amazing, and now, Sven. Whomever they get, whether it's Mikeyeung or whomever, they will liekly push into that same playstyle. It will see the same success like Sven, Oddone, or even Amazing domestically. Once they go internationally, the solo lanes will need help but the playstyle will not accommodate it.

That's my 2 cents

TL looking to apparently acquire as much of 2015 CLG as humanly possible. Would not be surprised if they made an aggressive push for aphromoo as well.

When your own talent fails, better import from EU.

Fuck me, right? EU West player that had fun watching Worlds properly for the first time this year and seeing Misfits suprise everyone and Fnatic beat the odds to break out of groups.

Now the key elements of both G2 and Misfits are going to America! Why? Money!

I can't blame them, but seriously Riot, fuck off. No way in hell is it anything else, considering EU's consistent outperformance of NA at Worlds (no disrespect to NA fans though, I'm just pissed at how this is even allowed to happen).

How am I supposed to root for any sort of regional rivalry in the future after the American teams have just bought out some of the best and upcoming EU players going? Is EU going to be the butt of a million and one jokes if Zven and Mithy knock out an EU team when playing for TSM?
