TSM are in the process of rebuilding their team, and the other day, they added Doublelift to fill their open adc role. With tryouts going on for the open positions in Top, Jungle, and Support, we are bound to hear something soon. Over on the Dailydot.com, Jacob Wolf has some news on a potential Top laner pick:
Gravity Gaming top laner Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell is the frontrunner for the spot, sources close to the organization tell the Daily Dot. But the team has also reportedly discussed the position with Counter Logic Gaming top laner Darshan “ZionSpartan” Upadhyaya.
The latter is an unlikely choice for the time being, sources say. But Yarnell has shot to the top of the list after a solid performance in tryouts. His contract with Gravity Gaming does not expire until Nov. 15, however, and he’s locked into unless he is bought out by another team or Gravity releases him.
But regardless of the contracting situation, Team SoloMid will be eager make a decision on its full lineup soon. In less than a month SoloMid is slated to play at the Intel Extreme Masters tournament in San Jose.
TSM needs a full line up fast, and they don’t want to give up a shot at IEM, not only for the competition, but for a test of their lineup before the LCS. The clock is ticking, and we should start to see the new TSM line up soon. Hauntzer seems like a great choice for top, and if he does join, that would even let TSM import the other 2 roles, as they would have 3 NA players. Bjergsen in the mid laner now counts as a resident, so that gives TSM a lot of flexibility in picks, if they grab Hauntzer it makes it even better. Head over to the full article here to see more on TSM and their team choices.
