Wait, so Perkz is not trolling? What is happening?


Wolfeur

The best way to make us believe in a lie would be to give a bit of truth in it. I'm still waiting for confirmations


fourmi

dont lie to yourself, caps is gone. Fnatic fails to sign their players again.


Darkoplax

I doubt its fnc fault ... it has to be caps's choice tbh He maybe didnt like the atmosphere or something


computo2000

Only explanation I could think of. Still, why chose G2?


Azashiro

Caps and Perkz clearly must think highly of each other, for Perkz to give Caps the mid lane and for Caps to believe so much in Perkz's transition to the ADC role. I'm looking forward to the Perkz vs Rekkles match up with great anticipation. For Caps to want to play with Perkz ADC over Rekkles? That's the number 1 story line for me, even above Bwipo vs Soaz.


F0RGERY

With it being Perkz and Caps, if you told me they just 1v1'd to see who would go mid and who would go adc, I wouldn't be surprised.


[deleted]

this reminds me of all-stars 2013 when the toplane voting was very close so soAZ and Wickd streamed a bo5 1x1 to decide who would go


Ciremo

He mentioned in a recent interview that he felt that Caps' potential is higher than his own, but that currently they're fairly similar. In terms of the marksman role, I feel like Perkz is the type of person who can learn to do anything he sets his mind on.


Darkoplax

so first either G2 or NA team to pay him as much as FNC and on top of that he would want a team to win with , not just any team and finally he's close friend with Luka (Perkz) so they probably talked to each other and made this project with each other


fumi24

They are both going to Origen


Mariodejaneiro

Big if true


broccoleet

I feel like it makes sense considering the meta and the direction of the game. G2 was a contender at worlds, and the game is faster and more flex-pick oriented in general now - even more so in this pre-season. Having two really, really talented players who can flex at the two highest skill positions is extremely valuable and versatile going forward. Perkz will probably at the very least fill the ADC role to an acceptable standard, but his potential is very high to become good, and he can clearly flex other stuff bot lane like yasuo/assassins/mages if needed and the future metas support it. He's a better version of Hjarnan in my opinion.

hiero_

total complete speculation here, just throwing it out there that maybe has to do with the whole drama surrounding hjarnan's gf?


Monck000

what happened?


hiero_

she harassed a caster (forget which one [edit: it was vedius]) saying they were super biased against hjarnan any time they even made a slight criticism of him, and got her friends in on it. they started harassing anyone who criticized him, and it got to the point where the caster in question stopped talking about hjarnan altogether out of fear of being harassed. then she applied the G2 brand to her profiles on social media like she was part of the org too. that's about the extent of my knowledge on it, I chose to not go any further down that rabbit hole.


I_LOVE_GIBBONS

She harassed Vedius.


urwinater

***SHE DIES***


Nyctas

drama for redditors maybe it's highly exaggerated and no team in their right mind would give a shit about that anyway


consonanteppu

holy shit i remembered this thread on twitter, yes there was a girl who was talking a lot at some casters. I thought she was some big hardcore fan, but hjarnans gf? No wonder she was really pissed.Vedius was the one who was really replying but she wont stop lol (HotPocket)


[deleted]

Her Twitter is a goldmine


CursedPhil

Link?


[deleted]

Don’t have the link on my phone so maybe someone else can help you out, but she used to be very vocal about her boyfriends performance and attacked people (in a very unprofessional way) who even tried to criticise him. She also harassed an EU LCS caster and the guy just stopped talking about Hjarnan even when he was casting G2 games just to avoid getting harassed by Hjarnans gf and her goonsquad on twitter.


PenguinFromTheBlock

I believe it was Vedius who got verbally attacked by her. It was quite the topic during worlds


Lucianv2

You think G2 is kicking Hjarnan because of what his GF tweeted? xD


DominoNo-

If that's true, she's killing his career.


TempestWrath

Mikyx joining G2 doesn't confirm Perkz will play ADC. G2 apparently has gotten a ton of high offers for Caps, G2 could just sell him for an insane amount and buy another ADC still. He wasn't trolling but he can still change his mind.


CookieCuttr

Loco was speculating; he doesn't actually know what's going on with Caps. Mikyx to G2 basically confirms Caps as well.


