UPDATE: Reginald doesn't retire after all




IGN Proleague's Nick Allen broke the story of the retirement of Team Solomid's Reginald. Reginald cites time issues with running www.solomid.net and also the fact he has been in the scene since the beginning.

The day to day of running www.solomid.net had to be a taxing responsibility for the talented AP Carry. Many will say that the results of the World Championships pushed Reginald into this decision but that may not be the case. Judging from the interview, this was decided before the World Championships.

Reginald went on to say this on Facebook:

"Ill be making a vlog shortly explaining the situation... I will only retire if we can find a more suitable AP mid player for our team. My decisions will only benefit SoloMid and TSM. If we cannot find a more suitable player than myself by the end of our offseason, then i'll be playing league for S3."

So from here, there are only questions. Who will take the spot? How will they handle the obvious pressure that will come with this position? Will Team Solomid be the same, dominant North American team? One thing is for certain, it will be interesting and fun finding out how this will turn out.

UPDATE!


Reginald pulls a Brett Favre.

I heard Xpecial might want it and they might go look for a new support instead.

Yeah there are a couple supports available:

Nhat, Locust, Bloodwater

However Xpecial is a special support player. I feel like they would be better off getting a AP player like Link or Chu8.

Xpecial is a sick, sick mid laner though. He's easily the most talented of all of them.

Can't say I'm sorry to see Regi go, never liked the guy. In addition to him being wildly unpopular, I think he is TSM's weakest link.


A big thank you to opera floozyMissMaw for the lovely signature!

He is a good player and a decent guy to hang with
Its just when he talk, on interview's, and vlogs he always fuc king talk sh!t
Like the last iterview wiht IPL he just stated he is the best AP Carry in the world...
Well did he ever won his lane with Froggen,Alex ich, ocelot etc...

I think Xpecial should be given a chance if he wants to take AP.

He played solo lane a lot in ranked, so this is not new territory for him.

Well, Nyjacky said "maybe" when regi asked him if he wanted to be on TSM as mid laner.

There are a lot of canidates really.

Vman7, PhantomL0rd, Bischu, or pretty much any mid from solo queue.

They can offer a spot on a top team, that's enough to pick up and move for a lot of people I'd think.


Tri lane for life.

He's got a lot to think about :)

I dunno, he could have not done the interview at all, but any press is good press eh?
