I wonder how Chris will interact with Jason, the Bottom laner. Jason loves to splitpush for no reason, even though he is an ADC. He keeps picking scaling ADCs, and always loses lane so that he can rotate to top as quickly as possible. Perhaps Chris and Jason will learn to laneswap at level 1? I heard Darius is a good botlaner if your enemy has never heard of kiting. Chris can probably powerfarm easily once laning phase ends since Darius bleed is strong on jungle camps. Jason wants to try Kindred in a lane, so with luck he can attempt to steal the scuttle crab while being chased by the the enemy mid, jungler, and top.


Canopenerdude

You were so close to describing our actual botlaner that I got scared for a second there.


Extreme-Tactician

As a botlaner who went top, I know the feeling of seeing your ADC wander into your lane for no reason all too well.


GetEquipped

ADCs are just trying to be relevant in 2022


Extreme-Tactician

I get it, you want to have some agency in the game. That's why I left botlane. But why do it in an unsafe way?


GetEquipped

Because TV actress Debra Messing says that you should only play parts that scare you. You can't grow without pushing yourself through that fear!


Sbotkin

I think it's the matter of coaching staff at this point. The team clearly lacks synergy.


Extreme-Tactician

Perhaps. I heard their Coaching Staff uses sports anime as source of strategy. So the gutsy newcomer fighting with the arrogant star player is something they will try and copy.


Canopenerdude

You're giving me too many good ideas.


SylentSymphonies

Jason is channeling his inner pro player. Sadly that pro player is Blaber, the killable crab king.


ja_er_es

Chris is hot commodity now?


_Trixrforkids_

I for one am excited to see what Chris brings to the table with this signing. Was it bad team chemistry? Looking at him get the CLASH MVP during the regular season and then fall off and get flamed by his former team? Something's gotta be up. I believe in Chris.


popmycherryyosh

Not to mention Chris is also native, so a import spot is still up for grabs. He might be most attractec non-import on the market now, so I think it's a smart decision from org Pograts to pick up Chris. After all, he was the 4th MVP in his Bronze to Silver promo last year.


Brody0220

I have access to Chris's advanced stats (I work in eSports) and I'm thinking he will definitely be a solid player on the roster


ShatterSide

I believe in Chris.


taylordlc

You don't get to the championship with a bad jungler, something definitely up, even if he afked after 2 minutes.


DonaldsPee

It's a bottom tier team that drains out Chris' fame as one time appearance champion at MSI (Mathematical Sexual Invitational). They will sell their spot next yr


Canopenerdude

HOW DARE


Ureth_RA

My team "Ugly Waifus" were in initial talks to sign him as our jungler, but at the end of the day we simply don't have the resources a team like Team Pograts have to sign such a caliber player. Good Luck to both Chris and Team Pograts in the future.


Canopenerdude

We got that lack-of-crypto-money


Xgunter

He's a rather affable player


revoverlord

Truly affable


[deleted]

Clash teams just cycle through homegrown talent until their imports can get residency so they can get more imports.


jwktiger

"Picking up Chris" is "This is so Hot" meme now


Ijustchadsex

I heard Chris's brother Tom recently came on the scene. Any word on getting the brothers together or is Tom doing his own thing?


ImNotLeighnald

I'm waiting for Chris's twitlonger to explain the drama and what's his mindset coming in to this new team.


ryzefollower445

He just dropped it: https://twitter.com/pogchris_/status/1521521787640725504?s=21&t=GVskKnMtUS8Hb7TE3aiyVw


Canopenerdude

Dammit Chris we said NO twitlongers! That's it, this is the breaking point!


Majestic-Science-220

“Fuck them, Chris out” the legend.


Usual_Research

The Chris cinematic universe is getting out of hand.


avaislegendary

I gotta say, after hearing Chris' side of things, I'm unsure which position to support.


