You can't say "I pronounce it xyz", where "xyz" is something that is supposed to be pronounced using english pronounciation rules, and then expect people to know what you mean. These rules don't exist (or at least they have way too many exceptions to be applicable). Most people can't read a phonetic alphabet, while most people on these forums can pronounce English decently. | ||

Guess at least he'll have some knowledge of the basics when he reads my paper. What was the topic?

I actually wrote a sociology paper about World of Warcraft. I got full marks, and my professor took me out to lunch to discuss it with me because it was so interesting. Incidentally, both his sister and his daughter had recently been complaining how their boyfriends spent too much time playing WoW, so my paper had been something of a window into this strange world that was causing interpersonal strife in his family's relationships. | ||

Well Riot came up with the name, perhaps that's how they intended it to be pronounced. And how would you pronounce "bestial" "correctly"?

This is actually the only correct pronunciation of the word. The word is derived from the Latin word "bestia" (pronounced as it looks), not from the word beast. | ||

But I didn't bring it up to start an old rumor, best to just drop it now. I know shit like this is supposed to be a big joke, but I hate seeing interviews like this, and it seems like they are getting more and more common. There's absolutely no reason for SC2 and LoL to hate on each other, and even a joke like this encourages fans of the two games to hate on each other. Seems super unprofessional to me on the part of all three of them. | ||

While I would have also been shocked about how much flesh between the neck, elbow and ankle the female is showing, I am more outraged that she is even part of the discussion at all. On the whole, thoroughly unprofessional, and I shall be sending a letter with the next stagecoach registering my disgust. | ||

I'm thinking Cleaver into PD might be strong since Brut will make your laning phase that much stronger and then once you get your black cleaver you'll be pretty boss mode. Then slowly add in the PD (I suppose you could go Shiv since they are both fairly identical) I know there are some gimmicks like Vayne rushing SoTD, but honestly it still feels like IE/PD or BT/PD are kings. Am I wrong? | ||

Phreak still pronounces Xin Zhao better than 90% of the casters, so I'mma give him some leeway anyhow. | ||
