After post-Worlds roster turnover left Team SoloMid with more open positions than returning starting players, it appears the North American power’s roster has been set. TSM announced the additions of top laner Hauntzer, jungler Svenskeren and support KaSing in a video Saturday.

Hauntzer helped lead Gravity to a surprisingly strong Summer Split performance, as the team finished fourth in the regular season standings (one place above TSM). Hauntzer ranked sixth among North American top laners in KDA last split at 3.9. He also ranked fourth in kill participation (71.9 percent) and third in average gold differential at 10 minutes (35.6).
Svenskeren spent the last three years with SK Gaming, where he earned a reputation as one of the top junglers in Europe. He ranked sevent among EU junglers in KDA last split (2.5) and sixth in kill participation (71.2 percent), but a poor split from SK Gaming saw the team relegated to the Challenger Series. Svenskeren was previously suspended by Riot before Worlds in 2014 after making an account with a racially insensitive name while playing on the Taiwanese server.
Along with AD Carry Hjarnan, KaSing formed one of the most potent bottom lane duos in Europe last split with H2K. He ranked third among all EU supports in kill participation (74.0 percent) and fourth in wards per minute (1.29). KaSing was also fifth at Worlds in kill participation (83.1 percent), albeit in just six games. First place, by the way? TSM mid laner Bjergsen (also in just six games).
These moves follow the addition of former CLG AD Carry Doublelift, one of the top performing players in North America. TSM will be one six teams participating in next weekend’s IEM San Jose.
