yea and he was wanted for it, idk if he ever got arrested though.

hell yeah, I don't think it'll happen right away but down the line mixed rosters in the Americas is a given.
EMEA has been doing it for awhile and makes it work
Pacific I feel like will be more mixed off the get go due to the sheer amount of JP, KR, and SEA talent out there.

The real trick right now is just the language barriers for everyone but that'll get better with time. I feel like the LATAM and BR teams are gonna benefit from having better access to NA staffing. (No offense to them but outside of Onur and Bzka I can't think of any standout LATAM/BR staff)

Players ofc theres alot of dream super team potential.

#3^ this

plus other sources

Bren Esports owner got in deep water recently.

X10 prob have really shitty management as well.

Optic has had a history of issues up at the top of their org when it comes to ownership and management, plus they sold their spot in League Franchsiing.

Riot was picking orgs based on structure and stability. Its why OG, TSM, G2, Acend, all didn't make it.

It sucks but when you've got a bad history with Riot ofc they're not gonna wanna give you a slot.

But I definitely can see someone picking up most of their roster.

confirmed that you are only allowed 1 non region import.
American teams can have any number mix or even full rosters of NA, LATAM, or BR rosters, but only 1 player from Pacific or EMEA,
Same applies to teams in other 2 regions.

Best example is T1 dropping their american players because they can at most keep 1 in their move to Korea.

Def some good news

NRG easily (flair)
what happens to teams like SEN, EG, MIBR, GENG, T1, Vitality, NAVI, pretty much every other team that doesn't have a Tier1 roster right now should be interesting.

yes and no
3-3 all time
both have 1 title.

MIBR was basically confirmed in place of NIP

LEV were mentioned during the G2 shit,

this here ^

but this also is just rumored, not confirmed.

Whereas EMEA and NA have had confirmations thus far.

thats why I haven't included them yet as Noyn isnt a 100% credible source.

noyns been wrong before, isn't a 100% source.

not confirmed out yet. Still 1 slot for NA

Riot announcement tommorow for all 30

Also correct, but I feel like this will also inevitably happen. Too much talent across the continents for it not to be done by someone.

Its definitely not out of the question, as these days English and Spanish are still some of the most learned languages in the world, and rosters across all 3 regions have already had slightly mixed teams with imports from Korea and such.

Would lose my shit if this happened, as NRG will definitely have some sorta major roster overhaul.

I would love to see a mixed American team roster, could honestly be built to be a super team if done correctly.
Would be kickass to see even if they weren't great in performance.

If any current org specifically would do it, I feel like it'd be MIBR as they're already tied to Immortals in NA.

currently rumored teams
EG, V1, G2, XSET, FAZE, 100T

Out of all of these, any of them + NRG maybe could all be in the running to buy atleast the majority of Optics roster and staff.

y'all rlly dont get it

calm down orgs =/= rosters

they gonna get signed to a different org, players like Suygetsu and Yay are locks for the league.

rostermania soon

good roster, but who knows as I feel like MIBR with them essentially also being Immortals could end up giving us a mix of NA and SA talent as well.

But who knows.

orgs =/= rosters bros. They're gonna get picked up just to a different org.

C9s roster will only likely make small changes
SEN I can see them dropping everyone but TenZ Dapr
NRG full new roster and coaching staff. They've proven they can invest properly see LA Shock in OWL.

Of teams in the running to make it in NA, (G2, XSET, Faze, V1, TGRD, EG) I think it depends on a case by case basis whether they'll build a good roster or not. As many of them right now have solid rosters and with the chance of the full XSET and OPTIC rosters being out there, no shot someone doesnt pick them up.

rosters are gonna get changed, and pretty sure teams like EG, NRG, SEN will get new IGLs and potentially new coaches or whatever else.

This is confirmed via dotesports and other official outlets

if you're gonna bait bro atleast know what you're talking about.

Anyone that doesnt make the partner league rosters can still compete for the ascension tourneys in the challengers leagues. Not like dozens of players will all of a sudden lose their careers.

Optic might stay but their roster 100% not being poached would be insane.

Where was MIBR and 100T confirmed?

im sure NIP and Furia will get new rosters or atleast some form of upgrade. Always a change an NA org picks up BR talent too

even if "PRX" as an org don't make it, that roster 100% gets picked up.

NIP is kind of a yikes, I think everyone in the American league can agree.

G2 can literally sign whoever to their roster, maybe they get Optic idfk. But their move isn't confirmed yet either.

NRG have a huge financial background, owned by companies that own multiple top esport and traditional sport franchises, dominant in OWL, so they were always a contender to get in as they're a huge org. Rosters don't mean shit as rostermania is coming around.

Evil Geniuses are albeit not as large of an org as TSM and T1 but the other two have spotty records in terms of management, so EG would be a more stable org as they've been around forever in the sport. Probably just a reliable pick. Same thing regarding roster as mentioned in NRG.

Currently reported league is this:

100T
C9 - confirmed by dotesports
EG
FURIA
KRU - this is also a given
LOUD - this is a given
NIP
NRG - confirmed by dotesports
SEN - confirmed by dotesports
+1 (G2/T1/LEV)

3 BR confirmed
5-6 NA
1-2 LATAM
these are dependent between LEV, and whatever other team because G2 could pick up any roster if they make NA, same with T1 ig?

meh. rip jingg ult but some of those corners did need to get changed.

as an NRG fan, gotta say that their roster very likely gets torn apart, Eeiu is their best player on a consistent basis. Tex and S0m who were their "stars" in stage 2 are inconsistent at best, and bad in their roles at worst. Move s0m to CC and drop Tex.

Considering teams like XSET, FaZe, EG, SR all basically getting shafted I can see them dropping everyone even.
-Hazed + Zander/Dephh/Supamen
-Tex + Bdog/Cryo/Dicey
-Ethan + BCJ
-S0m + Zekken

Honest hopium here from me.

C9 I can see them dropping Curry and maybe Mitch, Chaos core isn't going anywhere
SEN needa drop like everyone but TenZ and Dapr, depending on Zellsis or not.

Dephh is a far better caller than Shahz

a few vocal idiots do per usual. But anyone with half a braincell knows its not gonna happen, 5-6 is realistic. American League slot distribution isn't a problem, Pacific looks like a bigger concern rn.

I don't think it either I'm just saying if Guard don't make it, and say TSM doesnt buy out optic, why not have TSM buy them out or something.

Personally I have Guard making the league so I'm just being a critic to your proposed roster cause to me it looks like a mess.

god alot of the dumber american vlr users are coming out and giving the rest of us a bad name.

Optic - no roster change is definitely believable, even if theyre bought out that core wont change
100T - while i feel like they could improve in some regards, I dont see them breaking up the roster they put alot of time into, although Cryo would def be my first choice, if not him then Bdog. So its acceptable

SEN - I feel like a Dapr/Zellsis would happen over say a Zekken/Zellsis just because Dapr has the flexibility and was already their senti/smoke player. Zellsis and Zekken basically play the same role, as for adding Supamen feels like a good W for them

C9 - They wouldn't drop leaf, they'd 100% keep the core of Vanity, Xeppaa, and Leaf. Either all go or none go I feel like. -Curry, Mitch very likely. JonahP and NeT feel like they'd be good pickups for them, but Guard are heavily in the running to also make it and that core likely wouldn't break up so a + Dicey + Ethan/Eeiu/Subroza as Initiator/Flex

TSM - Just buy out guard roster, although its basically a given that only maybe Subroza of the current TSM core would even be on the team still.

with their current roster fuck no they don't.
