Before I share my thoughts on this roster change, I would like to say that I have been a TSM fan since season 1. I've watched and followed the team from the old baylife era to the current new TSM era.

Now, this roster change brings a lot of questions. Will TSM have enough time to adapt to this change and create good team synergy with Lustboy? Will the Turtle/Lustboy duo perform better than the Turtle/Gleeb duo? Will TSM have communication problems with the addition of Lustboy? How good will they be as a team if their communication and synergy is good? I will give my personal opinion on all of these questions and some additional questions as well!


Will TSM have enough time to adapt to this change and create good team synergy with Lustboy?

A tricky question. I think it's definitely possible. Remember when Bjergsen first came and Dyrus said that the transition was really easy because he meshed really well with the team? This could happen with Lustboy as well. However, the language barrier may be a problem. From what I've read/heard, Lustboy's English is alright but not at a really good level. So my final answer to this question is, yes it's possible but the chances aren't very high. Maybe 50/50? (Haha that Alex Ich reference xD)


Will the Turtle/Lustboy duo perform better than the Turtle/Gleeb duo?

From what I read about Lustboy, it seems like he wanted an aggressive ADC while he was on CJ Blaze. WildTurtle can definitely adapt to being a really aggressive carry again. The problem I see with this is that they might be overaggressive. Being overaggressive can be a good and bad thing. Overall, I think the Lustboy/WildTurtle duo can definitely be better than the Gleeb/WildTurtle duo but I'm worried they might turn into an overly aggressive duo that just goes ham all the time and doesn't play that smart.


Will TSM have communication problems with the addition of Lustboy?

I think they will have problems at first but if Lustboy can improve his English at a quick rate it won't be that much of a problem as time goes on. We shall see!


How good will they be as a team if their communication and synergy is good?

As much as it pains me to say this..I do think they have a looot of potential because they have a lot of talent but at the moment, I don't think they'll be that good. If communication isn't a big problem, the addition of Lustboy will make them slightly better in my opinion. However, adding a new player won't fix some of the problems they've been having this season like not playing too passive, having a decisive shotcaller, bad drafting phase (sometimes) and lack of planing.


How do you feel about the roster change? Don't you miss the old baylife era of TSM?

Let me be clear about something. Whatever roster changes happen in TSM, I will always support the team. Players come and go. That's how it is in every sport. It's no different in e-sports. Yes, we really like certain players and it sucks to see them go. Do you think I wasn't sad when The Rain Man left? When Chaox left? When Regi retired? When TheOddOne retired and Xpecial left? I was of course. However, I'm still following all of those players while still being a fan of TSM. That's what being a fan is. Sticking with your team through thick and thin and cheering them on. You can still follow the old players then they leave or get benched. They were part of the team too and there's nothing wrong with following them even after they're gone. But why do you have to stop supporting the team just because they're gone?

That's how I feel about the current TSM. Yes, I miss the old baylife era and it was a ton of fun following them and looking at their awesome videos. However, the new TSM is likeable as well but in a different way. After getting to know players like Bjergsen, Turtle and Amazing, I've grown to like them as well and I think they're really cool.

As for Gleeb, I feel a little bad about him because he was slowly but surely improving. However, I'll still follow him and watch his stream no matter what he does in the future.
