EG 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.

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. | ||

Their streams are more casual, their sponsorship representation/love is taken less seriously/not cared for, their players have fewer twitter followers because they don't really care to work on advertising themselves or their media and in general the gaming industry finds them harder to deal with for these reasons but also quite frankly because they are less mature. incontrol is right, it's league of casual right now (not that I mind) For majority of NA scene, yeah. But, asian side of it is pretty serious. Thats because people with experience got behind the LoL scene there (OGN, etc). Honestly I'm sick of hearing this shit. It's true, but its also completely unsurprising. Organizations like, idunno, team EG, turned up their noses at the LoL scene in North America, so the NA teams had to make their own way. TSM and CLG are what - 2 years old? SC2 players have organizations with years of experience behind them (team EG is ~13 years old). And also have a history of competitive gaming that goes back 15 years. In the NA LoL scene, LoL is almost every players first participation in a competitive game. That kinda attitude (from incontrol) pisses me off because if people with experience in esports had gotten behind LoL, say, a year or two ago, they could have done a LOT of good for the scene. Can you imagine if TSM or CLG had been picked up by EG back in 2011 where they would be competitively, what they could have accomplished with a serious and experienced organization behind them? But instead most people with experience completely turned their noses at LoL and so the scene had to develop itself. So IMO people like incontrol criticizing the LoL scene for lack of professionalism or maturity is beyond hypocrisy. /rant I don't care what anyone else claims or says. EG has most definitely approached TSM/CLG/maybe even Epik Gamer. 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. | ||

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. | ||

I don't known which question sparked it tho, was on his stream chat. yes the 20minutes in a day they spend tweeting/facebook is why they lose and not there horrible soloQ practice Not saying it has to do with performances, just that it reminded me of it, in terms of expectations. 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. | ||
