https://www.facebook.com/forg1ven247/posts/347400958717935 huge positive news coming also! And candy is gone from SK. Oh my http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2jpm1t/rekkles_possibly_leaving_fnatic/ Rekkles has removed connections to fnatic from his social media, SK.Rekkles and FNC.Forgiven? | ||

Simultaneously weakening the Korean scene while improving their own is liable to produce results, but it won't be a 'clean' victory. Regardless of how 'honorable' it is, however, such moves are liable to transfer the mecca of eSports from Korea to China unless KESPA stops it. | ||

But IF Incarnation gets free, I would totaly tune in, to see if he is the real deal. I prob would tune in anyways but come on Rito do it ! Numbers were behind because apparently, NA streams more than EU, it has almost nothing to be with skillz + matchdays in general. Thank God, now we can listen to whole year about "NA supremacy". :D On October 20 2014 04:10 Azarkon wrote: China's mentality looks to be - when you aren't able to beat'em, buy'em.

The problem with buying players is you lose out on the first few years of their prime, and most players have short primes, so its always risky. And expensive. | ||

It's not like Curse and coL games were particularly interesting, not saying about TSM/Dignitas. People just tend to follow random stereotypes and ignore everything else. + It's not like every EU game was hour+ with teams not doing anything at all. But seriously, you can just swap EU to weekends while NA will be forced to play mid-week and then check.

EU and NA games are both about equally fast, have equal amount of kills, have equal champion diversity etc. I think EU is even slightly ahead in all 3 categories. If one broadcasted NA games as EU games by changing player names, these would suddenly be called boring, There is no way you could tell a difference. It is simply caring or not caring about certain teams and players. And a healthy dose of confirmation bias. And Wonderful is right, streaming is extremely important. It is how TSM and CLG got popular in the first place. And it is so very understandable. Streaming from first person makes the viewer identify with the streamer. Similar to how we tend to identify with a first-person narrator in a book we read, even if he is not like us at all. Interesting example was when Impaler streamed for the first time last days. Suddenly he seems to become popular, while noone gave a fuck about him before. You could read things like "I never care about EU LCS, but I will surely folow you guys" "You are my favorite team now" etc. Pobelter also gained a lot of popularity now through streaming. Teams that dont force their players to stream their soloQ games are so incredibly stupid. As are those that stream on Azubu, no matter how much money they get for it. This should have already cost Curse a lot of popularity. | ||

Look at Alliance players, Tabzz/Shook streamed for like 500 viewers for whole split when they were top 1. Their streams weren't even bad, they answer question etc. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + No literal reason, Rekkles won't interact well with Froggen/Wickd + it's not [A] mentality at all. I'm going with Rekkles staying with Fnatic, there is literally no way he finds better team, especially if Jesiz stays in SK, that's somewhere on level of Rekkles going to CPHW. For funs. + Show Spoiler + Wanna see Rekkles going to G2, just because MONEYS AND WASTED TALENT, ARE WE DIGITAL SPORTS NOW. | ||

Before the latest news I was very sure he would stay. It is just that the social media clues are so damn obvious. | ||
