After finalizing their roster by the lock-in date, Team SoloMid announces their new support player.
Following the news of his departure from Fnatic, we all pondered the possibilities of which team Bora “YellOwStaR” Kim would sign with. Many were shocked from the very fact that he left his black and orange jersey behind, along with his friends and family. We did have one major clue, though, on where this super star support player would end up: anywhere but home.
Before Intel Extreme Masters San Jose,Team SoloMid’s owner Andy “Reginald” Dinh reminded us all that the roster they would be using is just for IEM. With that being said, the only role that appeared to be temporary was the one filled by Ryan “KaSing” Tsang. After losing in the tournament, KaSing left the TSM house and eventually went on to sign with Team Vitality. That left us with one question in our minds: Who’s the next support? Reginald decided to toy with us a bit, as he posted teasers on who the next TSM support player would be.
As December 11, 2015 approached, we were finally granted the official announcement of who this new TSM support player would be.
The teams lineup officially includes Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell as Top, Dennis “Svenskeren” Johnsen as Jungler, Soren “Bjergsen” Bjerg as Mid, Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng as ADC, and YellOwStaR as Support. With the addition of YellOwStaR, not only will TSM fill their vacant spot in their roster, but also gain an amazing shot caller for the team. He hopes to show everyone that he has no intention of retiring any time soon, regardless of how long he’s been playing professionally.
