So Maelk is the official owner of Alliance? The creation of that team is one of the funniest things to happen in esports.

And Alex was the still the official owner of the brand for the other divisions? So Alex owned GG, which "sold sponsorship" to Alliance, a company also owned by him, and that company "lent" it's name to the team owned by Maelk, an employee of Alex?

I knew they were doing some weird shit to dodge the LCS rules, but I didnt think it was this funny. They were basically making fun of the rules.

that's what they were doing until recently when riot finally cracked down. now alliance & EG actually are seperate teams (twitch acquisition nonwithstanding. TBH i don't even know how riot is going to react to that)

Alliance LoL is also no longer riot-approved and will need to change their name
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

I wouldn't approve a team with lol in it's name either. Such flippantry does not match the image they've carefully crafted for years for their brand. Lots of Love, are you kidding me...

I think they're annoying actually. You don't need it cause the poster's name is already being displayed.

I think it's pretentious and annoying.
Makes no sense on a forum where your name is always automatically tied to what you post..
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

yes, pretentious if they are a reasonably young poster, just old-fashioned if they are rather more mature. (who are you thinking of?)

I just want to thank Jinxed for living up to his new signature. He posted this gem yesterday about how all games are winnable from any role: And how only every once and a while do you get games with players so bad there is no hope of winning.

http://www.liquiddota.com/forum/the-tavern/470099-ranked-pub-meta-discussion?page=24#461

My next three games contain a "carry omi knight" who dies 17 times using a MoM, a mid void that only had a morbid mask by the end of a 40 minute game and a guy who was drunk and "just trying to stay awake to avoid hang over."

Well done Jinxed. Well done.

The secret tactic is if you flame less and get more commends you get better teammates.

Shhh though, don't tell anyone.
