First death I was towerdove on lvl 4, getting first blood + a double kill. Second death was by Karthus when I only had just bought soulstealer and had no stacks anyway.

After got the snowball items I never died though.

Couldn't get full stacks in time unfortunately, and I had like 2k gold but couldn't go back to buy since they surrendered so early.

Was going to get triforce + GA.

That kat was good ;o

And I am about to advertise bravery on the US boards as well.

Brave Twitch was TRULY brave. I always unstealthed in the MIDDLE of the enemy team. I even survived occasionally.

I salute you, brave men of Teamliquid!

Don't be decieved by the looks of it. Something tells me that there was a certain lack of tryharding involved.

Kind of related: Today we attempted a Chalice Christmas game. Urgot, Lux, Soraka, Jungle Kassadin, Tryndamere. I think we overdid it a bit though, AD Soraka, AD Kassadin, Chalice Tryndamere...

Have a brave Christmas, everyone!

What does tryharding have to do with bravery, so long as they aren't not tryharding in a cowardly way?

The goal isn't to win. It's to be BRAVE.

A brave loser is better than a cowardly winner.

All 10 players are only focused on buying triple stacks, triforce, tiamat. Do you expect anyone to seriously push?

It's not brave if it's easy to get those items.

What does buying items have to do with preventing anyone from clicking on a turret.

Again, from my point of view, it's the bravest screenshot in that thread. There's no proof in any of those other screenshots that the summoners embraced a truly brave mentality as well as the brave build. Being cajoled or forced by your team into pushing is not really braver than just not pushing anyways, and anybody can post a winning 20/X/X screenshot when they have made many non-brave plays. Moreover, your conjecture that 10 brave men are less brave because they all want to finish their builds is just a conjecture. I posit that true bravery can only happen *more* with more brave players, since there are more people around to be brave. What, was the Justice League less brave because it had Batman *and* Superman?

Basically though, I don't know why anyone would ever bother to give anyone a hard time about whether or not they were "brave" unless they were playing a game with said "brave" person and found some reason to complain. Suspiciously critiquing the bravery of others in that way seems completely out of place given what we mean by bravery and what we do in it's name.

It just seems to me that 10 brave people is very brave indeed and I wish that I could have see that brave battle.

[edit]"Easy to get those items"?, what do you mean by easy? What if the entire other team sucked so hard it was easy for you to get 20/20/20? Is that brave more brave than the brave who wins 14/7/2 against a better team? How does one factor all the possible brave variables into one brave equation by which we can measure all bravery?

In my opinion, and I know it's not an opinion that holds a lot of weight, items, stacks, and KDA are all imperfect yardsticks of bravery. I merely picked the screenshot with 10 braves because having 10 braves in one game is awesome. Pretty much no other reason.

I fail to see the bravery. But I do see bad item builds. (hextech on xin...? frozen mallet on kennen...? etc)

You're not being brave when everybody in the game is trying to do the exact same thing. You're just another average joe with everybody being silly.

So.

Because 10 brave warriors meet on the field of battle, nothing that any of them can do is brave or epic.

I'm sure that makes sense somewhere, but it sure doesn't in my head.
