NA LCS HYPE

So with all the changes in the rosters/teams:

- CLG Nien resigns
- TSM benches Xpecial
- Dig benches Scarra and Cruzer for Shiphtur and Zionspartan
- CLG picks up Najin White Shield top laner (sub) Seraph (FOR TRYOUTS!!)
- Curse picks up Xpecial drops bunnyfufu
- TSM Oddone retires and becomes coach
- TSM sign CW Amazing
- TSM sign Gleebglabuu?
- XDG relegated by LMQ
- Coast relegated by CoL


Who else is SUPER pumped to watch summer LCS? Thoughts on the changes? Who benefits the most? Who made the worst decision?

I'm extremely interested in seeing how Dig play with zion/shiphtur. IMO their top laner wasn't that good, and zion is a very skilled top laner. I can see dig finishing top 3 next split.

Other rosters changes will be minimal, gleeb is good and curse will still be shit(IWD is bad).

I'm gonna go and predict this:

1. Cloud 9
2. LMQ
3. CLG
4. TSM
5. Dignitas
6. Complexity
7. Curse
8. Evil Geniuses

TSM is not as strong as it was now. Look at Coast. They have an incredibly talented mid, Shiphtur, as does TSM, Bjergsen. With Xpecial, the brains of the team, leaving, as well as OddOne, the team is going to not be as solid of a team in my opinion. Gleeb and Amazing are both amazing players, of course, but I don't see either of them meshing in with TSM.

I can't wait for the Summer split! Such huge changes to the rosters its going to be a new game to watch for everyone. I'm most looking forward to TSM though

I'm really sad to see OddOne and Xspecial go, but I guess it's for the best. Amazing is an amazing jungler, but I'm curious to see who they pick up as support. I can't remember if gleebglarbu is confirmed or not, but he seems pretty good.

I'm glad zion and shiphtur got a place to go, those both are too good to be not playing.

I'm gonna be keeping an eye on curse academy as well. Apparently if voyboy does shit then he'll be starting for CA and Mancloud will take his place as curse midlaner. So we'll see how that all goes.

1. C9
2. CLG
3. TSM
4. Curse (forever 4th) LMQ
5. Dig
6. Curse
7. Complexity
8. EG

I don't see TSM choking in the playoffs to a team like LMQ when worlds is on the line. IF CLG seraph goes great I see them contending with c9 for first in playoffs going the distance in a bo5. Dig probably won't beat LMQ or TSM in playoffs but who knows? I don't see complexity getting into playoffs along with EG with their current rosters.

I just can't wait till it friggen starts!
