Auf Wiedersehen, Yellowpete.

Nooo, not our Yellowpete! Nooo. Although...on second thought...Evil Geniuses have been having a rough patch, bottom lane hasn't been fabulous, and there's no denying Altec has serious talent. Sure, we don't like seeing anyone replaced, especially when they've been with us for so long, but player swaps have become a necessary evil in the NA LCS, and I don't doubt there will be more of them as this split gets underway.  

(Wait..didn't I beat you in this game?)

Yellowpete bowed out graciously on the Evil Genuises' website, saying, "There is no arguing about the fact that my performance within the last couple of months has not been what I want or the team needs it to be. After closely watching the tryouts period, I believe that this is a change that can have a positive effect on the team's performance. Altec is a very talented, young player whom I could see a lot of growth in and I'm looking forward to helping him transition into the LCS from the Challenger scene."

Cutest Pro NA Competition!

We asked for your nominations and there were some clear cut favorites:

1. Snoopeh

Besides being an amazing Jungler and a ridiculously gorgeous man, Snoopeh has the Snoopeh Stare...a dangerous look of total domination that would have even Christian Grey begging for a spanking. There are few fan girls who wouldn't put him on the top of their list...but he's clearly a man's man too. :)

2. Krepo

Krepo isn't just adorable...he's also an excellent support...the guy we all want behind us when we sneak into the bushes. Okay, let's face it. He is just adorable!!

3. Imaqtpie

They say that one of the main points of attraction to the opposite sex is how they make you feel about yourself. Qtpie may lack classic good looks, but he exudes a shamanistic charm and warmth that makes you feel good about the world.  You can eat a cookie around this man without feeling any guilt. Hell, you can eat a steak, fries and a vanilla shake, smoke a funny cigarette and take a nap on the couch and wake up feeling fine as fuck. He is eternal sunshine. He is peace and rainbows. He's also the only actual American on our Cutest NA Pro list!

Honorable mentions: Yellowpete, Balls, Doublelift and Dyrus all got mentions but not enough to make our TOP Three, and yet, I'm sure ther's not a one of us would kick them out of our lanes. They're all WORTH in my eyes!

Be sure to choose your favorite on my poll in the sidebar above so we can crown "Cutest Pro NA" next week!
