Is it me or do these interviews come off as really patronizing

Nah just you. I really like some of the interviews and they're willing to answer hard questions.

It shows quite a color and that the players have so much at stake. Look at the other interviews it was pretty cool.

The story of the last 2 TIs is the same. 2 teams way above the rest of the pack, and that's saying something if the pack itself is extremely high level.


Was the pack that good this year?

I'd say so. Liquid Vici and Secret all have looked very very good at times.

How can it be good when game is just getting more random over years?

You can treat it as one. In my book, the more variables there are in game, the more random outcome gets.

Yes. He found that not having to grind was a lot better. He could also never find any good carries, so it was stuck in the bottom rungs.

I don't understand Tinker ban. That said, it smells of LGD's DK+Jakiro strat once again, and i am not sure how well racecar deals with chain stuns.

what do you even mean by more variables? is this just a dusty "bounty runes and talents are bad for the game" take?
