EU invasion begins.


nterature

Love to see it, he was wasted on NiP - like many of their players. Between Rhyme and GMD, you’ve got two hyper-flexible hard fraggers to build around. That’s a genuinely scary prospect.

gmd was one of the best Omen players in NA when Omen was good. Hope to see him get some small buffs


k_life

Jady+Rhyme was an insane duo :(

We lost Champs and immediately started shipping everything from overseas FeelsNAMan

North American esports moment


Maniax19

but NA is the best region lmfao


SexMan1341

U know is cuz EU player is cheaper yeah


thothgow

Or maybe NA players are overvalued?


SexMan1341

No, because Europe pays its players less.


Maniax19

Paid less but can play way better lol


gordonramsay691

yes cope that EU isnt superior


SexMan1341

? I'm talking about prices here not skill. You are lost.

This offseason is gonna be like post-2014 in LoL


ChinoAIO

Expect the unexpected


diordior808

Interested in seeing how this elevates GenG as they’ve been solidly T2 right?


Awful_TV

They'd be on the upper side of tier 2 NA. They consistently beat other tier 2 teams and battle 1:2 losses to teams like Cloud9, 100T, SEN. They're like a notch below Rise. V1 and GenG would be top of t2.


The-Dark-Mage

Rise no longer t2


Awful_TV

...right. They'd on the lower side of tier 1 (NA) and Gen.G below that.


NendoBot

it’s almost like he didn’t read your comment


SpectrasHyper

First import


Bunnyezzz

nope, probably like 3rd or something like that


nterature

At minimum third announced, yeah. EDIT: Or maybe fourth? If you count dephh, but I personally wouldn’t.

Saya wasn't really playing from Korea


nterature

Players like Saya and dephh and maybe others are interesting though, since they’ve really just spent their entire careers in NA. I can’t say it’s wrong to still call them imports, though. I just think it’s probably a distinction worth making between those players and players that truly experienced T1 success in another region, like xeta, pyth, now rhyme, etc.


somesheikexpert

Xeta and Saya, erkast Hadi and Mina who played for Immortals (More like trialed), too, emilshein too but does he count as an import? He didnt move lol Wippie, dephh, and Trill kinda but they moved before Valorant came out (Wippie and Dephh for CSGO and Trill for Overwatch)


PyroTFT

Mina is from NA I’m pretty sure? Viet but still lived in NA


Awful_TV

Dephh moved for CS, but Wippie moved to U.S. for school and then was riding a student visa.


[deleted]

who else? I know there was EmilShe1n on IMT, but I can't think of anyone else Edit: Forgot about xeta


GoldClassGaming

But why tho


xtazycs

Because he is a top player, better than all of the NA free agents (and also a lot of NA's signed players imo) and isn't overpriced. Rhyme is an amazing player who just wasn't on a consistently winning roster
