It's definitely a weird dynamic. Like Bjergsen and Doublelift should definitely be the passengers on this team. Theoretically this team needs to enable Tenacity to pressure lane, and Busio will need to leave lane to make plays with Closer early. Also in the botlane, it'll probably be about Doublelift keeping up with Busio in lane and not the other way around lol.
Bjergsen at least makes sense, he's had a year now to get back into form. I don't get why any team trying to win would even consider DL, and that's as a fan. My man plays so little league that he decayed from challenger to diamond, yet he's playing pro in less than 2 months from now? I'm assuming they got unforgiven in academy as back up in case DL is very clearly washed and isn't working out. Still feels like a strange decision from 100T to take the risk though considering FBI was better than DL even in 2020 when he hadn't taken 2 years off pro play.
I've been OOTL for a while. Last I heard, DL stole money from teammates and essentially fled the country. Was that somehow resolved or did everyone forget about it..?
Bjerg has a lot of doubters right now, and I don't blame those people. But (as a biased 100T fan) this roster design has me super hyped. Busio and Tenacity are young talented players and surrounding them with veterans seems like a recipe for success!
Doublelift and Bjerg back together is gonna be so much fun. Really excited for double/busio botlane. Hoping DL can reach too form again and be a good influence on Busio
Would be insane if DL gets back into 2019 form and guides Busio with that level of play. I feel like this team has a lot of potential, we just have to see how much they use.
Feels weird to see Bjerg already on 2 different teams in less than a year. Always thought he was gonna be like Faker and stay on one team for his whole career. but then i remember that T1 is good and TSM is not
He didn't start on TSM so it already wouldn't have been the same. Faker also started on what was in essence supposed to be the B team back when Korea had sister teams.
nothing nuts about this team. DL hasnt played in two years, their supp is an academy player and bjerg looked average last year. Plus dont know what youre getting from tenacity
theres a lot more uncertainties than just tenacity for this team, theres potential for them to win a title but imo they're far from favorites and can still fall short even if everything goes right
Im really curious to see if DL can keep his up his streak of winning every split he's fully played since Summer '16. Obviously its a little bit of a disingenious streak seeing as he sat out Spring'17 and Spring'20 and hasnt played the last 4 splits, but this will really test his plot armor. Excited to see 100T academy prospects also getting used. Feels like the right step for NA in a way but also could see it not going so well.
Since the roster is pretty much set, who’s going to be coach? (EDIT: forgot about it being Kaas, though I'm not sure if that was official. Any loremasters on Kaas aside from being former MAD coach?) DL and Bjergsen have a strong opinion on how to play the game but I’m hoping they’re guided by someone who’s game smart enough to counter them logically if need be. But I’m hoping for the best still for the roster, excited to see how far they go!
It's kaas from mad lions. Jungle juice their new GM explained how it was important for their coach to know shit. Simplified the tested his in game knowledge so that at least shouldn't be a problem.
I like it. Closer can be really aggressive and a good carry jungler. Bjerg on TL was more comfortable playing an "enabler" playstyle. I think this will mesh really nicely
Idk, he wasn’t exactly smashing champs q. People dog on him because he shits on the league so much, but I guess now we’ll get to see him out his money where his mouth is
I know why people are hyped up for DL but I think they are going to be massively disappointed. Watching from CQ and his last LCS split I dont have too much faith in him being the same player he used to be. Maybe i'll be wrong. Also on a side note I feel like the dynamic is going to be a bit odd for Tenacity, with him being very young and gen z like surrounded by a lot of older and more established people is probably going to be wierd at times.
He's been playing champ queue religiously since he retired. I think if anything he's gonna come back more refreshed with a better view of the game since he played with so many different supports in champs queue and watched every LCS game as a spectator.
I didn't think Doublelift would come back without being paid big bucks. Is 100T breaking the bank like Liquid did making a "super" team? I hope they do well, win the seasons, and make worlds unlike what happened with Liquid.
Am I the only one not really excited to see DL and Bjerg play? It's like seeing Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady announce they are playing for the Rockets this year. Sure it sells tickets but both are past their prime and both have a long history of burnout. I think last year 100T would crush this year's 100T
Again, intentionally NA will never win anything and the league is losing in popularity to other esports that Americans are better at - like Valorant and OW2.
not like NA will make an impact at worlds anyway, just let the old fans have their nostalgia, this will bring more viewership than most other rosters anyway
Yes, last year's 100T is better than 2023 100T. But their plan was not to build a better team, it's to build a foundation for years to come in the LCS.
