In lieu of visa issues for mid laner Zhu "Keaiduo" Xiong and support Wei "Shenyi" Zi-Jie that will likely bar the Chinese duo from joining their LCS teammates until February, TSM has opted to start the full TSM Academy roster in place of their LCS counterparts for the Lock In.
Ablazeolive sat down with Inven Global's Nick Geracie at Golden Guardians' media day ahead of the 2020 LCS season to discuss what he learned from TSM Mid Laner Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg, how he came to join Golden Guardians, and signed off with a vote of confidence for Golden Guardians starting LCS mid laner Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer.
In a report by ESPN, Cloud9 and Dignitas have verbally agreed in a trade deal that will send Vulcan to Cloud9 in exchange for $1.5 million and Johnson "Johnsun" Nguyen, former TSM Academy bot laner. Read about it here.
Ablazeolive joined Nick Geracie after defeating TLA to share his thoughts on the Mid Lane meta, playing with a non-cardboard version of Support Erik "Treatz" Wessén on stage, and forming Mid/Jungle synergy with Mingyi "Spica" Lu since Jonathan "Grig" Armao re-joined TSM's LCS roster.
