After how well the Fnatic/Pronax/November Shuffle thread worked, I figured rather than having each individual action get its own thread after Columbus, we may as well keep it in one place again.
Nothing SUPER major yet, couple org changes and either some potential changes or just NA trolling, and a potential thorin/esl reunion.
Org moves:
YouPorn dropped CSGO, meaning DavCost, Dima, S0tF1k, arch and kibaken are without an org. For as long as they're without an organization, they've decided to play under the banner "Phenomenon".
As for another orgless team with previous Major attendees, Team Ancient, which is Lekr0, Schneider (Although he's znajder now?), Pronax, pauf and tw1st are (sort of) following the Astralis route. Rather than a team initiative, pronax found a capital investor named Toms Martin, and the two of them are the co-owners of their new brand "Godsent".
NA trolling or actual shuffle?:
Starts with mOE tweeting out "This is the first major lan that the NAshuffle spams havent followed. Let me be the first to say NAshuffle is coming"
Shahzam followed it up with a meme of brace yourself a shakeup is coming
https://twitter.com/OpTic_ShahZaM/status/717461406350721024
Kioshima is of course still teamless, although on stream he apparently said he's attending Dreamhack malmo. With maikelele leaving Faze, that's the most obvious fit, although you never know with NA orgs throwing tons of money.
And some brit named Surreal joined the complexity roster, which, with deph already there, is of course leading to speculation someone could find a better team or be cut.
So with all this NA speculation, and at the minimum 2 great players being teamless, I felt it was probably a good time to make this thread.
Potential Thorin return to ESL:
Also on a casting talent level, one of the ESL VPs, Ulrich Schulze (theflyingdj) had a twitter exchange with Thorin, offering a paid trip to the proleague finals as a guest to open conversations. I guess after how entertaining Cluj Napoca and Columbus' analyst desks were they felt they need Thorin to compete :>

He tweeted it out back on April 2nd. HLTV has a thread on it
Thread: http://www.hltv.org/news/17477-maikelele-announces-faze-exit
Tweet: https://twitter.com/FaZeMaikelele/status/716459912017141760
Since he's had a series of other tweets:
Nukes hard, not sure how long until his next game or for which team
How he'll miss Robban

I think you're right, but still, did he really have to change how it's spelled?

One thing I forgot to mention, Dreamhack has announced they're doing Dreamhack Canada, and will announce in just over 24 hours where in Canada it's taking place. It's expected to be montreal though because someone found that montreal.dreamhack.com is a functioning site, even though it just goes to nothing right now, a simple teal background.
The official timer is on dreamhack.ca.
Personally, I'm hoping it's not Montreal, hoping it's Vancouver, but that's solely because of where I live. I'm assuming it will be one of their smaller tournaments, but I would find it somewhat comical that if after the success of MLG Columbus, dreamhack is making Dreamhack Canada with the intent of another NA major. Regardless, I still find it funny that it popped up almost immediately following Columbus.
One last thing, Nerd Rage have posted that with Surreal joining the complexity roster, he is, in fact, actually on trial with Complexity, so I'm curious to see who he's on trial to replace.

EDIT: Also Godsent's logo. Fixed the thorin image in the first post too:

It won't be Vancouver if they're at all intelligent. I'd love it, but the West just doesn't have the population density to make it as viable as the East.

what does population density have to do with anything?
there's more than enough csgo fans in bc/washington state to fill a stadium if that's what you mean.

rumours have it roca is going to cloud9.
maikelele also hinted at playing with pita (joining clg?) some speculation about cutler's place in the team, too.

doubt they would cut cutler, hes been in that team since incarnation. Its more likely to be Fugly if roca does go to CLG

Maybe legija wants to return to Europe? Would be one of the only reasons I could think of. That or them landing Maikelele or Kioshima, but lord knows that's not happening.

I think they shouldn't cut hazed he preformed really well at Columbus if anyone it will be culter. Tarik and Jdm really stepped up at the major as well. Fugly is still pretty new to the team as well so they arent going to shuffle him around yet.

So according to Richard Lewis, moe will actually be involved in the NA shuffle.
http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2016/04/07/echofox-cs-team-looking-to-make-big-change/
Basically says that echofox is keeping moe/sgares but could cut any/all of ryx/tck/a2z.
Article notes that echo has poked around on Roca (and now with him being removed from col that just adds fule)
It also suggest Freakazoid, having been both sean and moes former teammate. Would definitely further the extent of the shuffle.