You say that like DL and Bjerg are going to be bottom 5 players in the league. With Danny gone, the only adc that’s likely going to be better than him is Berserker. The same with Bjerg, especially if the meta shifts back to mages.
This is very much a fan service roster for 100T getting players with huge fanbases like DL and Bjerg combined with up and coming NA talent will probably make them one of if not the most popular team this year plus they got a strong shot at winning LCS on paper at least and let's be real no NA team is doing fuck all internationally except for C9 sometimes so might as well play for NA
I'm glad. League careers are too short anyway. Plus it's good to have players with actually personalities and followings, even if it's just to root against them.
Glad Closer is staying, good decision. But why are they chasing the clout of DL and Bjerg? DL did not look after losing 3-0 to G2 at MSI, and Bjerg is serviceable at best based on last year's performance. This is the Bang situation all over again.
I mean you answered your own question. 100T was already pretty popular among LCS fans, probably most impactful team in LCS since C9 unless you count the curse rebrand. Having Dlift and Bjerg means extra viewers, followers and more sold merchandise.
Bro 100t were winning games despite abbe lol. His highs are higher but his lows are losing you the game solo. Like every player like that when you start to get the 70 percent side of the wrong side you get dropped.
This is why NA always fails miserably at Worlds. They keep reciclying washed up players who have lost their competitive spirit. They are just here for the money and can't retire because they dont know what to do next with their lifes. If the region dosen't support young talent, NA will never stop beeing a meme, 4fun and "Retirement League".
how do these journalists get leaks? Is it all planned and a collaborative effort between teams and them? Because if someone's talking when they're not supposed to, that has to be a career ruiner when it gets found out
Am I just underrating Bussy-o? Closer/Bjerg/Doublelift could be on any top tier name plate, but I’ve what his has shown us, Doublelift wants a gifted and top tier support, is someone coming fresh out of Academy going to be able to live up to Doublelift or NAs expectations? I’d prefer seeing a Doublelift/Vulcan duo
If Santorin was leaving TL i think 100T would have the place to go. I think Closer is a good choice but IMO 3rd best behind Blabber and Santorin. However that being said I'm kinda worried about the 100T retirement home and jungle probably won't be a problem. Bjerg will want to shot call and closer will be a Bjerg ward.
TL is building a completely Korean team. Let alone there being like 7 native players total. Adding in Bjergsen leading another team to the least proactive style possible is the cherry on top of what is leading me to the least amount of hype for LCS I've been at
Really hyped to see how Closer and Bjergsen duo would work out. Doublelift verbal agreement soon too?
I’m honestly a bit concerned.
Ootl but I thought Unforgiven was the 100T ADC?
I hope so! Bjerd and DL would be a dream
It's definitely a weird dynamic. Like Bjergsen and Doublelift should definitely be the passengers on this team. Theoretically this team needs to enable Tenacity to pressure lane, and Busio will need to leave lane to make plays with Closer early. Also in the botlane, it'll probably be about Doublelift keeping up with Busio in lane and not the other way around lol.

I've been OOTL for a while. Last I heard, DL stole money from teammates and essentially fled the country. Was that somehow resolved or did everyone forget about it..?
OH SHITTTTTTTTTTTT 100T Bjerg sounds so wrong but so right wow
Bjerg has a lot of doubters right now, and I don't blame those people. But (as a biased 100T fan) this roster design has me super hyped. Busio and Tenacity are young talented players and surrounding them with veterans seems like a recipe for success!

Will sell hoodies for sure.

Holy shit how can Twitch clips can be such a pain in the ass to watch in the year 2022, its beyond me.
Lmaoooo that’s the first thing I thought of.
Never seen this before, thank you lmao
Bro, I havent seen this in a while. Its fucking hilarious XD
Don’t see anything said about it but I think it’s cool for Wooloo to give credit to Travis on the anticipation
Journalists are so funny, we don’t care who was first at all
Doublelift and Bjerg back together is gonna be so much fun. Really excited for double/busio botlane. Hoping DL can reach too form again and be a good influence on Busio
Would be insane if DL gets back into 2019 form and guides Busio with that level of play. I feel like this team has a lot of potential, we just have to see how much they use.
