EU: LCS - Schalke 04 - OG
Halte mich kurz hier, Quote wird jeden Moment droppen.
Als die Quote rauskam, hab ich diese schon beliebäugelt, denn OG bisher mit 0-4 schlechtestes Team trotz vielversprechendem Roster und zuletzt einer deutlichen Niederlage gegen Relegationskandidat UOL. Gerade die beiden Spiele haben gezeigt, dass es in dem Team nicht stimmt und wie schlecht es um das Team steht, da passt gerade nicht viel zusammen. Amazing hinkt seiner Glanzzeit hinterher, POE immernoch enttäuschend und mit sehr schwachem Champpool ...
Schalke hingegen wirkte in beiden Spielen wie ausgewechselt, nachdem der Bundesliga-club das Elements Roster übernommen hatte und man Midlaner Fox holter. Gerade dieser mit einigen Highlights und man steht mit 3-1 an Tabellen-Position 2.
Hauptgrund für die Wette kam aber so eben erst: http://origen.gg/2016/06/important-roster-update/ - demnach wird ADC Forgiven auf die Bench gesetzt und Teamchef Xpeke nimmt die Position des AD-Carrys. Auch wenn XPeke sicherlich ein guter Spieler ist, wird er definitv kein LCS fähiger ADC in dieser kurzen Zeit sein und auch das Shotcalling ist von dieser Position aus nicht einfach. Die mechanisch am schwersten zu spielende Position brauch schon seine Zeit. Quote wird hier fallen, deswegen volle Attacke hier. Andere Bookies leider das Spiel schon gesperrt.

Noch ein Auszug von Forgivens FB-Post - 90 % Niederlagen in Scrims sprechen deutliche Bände
Short story here if you want drama you came to the wrong place,
I went to origen with the mindset to try to qualify for worlds instead of taking the easy way out and skipping entire summer split (which ultimately happened but it was worth trying). However we lost about 90% of scrims in last 2 weeks and especially after i saw the Hjarnan news (not playing due to motivation issues) i came into realization that i couldn't keep up with competitive league of legends at least at this point including the previously depressing playoff defeats from 2016 spring playoff run.
After numerous talks we had i thought something needed to be changed and so i took the decision to take an indefinite break from League, since i was playing more Overwatch than the game i was being payed to play (combination of not having fun anymore to play the game for at least one and a half year and being introduced to another), and even if i was at a good/golden mediocrity level, i never wanted to keep anyone behind and so for the change to happen so early even if it wont help Origen (probably) in the short run its better that it happened now than later or after the season. I didn't left Origen on bad terms nor i major clashed with someone from the team. They will have more chances of qualifying for Worlds with a younger player that is hungry to play and do stuff than someone who hasn't mentally recovered from previous spring's losses and lacks motivation.
If you were watching this page from about 2015 you can remember similar posts to what i mentioned before. I obviously recognise that this will leave a negative vibe for the future, in general all those years i gave it everything i had and all i got back was some individual achievements in the past (just saying that having best 'KDA' doesnt mean shit for me) and disappointing playoff runs/IEM results along with multiple organisations not being able to treat their teams decently (excluding H2K, cant judge OG since i was for short time there).
TL;DR Break from competitive league for indefinite amount of time.
Will see what happens from spring and after since i got an army deferrment for a long time. I will be doing my internship in the meantime (finished physiotherapy before i joined LCS with CW).
