In the growing and evolving age of neckbreak competition amongst eSports, players are beginning to take every advantage they can against other teams.
Taipei Asassins just took it to the next level by hiring a theorycraft, wherein his job is self explanatory. The individual comes from one of the most prestigious universities in Taiwain (NTU) and has been renowned for his shoutcasting ability. The man met the mid laner of TPA 'Toyz' initially through solo queue and also would make appearances on TESL, which is played on national television.
After having a rough time facing off against other asian teams in the SWL, Taipei Assassins welcomed him, citing that theorycrafting is important outside of mechanical play "because you need to be dedicated in order to fully analyze everything, which takes away from practice time."
While TPA feels strong, they also feel they are behind on the Season 3 strategy and have started recently utilizing the Korean emphasis on heavy early tower-pushing. One thing to note is this is not the first team to acquire such a role for the team, as World Elite and Invictus Gaming already have these labeled as "data analyst" as part of their strict infrastructure.
