Reason for SoaR roster changes

Hurriwind: Hurriwind was benched/kicked after a team meeting that consisted of everyone on the team plus another respected player in the scene that knew our team dynamic very well. A majority of the people in that meeting agreed that attitude wise and mechanics wise snoopy was a stronger mid, so we decided as a team to use snoopy for the upcoming split.



Homiefe: Homiefe's situation is a little more complicated because it wasn't a kick it was a leave. Since none of you actually know Homiefe, he has a unique personality in game and out of game especially at the beginning of the split where he would get intimidated/frightened easily. Many times he said to our team that players such as omega or andi with imposing personality were "scary" or "intimidating" to the point where he wouldn't even talk to them if they came in our TS to play different games. That said and having never worked with anyone in real life or in game with that kind of personality I never worked well with homi in game and even out of game when me jigz hurriwind and met would try to talk to him about any other topic other than smite he would shell up and not talk to us. This continued for a month until Homi and the team talked to me one day that I should try to be more sensitive around him. It was brought up that my troll personality (I am a troll) and my jokes were making him uncomfortable so for the month leading up to dreamhack, I tried to communicate with him minimally outside and in game because I knew that I would upset him if I made the wrong joke or just messed with him in a way that would be fine with any other person. Homi said in him post that "Baskin was not nearly trying as hard as he was in the beginning of the split and he was showing up late to scrims" which is literally the biggest lie/exaggeration I have ever heard. I showed up late to two scrims during that time period, and there was literally one scrim were I was tired/not feeling well and I didn't communicate and didnt try. This was one of out probably 80 or so scrims we've had this split (estimate). For the month that we were preparing for dreamhack, Jigz and Met agreed that while I was too insensitive to homi before, there were no problems. But Homi and Hurri still continued to believe there were problems, which was literally impossible because I made to sure to only communicate to them ever during scrims, and only about calls and information. There was one time in scrims a week before dreamhack that homi muted me in scrims and after dreamhack he told the team that he was lying which led to met getting upset at him. During dreamhack everything was fine and we got 2nd. It was basically the same as before, we would try to talk to homi, he wouldnt respond, and we would be confused. After dreamhack snoopy asked to join as mid, and we decided to get snoopy. Homi was extremely upset by this because homi wanted to play with hurri while we didn't and he was homi's best friend on the team. This lead to homi creating a groupchat with everyone and calling me a "cancerous retard" that he would never team with. In response to this met and bickum defended me saying that I was a problem before dreamhack but at dreamhack and the month before dreamhack he was the one that was creating the problems. Jigz was sleeping through this and woke up when it was over. After things settled down homi said he would still stay on the team but now it obvious that he just said that as insurance while he secured a spot on denial. During this time we were all upset at homi for his immaturity so we decided to ask a jungler to join, but he was hesitant until he declined.



Sorry for the long post but I feel like this should be posted. I have no idea why homi decided to take to twitter to slander me, but all I can say is because of a personal vendetta. In regards to met and jigz the other players on the team, initially they were on homi's side, but as I got better attitude wise and homi got worse attitude wise, they grew upset at homi. Speaking from an objective point of view, keeping two players who play core roles in the team is more important than keeping a player who plays a side lane.
