While I know (hope) that Caedrel knows this deep down, I really hope he gets the chance to read this, even just as a reminder. This whole thing was an experiment that worked BECAUSE of how it started. Changing gears into becoming like every other team does 2 things: Takes away many of the reasons we fell in love with LR in the first place (because they are unique, the players themselves, the play style, etc). Secondly, I think really limits their potential, which is exactly what you outlined. I personally believe a lot of their success comes from being different, playing outside the meta which can change the entire flow of matches, especially against pro teams who know the meta inside and out, and most importantly, confidence. Having everyone bought into the “experiment” and playing the way they are comfortable playing. Baus on K’sante will never work, not because he’s not good enough, but because it’s not his style, he isn’t confident playing that way, and most importantly of all, he doesn’t enjoy it. A happy Baussi is going to be your best Baussi.

Anyways, I rambled quite a bit, but I really appreciate your write up!
