EPTEG is not a training house, it doesn't help people grow, it help people already grown up to get known and have the structure behind them to fly out wherever they want until they are washed up.
TL is a good structure where player can grow.

TL is a good structure where player can grow. That's not true at all.Unless you are willing to move to Korea where TL has a "team house"(which wasn't a team house even,I'm talking about before the TL-EG partnership) I don't see a single reason why TL would be a good place to grow new talent. Oh and TL signed Hero and Taeja,who are just as good as any player EG has ever signed,if not better.So I never understood why people have this notion that EG buys their way into the top competitive spots when TL has done the same thing. | ||

TL is a good structure where player can grow. Only TLO ever actually improved and grew, and even then, he wasn't even in their teamhouse when the majority of that happened. So dunno if you can attribute that to TL, I'd more attribute it to himself. Other than that, nobody ever got significantly better while on TL. Tru fax You are just blinded by fanboyism. You want to hate on EG, which is totally okay, cause they deserve it, but to say TL is better in that regard is ignorant. Don't get me wrong, I love TL as much as the next guy, but at least be real about it. | ||

I think they hate league of legends so much because those teams all turned them down. They did. the deals were crap. no one took them, EG stuck to stuff they knew. | ||

Reminds me of LoD saying yesterday on stream that a difference between western and asian progamers is that while the latter are expected to pour all of their time into becoming better (or the best) at the game and improving and training, the former are also expected to be interact with the fanbase, putting up news on sites, tweeting, updating facebook status and stuff, and that's impossible for them to only be playing because their is that "social media" expectations to fulfill and that they have to devote their own time to. I don't known which question sparked it tho, was on his stream chat. | ||

LoL did so they hate it. I wonder how big a game has to be to "go big" if SC2 isn't included. Bazillion streamers, tournaments constantly and a huge community. Is LoL bigger? Sure, because it's THE biggest game. Doesn't mean SC2 didn't make it huge in comparison to other games. | ||

It's just dumb. And as far as the Incontrol quote goes, I think less of him for it. But my opinion of him has been pretty low since that State of the Game video or whichever talk show it was. Which is sad because a year ago I thought he was a pretty cool guy. Also, to be fair. Incontrol has 45,000 twitter followers https://twitter.com/EGiNcontroL Theoddone has 49,000 https://twitter.com/TSMTheOddOne Not that this is indicative of anything, other than maybe Incontrol shouldn't go around making those sorts of statements. I don't understand what anybody gains by making them. | ||

No idea if he's been duoing with someone that carried him though but looking up his stats on lolking, they aren't too impressive, except for the solid Draven. | ||

I'd say Jinro got significantly better, though he slumped pretty hard after that and never really got back into it. | ||

One could also say that it's the fact that the Korean scene is run by organizations in comparison to the western scene that has a lot of known players not on a sponsored team. Regarding Pantheon vs Darius, Q and E have 600 range and a windup animation or channel, Darius' pull has 550 range, so if he has more MS than you and is keeping himself aware he should be able to pull you in whenever he wants during your harass. His Q also deals more damage with the blade than Panth's Q (need a bit more than 100 bonus AD at level 1 Qs to make up for it) so your saving grace is your shorter cd and greater range, making harass easier especially at earlier levels (before he gets his E). If you lose a trade it's hard to escape Darius because of his passive (DoT adds ~100 damage post-mitigation easily at level 5, and more importantly the MS buff) and low-medium cooldowns on Q and W (since he gets stacks to shorten W). A good Darius will auto you then W to make sure you don't block it with your passive either. So Pantheon wins in harass but loses trades really, really hard, and thus gets zoned more easily. I'd say it depends on your ability to whittle Darius down that he can't all-in you without dying first (needs to be significantly lower than you), and to make up for the damage you underwent before his pull is available again. | ||
