Team News & Roster Changes

• [NA] After a comment on his stream, news is coming out that Xpecial has been benched from his spot as Support on Team Solo Mid.

• Here's what Reginald had to say about Xpecial:

"Xpecial was benched because of his attitude. After hearing feedback from the entire team, I made the decision to bench him. In this period of time, I hope that he will refocus and review his actions. League of legends is a team game; just because you have the best players on a team does not mean you have the best team.

I have always made my roster decisions based on the entire team's feedback and would never make a business decision because of personal reasons. I truly believe that everything I do is to benefit TSM.
