Team Curse completes 2015 roster

After moving David ‘Cop’ Robertson from the starter position on the main team to Curse Academy and re-signing the remaining four players to the main roster, rumors started circulating about a potential new marksman signing. Steve "LiquiD112" Arhancet told onGamers on September 24 that they made an offer to former SK Telecom T1 AD carry, Chae "Piglet" Gwang-jin. Riot CEO and co-founder, Brandon Beck, mentioned at the Riot Games press conference at the 2014 World Championship, a Team Curse roster move regarding a non-North American player that had not yet been announced. According to a Reddit translation, Gwang-jin spoke to his Afreeca stream regarding his move to America and Team Curse on October 19th. Curse officially announced Gwang-jin's signing on October 21st, marking Team Curse as the first complete 2015 North American roster.

　　

Fusion Gaming includes MakNooN & Huhi in NA, Nien to AD Carry, former LCS players Nintendude & Gleeb

Roster rumors surrounding Yoon "MakNooN" Ha-woon's arrival in America have slowly progressed over the last few weeks. Initial rumors had Ha-woon alongside former Coast jungler Josh "NintendudeX" Atkins, with former CLG top laner Zach "Nien" Malhas moving to the AD Carry position in this squad. Sources informed me that ex-Bigfile Miracle mid laner, Kim "Huhi" Seong-jin, and ex-Team SoloMid support Nicholas "Gleeb" Haddad were added to the squad and they would represent a new brand, Fusion Gaming. Fusion Gaming has posted pictures of the current team which only include Aktins and Haddad from the proposed lineup, but sources tell me the others are subs to help get Ranked 5s started until the other members arrive. Ha-woon, Malhas, and Seong-jin have been added to the Fusion Gaming Ranked 5s team, further proving that the "current" roster is just subs while the remaining players are on the way.

　　

Team SoloMid extends offer to Team Coast's Santorin

According to TheDailyDot's sources, Team SoloMid has made an offer to the Danish jungler, Lucas "Santorin" Tao Kilmer Larsen in hopes of replacing Maurice "Amazing" Stückenschneider who left the squad on October 11th. The source mentions that "Lucas really enjoys being with Team Coast but opportunities like this don't come along often." The biggest road block for this deal could be his current contract with Team Coast. Team Coast would likely have to come to an agreement on buyout terms with Team SoloMid if the deal is to go through.

LMQ General Manager, Alex Gu, announced last night via onGamers that Xiao "ackerman" Wang, Zhou "NoName" Qi-Lin and Li "Vasilii" Wei-Jun have chosen not to renew contracts with LMQ for 2015. Wang and Qi-Lin will attempt to find LPL teams back in China for 2015, while Wei-Jun is looking for a new team in the North American LCS. Yu "XiaoWeiXiao" Xian has opted to resign for another year with LMQ and Zhang "Mor" Hong-Wei is still in ongoing negotiations. A Weibo post from Wei-Jun informs us that he has opted out of another year with LMQ because of monetary problems within his immediate family.

　　

Counter Logic Gaming's Aphromoo future, ZionSpartan and Scarra rumored to join

CLG news has been pretty slow as of late with the only notable mention being Zaqueri "Aphromoo" Black told his stream chat that he may not being playing in 2015. Counter Logic Gaming has yet to announce any re-signings, leaving all 5 spots a mystery for now. For weeks, rumors surrounding former Team Dignitas top laner Darshan "ZionSpartan" Upadhyaha and coach William "Scarra" Li joining the squad have been well known.

　　

Team Dignitas' Odee state they have 5 in mind, announcement imminent

After announcements from both Darshan "ZionSpartan" Upadhyaha and Michael "imaqtpie" Santana, Team Dignitas has been left in a state of disarray. Support player, Alan "KiWiKiD" Nguyen, has stated that he is interested in returning to the squad, but has not been contacted about re-signing by the organization. Team Dignitas' General Manager, Michael "ODEE" O'Dell, posted in jungle Alberto "Crumbzz" Rengifo's stream chat late Tuesday night that the team has 5 players in mind and we could see an announcement as soon as contracts are signed. O'Dell announced via Twitter that he has signed two League of Legends players with hints of possible foreign players on the squad. Tweets included the word "Welcome" in both Chinese and Korean. It is likely that we see a team formed around current jungler Crumbzz and mid laner Danny "Shiphtur" Le with possible inclusions of LMQ players

　　

Evil Geniuses to bootcamp in Korea

Krepo has parted ways with Evil Geniuses and according to translations of a conversation Helios had with Shy on stream, the EG squad will be packing their bags for Korea and bootcamping for roughly a month starting in November and ending the following month. EG has been quiet thus far during the off-season and hasn't officially announced the re-signing of their squad.

Alex Ich abandons expansion tournament possibility

Alex Ich's project with Matthew "Impaler" Taylor was announced dead on Monday via Taylor's Twitter. On Wednesday Alex posted that he has decided not to try for the expansion tournament and will now focus on his stream and improving his skills instead, citing visa issues that could ruin the his team's chance. Likely we will hear(?) something out of Alex later on in 2015.

　　

nukeduck joining Roccat

Former Ninjas in Pyjamas mid laner, Erland "nukeduck" Vatevik Holm, is rumored to be joining Team ROCCAT following the end of his suspension from LCS and Challenger Series matches. The suspension runs until the end of 2014, so if the team opts to go with Holm we won't be hearing news until after the player is approved by Riot in early January.

　　

Rekkles vs Tabzz, the never ending fight for Alliance

The Martin "Rekkles" Larsson and Erik "Tabzz" van Helvert fight for the Alliance AD carry spot will likely exist for most of the off-season. Helvert mentions on his ask.fm that Larsson has been after his spot since the 2014 spring split. Larsson is currently on contract with Fnatic through 2015, so Alliance would have to come to an agreement on buyout terms for the young AD carry. It is clear that Larsson wants to join the Alliance squad, but Fnatic very likely wouldn't sell the player without a replacement plan in place.

WE Coach confirms that Ryu will play outside of Korea, not China

Rumors have been circulating that former KT Rolster player, Ryu “Ryu” Sang-ook, would be leaving his home country to join another region. China and America are the two hottest destinations for Korean players seeking a breath of life in their careers, as well as better deals than Korea. WE Coach, Lee “Hiro” Woo-suk confirms that Sang-ook will not be playing in China but another country. Very likely he is attempting a move to America to continue his career. Sang-ook has played both the mid and jungle roles over his time as a professional player, so he could be a good fit for many North American squads.

　　

EDward Gaming to pick up Deft, NaMeI to possibly go to WE

Reports of EDward Gaming replacing AD Carry Zhu “NaMeI” Jia-Wen with Samsung Blue’s Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu. News of Hyuk-kyu traveling to China for 2015 has spread quickly and he would likely join one of the top brands. With this rumor comes the possibility of Jia-Wen moving to WE. This seems like a logical step down from EDG and entirely possible but not much proof that it will happen is available.

　　

OMG replace supports

OMG has picked up a new support, Chen “Shinee” Yang, after using both Cloud and DaDa7 at the 2014 World Championships. Yang comes from AcFun e-Sports Club where he played under the tag xcy. Originally moving to the OMG organization under the OMG.2 squad, Yang is set to make his main squad debut at the NGF tournament this weekend. The support is known for his Braum play, so it will exciting to how he compares to the two previous players at the role.