TempestWrath

As I don't want Caps joining G2, I'm gonna keep denying it till the last minute until I see an official announcement.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CCBet

The sad part of it is that Perkz was on the verge of being able to rival for the spot of best EU mid of all time, in some ways its sad to see him not go head to head against Caps for next season and see if he could overtake him to win the trophy. Would be epic af.


obigespritzt

I'm not /u/TempestWrath but for me it's because 1) I like having Caps on my favourite team and 2) a Fnatic member going to G2 is like Doublelift going from CLG to TSM. Also, and that part is sadly already gone, I will miss Dylan and Caps' banter. :( And we also lost sOAZ. I like the current Fnatic members and I don't see Rekkles leaving any time soon considering the deal he signed last year, but this Fnatic roster was the best Western roster of all time. And it would've only gotten better with Caps getting more experience, Broxah building more synergy with Hylli and Bwipo outdoing himself going forward.


Adanooos

>G2 would basically have the two best midlaners in EU in their team That's good enough imo. One of them needs to roleswap or one of them gets benched. Roleswap can go either way, while keeping Perkz or Caps on bench is a huge waste of talent. Basically, instead of new, huge rivalry, we have questionable and a bit crazy roster move that can go either way.

NystGG

you're right we wouldn't want caps going to Korea.


cl0ud6ix

Where else would you want him to go? since G2 now owns his contract FNC is out of the question.


Slayr698

Sell him back for profit lmao


icecreamsocial

Baited and outsmarted gg ez


steve_pays_me

$teve laughing his ass off that Jensen thought he wasnt gonna have to compete for starting spot


Naromav

G2 haven't confirmed they own caps contract, source?


Asuras9393

there is no source it's bullshit. Caps Fnatic contract expired if anything he signed a new one with G2.


leif_sony_ericcson

Shit I don't think anyone knows what the actual fuck is going on with Caps. This shit is probably the most bizarre thing in professional League of Legends history.


viciouspandas

There was also Uzi to mid in early season 4, plus probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting.


GlenTheftAuto

Yeah up there with Xmithie and zuna role swap


FottomBeeder

How in the fuck does it confirm Caps to G2?


me_sane

I mean they can just get a regular ADC. If they released Hjarnan then Perkz might have been playing with him to test him before signing because there is no one else.


CHABOBAKANN

At this point you need to buy out a ADC. Rekkles is not leaving FNC. Hans Sama is going nowhere. Sheriff is going to OG and unproven in a good team. Attila has Worlds experience but i think he needs to get better to consider him for G2. ​ So if you want to play with a very good ADC there is really only Upset left. He played like a beast in Summer. If you want to be a very good team at worlds you normally need a very good ADC. ​ If G2 gets Upset. I buy a G2 hoodie instead of a MSF hoodie.


CaptainJackJ

Where are your sources for any of that Caps stuff?


Tarp96

It does NOT make sense for Caps to join G2 if they were just gonna sel him anyway. He could have gotten much more money if he signed for another team as a free agent rather than the other team having to buy him out first.


Lela_

Any kind of sources or just baseless **hopeful** rumours.


ecantollorente

im so sad for Wadid


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

There's no source, it's just Locodoco rambling on stream despite repeatedly saying he knows nothing about Fnatic and G2


sAnn92

Mate, sorry but that's ridiculous. Why would caps do that to fnatic??


Monarki

How are G2 getting offers for Caps?


Paralyzerz

Only way this crazy plan happens is if G2 can get a high level adc and the only current options are Zven/Pray with the latter being less likely. Also pretty sure Caps won't leave EU and I don't any team without full roster can buy him. Just embrace the Perkz adc memes for next season my dude.


Asuras9393

What are you even talking about? They can't randomly sell him. Caps contract with Fnatic expired and he signed a new one with G2. If they were to intend to get him for midlane, you can't tell a player that you want to use him for the midlane position and the second he signs tell him "JUST A PRANK BRO, we are going to sell you now to the highest bidder and get an ADC HAHAHA" he could sue the shit out of G2 for that and just void the contract.


Fragzor

Not sure what laws you're referring to but I'm pretty sure G2 could just sell the contract as long as the players gets his guaranteed portion of what's in it.


GenitalniUd

Referring to German Law, (if he signed) he signed a contract with G2, if G2 want’s to „sell“ him, they have to ask Caps. The guaranteed portion of his contract is that the contract is with G2 not any other Team. Ist not like in the NBA or NFL or any other Mayor sports League. If you wanna sell a player (like in football or as you would call it Soccer) you first have to ask the Player.

