i'm kind of sick of people complaining about NA teams being substandard and suggesting what they should do to get better

when i see teams doing poorly, it inspires me to make my own team and compete instead of complaining on the internet about why another team sucks and armchairing it up.

Skill shots, and abilities in general, are ridiculously easy to predict when your opponent always casts them from maximum range. Malzahar's Q is simply the best example of this since it's so easy to just take one step back to dodge. Try to mix it up a bit if it isn't going to kill you.

Hotshot is like....zergbong.
Everyone knows his name but only because he sucks so much and yet is still a "pro" player. I guess hotshot did revolutionize the benching meme. That's kind of boxer-like....revolutionizing things and all.

Not that I'm a big fan of the usual NA bashing, but I can't say I don't understand it. It's really disappointing to have the team(s) that you've been rooting for and that represent your region lose because the other teams are just straight-up trying harder.

You don't have to be a professional player to realize that a professional player is worse than another

People do take armchair coaching too far a lot of the time but for 99.9% of people that wish NA had a more competitive scene, getting good enough to form their own team is nowhere near a viable option. When someone says "oh man star wars episode 2 absolutely sucked" you don't respond with "why don't you make your own movie then"

pretty sure most of us are complaining precisely because we are frustrated that our ''idols'' aren't taking this game as seriously and are soon going to be overrun by faceless, hard working koreans who we honestly don't give a crap about.

Do you mean 500 jedi who can cut through droids like butter, when in episode 1 we were shown just how useless the droids are against jedi? Or do you mean the completely expendable droids vs the completely expendable clone troopers, both of which are shown to be mass produced so we feel nothing for their loss?

I'm saying that people are deluding themselves into thinking that, for example, Lustboy is godlike just because he practices SO much harder than all the other supports.

....? that IS why he's so good. because he works so hard at it? he didn't just decide to play LoL one day and win a tournament. all genetics does for LoL it set you at a different starting level. your individual skill cap isn't the limiting factor in LoL.


I'd argue that genetics affects the *rate* as which you improve with practice. The best practice really really hard, and improves just a bit more than the really good people who practice really really hard.

But the overall level of LoL play isn't so high that is a limiting factor yet.

BW only really hit that point after like 7-8 years (at the point where you could say TBLS were dominating on the basis of their talent AND their practice). LoL isn't anywhere close to that yet.


The day we have anything comparable to TBLS is the day I'll have t find an easier game to feel good about

Thanks a lot for that translation!

On a sidenote, could anyone tell me what TBLS means?

TBLS = Taekbangleessang

Taek = Bisu
Bang = Stork
Leessang = Jaedong/Flash

On topic: Thanks for the translation. Pretty cool interview. Looking forward to more hive tech ZvZs.

We have Froggen.

And hotshot is a mini boxer?

Absolutely laughable that you'd compare Froggen to TBLS.

On form, TBLS basically don't lose series games to anyone except each other. Froggen's nowhere near that good at AP given the significant number of world class APs at the moment that can all win or lose against each other. The only players you could even make an argument for having that level of mastery over their role are Weixiao on AD or Maknoon/Lilac on top lane.

Lilac is better, but Maknoon deserves a certain amount of credit for how he plays top lane in a way that directs the tempo of the game in a way unlike most other top laners.

Doublelift has flashy plays, but Weixiao's fundamentals are simply unmatched.

Go back and look at the way Weixiao lasthits and harasses in lane. He's never waiting for a lasthit. He's making use of every autoattack CD but he's still getting every lasthit, while getting off every autoattack virtually on CD (often on enemy champs). He doesn't wait for lasthits--he makes it seem like the lasthits are just coming to him.

So you're saying when they make a LoL2 Hotshot will jump ship immediately and dominate that scene for awhile before falling off.

Probably, yeah. Hotshot has good enough mechanics to be able to be good in a new game similar to LoL. Afterall, hotshot really was top of the totem pole early on in LoL. It's when people begin to really learn the game and practice more that hotshot's natural talent fell off, and now he's mediocre at best for a pro player.

I get what you are trying to say because of the whole SC and SC2 but he was just plainly saying Hotshot was really good at the start of the game = got lots of fans now sucks

It is utterly scary watching him in lane. It's hard to imagine someone being THAT much better than every other player in the role, when he's using "weak" laning champs and crushing lanes with them.
