View source for The Biggest League Of Legends Offseason Roster Moves Of 2020

<br><br><br><br>The 2020 [https://WWW.Leagueoflegendsportal.com/ League of Legends jungle guide] of Legends Spring Split has come and gone. Cloud9 won North America, G2 Esports won Europe's title, T1 took home the LCK Championship and JD Gaming won the honors in China's LPL. The split was a wild ride for fans and teams across the globe, from Konstantinos-Napoleon "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou controversially stepping down from FC Schalke 04 to Team Liquid benching Yiliang "Doublelift" Peng , to COVID-19 throwing a giant wrench into it all. <br><br><br>The off season has matched the regular season in the lunacy department thus far. With the disappointing news of the Mid-Season Invitational's cancellation , fans will have to wait until the Summer Split to see their favorite teams play again, and until Worlds to see any international competition. So how exactly have teams been shaping up to prepare for the next half of the season? [https://WWW.Leagueoflegendsportal.com/ over here]'s a breakdown of the biggest roster moves to happen so far. <br><br><br>Doublelift returning to Team SoloMid <br><br><br><br><br><br>In perhaps one of the biggest esports news drops of the year, Team Liquid shockingly traded franchise cornerstone Doublelift to Team SoloMid after a ninth-place finish in the LCS. Doublelift will be replacing Kasper "Kobbe" Kobberup as the team's starting AD carry through at least 2021. <br><br><br>This move should be an immediate upgrade for TSM, who suffered an early exit in the spring playoffs at the hands of Flyquest. Doublelift will be reuniting with former teammates Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg and Vincent "Biofrost" Wang, who Doublelift won three consecutive titles with from the summer of 2016 to the summer of 2017. <br><br><br>However, some are concerned that the new TSM roster is unbalanced. Both Doublelift and top laner Sergen "Broken Blade" Çelik are considered to be resource heavy players, and it's currently unknown how jungler Joshua "Dardoch" Hartnett will manage his teammates' needs. At any rate, TSM will look to challenge Cloud9 for the 2020 summer title and a chance to compete at Worlds. <br><br><br>Team Liquid Turns To Tactical <br><br><br><br><br><br>With Doublelift gone, Team Liquid have flipped their history book to a fresh, blank sheet, and they'll be turning to Edward "Tactical" Ra to help fill in the pages. Team Liquid had won four consecutive titles before Cloud9 won the 2020 Spring Finals, dominating North America for two straight years. <br><br><br>The organization's roster is still pretty similar to the one that won those four titles. Along with Tactical, the only different face is Mads "Broxah" Brock-Pedersen, who replaced Jake "Xmithie" Puchero in the jungle before the 2020 Spring Split. Team Liquid is still the stacked roster they were before, and Tactical's potential to become a homegrown star is a positive sign for the franchise. <br><br><br>Coach Jatt <br><br><br><br><br><br>Despite how insane it sounds, Team Liquid Jatt is a thing. Long-time broadcaster Joshua "Jatt" Leesman left the comforts of the analyst desk for the thrills of coaching on stage. <br><br><br>Not believing that they needed a revamping of their roster, Team Liquid opted for a change at the coaching position instead. Jatt has been around the game longer than anybody, and his game knowledge rivals that of any pro player. No one has as much of a passion for [https://WWW.Leagueoflegendsportal.com/ League of Legends top lane guide] of Legends than Jatt, but will he be able to turn the team around? Team Liquid will be counting on their new coach to wake up their struggling roster and only time will tell if he'll be able to. <br><br><br>Still No Word On Kobbe <br><br><br> via Riot Games <br><br><br>The person impacted the most by the Doublelift trade may be none other than Kobbe. The 23-year-old left his home in Europe to play for TSM at the end of last year. After just one split with the team, where he arguably was one of the best bot laners in the league, TSM replaced him with Doublelift. <br><br><br>It's an unfortunate situation for Kobbe, who took a major risk leaving his home to play in North America. It's currently unknown where the AD carry will wind up. He would usually have no issue finding another team, but with COVID-19, organizations are low on funds, and bringing in new players is an extremely difficult task with travel restricitions in place. <br><br><br>It's possible he plays for TSM's Academy squad, although his skill level as a player is well above Academy. It's also possible he goes back to Europe to play in the LEC. Either way, the Denmark native is still young and his future in esports is still bright. <br><br><br>Dignitas Drop Grig and Huni <br><br><br><br><br><br>After just barely missing out on a playoff spot, Team Dignitas made massive changes to their roster, dropping jungler Jonathan "Grig" Armao and top laner Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon. Matthew "Akaadian" Higginbotham will be stepping into jungle duties, while its currently unknown who will be playing top. <br><br><br>DIG came into the season with fairly high expectations, fielding a roster of grizzled veterans and up-and-coming rookie Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen. After the team benched Grig ahead of week 7 , Dignitas finished the disappointing season with Akaadian as their jungler. They did well with him, going 4-4, just barely missing out on the playoffs. <br><br><br>Although their situation may seem dire, Team Dignitas is in an okay position. Johnsun showed true potential as AD carry, and with veterans Henrik "Froggen" Hansen and Zaqueri "aphromoo" Black, Team Dignitas may be able sneak themselves into competition soon. <br><br><br>Perkz and Caps Role Swap... Again <br><br><br> via Riot Games <br><br><br>G2 Esports won yet another European title, and they did it after the role swap of Rasmus "Caps" Winther and Luka "Perkz" Perković. Lo and behold, the duo will be swapping roles again for the 2020 Summer Split. <br><br><br>G2 will still be one of the top teams in the world either way, but this move does represent their thirst for a Worlds championship title. The team is tired of winning split after split in Europe, and now they have their eyes set on Worlds 2020. <br><br><br>This offseason has definitely had its fun and crazy moments, but fans are ready to watch their teams get back to the action. With the Summer Split set to kick-0ff mid June, League of Legends fans will have to wait on the edge of their seats until then. <br><br><br>Next: Alinity Tells Twitter To Redirect Their Hate At Twitch <br>
