People keep saying that but I can't help but feel a lot of people are perceiving popularity as skill. Aphro and Pobelter aren't even the best Challenger players in their positions, there is no way Curse is trying to keep them from other teams.
I mean, neither of these players have ever succeeded in the pro scene. Aphro hasn't even played competitively since he was dropped from CLG, while Pobelter regularly gets beaten by other Challenger midlaners. I think there was like... a month where Curse Academy was considered good in January, but all the other teams he's been on (IO, Nickwu Tang Clan, etc.) have all done extremely poorly compared to some of the other Challenger teams like NWE/Cog/Denial/TBD/CoL/etc.
If anything, Curse realized how poor their new roster was, freaked out and tried to solve the mess by getting the best Challenger player (Quas) in the 11th hour.
Aphro I can agree with, but Pobelter has been hyped up by players from within the scene and I'm sure challenger teams would've wanted him.

Right after finishing a ranked match, game asked me a quick survey
"How satisfied are you that you unlocked Jinx?"
*looks up*
I think she's okay.

Aphromoo playing in a duo lane with Doublelift was a terrible idea since the two of them have completely contradictory play styles, and while many ADCs do have the skillset to play well as supports, Aphromoo never did. That was an idiotic move for everyone involved, including Aphro, who almost certainly would have qualified with Vulcun had he stayed on.
He's a ten hour a day player even when he's not on a pro team, he's a damn solid pick-up compared to some of the more mediocre pro ADCs like Cop, and unlike most of the Challenger teams he actually has significant LAN experience. I'm pretty sure several of them would have wanted to pick him up, had the option existed.
And 100% sure that he would have performed better than Cop. That is definitely not a switch they made based on any right-thinking. They would have never benched Cop to bring Aphro on in the first place if they felt the team was better with Cop; the only thing that's accomplished is to leave Cop feeling like crap after a season that already ended with him down in the dumps.
So, no. Definitely not, "Oh no, we've made a terrible mistake bringing on this new talent, let's scramble to 'fix' it with barely any time left before promotions!" There's something else that happened there. There may have been some friction between the new players and old players/management, which doesn't seem unlikely since Aphro is used to dealing with Gnomesayin, who is basically the polar opposite of Liquid.

Curse's new-new line-up is playing Coast in NACL right now. Not the greatest indicator of future performance (I don't expect most teams to take NACL very seriously if they're in relegation), but it'll be a look at Voy's midlane, at least.
Edit: Quas playing trash-tier Shen and Voyboy floundering on Orianna like he's literally never played her before. Okay, funny joke Curse, now what's your real line-up?

So I'm playing every single champ in the game A-Z solo que on 3v3 right now. Actually squared off against a premade GAF team when I got to Ezreal due to random circumstances.
Today I had to do the 'dong, which I was dreading. But actually...
Graves shut Kassadin down bad early but then got ganked by Lee constantly.
I said we should just push, and push we did. I got a triple kill off a bad altar contest on their part.
Sex.

First I will master the pokemans and then the League of Legends.
I don't have the patience nor the time to play the number of games it would take for me to get into Platinum. My goal for this season was to hit gold anyway so I'm not too bummed about it.

Maybe because they had two assassins and a burst ADC?
Sweeper is probably the most OP item on TT but I went for the ROA rush for the beef and cap for the teamfight havoc and it worked solid.
Not sold on Morellos for TT.

Terminator's players always have the best names. Not sure if it's "confirmation", but Voyboy just tried his hand at Orianna in NACL, yeah. The way he played, I'm not sure how long you can really expect that "confirmation" to stick. I'd imagine puszu has remained on Fnatic as a sub, at least for the moment - he's probably going to be a juicy-looking cut of meat for any team coming up through promotion.
The SK news is interesting. They've been on the edge for a while, I'm not entirely sure they can survive losing two of their better members. Their bot lane was never great to begin with, and Ocelotte isn't exactly a rock to build a team around.

Im really not sure about voyboy in mid.
the reasons for him mid are - he loves playing assassins/playmakers and he loves 1v1ing people.
problem is, hes a very aggressive player in the lane that has the most jungle attention. mid players cant be blindly aggressive or else theyd get punished real hard, so I wonder how that would affect him.

