I recall that there was a rumor about walle joining up with Lemondogs, which would have included moddii, but it was refuted by the latter, so I'm not sure.

no new team for walle, zet, sunde, moddii, or BARBARR yet but zet has been playing a lot in America and BARBARR has been playing a lot as well.. that would be amazing if they did create that Lemondogs lineup, they could be one of the best in the world imo, if they took it seriously..with walle as IGL would help them out sooooo much they would be my new favorite team if that happened :D

f0rest switching to SK makes the difference, even comparing it to the 'SK/NiP drama' you refer to.
