It's that time of year again. With the Spring Splits officially coming to a close, we're in for a fresh batch of roster changes.

Some of these moves were expected, while others will surely manage to turn a few heads. The only thing that we know for sure is that the competitive landscape will yet again be changed by the time the Summer Split kicks off.

This article will keep track of every official roster move that takes place between now and the start of the split and will be updated periodically over the course of the next few weeks..

Fnatic have announced the addition of Martin "Rekkles" Larsson as their new starting AD Carry. Larsson was previously on Fnatic in 2014 before moving to Elements. However, his time on Elements was considered less than optimal by many and Fnatic's prodigal son returns to the organization that groomed him during his rookie years.

Counter Logic Gaming has announced that Austin "Link" Shin has decided to leave the organization and have added Eugene "Pobelter" Park and Choi "HuHi" Jae-Hyun as replacements. The move is seemingly inspired by SKT T1's rotations of Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok and Easyhoon - which have been contentious to say the least.

Elements have announced their League of Legends roster for the 2015 Summer Split. Consisting of Jesper "Jwaow" Strandgren, Marcel "dexter" Feldkamp, Henrik "Froggen" Hansen, Erik "Tabzz" van Helvert and Hampus "promisQ" Abrahamsson, the new roster is a drastic change from the one that struggled during the 2015 Spring Split. It remains to be seen if the new roster can become European Champions.

OMG has transferred Fang "dada7" Hong-Ri to Team WE. Let me say that again, Hong-Ri is most likely going to be the new support for WE as Zhang "YuZhe" Zhe and Ke "Conan" Yi have both stated that they do not like playing in the current WE team. Based on previous history, this can only end badly. But then again, history doesn't always repeat itself.

Cloud9 have announced that Nicolaj "Incarnati0n" Jensen will be the new starting midlaner for the team heading into the summer split. Incarnati0n had an extensive trial with Cloud9 along with other North American mid laners such as David "Yusui" Bloomquist. Jensen will be the third Danish midlaner to play in the North American LCS following TSM's Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg and former Coast Mid laner Jesse "Jesiz" Le .

Team Fusion have disbanded their league of roster and announced that they will be shifting to a branding agency. The newly dubbed Fusion eSports will provide sponsorship, branding, and content solutions to teams.

Gambit have announced that they have picked up former SK Gaming AD Carry Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou. Tzortziou and Edward "Edward" Abgaryan have always wanted to play together and have constantly duo queued with each other. Now it's up to them to prove to everyone that they're a world class bot lane.

SK Gaming have announced that Adrian "CandyPanda" Wübbelmann has re-joined the team, replacing Konstantinos "FORG1VEN" Tzortziou. Wübbelmann's return comes amidst a turbulent time for SK Gaming, with internal strife being suggested as the main reason for the replacement.

Misfits has announced Jebus will be joining their team, however, Gamers 2 have stated that Jebus is still under contract. Jebus is expected to join Misfits within the month, as long as his visa is approved.

Marcin "Kori" Wolski has left Meet Your Makers after a controversial season. The mid laner has announced that he is looking for a new team. Wolski's tenure with MYM was controversial as MYM former manager threatened to move Kori's mother from her house.

SK Gaming's manager Joe 'InnerFlame' Elouassi has announced that he would be leaving SK Gaming. Elouassi's departure comes amidst a first place finish with SK in the 2015 Spring Split and a disappointing fourth place playoff finish.

Innerflame has been someone who's always followed his ideals and valued the respect given to him. His statement only served to support that. It's sad that SK is possibly heading down a stagnant path but I'm glad innerflame has made a stand.

Mimer "Mimer" Ahlström has announced that he has left MeetYourMakers and is now a free agent. He has stated that he is looking for a coaching position.

EDG announced that they have picked up renowned top-laner Bok "Reapered" Han Gyu as their new Korean coach. Han Gyu was present during the finals versus LGD Gaming and has been helping the Korean players during the playoffs.

He's in good hands to learn about the coaching. And his reputed game knowledge from when he was with SKT is quite strong, so if he has kept up on his insights, he'll also pull his weight. It's possible a Korean member of the coaching staff is useful when dealing with a mixed roster.

Origen has added former ROCCAT coach Titus "Ducky" Hafner as their coach heading into the summer split. This move is quite controversial as Hafner was viewed as one of the main reasons for ROCCATS' lackluster performance throughout the 2015 Spring Split.

I expect nothing but good things from Origen. From the players to the support staff, it's well structured. Adding Ducky to that supportive team will only solidify an already strong team.

Mitch "Krepo" Voorspoels has retired from professional gaming. The Belgian announced that he no longer enjoyed playing the game at a professional level. Voorspoels' retirement comes as a surprise to many who expected him to play in the summer split with the new Elements roster.

Funnily enough, it feels too early for Krepo. With the new Elements roster being speculated, Krepo felt like a perfect fit. Morale goes a long way though, and last split must've done a number to it. I hope he stays in eSports and challenges himself in some new venture.

Cloud9's captain and shotcaller Hai "Hai" Du Lam has retired from professional gaming. Du Lam had been instrumental to Cloud9's success in the North American LCS and was widely regarded as one of the best shotcallers in the world.