So tired of people believing in double lift LMAO. It has only been down hill hopium is so high with this guy
DL a good influence? 😂
Has it come out where Abbedagge will be?
mcdonalds
Looking like ERL's, or sits a split if he wants to remain in LCS and hope he can replace someone
wouldnt be surprised if he ends up on astralis midseason
[удалено]
Feels weird to see Bjerg already on 2 different teams in less than a year. Always thought he was gonna be like Faker and stay on one team for his whole career. but then i remember that T1 is good and TSM is not
He already started his career on a different team in EU though before TSM. So kind of different than Faker
100T will be Bjergsens 7th professional team.
Faker will most likely play on another team sooner or later. He always said that he would want to.
also faker is good
He didn't start on TSM so it already wouldn't have been the same. Faker also started on what was in essence supposed to be the B team back when Korea had sister teams.
yup yup.
Never compare him to Faker. At best he’s at Jiizuke level. There’s a reason orgs don’t want him; he does nothing for the team.
Faker is a God, bjerg isnt*
Regi did Bjerg bad
Closer over Spica is the right move. idk how good Tenacity will be in the LCS but if he lives up to the hype this team will be nuts
He will likely have a lot of pressure on him, Sniper will be LCS eligible in 2024. 1 year to prove himself
Closer over Spica absolutely smart move can't believe they made the right choice
nothing nuts about this team. DL hasnt played in two years, their supp is an academy player and bjerg looked average last year. Plus dont know what youre getting from tenacity
theres a lot more uncertainties than just tenacity for this team, theres potential for them to win a title but imo they're far from favorites and can still fall short even if everything goes right

Excited to see 100T academy prospects also getting used. Feels like the right step for NA in a way but also could see it not going so well.
I can see them winning the next split easily. Most of the LCS teams seem quite weak compared to previous years.
Since the roster is pretty much set, who’s going to be coach? (EDIT: forgot about it being Kaas, though I'm not sure if that was official. Any loremasters on Kaas aside from being former MAD coach?) DL and Bjergsen have a strong opinion on how to play the game but I’m hoping they’re guided by someone who’s game smart enough to counter them logically if need be. But I’m hoping for the best still for the roster, excited to see how far they go!
was leaked that kaas (asst. coach of mad lions) is coaching, idk if it's head coach or asst.
It's kaas from mad lions. Jungle juice their new GM explained how it was important for their coach to know shit. Simplified the tested his in game knowledge so that at least shouldn't be a problem.
bjerg and doublelift counter each other thats why the teams they are on succeed
you gotta believe Bjerg is ringing up Parth as we speak
Coach Cain maybe?
[удалено]
I like it. Closer can be really aggressive and a good carry jungler. Bjerg on TL was more comfortable playing an "enabler" playstyle. I think this will mesh really nicely
people dog on doublelift so much. im hopeful about his return to form if he does end up coming back. he definitely still has the mechanics.
He has been keeping up with his stuff and grining CQ more than most pros so that's something to give him credit for at the very least.
Idk, he wasn’t exactly smashing champs q. People dog on him because he shits on the league so much, but I guess now we’ll get to see him out his money where his mouth is
He looked thoroughly washed in his last split and in Champions Queue.
So does this mean Contractz is on or off CLG? Which way is it, Western Man?
Should be Contractz staying on CLG, since Spica is likely on FQ with Impact now.
Contractz was CLG's best player last split so I doubt they get rid of him
Bjergsen + DL in one team? Sounds like something worth hyping for.
Tenacity
From 0 native NA to 3 in one off season. Feels good man
This is a team that gets swept at worlds pretty easily. Bjergsen and DL are worse than they used to be and they used to get spanked at worlds.
I know why people are hyped up for DL but I think they are going to be massively disappointed. Watching from CQ and his last LCS split I dont have too much faith in him being the same player he used to be. Maybe i'll be wrong. Also on a side note I feel like the dynamic is going to be a bit odd for Tenacity, with him being very young and gen z like surrounded by a lot of older and more established people is probably going to be wierd at times.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Bjerg likes to lead and control every team he’s on
You’re high out of your mind. DL alone already makes this a title contender. Last time he won lcs with a team half this good
Not only did he play 2 years ago. He was already bad by then. His last split was awful.
yeah man DL is the liability and not Bjergsen Clueless
I think DL is going to compete for second team ADC next year.
