Huni, Reignover, WildTurtle headline Immortals' 2016 Spring NA LCS roster

Immortals, the team that acquired Team 8's North American League of Legends Championship Series spot, have revealed their starting lineup for 2016 NA LCS Spring in cooperation with the Daily Dot.

Immortals announced they had acquired the Team 8 LCS spot in October and have been silent on team developments since. Backed by a venture capital group, fans had high hopes for the lineup, which is as follows:

Top: Heo "Huni" Seunghoon
Jungle: Kim "Reignover" Yeujin
Mid: Eugene "Pobelter" Park
ADC: Jason "WildTurtle" Tran
Support: Adrian "Adrian" Ma

Huni and Reignover left Fnatic for the North American LCS earlier this offseason in search of new opportunities. In response, teammate Martin "Rekkles" Larsson released a video on the salary discrepancy between North American and European LCS teams.

Fnatic made the 2015 World Championship semifinals before losing 0-3 to KOO Tigers. Huni was given the European LCS "Rookie of the Split" award earlier this spring. Both were known for playing more aggressive champions with high damage builds.

Pobelter played for Counter Logic Gaming in the 2015 North American LCS. He functioned as a low resource mid laner, facilitating the rest of the team. Despite a young age, Pobelter has had a long League of Legends pro career and has a great deal of experience he can bring to the table.

WildTurtle received a lot of criticism in 2015 for low damage games and getting caught out while playing for Team SoloMid. WildTurtle has yet to play for an LCS team other than TSM, and Immortals could provide him a fresh start.

Adrian placed the most wards per minute in the North American LCS in 2015 Summer. Though he was initially replaced, he was later brought back to Team Impulse after Yu "XiaoWeiXiao" Xian was banned for elo boosting.

The team will be accompanied by a strong support staff, including ex-Team SoloMid analyst Dylan Falco as head coach, eSports psychologist Ropert Yip as assistant coach, and ex-Heroes of Newerth player, Jung Kang, to round out the staff.

According to the Daily Dot, owner Noah Whinston prioritized "flexible players" when signing the roster and avoided simply going for major names. Immortals will debut their roster in the North American LCS next year.
