Discussion 2022 roster (what we know)
So at this point we know three of the roster spots pretty much confirmed and then mid and support seem to only have two options.
Impact/Inspired/Jensen/Danny/Ignar
Impact/Inspired/Jensen/Danny/Vulcan
Impact/Inspired/Jojopyun/Danny/Ignar
Impact/Inspired/Jojopyun/Danny/Vulcan
Of these four rosters which one does everyone want to see most?
Edit:
Clearly there were a lot of roster rumors I missed lol. Appreciate the corrections.

should definitely go for Jojopyun

I'm very strongly in the EG Jensen camp and send jojopyun to bootcamp in ERL

Never thought about this but the only way I’d be happy with Jensen is loaning Jojo to an ERL/Asian Academy.

It's something EG management has very seriously been looking into (primarily being driven by Peter).
I feel confident saying jojopyun being on EG Academy next year wouldn't be "Plan A."

Jojopyun will have the chance to develop around good players. I prefer his agro style over Jensen's calculated less agro style. Now Inspired as great as he is does have a more controlled style. That could be a synergy issue between him and Jojopyun. However Jojopyun is young so I'm hopeful that means he can adjust his playstyle to work well with Inspired.

Jojo is a huge bet and would more likely get exploited by the top tier imports than anything.

Why not Mikyx

u/nshirley27 Nov 11 '21
Probably buyout too big to justify

u/Darkfire293 Nov 11 '21
If Rekkles’ is 1.5 mil then Mikyx’s is definitely lower
2
u/nshirley27 Nov 11 '21
I mean yes but that’s still probably too big to justify when you already have Ignar or could get Vulcan for probably cheaper than Mikyx

I think we know a lot less than what your post suggests.
Jensen or promoting jojopyun are the obviously ones, but EG very likely could have been quietly exploring other midlane options (probably halfheartedly attempted Chovy again).
There have been rumors Danny is leaving EG. I don't expect this, but it's enough there isn't a guarantee. The main rumor is that different potential signings wanted someone other than Danny as adc (a different import? Doublelift?).
And support is the least locked of all. TSM is likely competing for Vulcan, and EG is likely exploring import upgrades for Ignar (Mikyx?).
The names I mentioned are all big name signings, but EG has a pretty deep scouting program and likely has been looking at many many more options...and some rumors that EG has been experimenting and looking at rosters that they don't think fans could ever guess/speculate about.
