I must admit that his stream today is pure entertainment. Between PhantomLord screams of despair each time he welcomes death and Dyrus being Dyrus is priceless a Sunday afternoon after some horrible games.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.

I remember someone on Reddit talking about how he was a top tribunal examiner (score) but that it was easy to keep one's rank just by looking at the scores, ignoring the chat, and clicking pardon/punish on every case. It was faster and as long as you did your maximum cases a day you got to keep your rank.

But but but...What's the point of this XD?????Do you get something for being *high-ranked* in tribunal?If you are going to log in the tribunal why not actually try lol.

Also dyrus stream has been pretty awesome today I agree ^^.

You know your opinion isn't popular when your post (as the guy doing the AMA) has much less than the one below disagreeing with you

Well, Saintvicious was never known for his objectivity.

Hahahaha. yeah. imo doublelifts mechanical skill wins botlanes right now, it use to be before chauster carried botlane with his support, but DL's actually learned to play botlane for himself, so he can end up doing really well with non-chauster tier support.

But, really though. Cop has been a complete beast in the past month. It's surprising too, cuz Curse doesn't really play any "this person gunna get #1 farm priority and completely carry out team", Voyboy, nyjacky, and cop usually split farm pretty evenly, and each one able to carry the game together. As opposed to CLG's "protect doublelift" comps, or clg.eu's (or EG now, i guess?) froggen carry our team.

No bot lane with Elementz can be better than Aphrolift...and that's coming from a Curse fan.

Edit: Cop has been playing really well though.

elementz not that bad... people give him shit for his elo, but TOO is in same elo bracket right now, and diamondprox has always been low elo too, but no one give them shit for it.

he has some derp moments, but clearly it works well with Cop.

Is this really what people think? He was low Elo when he joined Empire, but then he got to a pretty decent Elo really quickly, and I think he ended s2 in top15?

Also, Elo really doesn't matter. I believe we should mainly judge players by their performances in places where it matters (tournaments). You don't judge a starcraft player who has bad ladder results but consistently plays highly in tournaments and vice versa.
Elementz has played fairly lackluster in tournaments, and many people think that he's the weakest link of Curse (which I agree with)
I will not say that Elo is completely meaningless. I think Oddone, despite the fact that his playstyle works much better in a coordinated environment, should really be able to carry himself to at least Diamond consistently. He's been stuck in 1900s for months I believe, which is definitely not a good sign.

Elementz gets a bad rap. He never plays support in solo-queue and that probably hurts his elo a lot but you watch the small tricks he does when he is playing support, he is very very good at it. Way better than Krepo and possibly even Xpecial.

and I think you are giving him too much credit tbh.
Sure Elo isn't everything but as a proplayer on a top 4 Na team to not be able to break 1900s his entire career is kinda embarassing. And him being a better supp than Krepo and Xpecial wtf.

admittedly, it doesn't take a lot to be a better support than krepo, imo.

I think Krepo is much better than Xpecial and Elementz. I think he's worse than say Gosu and much worse than Madlife/Lustboy/Wzzf/insert Asian support but I'm not sure why he has such a bad reputation here.