He's been playing champ queue religiously since he retired. I think if anything he's gonna come back more refreshed with a better view of the game since he played with so many different supports in champs queue and watched every LCS game as a spectator.
Yes but you said 'if DL regains form'
Holy shit let's fuckin go. 100t better make some content this year.
So papasmithy didn’t like the idea of a washed team? Understandable.
I didn't think Doublelift would come back without being paid big bucks. Is 100T breaking the bank like Liquid did making a "super" team? I hope they do well, win the seasons, and make worlds unlike what happened with Liquid.
Doublelift stated many times that he is OK with joining a team with lower salary as long as the team is competitive.
The END of 100Imports
? Where do you think Bjergsen is from?
Bjergsen isn't even the best mid laner on this team
If they actually get DL on this roster then I may become a 100T fan (I’m EUW)
Time to put on my 100T hater hat
Now get DL, and you got yourself a new 100T bro.
Would be seriously griefing to downgrade Closer with Spica.
He wasn’t better than Toucouille, and Abbe’s peak was notably higher.
Noo :( Closer about to get neutered
Am I the only one not really excited to see DL and Bjerg play? It's like seeing Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady announce they are playing for the Rockets this year. Sure it sells tickets but both are past their prime and both have a long history of burnout. I think last year 100T would crush this year's 100T
Again, intentionally NA will never win anything and the league is losing in popularity to other esports that Americans are better at - like Valorant and OW2.
not like NA will make an impact at worlds anyway, just let the old fans have their nostalgia, this will bring more viewership than most other rosters anyway
Would you rather seeing random LCK academy players instead?
Yes, last year's 100T is better than 2023 100T. But their plan was not to build a better team, it's to build a foundation for years to come in the LCS.
agreed im also not so hype that they re gonna be coaching young talent in the wrong direction. since imo these 2 have the most defeatist attitude
You say that like DL and Bjerg are going to be bottom 5 players in the league. With Danny gone, the only adc that’s likely going to be better than him is Berserker. The same with Bjerg, especially if the meta shifts back to mages.
This is very much a fan service roster for 100T getting players with huge fanbases like DL and Bjerg combined with up and coming NA talent will probably make them one of if not the most popular team this year plus they got a strong shot at winning LCS on paper at least and let's be real no NA team is doing fuck all internationally except for C9 sometimes so might as well play for NA
I'm about 90% certain that Bjerg and Doublelift are just placeholder before Closer has his green card and 100T signs import mid/adc for 2024
I'm glad. League careers are too short anyway. Plus it's good to have players with actually personalities and followings, even if it's just to root against them.
[удалено]
They are surrounding 2 hyped rookies with veteran players. IMO this is the correct way to build a roster.
They have 2 rookies. Hybrid rookie/vet teams is the best bet, just a question whether they can figure out shotcalling and how DL looks after 2 years.
Bjerg about to ruin another jungler lets goo
Santorin still almost carried TL to Worlds. Not sure how Bjergsen "ruined" him.
Lazy take
What junglers has he ruined? Most junglers that played with Bjerg never had as much success playing for other teams afterwards.
You mean Regi?
Agreed. He made spica/santorin look horrible the last 2 years he played with them.
100t the final hope of the west
Really hope bjerg plays for closer because if it's the other way around 100T gonna be a snooze fest
Glad Closer is staying, good decision. But why are they chasing the clout of DL and Bjerg? DL did not look after losing 3-0 to G2 at MSI, and Bjerg is serviceable at best based on last year's performance. This is the Bang situation all over again.
I mean you answered your own question. 100T was already pretty popular among LCS fans, probably most impactful team in LCS since C9 unless you count the curse rebrand. Having Dlift and Bjerg means extra viewers, followers and more sold merchandise.
What a downgrade skillwise. What an upgrade for your hoodie store
looking forward to Bjerg destroying another talented jungler
Who has he destroyed so far?
lol is 100T answer to NA sucking is to bring back even more washed NA boomers?
No shot Bjergsen is better than Abbe, this is a straight downgrade but I guess it's good branding, which is all NA cares about.
