CLG’s Struggles in the Mid Lane
CLG has had a history of struggling in the mid lane, often choking under pressure and failing to rise to the competition. Finding a suitable replacement has proven to be a challenge, with limited options available. Incarnation is likely to stay with C9, leaving Pobelter as the primary choice. However, there is one name that stands out – Alex Ich. While some may consider him past his prime, his recent performance with TDK has shown that he still has what it takes to compete at a high level.
A Promising Lineup with Alex Ich
Pairing Alex Ich with a top-tier bottom lane and a dominant top laner would create a formidable team. The only area that could use improvement is the jungler position. Fortunately, Crumbz from the Challenger team Misfits would be an ideal replacement. Alex and Crumbz have already shown synergy in Solo Queue, making them a strong duo. However, it is worth mentioning that this roster may have personality conflicts, which could potentially affect the team’s mental and communication aspects.
Potential for Success
With this lineup, CLG could easily become a top 3 team in NA, capable of challenging the likes of TSM and C9. There is even potential for them to become a powerhouse similar to CLG EU, able to compete on the world stage. The mental strength of all five players would ensure that they do not crumble under pressure, a weakness that has plagued CLG in the past. CLG fans should advocate for this team change, as it makes logical sense and addresses multiple aspects of the game. However, finding a coach for this particular lineup may prove to be challenging due to the experienced nature of the players. It would be beneficial to have an analyst-focused supporting staff to alleviate the burden of pick and ban strategies, allowing the players to focus more on training and individual skill development.
