2016/17 Offseason Rumours, Gossip, Shens.....and maybe some stuff that's true

Means at least 1 spot maybe 2 for sale...will a team like PPArena come out of left field and buy a spot...or will they just pick from the SPL folks. I think they'll sell the spots. I'd love to see a scratch team buy the spot for the fun.

First time in Atlantic City? Gonna be hot as hell there and humid.

Heat pick up Nico Hyde and Devan Stuart.
Monville playing again for them.

If Heat don't play the Mills, do they offer up their spot for sale, or do they take Ramstein Instinct up from SPL.

Rob Velez leaves Aftershock. Some massive roster changes for them.

Initially it belongs to Heat to sell and new team would need to change the name.However if no takers appear it returns to mills .

Would be interesting to see if they do sell it. They've had links with fivestar lleida. My guess would be them to purchase the spot if its up for grabs.

5 star is doing tryouts for SPL/Div1/Div 2 teams, they may very well try and buy up a spot. That'd be cool to see.

Are there any major teams that shoot Luxe's in SPL? Their market share amongst the top teams would seem to be shrinking if I look at it from a purely sponsorship view of what gets on the pro field/and on the web cast. It's just TonTons and Heat that I can think off...everyone else is DYE, Planet Eclipse and some MacDev teams.

5 star are DLX

5 star are DLX

Thought they were all SP/Shockers.

Thought they were all SP/Shockers.

SP and Luxe ,all part of the same .Outcast shot Luxe and the released Shocker. 5 star have the cash .They employ 3 US pros .Both teams came over a week early for this year's CCup...............still sucked. They have been throwing cash at their franchise for several years .GB team trained pre Nations Cup in 2015 .They had as many coaching and pit staff as GB had players .The SPL Tigers chopped them up . It's the Lasheras family I think since 2 of them have been ever present . IMO Disruption and 15's both better teams ,just not the budget of 5 star.

Yea I know there's a SP/DLX connection, didn't know how strict they had to adhere to a platform or not.

I bet they'll lose Monville now with him back playing for Heat, and with Ryan Smith coaching for Heat, don't think he'll be back either. Leaving just Tim. They may pick up new guys though.
