SKT SIGNS PEANUT

AHHHH IM SO EXCITED SKT JUST SIGNED PEANUT!

Peanut had such a strong performance at the semifinals and worlds, though seeing Bengi leave is sad, Peanut will quite possibly be the only one in my eyes who can fill the shoes of one of the best junglers this game has seen.

This will also lead to HUGE matches this year in the LCK and at worlds, with SKT signing a new top laner and jungle, it is interesting to see how they will do, ESPECIALLY against the new KT team which has signed free agents Smeb, Deft, Pawn, and Score so far, giving them a stacked team, if KT could score Mata, they might be the team to take down SKT

leaguepedia is also a great site which lists roster changes on the main page.

SKT just signed Huni as well.... Which i see as a poor move because Huni is so easily tilted. Only time will tell if the magic of KKoma can save him from himself.

Huni is going to have to make some big changes to play on SKT. Really thought SKT would go with someone else. :/

yeah, Duke was a fairly strong top laner, weak with Poppy but his Gnar Trundle and Irelia are very strong, i'm not to fond in hunis performance but i have faith in kkoma

You're joking right? Duke's Poppy pretty much singlehandedly won SKT game 3 versus ROX in Spring finals.

Leo1024Dec 2, 20162 votes

maybe at spring but at worlds he picked it into jayce and often fell behind, versus a trundle he does pretty good but not anything special

YumScrumptious96Dec 2, 20161 votes

Poppy versus Jayce you are almost never going to win the lane. Jayce just does way more damage, your E only stops his melee Q and he can hit you away when you try to dive. Cuvee was the outlier here, seeing as he played like the best top laner in the world then.

Leo1024Dec 2, 20161 votes

I know but he keeps picking it into him lol, granted he got counterpicked a few times but he has picked into it before

don't get me wrong, i loved duke, he's bette than marin imo and i don't know why skt played profit instead of duke at the KESPA Cup, yeah they wanted to train the sub top laner but damn, he wasn't up to par with even the lower tier korean teams

I just read that and i'm so disappointed, the only real problem SKT should have is the new KT team and back when he was on fnatic in season 5 worlds, he got destroyed by Smeb (new kt top laner) Peanut was such a great move but this i can't agree with

though i don't like hunis play style, kkoma is by far the best coach i've seen, the way he talks to his team, his attitude and his ability to know what to do is great. Kkoma is the only hope i have in huni right now

"Guys even if we end up losing, let's play without regrets. Fighting!" -Kkoma

why would looper sign with echo fox? Echo was was a horrible team.

Faker still the carry m8 1v9 ez game

Leo1024Dec 1, 20161 votes

faker is a phenomenal player but with korean mid laners stepping up their game, the whole team has to do well unless they're playing NA teams or EU teams that aren't TSM and H2K, Bengi undoubtedly saved SKT in the semifinals, Blank was lacking, banning MF support helped a lot too but for a first pick Nidalee that Bengi had little to no time to train, he did amazing

TSM literally shit their pants at worlds. Sure Cloud9 couldnt beat SKT but at least they put up a fight..

Leo1024Dec 1, 20161 votes

Tsm did decent and are still the strongest na team imo but doublelift likes lucian and he's not the strongest no matter how well he can perform on him, his jhin game is so weak compared to just about everyone's and constantly losing games because of bot was sad to see

i never liked cloud 9 but i think it's so funny that jensen went 0/6/6, the only person i saw go lower was RNG's jungle during like game 4 or 5 in quarterfinals who went 0/7 or something

Where do you find this type of information at I'm curious? I can't find shitt talking about this stuff even on the official "League E-Sport" site.

Leo1024Dec 1, 20162 votes

well i like to look at this website called TheRiftHerald which is essentially a League news site, currently they have an article that they update for every transfer made in the offseason, they do lots of stories and it's really cool

but I first heard in SKT's post on twitter

III BAKURYU III Dec 1, 20162 votes

Ah! Thanks, I would have never found out most of this stuff if it wasn't for people like you putting out the stories on the boards. It's obvious this League site other than the board doesn't put out anything relative or up2date other than a outdated Worlds/the All Star.

You're, the only one? Don't get me wrong, SKT building a better roster is nice (reminds me a lot of what the patriots did a few years ago when they won a superbowl and immediately traded 3 of their best WR's for draft picks). That being said, it's completely screwed over the region as a whole. If the roster does indeed end up being Huni/peanut/faker/bang/wolf, then they are probably going to go undefeated in their region and win worlds this year. Unlike most wanna-be SKT fanboys who can recite faker's name in korean dialect and name his exact age to the second on here, I'll get bored as hell watching the region if there isn't any remote competition to the top.

Leo1024Dec 2, 20161 votes

no competition? SSG was able to turn a game that SKT almost won at 30 into a 70 minute game comeback, the SKT v ROX series was amazing, 2 5 game series in the world finals, SSG so far is keeping their roster so they'll give SKT a run for their money and the KT squad is stacked as hell, great mid, great jungle, great adc and the best top laner in the world, that will be fun to watch, while most teams in korea aren't anywhere near as good as SKT or SSG, their presence on the worlds stage is exciting

seriously though in 2015 faker went master yi mid...agains the only other undefeated team in the LCK, and he destroyed, this years KESPA cup saw faker go galio mid against victor, so i can see what you mean about no competition at times but when it's the big korean teams, those are some great games
