The coach apparently said that he and lovelin started arguing half-way through the series vs starhorn. I guess his attitude didn't change but now they have an off-season to find another support that isn't bad for team atmosphere.
Liquid openly stated that he offered Piglet a spot as the teams starting adc like the day after he got cut. Piglet in an open response to his fans, not related directly to curse a couple of days later, said he had multiple offers in the west but he wasn't interested in "giving up"
then that was the last of it until this forgiven post.

=( If only they just went ahead and got along, it should've been an OMG 3-1 ....

The other thing the coach said is that he was the one that wanted them to teamfight in the game against insec's fiddle so uuuh.
Yeah http://www.esportsheaven.com/news/view/64589 Xaxus/Estoymuyfresh/Purefect/Jebus/Dioud spotted in ranked 5s Apparently according to people that watched estoymuyfresh's stream he's going to SKP and is just standing in until this team finds a jungler
ImsoFresh with his "i will carry you always" mentality is last guy i want to see in SKP with their midgame plans, lol. Still think, that if dexter joined them, they could easily make LCS, on the other hand, if they're going to take {M} part of bracket with no possible H2K until final four winners bracket finals, they're in pretty good spot and we will learn, what org is sister org to SK/business partner to SK.
I worry a little bit that Ram gives up too much privileged information, but hopefully they learn to balance it out a little bit to not actually burn bridges. Love the format, love the hosts, love the show.
http://lol.esportspedia.com/wiki/2015_LPL_Spring/Promotion LPL promos brackets out, four slots because expanded LPL and no best of 1 tilt luck (RIP RSTARS) R1 matches: YG vs Vici Stand Gaming EP vs EP.Carries WE.A vs DK Wings of Aurora vs Gamtee Fengui
For those that don't follow LSPL: Team king and snake Q aren't here because they're automatically seeded into LPL The favourites are the LPL teams and energy pacemaker Wings of aurora's mid laner was the season MVP (Albeit to much criticism)

I enjoy it, but I wonder if there's going to be enough "gossip/transfer" content to keep it going during the regular season when rosters are relatively stable. The first few weeks of the offseason are gold mines for this sort of stuff, but it's going to quieten down a lot.
I'm only midway through the VOD, but the discussion about EG-ALL-CLG-AlexGarfield-Goodgame-conglomerate was very good the caller came prepared and richard has a lot of insight. Starts around minute 50.
He started another show recently called first blood with Nintendude as a guest. I thought it was pretty good.
First Blood is pretty good, but not particularly outstanding (to me).
What I find as really valuable content from Richard Lewis is his insight and know-how of the business/organisational/political(?!) side epsorts. I say esports and not league because I used to follow SCII, currently self-identify as a DotA2 fan, follow League and sort-of follow CS:GO. Anyhow, it's a niche unique to Richard Lewis and Richard Lewis alone; whereas the things he talks about on First Blood so far, player transfers/performance/experience, is pretty much covered in every other League talk show, except with arguably more depth depending on the specific topic.
But yeah, tell me more about the business side of League, Richard! I want to know what's going on behind the scenes! +_+

Well Ram is a good guy, but he has always been craving for attention. So burning bridges is almost a given. :D

And I cant imagine a team in the premier Korean league wont find a sponsor. Also smaller sponsors might be more willing to come forward now as they dont get choked out by 2 teams from the big guys. It will also be cheaper now as you dont have to finance 2 teams anymore to have any chance of competing.
Difference is smaller sponsors won't have the infrastructure to set up a team to be nearly as successful. At least with the way teams are set up, the separation seems to be top 6-8 teams from the bottom 8. With the narrowing of big teams, there's going to be an even bigger separation between top 4 and the rest.
Well what do you really need. A team house and 2 coaches maybe. Should be doable for almost every sponsor.
I also dont see why top teams should now be even farther away from bot teams, when both have no sister teams now. Also there should be more talent available for the small teams if the big guys have to drop players. I see only the big teams suffering from this. It still depends very much on the format though. If it stays like before bottom teams will still get very little exposure. With some league system (which I suspect they will do) small guys will be better off.
For Korea (and mayyyyybe SEA) the removal of sister teams = indirect removal of extra funding.
Samsung provides more funding for their B team than say, BigFileMiracle ever will for their A team. CJEntus will drop more money for their B team more than Prime will for their A team. When you take away the B team from the big-name orgs, the funds/resources originally allocated into the B team won't magically all be transferred over to the A team. There's no point.
Logically the conclusion is that the scene essentially downsizes, with the degree of downsizing = difference between big-name B team and small/no-name A team. I don't see how this is good. The players are losing out in the end. Sure they still have their jobs, but the pay/working conditions aren't as great anymore (not saying prime or BFM is bad, just not-as-good-as-Samsung/SKT/CJEntus)
Someone correct if I'm grossly mistaken, but this how my layman brain is processing things.
I don´t know about gleeb on the show, he seemed not to be in a condition to keep his thoughts straight for 2 hours :/ Such a pity because i think he´s a really likeable guy

He'd recently started a new medication, so it's messing with him while his body adjusts.
Does he have any experience/leadership qualities or he's just doing it because 'lol regi did it'? Stick to streaming kid, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
