168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends team Immortals will be benching their entire roster, opting to start their Academy lineup going into Week 3. The team has had a rough stretch, losing all four of their games to start the 2020 LCS Summer Spliꦏt.
Earlier in the week, the organization announced that they would parting ways with League of Legends head coach Thomas "Zaboutine" Si-Hassen and general manager Keaton Cryer🃏. Immor🌳tals finished last split with a meager 8-10 record, failing to live up to the expectations set with their veteran roster.
Although the move may seem drastic, the Academy lineup consists of LCS veteran names such as Jake "Xmithie" Puchero in the jungle, Apollo "Apollo" Price as the AD carry and Nickolas "Hakuho" Surgent on support duties. Top laner Kieran "Allorim" Logue and mid laner David "In꧑sanity" Challe round out the team's new starting lineup.
Among those getting benched include legendary top laner Paul "sOAZ" Boyer, mid laner Jérémy "Eika" Valdenaire and bot laner Johnny "Alte🎶c" Ru.🍨 The team has faced massive struggles just two weeks into the Summer Split, losing games to FlyQuest, Counter Logic Gaming, Team SoloMid and 100 Thieves. The latter three of those teams have all struggled themselves.
The Ac🗹ademy roster is coming into the LCS after going 3-3 in their matches in the ꦚAcademy league thus far.
Immortals have faced plenty of criticism this split after making offseason changes to their roster, seemingly for the worse. The team 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:benched Xmithie ahead of Week 1, and sent long time bot lane partners Apollo and Hak꧃uho to Academy in favor of Altec and Austin "Gate" Yu.
It's currently unknown if the move will be for the foreseeable future, or just for their Week 3 matchups. The team will be facing Golden Guardians, who have started their summer 1-3, and the dominant Cl💜oud9 who are 🦂coming into the week undefeated. The organization is most likely waiting to see how their new starting lineup fares in their Week 3 matches before making a decision for the future.
Fans can watch Immortals compete against Golden Guardians and Cloud9 on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, live on Twitch and Youtube.
