On July 18, rumors started spreading that Misfits Academy would take the place of the main Misfits squad in this week’s LEC games. This was later confirmed by the official LEC Twitter. These changes come after the disappointing performance from the Misfits squad. They currently sit at 2-6 in the standings. Misfits’ management expected much more from the squad, no doubt.
Academy in, LEC out
As Paul “Soaz” Boyer explained in a recent series of tweets, the staff of Misfits opted to start playing with a 10-man roster. They decided this during the EU vs NA Rift Rivals break in the LEC in the last week of June. According to the rumors, Adam “Lider” Ilyasov and Thomas “Kirei” Yuen were intended to switch into the main team. These two play the mid lane and jungle roles, respectively.
Soaz and other members of the team expressed concerns about having to relearn the game if different players switched in and out of the team. These concerns may very well be the reason for the complete roster swap that happened this week.
Rumors of Misfits Gaming’s main team disbanding
Soaz wrapped up his series of tweets by saying he will miss playing with his teammates. Following these tweets, many fans started to worry about the future of Misfits Gaming. What will happen to the players of the main Misfits team? Soaz’s tweets suggest that they will likely not remain together. However, we still have to wait and find out what will happen to the players in the end.
I will miss playing with all of you guys @lolGorillA @Maxlorelol @MSF_Febiven @HanssamaLoL I wish you all the best and I'll see you next year at worlds 😀
