I haven't been sleeping super great though, maybe that's it... but seriously, Yorick is terrible design and completely stomps a ton of characters in the most boring and skill-less way possible, but..... he's still going to lose top lane to, at the very least, Udyr, Shen and Irelia and they're some of the most popular tourney picks for that lane. Mind elaborating exactly how him losing to those champs works? Every once in a while I have to lane against a Yorick and I can feel that patented Smash rage coming on. (Granted, my lane last night was blind pick Kennen v Yorick, I'm shit bad at Kennen, and all our lanes were losing so i got no jungle pressure.) | ||

Also, the interviewed guy is a bit shady about that, but he hints that the guy from Riot who approached them is very high on the Riot command chain. The exact wording would be "we were approached by an organizer, to be precise, the owner of Riot.." but I seriously doubt it was Guinsoo himself. Most likely the guys from M5 were abit confused. | ||

Back in the day CLG (before there were NA and EU branches) was head and shoulders above everyone else, including EU teams. Lo and behold that is no longer the case, and no one had to ban them to do it. What's the motivation to improve as a team if you get banned for being the best, or if your competition gets banned? I can't honestly believe this is true, it'd be the stupidest move ever in the history of eSports. | ||

Appreciate it. I have to work on all my matchups big-time except maybe mid. I think I've gotten worse at the game over the past few months and I'm not entirely sure where I'm going wrong. Gotta start jungling again mebbe. Sucks that Trundle is considered a weaker jungler these days.... | ||

This is one place where they really need to learn from SC2: invite the 'koreans'(m5) to your tournaments, promote it, make it a huge event when another team manages to beat them. Imagine the crowd reaction if CLG or Dignitas can take a bo3 from m5 at IPL? Edit: I still think(optimistically and hopefully) that this is some kind of joke m5 said that is being taken massively out of context. | ||

Edit: Regarding M5..that's a joke, right? I would think you'd want the best team in the scene at your tournament in order to promote it.. | ||

Somebody's been suggesting that M5 asked for a wild card to get drafted into MLG, which was refused since it is NA-only, and that the "ban" is the way M5 interpreted it. Or that they're only joking about how they failed to qualify and so won't participate. Requires clarifications, if all. So wait, how come Korean SC2 players got wild card entries into MLG but the equivalently dominant LoL team didn't? Silly imo. | ||

I believe that was due to a contract MLG did with GOMTV in order to allow Korean players to come to U.S. events, and in exchange foreign players had a chance to win a Code S or Code A placing. | ||