This is tough for me to say, since I don't have a lot of background knowledge on the inner-workings of C9's main roster, and their decision making. This could be broken down into two different segments though: Hai moving forward in C9, and C9 moving forward without Hai. I think one of the biggest reasons Hai chose to retire was the fact that he had his wrist injury. Being the upstanding and respectful player that Hai is, it seemed as if he was making the decision for the team to find a new mid-laner, which is something they maybe didn't or couldn't make on their own given how longstanding that roster is. In my mind, Hai made a big sacrifice for the betterment of his team which I want to see the new mid-lane take up and play for. Overall I think they can only improve with some of the options they have available currently in Pobelter, Yusui, and Incarnati0n. It's who's going to show up and show the team, Jack, and Hai that they have as big of drive and passion that their former mid-laner had to succeed.

Gambit Gaming released their head coach Jordan "Leviathan" Thwaites. The team cited that Thwaites had lost interest in coaching and was dedicating more time with his social media. Gambit are now looking for a suitable head coach to replace Thwaites.

Gambit seems to be an org on the brink of change with personalities on the team and it got somewhat confirmed with Laviathan's ousting. A negative team environment that can sap the energy out of players and especially the coach is something worrying for the team. I don't think this will be the last change and hope Laviathan well.

Siu "Chris" Keung has stepped down as the coach of Starhorn Royal Club. His departure comes as SHRC failed to re-qualify for the 2012 LPL Summer split. Keung joined SHRC in October of 2012 and helped lead the team to two consecutive World Championship finals.

Chris had both a successful career as a gamer for iG and Canis Lupis, and as a coach for Star Horn Royal Club, reaching two Worlds finals and performing well at regional qualifiers. Unfortunately, when teams fall as far as Royal Club did, someone will have to take responsibility, and he has chosen to do so. Royal Club had a lot of issues with drafting, and it's unclear how much of an influence had in that regard. He's said he isn't leaving esports completely, and I'm sure he'll do well wherever he turns up next.

William "Scarra" Li stepped down as the coach of Counter Logic Gaming. Li's departure comes amidst a result of yet another poor performance by Counter Logic Gaming. CLG stated that the retirement was Scarra's decision.

I'm not sure how much replacing Scarra will affect CLG's current issues, considering the team has always had sort of a revolving door atmosphere. I think there have been so many changes to CLG it's hard to say what will work for them. I think as long as they have Tony though the team will always have a fighting chance. I really respect him so I'm sure anyone that he feels is capable will be up to the job. I don't think this change will be enough though, so I'm curious to see if there will be any roster changes in the off season.

Roccat have replaced their head coach Titus "Ducky" Hafner with former Meet Your Makers head coach Jakob "YamatoCannon" Mebdi. Mebdi previously was a substitute for the 2013 European LCS team Lemondogs.

Roccat needs to find a way to translate practice into on stage results and I'm not sure if this was the needed change but as long as they have faith and respect for Yamato I'm sure it'll work out.

Dignitas' European Challenger Series team has instituted a number of roster changes. Former G2 jungler Dennis "Obvious" Sørensen and former MYM support player Nicolai "Nisbeth" Nisbeth have replaced Ram "Brokenshard" Djemal and Erih "Voidle" Sommermann. Djemal moved to the Head Coach position, replacing John "Rnglol" Crichton while Sommermann departed the team.

I think that this Team Dignitas roster can be the best in Europe. This squad has the sheer talent, especially at Mid and Jungle, to accomplish a lot of things. However, given how Top Lane has the most team-fight impact in the current Meta-Game, I'd like to see more out of Wunderwear. I challenge Martin and DIG.EU's coaching staff to put consistently put him in a position to have high match influence- much more than last season, at the very least

Former Team Coast and Final Five support player Jamie "Sheep" Gallagher joined the North American Challenger team Cloud9 Tempest. Despite Team Coast's dismal showing in the 2015 NA LCS Spring Split, Sheep was regarded as one the team's better players.

With Sheep joining Cloud9 Tempest they get an amazing player with a lot of experience in the competitive scene, and he's at the very least an improvement over Intense given that Intense was an ADC main to begin with. What I question is his drive and motivation, why is he playing with this roster, and how much does he beleive in it. Not very long ago, when both F5 and Coast we're failing, he said if I remember correctly that he would retire if he wasn't in the NALCS next split. Yet I was surprised when I heard and saw him trying out and playing on the C9T roster. With recent tournaments and leagues they've always been at the top, but they're not that unbeatable team that many feared at the beginning of the year. Can this be contributed to the fact that we have some very strong teams in Frank Fang, Misfits, CLGB and Elomingle that are able to challenge that old power, or is it the fact that they just aren't as good anymore? Its tough to say, but one things for certain, I definitely want to see Sheep step up and get his team into the NACS, which they are definitely capable of, so as long as we are in different brackets of course

Team Fusion has announced that former Complexity player Royce “Bubbadub” Newcomb has joined the team as an analyst. Newcomb was previously the support player for Complexity and was most famous for his mustache.

I don't know what'll happen to Fusion, but I hope they stick around in the NACS. Bubbadub honestly feels like coach material with his mature personality and experience. I'm sure he has more than enough knowledge to perform well as an analyst.
