Known Chinese ADC claims Allen and Cool will be playing jungle and mid for OMG

International Esports Tournament, AllStars, and the Spring LPL Playoffs exposed weaknesses for OMG, including Hu "xiyang" Bin's limited champion pool and Ouyang "pomelo" Wei-Qi's indecision in the jungle. Many fans cried out for the return of support player Yin "Allen" Le to the jungle and Yu "Cool" Jia-Jun to the mid lane.

According to a screenshot taken from a player's stream, fans might just get their wish. A known solo queue AD carry, 衡阳第一艾迪西丶, claimed to have received offers to join OMG as a substitute player and to join LGD Gaming as a starter. As he discusses his options with his friend, a former teammate of World Elite Academy's new support player, Yuzhe, he reveals that "xiyang has returned home" and that "Cool and Allen will play mid and jungle" for OMG.

衡阳第一艾迪西丶: LGD manager invited me.

霸哥: If you join a professional team, you will improve a lot. If you choose OMG, you'll be a sub. Shouldn't choose OMG.

衡阳第一艾迪西丶: OMG Xiyang left. LGD.Star said I will not be a sub [if he joins LGD].

霸哥: Where did Xiyang go?

衡阳第一艾迪西丶: Don't know. Cool and Allen play as Mid&Jungle.

霸哥: If you go to OMG, which position?

衡阳第一艾迪西丶: They said I will be the sub of San. If San does not do well, I can play in LPL.

衡阳第一艾迪西丶 is a young, talented player, and is not unlikely that he would be given an offer to join OMG as a substitute.

In addition to this captured conversation, Allen has also verbally told fans on his stream that he will be playing jungle next split.

Given Cool's performance at the tailend of the Spring LPL, he may not yet be up to the form that garnered him fame at the 2013 World Championships. In addition, though Allen is versatile and has made a swap between support and jungle twice before, a split away from the jungle may have caused his skill to decay, and he may require an adjustment period to become comfortable with the new meta.

Even then, OMG has had problems with decision-making that may not necessarily be due to their roster. Time will tell of this much-anticipated roster swap occurs or if it will fix OMG's problems.
