you can put in a fucking potato at jungle for TSM and they'll probably still win 18-22 games in a split.

Honestly anything other than Helios to TSM would be a surprise. And Zion is still a prime candidate for CLG top laner, isnt he?

Btw Nyph duo q'ed with Rekkles again today and they sounded very tryhard. They want to play tomorrow again. Still doubtful Rekkles to Alliance will happen, but it seems like they are at least contemplating things.
Alliance want to start scrimming beginning of november (preparation for IEM?), maybe we will learn more then.

Considering mithy's ask, there is a chance that Tabzz will retire, because latter is just pissed about long splits and stress because of it, so i'm not going to call anything at least before official scrims start.

But honestly, i don't wanna see Rekkles in [A], like at all.
He might be slightly better than Tabzz overall, but meh, [A] isn't Royal Club, it's not one guy show.

Also, exclusively for Kot, Zoro won't come back to game most likely at all, considering same resource as okay.

Huh, I'm the only one who thought Zoro was extremely good and should return? I was sure people talked about him every now and then.

Meanwhile Curse will reveal their new ADC in a week https://www.facebook.com/TeamCurse/photos/a.157222777696177.41252.155270574558064/913293615422419/?type=1

[image loading]


Doesn't look like Forg1ven.

Also, maybe it's just Monte and Thorin, but I remember some sentiment that Rekkles and Tabzz should actually swap places as Fnatic could use a playmaker while ALL could use a "consistent" ADC, not sure if I'd agree but dunno.

and for the record Looper didn't have a "tournament of his life", he was the best toplaner ever since spring.
Americans don't like to use unblockables, it is considered not honest. You press a button at the wrong time and hit the other person, you are random, not a top player. You DP Sim's far fierce, it is random and not honest.

I don't think Rekkles on [A] would be an issue. I don't think he cares how the team he's on plays as long as they win.

The sentiment was that Rekkles matches the ALL style more (passive), while Tabzz fits FNC more (playmaking). However, they also argued you don't necessarily want a team of all playmakers or a team of all passive players. This isn't like the exact summary, but it's somewhat close to the heart of what they said.

Rekkles fits the playstyle of both teams better, on the account that he is just better by a significant margin...

EU LCS needs some hype and excitement this split. Numbers were already way behind NA and after all teams going out in group stages, that probably wont change. 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



I'm pretty sure it has something to do with EU games being boring as fuck too.

There are literally no facts that supports this.
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.




Lol wat.

I didn't even like the na personalities or watch any streams when I first starting out actually watching lcs (and I still don't watch any stream). Loved the m5/fnatic/sk before going into lcs. Tried to get into eu lcs first cuz the timing was actually a lot better for me with my college schedule and I worked on Sat anyway.

I can say without much bias that the games are fucking boring as shit. Like, "fast pace" consists of the top 2-3 teams taking out the trash and the rest just bending over and take it. They don't fucking try anything. Games are staler than 3 year old skittles. It's like sex and the dude is going fast but he's doing 1 position all night long. Except for the occasional breath of freshness from teams like SHC and Lemondogs they all played like old people - like they have something to lose. But they don't because except for 3 teams or so they're all shitters.

Then I tune in to NA and watch kr and lpl vods when i finally had free time and I was like "holy shit they actually fight".


Can confirm, used to watch all LCS games until I realised OGN/LPL was on another level. Now I only watch C9 games.

Also I can't take you seriously when you say that teams that don't force players to stream are stupid. How do you explain the KR scene, where they were specifically disallowed from streaming, managing to gain fans for teams/players?

Where have you been the last month?

I said WERE disallowed.

didn't incarnation get banned (in part) for ddosing teams in a tournament he was playing in? reddit seems to think it was only for toxic solo q behavior, which ofc wouldn't deserve a lifetime ban

Given enough time for Reddit to forget somebody's egregious transgressions, they'll soon clamor for Riot to unban somebody because it's unfair that somebody good at the game can't play it.

lol, fucking called it.

Koreans found out that rich NA orgs are no match for Chinese billionaires who want esports playthings

Ironic how a year ago we were talking about how little money there was in Chinese esports and how Chinese players like Tabe were quitting/leaving because of it.

Not really. The people we were talking about in the past were players locked into low salaries by little to no bargaining power while the Korean imports are being sought after and, due to their clout, have bargaining power + have to contend with Kespa orgs.

Just because Chinese billionaires are willing to pay big $ for famous Korean players, does not equate to them being willing to pay big $ for not so famous domestic players. The logic is little different from vintage brand worship.

I'm well aware of the reasoning. That doesn't make it less ironic.

EG doing a teaser now also, doesn't specify what team even but the timing makes it possible to believe it's for the lol team.

with MakNooN rumored to return to pro play in NA return would make sense, being he is currently retired, not sure how EG would make it work reigon lock wise but I'm going to go with that as my guess

most people think they signed snowflake (the HEros team)

rumor is Helios is out the door anyway so it is possible

although looking into it a bit, most of the rumors about MakNooN make specific mention of the expansion tournament so I'm most likely wrong

Maknoon's a big deal but not big enough to justify that teaser, something like that can only either be idra or EG back in counter-strike.

yeah, i thought the same, lzgamer was on EG asell during earlier sc2 days so they might geht signed by EG.
also, they have no former player who would make sense to resign and return to the league team, imo

http://team-dignitas.net/articles/news/League-of-Legends/6087/Imaqtpie-will-not-re-sign-with-Team-Dignitas

Following the announcement that Scarra will no longer stay with Team Dignitas three weeks ago, Michael 'Imaqtpie' Santana informed us that he will also not sign with Team Dignitas again. During the last three weeks Imaqtpie was the last remaining member of the original Rock Solid lineup but he now wishes to pursue other opportunities.


RIP Rock Solid :<
