C9 and TSM

With the recent roster changes both teams are on shaky ground. 3 people on TSM stepping down, Lemon and most likely Hai going back into retirement from cloud9, both team rosters are really going to suffer with such a small pool to recruit from. But from what i can see both teams still have alot of POTENTIAL to rebuild. Tsm can rebuild around bjergson and C9 can rebuild around Sneaky, and trust to incarnations mechanical skill to hold down the mid lane. What i would like to see for cloud 9 is to either get a new top laner (no hate to balls but the competition is just beginning to out scale his improvement rate) and shotcaller, or they will fall lower than even this season. And TSM needs to find a shotcaller so that bjergson can focus more on making the plays and getting fed than watching everyone. C9 got better when hai could focus on shotcalling from the jungle and not worry about mid. Thats what tsm needs is their midlaner to have to worry about his opponets not his and everyone elses. A support or jungler would be ideal for this in my opinion. Again, this is all speculation and personal opinion so if you feel differently feel free to voice your own opinions.

I hope that they will bring in some NA Talent and form it to be a worldclass player. I dont get why they r not trying it... there is like no risk in NA LCS to do it.

NA LCS is the weakest competition worldwide and the perfect place to bring in their own talent, cuz u will get away with this in this low lvl competition league. Then u have a whole year to form the talents and make them worldclass and those players will give everything to win something and might try harder than most pros will do when u buy them.

This is actually really low risk and could end in maximum reward if u formed that new guy to be a star player. I call BS to everyone who says NA has no talent, teams are just angry with no damn reason... their league competition cant fall lower anyways and teams like TSM and C9 will be top 5 at least even thoe they form their new talents to be great players.

tsm wont suffer at ALL. they got rid of their 3 worst players, now they have a chance to rebuild themselves and truly tap their potential. and 2/3 are likely to be imports. all they have to do is find one na and then they have free choice. most likely for top/jg. id be interested in rush jungle. imagine facing rush + bjerg.

as for c9, they are gonna do really bad if they dont get a good jungler, because we saw what happened to them when they didnt have hai.

and this time around i think the lcs is gonna be closer then ever. renegades arent looking like a 10th place team at all, and i actually think c9 will finish 7th again. hai is literally their identity.
