100 Thieves have just announced that they have decided to part ways with their league of legends academy team jungler, Meteos. Here is their statement:

What led to his departure?

Before Meteos was 100 Thieves’ academy team jungler he was on the main roster, playing in LCS, up until Week 3, where the 100 Thieves management decided it would be best for their jungler and support to be swapped with their academy team. Meteos did not take this lightly, and took to twitter to express his emotions after the swap. It seemed natural that Meteos will be departing the organization afterwards, however he might have a seat saved on another squad. His side of the departure is explained in a twitlonger he released:

Who are they bringing in?

100 Thieves have opted to bring in some new and fresh raw talent from their 100X squad. Milan “Tenacity” Oleksij will be in the top lane, and Shane “Kenvi” Espinoza will be the direct replacement to Meteos in the jungle. They will definitely be a team worth looking towards, in their coming matches.

The summer split of the NA LCS is already at its 7th Week of play, and in the last 6 weeks we’ve seen some pretty big upsets, and some very great games. Here are the current standings at the end of Week 6:

1. Cloud9 – 10-2
2. Team Liquid – 10-2
3. Team SoloMid – 7-5
4. Golden Guardians – 6-6
5. FlyQuest – 6-6
6. Evil Geniuses – 6-6
7. Counter Logic Gaming – 5-7
8. 100 Thieves – 4-8
9. Dignitas – 3-9
10. Immortals – 3-9

Who’s leading?

Cloud9 and Team Liquid are currently leading the pack with a score of 10 wins and 2 losses. Cloud 9 had their first loss versus 100 Thieves back in Week 5 and have had their 2nd loss versus Evil Geniuses with their latest roster change. On the other hand, Team Liquid have lost their first game versus Evil Geniuses and had their 2nd loss versus their main rivals, Cloud 9. It’s a battle between 3 titans at the moment, and Cloud 9 seems to be at the winning edge for the time being.

Upsets

With regards to upsets in this year’s NA Summer Split, the Dignitas roster has been pretty disappointing so far, currently sitting at 3 wins and 9 losses in just 6 weeks. They are due for a roster change in the coming weeks for sure. Another example of an upset is the Immortals squad. At the end of last month we covered a topic which was related to the Immortals management being released from the organisation. Now they have switched up their Main roster and academy roster with hopes of them scoring some points before the summer split ends, however it seems very unrealistic at this point.

A team that is worth mentioning with regards to their performance would be TSM. They have defied all odds coming into the summer split with their huge role changes on the rift. Bringing back Doublelift and promoting Spica from TSM academy to the Jungler on the main roster, definitely raised some doubts, however they have definitely delivered as they are currently sitting at 3rd place in the NA LCS Summer Split standings.

G2 have just announced that their substitute, Kristoffer “P1noy” Pedersen will be replacing Luka “Perkz” Perković in the botlane for week 4. Here is G2’s Jungler, Jankos explaining why they are making the change.

In the clip above, Jankos explains that Perkz’s decision to step down for a week of LEC was due to him needing to have a bit of free time off for himself, where he could relax and refocus for the coming weeks of competitive league of legends. This is what he tweeted last week after their victory versus Fnatic on June 27:

G2 are currently tied for 3rd with 4 wins and 3 losses, definitely not the start they expected considering that they were the highest chances to dominate Europe, however maybe after this break Perkz will come back stronger and will aid G2 in climbing up the ranks.

P1noy will be playing on the 3rd of July versus Misfits. It will definitely be exciting to see how G2 will adapt to the new changes and overcome all expectations!

100 Thieves have just announced that they will be making a drastic change to their roster for starting from the fourth week of LCS. Here is their statement:

The 100 Thieves roster is currently 1-5 in this season’s LCS Summer Split, so it definitely meant that a change had to be made. 100 Thieves main support William “Stunt” Chen stood silent and accepted the swap, whereas 100 Thieves main Jungler, Meteos, had a few things to say about the change. Here is a deleted tweet that he posted a few minutes after the announcement:

The roster swap had been in rumors however it was not made clear as to which players will be getting swapped. Seeing Contractz back in the LCS is definitely a heart warming sight. He’s definitely one of North America’s best junglers and it will be very exciting to see him on the LCS rift once again this Summer Split.

We will have to wait and see how this roster swap will affect the performance of the newly adjusted main roster, and witness if these changes are of any benefit to the organization. Make sure you don’t miss the action by keeping yourself updated with https://www.esportsguide.com/