You know what would be cool?
If someone made a summary about every team in the LCS a few weeks before Season 4 begins, so people can get to know a little bit more about the teams before the Season begins. (But, who would have the time to do it?)
15 days left, still in Silver 2.
Oh how I regret don't trying to end discusions in my last two promos, I was so close to win the second game to move to Silver 1 in both series, hell, in one of those games we had all the inhibitor's towers, and we had already destroyed their nexus towers, and yet, because I didn't said anything after a bad teamfight, I let my team lose focus and lose the games.
Sigh, now, I had a very bad losing streak, I don't mind having bad teammates, everybody has a bad game every so often, but there's people that's really hard to carry, the kind of people who will chase a low health enemy from our wolves, to the enemy red, and worse, they won't listen that it wasn't a good idea to chase for a pointless kill. I don't mind bad people, or just teammates that gets outplayed by the other laner, but the people that do stuff like that, it really discourage me to keep playing.
Basically, I don't mind people that has a bad game, but I do mind people that refuse to cooperate in any way, and in some sense, has already given up, and are just trying to complete a personal vendetta against someone in the other team.

I will eternally refer to it as Bondage Fairies Eve. With the sale I guess more mediocre Eves will be using it. >.>
Also that A-Z champion thing sounds awesome. I want to do it, though it will probably take me 4+ more months to get the remaining 20-30 champions.

He actually does play a lot of potential mid champions (like Katarina, as noted above, though he played her more tanky), but... yeah. Especially considering S4 is trying to move the game away from assassin domination. I'd like to see him run some Kassadin and maybe Midalee, but he's got a pretty short window to do it in before the meta shifts away from the former, at least.
That said, there's a difference between playing mid champions and actually playing mid, especially at a professional level. As you noted, he doesn't really have the right "attitude" for mid, being more a fan of all-in champions and diving. Mid-lane jungle awareness is a lot more than just setting a ward and watching your opponent to see if they're acting weird, he's going to have a rough adjustment.
That game was terrible but at least Curse can only improve from there.
ZionSpartan on Riven was CSing better than his midlaner even though he was in a 1v2 lane. That should never, ever happen. Voyboy let Shiptur roam so hard and didn't punish him at all and I saw him use his ult on himself twice. IWD played like he was blind, engaging team fights when he had zero vision on the enemy team. Quas played alright early but when you put him into a 1v1 lane where he's down 22 CS to 70 CS because his duo let the enemy top laner free farm, that's a recipe for disaster.

Unless he plays ADC he will flounder horribly. Even then I don't think his transition will be nearly as successful as his SC2 career. Starcraft players haven't been transitioning to LoL very well at all.

NBJS WATCH QTPIE
but seriously hes probably an adc player. makes too much sense
I'm in the EXACT same boat. Lost two silver 1 promos. Hard losing streak. 0 LP

I want to say they see these games as a chance to gain the two of them practice on champions that are really important to the professional meta right now (Shen and Ori), but that they aren't predisposed toward playing. (Quas, not unlike Voyboy, is more about high-risk aggressive champions in top lane, like Top Aatrox. Voy certainly didn't seem comfortable on Orianna.)
Hopefully when they get to games that actually matter they'll have the two of them on champions they play well. I don't think Voy actually has enough time to learn Orianna on top of everything else he needs to learn to play mid.
Sounds bad man. If you tough it, the enemy team will get some disconnections, I promise
But there's nothing to gain from stopping ranked if you plan to play next season. If you keep playing, you can improve AND you can increase your MMR for the League reset. Forget about trying to get gold now, try to increase your chances of getting gold next season.

But nope, gotta ban her either "cuz she OP" or "cuz I had one go 0/9 last game".

First game ever as Jinx. Got forced into it in ranked.
13-4-11.
"forced into it"
yeah right
No really I was. I called mid ... first pick called jungle.
First pick then suddenly picks Annie.
I didn't want to take anyone elses roles that they called .... I picked 2nd. Jinx was open so I said fuck it ... lets try her out.

Heeeeeeeeere weeeeeee goooooo
legolas build (sorry scy) seems to be pretty good with her right now
using the ult to dodge a skillshot?
#noctmechanics
Whats the legolas build?
My favorite ult was a half hp incoming ult on me ... smacked the rocket right into her face ... splat.
Still had her targetting circle on me for like 2 seconds after she died.
Zombie Brand ....

its what you did. used commonly on varus in #esports
bt-lw-more swords
jinx minigun probably needs an AS% reduction. put the damage into the rocket at higher level instead
Ah ok.
I wasn't sure what to build on her but it seemed to work well.
With 3 stacks the mini-gun attack animation was just a steady stream of bullets. I am also guessing they will nerf.
Also crit Fishbones at the beginning of a team fight where the enemy was grouped. Ezreal and Zyra went down to like half hp ..
Gragas was really scary on their team though. Fuck that guy.