Bro 100t were winning games despite abbe lol. His highs are higher but his lows are losing you the game solo. Like every player like that when you start to get the 70 percent side of the wrong side you get dropped.
It's official then, 100T has zero ambitions in LoL and focuses fully on Valorant.
This is why NA always fails miserably at Worlds. They keep reciclying washed up players who have lost their competitive spirit. They are just here for the money and can't retire because they dont know what to do next with their lifes. If the region dosen't support young talent, NA will never stop beeing a meme, 4fun and "Retirement League".
Doubt double or Bjerg will care about money.
Apparently half their roster being new NA talent in Tenacity and Busio is the region not supporting young talent
Gonna feel sorry for 100T fans when Bjerg costs them a trip to worlds like he did for TL
Lol, blaming Bjerg when he had some of the best stats in the League while Bwipo and Hans Sama were running it down. Good one
Another talented jungler ruined by Bjergsen
Yesss!!
Congrats
I want to remind everyone that Papasmithy left because of this roster...
I can't say I expect much out of Bjergsen at this point. They'll do decently domestically but he's never shown up at Worlds/MSI.
Bjerg is meh
You post this comment on any social media and i would know this came from a redditor with a bone-dry shower
Unforgiven>>>>>>>>>DL
Spica really chased the bag over the better team
Crazy they really downgraded on mid and adc just bait boomer fans
LETS GO NA USING RECYCLED PLAYERS YET AGAIN. FOR SURE NA WILL REACH WORLDS SEMIS NEXT YEAR
Hmm no DL?
They be fine as long as they argue and come up with conclusions
inb4 Doublelift to 100T
They are gonna sell so many hoodies
Bjergserlift powers activate!
rip 100t mid
Feel like it's going to be another disaster.
100T simultaneously focuses a lot on marketing, and what better marketing than signing the 2 players with the most Twitter followers
Closer Bjerg sounds like a really weird combo but I hope Closer can push Bjerg
What happened to abbedage?
100T will win the next split for sure!
They better not get rid of Ssumday
I meant they are
Just did
Time for another jungler to get ruined
doublelift as well
Bjerg DL Closer Tenacity. Who's next
No chance they make worlds.
Ngl, I'm a little sad not to see spica on this team. That'd be a mega hype "na talent" roster.
for na talent purposes yea but i think closer is the better option
how do these journalists get leaks? Is it all planned and a collaborative effort between teams and them? Because if someone's talking when they're not supposed to, that has to be a career ruiner when it gets found out
Putting too many old people in a team is how it fails. Bjerg and doublelift shouldn’t both be at 100T
What a waste of money, guess that confirms it 100T not making it to worlds.
Yeyeye but where are the Rekkles news
From worlds to getting 6th in NA unlucky 100T
If true, huge downgrade in mid.
damn, with closer still there guess ill continue to not support 100t.
what did closer do to you loo
closeted racism and xenophobia
[удалено]
Wonder why this wasn't posted on LEC_Wooloo instead? I feel like this would be pretty big news.
Wheres abbedeage hew was godlike
So no one else is tired of the same 20 old players being shuffled around every year?
Am I just underrating Bussy-o? Closer/Bjerg/Doublelift could be on any top tier name plate, but I’ve what his has shown us, Doublelift wants a gifted and top tier support, is someone coming fresh out of Academy going to be able to live up to Doublelift or NAs expectations? I’d prefer seeing a Doublelift/Vulcan duo
They don’t call Busio the NA Keria for nothing
If Santorin was leaving TL i think 100T would have the place to go. I think Closer is a good choice but IMO 3rd best behind Blabber and Santorin. However that being said I'm kinda worried about the 100T retirement home and jungle probably won't be a problem. Bjerg will want to shot call and closer will be a Bjerg ward.
TL is building a completely Korean team. Let alone there being like 7 native players total. Adding in Bjergsen leading another team to the least proactive style possible is the cherry on top of what is leading me to the least amount of hype for LCS I've been at
huge if true
Why tho...
These are side-grades, ultimately losing Ssumday will make this team less of a threat
NA retirement home confirmed
If Bjergsen performes like in Team Liquid this roster looks doomed.
Yeah true if he performs like only the 2nd best mid in the league again 100t has no chance.
wow doubelift and bjergsen will surely. not shit the bed for the 10th year. letsgo!