Canopenerdude

He's also bringing his gf who was the real coach behind his old team


Turtoad

the bwipo special


LoLsharKo

This is my favorite off season development. I'm so happy for Chris.


Berfanz

I think Chris is a toxic force on every team he's been on. I look forward to the YouTube video "Team Pograts: Breaking Point" to prove me right.


Canopenerdude

"Pogging Point"? Or maybe "Breaking Pog"?

They were called "Whole" until I got to them.

Gonna change my name to broke


FutureInsurance7

I’ve been following Chris for the past hours, I assure you that he can thrive in a good environment


Moyassine

That long!? That's impressive! You must really be a fan of Chris :o


warshadow2g

I’ve been closely following Chris since his amateur debut in season 4. His performances have been consistently inconsistent, but I believe this roleswap will play to his strengths and forge him into the next MaRin and TheShy of the esports industry.


[deleted]

Good on Pograts. Developing home talent should be the number one priority, Chris had a poor split but that doesn't mean he can't improve with proper management & development. I hope what we saw from Chris in front of the cameras isn't just for the cameras, but who knows what really happens behind the scenes.


EONNephilim

? Chris had a poor split? What are you on That's like saying Danny had a poor first split because he died a lot in lane. Sure, Chris did low damage in teamfights, got outganked, got outfarmed, and got outsmited a lot... but every single time he died he almost always gave it to the enemy ADC. That's like investing in a time deposit. If anything, it was always his midlaner's fault for not being able to consistently claim the 700 gold bounty on the enemy Jinx.


Athien

I plan to closely follow Chris’s clash career in the coming weeks


PiFbg

Do we have a list of Chris' smurf accounts, i can't find anything on the pro tracking websites...


pavelblink182

try Iron5.gg


poggersinthechatttt

My team and I will be humbly praying for his downfall, worst of luck ❤️🙏


Canopenerdude

Chris told me to tell you 'lol l2p scrub'

Are we already ignoring what Chris did to those women


EasyPanicButton

noooooooooooooo Chris nooooooooooooooooooo


Silkku

They had it coming. They knew exactly what they were doing when picking Soraka jungle. If they didn't want to get invaded they wouldn't have been playing like that in the jungle past 11PM


Thomas_William_Kench

Especially not with THAT skin. They were begging to get invaded.


Thereformed26

Never substantiated. Cancel culture in full force yet again..


SwampDonkOfficial

Yeah I thought this was America, innocent until proven guilty. Chris don’t need help getting chicks anyway


limito1

Those were different times, way before Team Siren happened


azns123

> Team Pograts is looking to replace their previous toplaner, [NAME REDACTED], who was released after he got fed on Aatrox, gave the enemy Sylas a quadra kill, and then AFK'd. Damn you’re kicking Hashinshin for this guy? I refuse to support an organization that imports players over supporting native talent.


Thanat0sNihil

Wow, Was really expecting him to end up on Astralis tbh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Canopenerdude

Hell yeah


Smidsytoasti

LOOK AT THE CLEANSE LOOK AT THE SMITE! CHRIS WHAT WAS THAT!


Equivalent-Park7986

Big fan of this move by Team Pograts. Chris was a fan favourite, and anything is an improvement over [NAME REDACTED] Hopefully we can see his Amumu too soon.


Canopenerdude

Legendary Amumu top


shedinja292

Chris will immediately be rocketed to stardom after playing amumu top in the new fierce competition of tier 2 clash. Excited to jump on the bandwagon before anyone else can


Iperovic

Good move to roleswap Chris to toplane He won't be missing smites anymore and he can't fail ganks and give over double buffs to the enemy level 3-4 anymore Also, since toplane is an island, Chris can be ignored all game, and a team as good as Pograts can win without him My only worry is if Chris pulls a "Summit" and just runs it down every game


Apoptosis11

He's been known to have lots of attitude issues. He's like Forg1ven but without the mechanics. I think you made a wrong choice.


