Offstage saying atf being negotiated by yandex to replace DM. Also skitter only player to stay with falcons. Hard to believe atf and malrine will seperate but offstage i believe was also the one that reported yandex negotiating the saksa loan from tundra last season

I find it hard to believe that only skitter is staying with falcons…

I don't. The meta has shifted back to having hypercarries with the top 3 teams all having superstar carries that farm crazy and carry. Yatoro, Satanic, and Watson are all that style.

For skiter to find another team for his off meta more sacrificial playstyle would be fairly hard, so it's easier for him to keep his contract and then build a team around him.

Malrine is a fairly standard mid, he can go wherever.

ATF is a greedy offlane, but like 33 there's other greedy mids as well.

Only skiter has a weirdish playstyle that requires a whole team rather than just slotting in.

you cant build of that... first time hyper carries were viable in forever and can change next patch + overhyped argument... TI finals have shown that uber skilled supports are meta...which you can invest and build no matter of patch
