Foll𒁃owing the week of upsets, week 6 of LCS brings some interesting roster changes.
After losing four games in a row, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Evil Geniuses decides to start Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon and Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer. TSM decides to start Erik "Treatz" Wessén, sending Vincent "Biofr♕ost" Wang to the bench. Both teams started strong and are ho🔯ping to recover after disappointing weeks.
TSM is starting support Treatz from academy. The Swedish support has seen plenty of success in academy and many analysts have been praising his aggressive play. Coming into last week, TSM was tied for second place with Team Liquid. After going 0-2 and losing their second-place spot, the team wants to see more dominance coming from the bot-lane, especially after bringing in Peter "168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Doublelift" Peng.
This roster move continues the trend of teams giving academy players a shot on the big stage. Both 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Immortals and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:100 Thieves have seen success starting rookies and academy players. Expect TSM to draft and play around the bot-lane. TSM is playing a surging 100 Thieves and a struggling Flyquest this week. It🔥’s harder to predict how the team will do with Treatz because the roster move does not solve their other issues like the drafting phase.
EG starting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Goldenglue and benching Daniele "Jizuke" di Mauro completely changes the way the team plays. Previously, EG played around Jizuke’s aggression and split-push pressure while relying on Bang to carry the late game. Jizuke’s picks like Ekko and Twisted Fate were catalysts to EG’s success. Goldenglue is historically not that kind of player,💫 but Huni is. For EG to succeed, the team, and specifically Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen, need to transition their early attention from the mid-lane to the top-lane. After signing a record-breaking contract, saying Huni’s play did not meet expectations is an understatement. Dignitas let the World’s ꧑finalist go before the start of the summer split. Regardless, EG’s success will rely on Huni’s success. Unlike Huni, Goldenglue was not signed to the team until earlier this week. Do not expect the team to play around the newly signed mid-laner. EG play and Cloud 9 this week. Unless the team magically turns their troubles around with this roster, expect another 0-2 week.
