The guy that plays League of Legends for shits and giggles who roflstomped his way to the top. He's not even top 100 players overall, but they still picked him up. Please, don't make me laugh. Chu8 easily top 20 player, and his Maoki laning was pretty much unrivaled. It was Chu8 who even started the whole Maoki craze in the first place. Indeed, I'd love for you to name 100 players better than Chu8. I would love to see it. AAANNNNDDDDD that just cemented the fact you are an idiot. The "maokai craze" is JUNGLE maokai. Not lane maokai. 2 completely different things, to the point that you can pretty much say they are different characters. He gets no credit for that, The Odd One does. And I may not be giving him enough credit, but at this point if I am putting a league team together I'd have to go down a long list before I hit Chu. Probably 30+, 20 from the big 4 US teams then 10 from teamless/b tier teams. | ||

He's a part time League of Legends player for the most part and pretty much can go toe to toe with any top player in his respective lane. It's pretty impressive when you think about it. Chu8 has 13 elo on me right now (1953). He's played more than twice as many games as I in season 2, 650 (that's like 3 months btw). Please cut me a damn break. Doublelift got to 2286 in under 160 games (1/4 as many). Chu impressed people when he got #1, he's not impressing much of anyone right now. | ||

No offence to destiny but hes very popular and solid player but not as good as people treat him (re:fanboys) | ||

Probably 30+, 20 from the big 4 US teams then 10 from teamless/b tier teams. He said "Maoki craze". Not sure what Maoki is tho. While i don't think he is close to being the best player in LoL i have to admit that Chu has one achievement that i will always remember - prooving that "omg tier list, must follow" is a dumb ideology. But he isn't the first person to play champs that were considered up because they weren't high on elementz tier list/noone considered them high elo ban/pickworthy (TRM + teemo or Westrice akali, FNF playing GP only, LoCicero playing morg/ryze/panth/veigar/etc when everyone considered them shitty picks). Also i'm pretty sure that the time when Chu got to #1 was at the end of the season, when every pro stopped caring about Elo and started doing random stuff, like saint was jungling with ANYTHING: nasus, morg, taric, ADs etc. | ||

He's a part time League of Legends player for the most part and pretty much can go toe to toe with any top player in his respective lane. It's pretty impressive when you think about it. He also simply does not miss last hits. Ever. He hardly ever misses skill shots. I see the "top pros" regularly miss their skill shots on a consistent basis. Chu doesn't miss that often, and if he does it's usually because he's using it to control space. Cool, good to know that I'm one of the best players out there, I don't do dumb shit like getting caught like hotshot does either. I never miss my last hits either, and I never miss my skillshots. If I do miss my skillshots it's because I'm controlling space. Protip, if you don't make skillshots you can't get, you won't miss as many. It's fun you say he doesn't miss last hits and skill shots, I can say the same about anyone else and have as much proof for it as you do. Climbing the ladder and winning your lane is actually pretty easy when you play shit no one really played against(maokai). I've only ever seen him do well on maokai and his TF was one of the worst TFs I've ever seen back in season 1. | ||

Because they are krn/azn, and they have krn/azn powas. But their decision making skills are lacking. This is also the sign of krn/azns. Good mechanics, bad gamesense. But with time, and hundreds of thousands of mistakes later, they will catch up. And they will dominate. That is the path of the krn/azn. History repeats itself. I think Doublelift is mechanically pretty impressive. | ||

But Chaox has pretty good mechanics too. Cuz he's azn/krn. But his decision making skills are top notch. So I can't include him in my examples. | ||

Lmao. Chu8 regularly STOMPED tournament players in solo que all the time in his lane. Even if you're basing this off his HoN experience, this is wrong. WE.Misaya used to play on ToT's Chinese DotA team, alongside big names like Chuan and 430. 357 and Dai (on Nirvana.CN's DotA team) are also known to play LoL on their time off. And I'm pretty sure top class Chinese DotA pros drastically outclass Chu when it comes to fundamentals. | ||

Rewind 6 months and tell someone that Galio, Kog'Maw, Morgana, Veigar and Nunu are top competetive picks without having considerable buffs to any of them (save for Kog, Nunu buff is really cosmetic). | ||

Veigar buffs were pretty considerable imo, and that being said I don't think you can say he's a "top competitive pick" considering today was the first time i've seen him in a major tournament  edit: Wasn't Galio pretty banworthy 4 or 5 months back? | ||

What? Morgana, Galio, and Veigar got ENORMOUS buffs in the last 6 months. Did you forget about the patches in which Morgana/Galio got EVERYTHING about them buffed? I'm pretty sure that both champs were considered extremely strong the moment those buffs happened. | ||

I disagree, those attack speed buffs are actually pretty huge to his jangling. I mean, they more than doubled his attack speed scaling and couple that with base AS buff (which subsequently buffs the effects of all % modifiers, of which he has a really good one in blood boild) and we're talking about a very sizeable buff in his auto attacking damage. | ||

Morgana has been popular on and off after her shield nerds, Galio is soooooo unappealing to play because, well, who likes to play a tanky supportish champion that has to farm all game (and he got loads of buffs IIRC), Veigar buffs have actually made a huge difference because he is able to sort of retaliate attacks now unlike before due to less mana constraints, Kog has also been a very strong pick for a while, he just was built very differently (IIRC BFJJ and Chaox used to build him Manamune->MBR at IEM Cologne), Nunu as a support is actually a considerably strong pick now, yeah. That's about the biggest difference I feel. Also, especially Galio and Veigar fit into the current meta a lot better than they used to 6 months ago. | ||
