Every offseason, rosters undergo major shakeups as each organization tries to push itself over the top. With the World Championships all wrapped up, here are 10 of the biggest names to keep an eye on from 2015’s NA LCS talent pool.
10. Porpoise, Jungle, Immortals (formerly Team8)
3.1 KDA, 78.3% KP, 47% FBP, 0.94 WPM
It’s possible Porpoise will remain with Immortals (formerly known as Team8), but with the new ownership and the departure of Caltrlolz, Porpoise may also be ready to search for greener pastures. If he takes the free agent route, he should draw some decent attention from teams looking for a well-rounded Jungler who saves them a crucial import slot.
Possible Destinations: Immortals, Team SoloMid, Gravity, Cloud9
In the aftermath of Team SoloMid’s early exit from the 2015 World Championship, the team announced that they would be replacing four of their five starting players. Only Bjergsen remained to anchor the Mid lane. It was a drastic move, though not entirely unexpected.
The next move was bigger. Less than 10 hours after SK Telecom T1 clinched their World Championships victory, TSM dropped the bomb: the star player of their forever-rivals, CLG’s Doublelift, would be joining TSM for the 2016 season, the first new member of their revamped roster.
Let’s see if we can make any sense of this new reality. First we’ll explore the two keystone players TSM will be building around, and some implications. Then I’ll present some players I think they should consider for the other three roles.
