The Assassin meta, which has plagued solo queue and shifted the meta in offseason tournaments, will likely see League's burst-oriented class return to the LCS, according to TSM's mid laner Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg.

Red Bull caught up with the mid lane MVP at the latest All-Star event to discuss the upcoming season of LCS and what lies in store for TSM's star player.

Both casual and competitive players have been wary of the changes Riot has brought to the table, with majors buffs to Assassins more or less across the board. Bjergsen feels that, at least for mid lane, Riot will find a happy medium in the strength of Assassins soon.

"Assassin changes have brought both good and bad," Bjergsen said, noting that despite some power picks like LeBlanc dominating solo queue, champions like Fizz and Talon have some weaknesses in the current meta.

"I think by the time the LCS season comes around, they're going to look to buff these [weaker assassin] champions because they want to see Assassins in LCS, so I look forward to that."

Another major concern for fans was based outside of the game — the return of WildTurtle to TSM's roster. Since WildTurtle's return to the team sees him replacing Doublelift after a very successful season, some fans have questions how the AD carry will mesh with the roster. But, as Bjergsen pointed out, it's not all about what you see on-screen.

"People only see Turtle for his play and they are very critical," he observed, "but they don't see how good of a teammate he is or actually how good he is at communication in the game." Bjergsen also said that a veteran player was just what the team needed to pair with their less experienced support.

"Having someone who's experienced laning with Biofrost who is still a rookie is going to be useful, compared to [picking up] another rookie and putting two rookies in the bottom lane."

Moving into 2017, Bjergsen remarked that New Year's resolutions never work, but he has set some goals for himself heading into the next LCS season that can't be achieved on Summoner's Rift.

"The biggest things for me that I want to change as a pro player is just eating healthier, working out, staying healthier and kind of learning things outside of the game," he said. "Starting reading books on sports psychology and leadership, and these things that I can take that might apply to real sports or real life situations."

He said bringing about change in his life personally will help him improve as a professional player. Ultimately, though, Bjergsen is focused on personal growth heading into the first LCS season of 2017.

"[I want to be] not only focusing on the game and the mechanics and outplaying people, but also trying to learn about myself and become a smarter person."
