Well, he has to blow pillar, and probably contaminate, to be able to force his opponent to trades, which ends up costly in mana (and pillar a big cd unless you max it early), while he has no ranged harass, poke, nor ability to answer to those. Aren't, say, champs like Udyr, Olaf, Jayce and Nidalee tailored toward crushing him?

Yeah not sure why he has so many viewers today, I guess all the big name guys are on their way to Dallas. I'm not going to lie though, I really like his stream, Scarra levels of explanation.

everyone relevant @MLG Dallas
that's basically how i made his huge following/fanbase, he streamed after tournament hours when noone else was streaming and suddenly had 5-6k viewers and has maintained a high viewer count ever since

Does Trundle get healed if a ghost expires due to the timer?
|
Yes. In fact the ghoul doesn't expire, since it loses health each second it just runs out of HP... which means it dies, triggering Trundle's passive.

Yea but the heal is miniscule. Trundle is actually a pretty poor pick vs Yorick unless the Yorick is terribad.

He actually explains what he's doing, which is nice, and his voice is less forceful and dramatic than scarra.
And he has good music taste, unlike many other popular streamers.

how does he have good music taste

Oh yeah trust me I know, I watch him all the time. I'm just surprised that he's like 15k above his usual numbers is all

Discussion:E-sports is not profitable unless you're a BIG name team, and even then big name teams might not be profitable. Why would you invest in E-sports or any 2nd tier team when you're pretty much guaranteed to incur loses. The only reasons I see as to why someone would throw money into E-sports is for charity and love of the game. Gotta love the game a lot to throw that much money into a game.

Interesting. I read there were rumors about Navi picking them up as their LoL team. The plot thickens.

Navi picking up a US team seems a bit strange.

Yeah, they signed up for ESEA as Na'Vi.

I don't think it's so easy to evaluate the profitability of things like a sponsor's brand visibility on a sponsored team. You can conjecture that its not profitable to sponsor a second-tier team, but so long as they're attending events, they're accomplishing *something*.

you have to weigh profitability vs living sustainability then
its totally possible for players of non-big name teams to make a living off of streaming on twitch or own3d if you have enough viewers
plenty of companies and organizations are sponsoring teams still anyways