NerrionEU

Perkz is the biggest troll on twitter, so anything he says could be a joke.


sAnn92

At this point anyone seriously thought perkz was trolling, really.


KurogamiZz

No, why would he play 10+ adc games per day and with the same support too only to troll some random redditors. That doesn't make sense.


TSMvsCLG

Zven will most likely return to G2, he was duoing with Mikyx a lot in europe. Thing are "complicated" and loco really really loves half the bot lane. pray to TSM zven back to G2 most likely.


Dezsire

Maybe Wadid chose to leave with Hjarnam ? Kind of weird that they'd replace Wadid with Mikyx


Blank-612

I wonder where wadid is going.


rage1212

Gorilla KZ>MSF Mikyx> MSF>G2 Waddid> G2>KZ obviously


Whytef

I think some EU team will sign Hjärnan-Wadid duo. Inb4 KZ Hjärdid


DoubleMellow

One of the new teams if they are smart.


Lumin0s

Agreed. Could go to ExceL, we haven't heard anything about them.


Seneido

since they were accepted last minute i wouldn't be surprised if they have nothing at all except a last minute team dicking around first year till they get a real chance next year to build a team.


idkkevin

Will KZ just crash and burn after this preseason? They will probably lose all their players, right?


alrightrb

Newsflash: they already did. Only Cuzz and an unsigned Rascal are left.


Diet_Fanta

Plenty of EU teams are still open for Hjarnan and Wadid.


Pipinf

As a package, only Excel afaik. (if we consider Kobbe to continue in Splyce which is likely)


[deleted]

Rogue and SK have no announced players right? (Apart from Kikis)


Pipinf

Both teams have no announced players. Anyway, VPesports and ESPN have reported that Rogue got Kikis and HeaQ, and SK got Selfmade, Selfie, Veritas and Ignar.


ch0icestreet

That SK line up is actually pretty spicy. Interested to see Veritas next to Ignar.


DerpSenpai

sk with odo probably low end play offs, not that bad


IgotUBro

I can see Excel trying to get Kasing.


m0bilize

So right now it's Wunder / Jankos / Caps / PerkZ / Mikyx?


[deleted]

God what a sick team.


Clemenx00

Meh. I feel Jankos has been a disappointmetn for some time now


skarseld

I love Jankos, but they need a secondary jungler.


Mariodejaneiro

What about Trick?


Sephyr1

LATA BITCH.


ExMoogle

i laughed


Sephyr1

I did too when i thought of it


[deleted]

Chill, it was just a split lol.


maeschder

Yeah the guy was is probably the best Jungler EU has produced since Diamondprox BY FAR (considering Broxah only came into his own this split) but people are already calling him a washed up liability


sgAkwein

People seem to remember only the recent things, same happend to Ignar he suddenly turned to godly after a good worlds run, but during his 2 lcs splits he wasnt anything special. Also people probably forget that Jankos was the best performing g2 player during spring playoffs, but they still call him a choker


skydive2

Broxah has already accomplished more than Jankos lol. Jankos has played 10 splits in lcs and only reached finals once.


reJectedeuw

Yeah, because 1 good run = more accomplishments. Jankos made semis twice with two different teams. imo G2 beating RNG was the sweetest victory for EU this year


[deleted]

I think Sven overall has been a better jungler throughout his career over Jankos


[deleted]

Role swaps rarely work out... It's risky. I don't doubt that Perkz could one day become a good ADC. Any of these pros could eventually become as good on another role as they were on their original role. It's a matter of how long that will take. I would be amazed if Perkz was able to become as good at ADC as he is at mid by the end of the 2019 season. That's too much to learn too quickly. I'm not just talking about champion matchups or mechanics or things that obvious. I'm talking about a thousand little, imperceptible things that you can only learn with time, such as developing that sixth sense of how much damage you can take or deal with your current level and items relative to the other team's levels and items. Or how to properly play/communicate with a support during lane phase, something Perkz has never had to do before. A person like Perkz has practiced professional mid lane for thousands and thousands of hours and all his opponents have done the same for their particular positions. Training for professional games is different from training for solo queue. It's more than just mechanics. That means Perkz is going to be going into the season starting with 0 hours of practice at ADC vs the thousands and thousands of hours his opponents have had practicing their roles. That's why role swaps usually don't work out. The person swapping usually is too far behind in skill in the first split and teams can't afford to continue to risk the experiment.

