League of Legends: 10 Players DIG/IMT should pick up for LCS return
By Shay Coleman
Yusui
We have to let some rookies join the league, right? David “Yusui” Bloomquist is the current mid-laner for Echo Fox Academy. Similarly to Dardoch, Yusui is the primary carry for FOXA, being the main source of their wins. He’s proven over the course of this split that if he can get into an advantageous position he can provide the big wins, but if he can’t, then the wins won’t come.
If either DIG or IMT wants to take a chance on a new NA resident mid-laner, they can take Yusui off FOX’s hands once his contract expires at the end of this year. If they don’t want to take a chance on an NA mid, we have the perfect option.
Jiizuke
Daniele “Jiizuke” di Mauro was considered one of the best mid-laners in Europe during his freshman season in the then EU LCS. The Italian mid, known for his Ekko play, lead Vitality to two separate playoff berths, placing 4th in Spring and 3rd in Summer.
They even managed to secure a trip to the World Championships where they came 3rd in a close race which ended in a tie-breaker loss to Cloud9. There is no doubt in our minds that Jiizuke would be one of the best mid-laners in the league if he joined one of these returning teams and with his contract expiring at the end of the year, it would be a serious pick-up if they could entice him away from his beloved EU.
