Noone is gonna play in the SEA, with Team SMG. I think this is the first time that he'll play for the SEA region and this is to be expected that a team will take him when the situation and status of the Old G is unstable. I am expecting that Topson will also be taken somewhere else but no longer with a SEA team as he has got a bad experience with T1 before.
And with an update which is still a rumor, this is for the pubs, no more destroying of items. Or, it's still allowed for players to destroy items but you'll get punished like being banned for matchmaking with 4 hours and 1 single draft game. No more Quinn tilting I guess?
That's a good carry upgrade for Team SMG, and I hope they perform well because I could see them making it in the finals if they have the same form during Tour 2 where they finished in third.
What I am thinking on this one is that SEA is only going to have one slot for the TI. It's like being the best of the best will actually get that slot, Valve was too strict on these DPC points and regionals. But that's what rules are for.
While the other regions have been packed with slots those that has fulfilled it with the DPC points and then they still have the regional slots. This is where I'm half on it, in favor and seeing its goodness but also feeling bad for other regions.
That's really pushing them to upgrade their game whether it's with the meta or not.
I also heard the rumors, but it might be in the testing phase because there's no official announcement and only a few players are receiving the punishment.
The new patch has been dropped but regarding this, I haven't see any announcement and update.