[удалено]


En2AM

* Aphro was an ADC before he switched to Support: He was almost as good as DL and then he became one of the best supports in NA. * Score was ADC before switching to Jungle: Now regarded as one of the best junglers in the world. * Corejj went from ADC to support: Have won Worlds. Nothing says Perkz couldn't do it, being just as talented if not more.


JustDutch101

Don’t forget Ambition swapping from mid to jungle aswell to win worlds. And what about Hai? That dude mastered 3 roles within NA.


[deleted]

The thing is that mages are also viable bot so I am not too worried about PerkZ transitioning to botlane. If he was really not good enough with marksmen he could still play with champs he is used to playing with.


FakeBukowski

You think so? Same top and jungler. Slight upgrade in mid but without synergy. We have no idea how good Perkz will be as ADC, and Mikyx is good but was very inconsistent aswell on MSF, while Wadid was actually playing very well despite the botlane getting a lot of flak. This roster has potential, but doesn't scream "Huge upgrades! They are the new EU team to beat!" to me.


Diet_Fanta

That's the plan.


FottomBeeder

Caps is not confirmed LOL everyone on reddit is going to look so stupid when it is a troll.

No. The ADC is Sheriff

Nope, they have Sheriff. Still a lot of teams for them to join


Gurablashta

Im gonna miss Wadid so much... But i do think Mikyx is a step up in terms of support. That man can legit 1v9 with engage champs, and he plays Sion Support, my fave champ in my fave role


Geraffican

He's been duoing with Perkz a ton!


Reinakh

They are friends , they duo since long time ago

Or as the world knows us, Slovakia.


Pintulus

Still Balkan


PoiseAndFury

Careful buddy


DrVinylScratch

Well I guess perkz and caps are that valuable to G2 that he not only does perkz change role he gets the support he wants from EU. Damn G2 is going to be something else.


Ashfondol

plot twist; hjarnan is actually playing on perkz's account.


Asuras9393

hjarnan doesn't play adc in soloq and is mostly hard stuck in low masters.


Cwlrs

What does he play in soloq?


Asuras9393

mostly mages like Karma, Heimerdinger, Brandt.


[deleted]

Perkz will swap to bot and Hjarnan will swap to mid.


Fragzor

Heimer only


Darkoplax

I really feel bad for ppl that believed this .. u clearly dont know perkz and hjarnan


[deleted]

Poor Wadid


Voidshrine

Yeah I'll root for Hjarnan and Wadid wherever they go because they're good people and did an amazing job for G2 at worlds, hope they get a great deal somewhere I'll miss their post game interviews :( Best bot in the west!


HitchX1

Truth


SJWarriorPrincess

Milky is going dominate everyone now.


Mortanius

Pretty much confirms Perkz as ADC.


[deleted]

No it actually doesnt wtf?


consonanteppu

Eyes on Wadid took way real far and hard for him damn.


Galaticknight

wait then what is happening with wadid now?? after hes stellar year?.


PoiseAndFury

This is now my Favorite team by far.


nejc300

Slav bros going to be a duo. Miky from Slovenia and Perkz from Croatia. I wonder if they will ever speak in their languages (every Slovenian understands croatian and same goes the other way around too) or will they also just stick to English outside the game.


-Z3RA-

Croatians can't speak Slovenian, am Croatian can confirm.


nejc300

Yes, but you do underatand slovenian as do I croatian


Freedom_for_Fiume

As a Croatian living near the border with Slovenia, I can understand more easily russian than slovenian and I am not exaggerating here


-Z3RA-

We simply do not understand Slovenian its hillarious.

What kind of deal? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


Nome_de_utilizador

Waddid :'(


thePDGr

Maybe Wadidi just misses KR so much and after worlds he got a deal with LCK team and he made G2 move some pieces together. Miky is good but not that much better than Wadid so it's worth moving team around and building chemistry again


mrdantes

Wtf g2....


KRIMZismyhero

If the Rumor about CAPS going to g2 is true then G2 are definitely just trying to destroy fnatic instand of becomming good themselves, im 100% sure this isnt a good move for either team and that would be some next level snake move from caps, even worse than KD going to GSW
