Team SoloMid Finalizes Roster for 2016 Spring League Championship Series Season
Team SoloMid has completed its roster for the upcoming 2016 Spring League Championship Series (LCS) season. After Raymond “kaSing” Tsang returned to Europe, Team SoloMid has confirmed the addition of Fnatic star Bora “YellOwStaR” Kim.
Speculation arose regarding Tsang’s replacement, with Korean support player Lee “Piccaboo” Jong-beom being one of the names in the conversation. However, sources close to the player have informed the Daily Dot that he declined an offer from Team SoloMid a few days ago.
Former Impulse player Adrian “Adrian” Ma was also considered as a potential replacement, but sources have revealed that he has signed with another LCS team.
Instead, Team SoloMid has turned to Kim, who is considered one of the most successful players in European League of Legends history. Sources suggest that he will likely join Team SoloMid in the near future.
Kim decided to leave Fnatic after Huni and Reignover left the team to move to North America, stating that he had the chance to join a team in North America at his best level and experience a new lifestyle and environment.
The announcement of the finalized support for Team SoloMid was made by owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh on Twitter.
With the signing of Kim, Team SoloMid’s roster is complete after a significant rebuild during the off-season. The team has also added a head coach and a strategic coach.