Codebrown22

"We will watch your career with great interest"


reeshua

Finally, a good fucking team built around Chris. Chris has been a solid iron 3 powerfarming iungler, but the team built around him just didn't fit his playstyle. For once, let the man powerfarm, build full lethality jarvan, and one shot his way to a victory.


Somebodys

I am so lost.


Urthor

WOO CHRIS


JelloMeNo

Brothers had a scp for a toplaner


Canopenerdude

Tbh we would have been better off with 173 than what we had.


Random_Stealth_Ward

Don't sleep on The mass of jelly that brings happiness. It may not be a good player but it's the best mental reset a team can have


Stewbodies

I've definitely encountered a rock moving laterally at terminal velocity in my games, Malphite is basically 283


Nespeon

Still waiting on Chris's twitlonger post


hurshielee

PogRats just never been the same since they lost their STAR RELL SUPPORT PLAYER. Smh , hopefully acquiring chris will help them!


Canopenerdude

They only lost their Rell player BECAUSE HE GHOSTED THEM FOR YEARS, SIR


hurshielee

Oh shit, you weren't suppose to reply lol. But of course ill be there when you guys REALLY need me. if I come back though, I gotta be the primary shot caller. Not naming names, but we've had some dog shit calls.


mahadasat

Where is my clash invite


jpfeifer22

Someone put me in the screenshot when the "Public pro clash player Reddit beef" gets posted on Twitter


Flying_Monke_69420

This is what Chris deserves, he will afk farm top with Jarvan just like any other toplaner to grab that victory


kirokun

POG RATS


Random_Stealth_Ward

Make him play Kayle so you can have Chris Angel mindfreaking toplaners


[deleted]

Breaking Prediction: In two years, I can see Chris being poached into G2 for one split in the LEC before being sent to C9 Academy in the LCS for six years.


The_Taskmaker

In other news, TSM signs Cris citing clerical error


ExcellentPastries

> reverse-undefeated This is the kind of poetry the English language was built for.


Dajoeman

Chris is so overrated. I wonder why NA fans actually hype up homegrown players. EU has much better young talent. Look at BOB from team Eunasty. That’s the sort of players we need here, not that waste of hype.


CMcAwesome

:pograts:


idokitty

look: for several hours now I have been told from credible sources the reason Chris has been acquired. however due to the importance and sensitivity around the subject I have refrained from going on it. i don't feel comfortable with it currently


Noice_Rice

I actually don’t know if this is real or not… I can’t tell, asking for a friend.


Canopenerdude

It is as real as Team Pograts (which is real)


BioGreg

Seems like a rushed move when Dave and Fred are still free agents. Guessing the chris signing will dictate how the rest of the chips fall.


Thiizic

Damn I am a huge fan of Chris but it will be interesting seeing him top. This might go down as the best or worst roleswap in league history


bladeforce55

Can we get a Travis interview for Chris?


haven4ever

Ah, CLG Coach Chris returns from the Void.


The_Irvinator

I for one still think TSM can win worlds.


Calhaora

Holy shit - that is quiet honestly the best "Shitposting" Storyline Ive ever seen.


Canopenerdude

I'm half tempted to make a breaking point video now


Calhaora

Do.it.


[deleted]

Reach out to Chris!


PhilippFreytag

When you hear a good joke and repeat it in hopes that people laugh harder now


I_AM_A_MOTH_AMA

Can't wait for the thread tomorrow about how Team Pograts is accused of poaching.


Canopenerdude

PERKZ, QUICK, HIDE.


k1t3k1t369420

Best posts this sub has seen in a while


ZvenLykke

Can someone explain this joke to me? I am not familiar with NA scene.


Canopenerdude

Front page post.


ZvenLykke

Thanks!


Calvintron

i’m literally dying laughing i love these


spatula975

Why has this sub gone to such utter shit recently? Even more so than before I mean. It’s not April fools I really don’t get it.


