Misfits roster being purged of non-Swedes?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Competitiveoverwatch/comments/5glh6f/misfits_roster_dissolved/

Why would they drop a top3 team that just changed a player and won a tournament to get a completely different roster?
This is really weird, not sure why they would change anything until they go to a few more lans.

Is this because of League being announced?

Preparation for Overwatch League ?

Wouldn't they be able to just move to NA like most other t1 teams are doing? Unless some people in the roster don't want to move I guess.

You don't need players from the same country/place. You just need to be based in one place. I heard that cooller said on his stream that it was specifically tviq shaking things up in order to create a swedish only team around himself. GG both rogue and misfits?

i think a few of them are still working/studying.

misfits: tvique, nevix, reinforce, zebbosai, manneten, zave
luminosity: eissfieldt, kryw, spree, superplouk, mineral, hidan

Stolen from reddit, couldn't bother to write it myself.

will kryw play dps in in luminosity? o: thought of him as a zarya.
but spree is also a zarya player.

thats cool.
i'm so hyped for the new rosters to play

Reading that hollywood.com article, are these reasons of same culture/language just excuses or is there really something to them? All of these teams have been massively successful speaking english to each other. Including envyus, who won a major korean tournament with one guy from thailand, let alone EU/NA.

Sounds like complete bullshit that's hiding actual reasons, like maybe misfits deciding their comp was untenable long term (not something i agree with, but they could think that), and deciding to pay money for other players, triggering other moves.

Dang, from the Gosu rankings list, 4 of the 5 top teams have now revamped their rosters.

I think you're underestimating how much easier it is to make comms in your native language. I think it'll be a small hit for now, but in the long term they'll be much better for it.

Rogue is already doing that with full baguet roster though. Atleast what CEO is crying to MLG