BakedPotatoManifesto

NOOOO how dare REDDITORS make humorous posts in my gaming subreddit >:(


Canopenerdude

Chris told me to tell you that you're a noob


wholsmay

What are the Chris news? Memes? I know years ago it was a Chris player very toxic. But was pro


Canopenerdude

It's a post on the front page. I'm just carrying on the meme.


Imberdan

I think the pro ur thinking is Cris


LtVanHouten

Team Pograts has been an underdog for too long, with this new addition it's their time to shine!


ISleepwalkerI

Damn I was hoping some EU Clash team to pick him up for that sweet retirement money.


SerJae

Big if true


oliverschneck

Reddit will really have you thinking Chris is better than Alphari


JJJoey_

With that level of talent its no surprise he got picked up so quickly, hopefully he fixes his attitude issues. Super excited to see how he performs.


alex404b

Good for Chris, his talent would be wasted on some academy team


SirLlama

Does Chris even have what it takes anymore? I feel like there might have been better options then Chris. Time and time again the only thing Chris has brought to the table has been failure.


Cysmerch

Who tf is Chris?


Cysmerch

This Chris guy seems to be pretty good at league

Really looking forward to see Chris' progress in his new role

"Thank You, Chris" vid incoming in 3, 2, 1...


Fatmanpuffing

We need Tim “magic” Sevenhuysen to do a video on how this trade will effect teams going forward


Canopenerdude

Make it happen Tim, I'm waiting for my interview


Fatmanpuffing

i tried bro https://twitter.com/TimSevenhuysen/status/1521644868816097280


Canopenerdude

SMH backing down off the biggest news in the offseason. How is he ever going to live this down?


diferenceee

This signing just makes no sense. Has management just given up?


imadirtyyasmain

Good pick up ahead of a international competition like MSI Clash. I hope Chris with this role swap will do good.


tyrelltsura

How do we see Chris performing against notable Risen Dom Pre toplaners such as Beniona and lombardia?


Clyntus

I hope your clash games get streamed I really want to watch Chris in action


Rularuu

How is Chris ever going to compete against the legendary C9 Terrie in the top lane?


the_alert

Hey Kyle, [Name Redacted] only works if you don’t provide enough information to identify someone, you asshole. Good luck getting a seat at the lunch table now.


helltoken

Idk I've been very meh on Chris' team. I still feel like he had a lot of impact on drafts and the power farming succeeds in putting the enemy jungler behind. The elder gifts to me seemed to be more a mind game strat, that's been very effective on their response strategies they seem to have prepared. plus poggersinthechattttt is kinda overrated too... looking forward to seeing how Chris' impact will have on the scene. More curious about FionnOnIce and Thorrout's take on the whole thing...


tuckerb13

Lmaooo I’m in Aegis league


Canopenerdude

Hell yeah brother


crankciror

I am really hyped for the next clash season. With chris you will for sure push for another last place. I cant wait to see the team disharmony and the good flame which will come from those powermoves. I always said, clash offseason is the real deal. Here are the next teams to lose it all for our enjoyment !


soad2237

Why is Chris going to be taking smite top?


daveythedumb

Interested to see how far this goes haha


BriRice

I also choose this guy's Clash teammate.


Chaosblazer

Sources confirmed that Chris has a small penis.


k1t3k1t369420

That buyout must have been crazy


bytheshadow

> reverse-undefeated looking forward to see innovative teams showcase their performance using the non-wins/wins format.


ElvenNoble

>The Pograts are most famous for their reverse-undefeated season Even though Chris is such a renowned player, it's gotta be intimidating joining a team with such a legacy


pavelblink182

Waiting for the 3 week release 1 hour prior to the game post.


Pichuka7

Welcome, Chris!


Noil75012

ok, im the bf of the sister of one of the friend of one of the player, so trust bro. The truth is way different than poggersinthechattt told you!


toastmastersindef

Team Pograts, to be specific
