This is going to seem like an odd question (and I may have asked it before), but is anyone here real good with Reddit?
I want to try to promote our casting of the EA v Curse game tonight (and there was a -barely-front-page post regarding all AHGL matches yesterday) but since ours never happened and LCS Quals were still going on I doubt there was much exposure.

I'm personally not a huge fan of posting on Reddit (not to mention every time I try it gets removed or something) but it appears to be the best way to get your name out there; I'm sure Shake can testify to that.

Possible thoughts/assistance would be appreciated.

What's the link. Happy to tweet something for you.

Whoa? when did you get hammer? Gratz on getting hammer too.

Does your alter ego have it as well?


Chiharu passed away earlier this morning. Moon and I had a private funeral for her.

Jesus, Neo, I read "passed away" and nearly had a heart attack.
Not cool bro.

Grats MB on banling status!!

As for Reddit, I'll try to get a post up later tonight (I'm still hesitant to put it up myself because I'm so sure some mod will remove it for reasons I don't understand) and we can get the TL brigade into upvoteviewing mode I suppose.


lol wat. I didn't mean to scare. But I figure all our veterans know about Moon/Chiharu connections.

Moon has been upgraded to Banling, so no more dual accounting for him.


Dual? I was certain that half the accounts in this sub-forum were his, and most discussions were just an elaborate ruse.

Oh no, Monte's on to me! Quick, better find a way to casually ban him without drawing suspicion...

Congrats MoonBear

p.s: Custom icons are given to blue named staff(guys who contribute a lot over many years), and red-named staff(senior staff that can also moderate like a banling). Administrators can choose to keep their custom icon or go with the special administrator thing. Most of the admins have adapted to the special admin blue bar, either with the TLNET symbol, or in the case of some, the blue bar and their custom icon. Wax still has a custom/red name and no blue bar though.

As usual, Yango is right =P

I know not everyone follow the Asian scene super intimately, but a recent trend in OGN/other Korean tournaments (besides Sunfire/Warmogs on everyone) is exactly what Yango is describing - a shift in how we think about what a "carry" is. People are more willingly to buy purely defensive stats on carries beyond the occasional GA and QSS. It's apparently when you see stuff like Khazix mid buildilng a Warmogs, but there's no reason why the same principles can't be applied to a more traditional carry.

If you want a S2 example, Orianna had an amazing showing by TPA, and the go-to build was Grail-Hat-GA. Or the Grail-Veil Anivia build. There is no reason why, when the situation calls for it, a defensive item is blasphemy on a carry. If you build full damage and can't tank anything and are always running away, you might as well have not built any damage items since your DPS output isn't improved.

I mean in general people have too much an aversion toward buying primary defensive items on APs and ADs. On ADs its more justified (and even then, we're seeing more primary defensive items like Warmogs on ADs), but not so much on APs. Especially when as an AP you're often buying like 2-3 half-defensive/half-offensive items (Zhonya, Abyssal, Liandry's, etc.), when 1-2 primary defensive items + 1-2 primary offensive items has the potential to have higher overall cost-effectiveness (particularly when those defensive items are Locket or Warmogs).


The thing about analyzing AP items on a cost effectiveness scale is that they AP items tend to give utility because straight AP+ stat is "boring", and stuff like zhonya's(worth more than any other defensive item in a lot of cases where other team is diving you) or seraph's in a tear+roa build(400+HP shield) gives them freedom to build a lot more damage simply because the itemization makes you tanky "enough" while letting you deal vastly more damage than if you spend item slots on a purely defensive item.

That argument no holds weight in the face of absurdly cost-efficient defensive utility items like Locket, Bulwark, and Mikael's. Against more selfish defensive items like Mog's or Sunfire, sure.

It's not "vastly" more damage because having a full-defensive item allows you to dedicate a slot to a full-offensive item like DCap or DFG that you would otherwise not be able to use practically. 1 full offensive vs. 1 full defensive item vs. 2 half-offense/half-defense items--it's not a given that the 2 half-offensive/defensive items are better.

Ooops, we will see how that go. I still don't think Link is better than Jiji, but Jiji may need so break so he can comeback stronger. Roster rotate may not be a bad thing.

Kinda sucks. jiji still my favorite player. Hopefully he'll stream more now and as a coach I think he'll do a pretty great job considering his personality and general chill behavior.

So long as Aphromoo learns support CLG with LiNk should be capable of at least challenging high tier EU teams.

Is Shaco's teamfighting really that bad?

I know people like to idle by and clean up cause otherwise he just blows up, but I hang around my ADC to drop boxes under him and permaslow anyone that dives him. If they turn on me, my ADC gets free dps time and I'm slippery as hell anyways.

Feels way more useful than trying to assassinate things or waiting to snipe anyone who gets low.

Nagas means niggers.
You're welcome.

Lol there is a traduction on reddit:
[–]manisier 14 points 7 minutes de ça*
Yep.
Hello people, figured I'd post this here and educate everyone and fans of CLG and myself, so its nice and clear and there's no confusion or weird theories that some niggas may randomly dream of. This shit is pretty long, I think. I wouldn't read all of it if I saw a wall of text this big myself.
The news: I am now a sub for CLG!
For a long itme coming I have always felt the discomfort when playing team games, especially tournament games (even in the games in which I do really well and carry I still don't feel the 'right flow').
There are definitely a lot of shit talkers out there trying to piss pro players off all the time, but they are usually not the people that can get to someone like me (just makes me annoyed, that's all, most of the time). Most of these unwanted feelings I feel really stems from long terms of decreasing faith in me from my teammates, which has been snowballing increasingly.
And not for just the past month or two, but for a while now. This 'snowballing decreasing faith' shit, as I call it, is a common enemy of HotshotGG as well! This was often the main reason that there was a lot of arguing and raging both recently and in the past. But, I actually feel it's not too bad to actually get it out of your system - like Hotshot cries about it for hours at times and often brings it back up at different times again too. For I have just tried to focus on my own game for a long time ignoring what they say, but when I go in scrims I still end up focusing pretty hard on what people think rather then playing the game and making my own plays and coordinating with my team.
It's not really their fault, though, it's just how the jiji brain functions, probably. They're human and it's just how humans respond to things, and it just kind of snowballed ever since a long time ago I guess! For the longest time I have felt it is pretty damn hard to improve. Ever since I played DotA back in the day my confidence level has been fucking God almighty high, twice as high as Doublelift's, easily. This has been true for a long time, stretching all the way back to season 1. Confidence, faith and trust really is something for a player like myself, too bad I lost most of it and started playing halfassedly, stuck with the same problems for a long time.
This shit is getting really long. Bottom line, even if they didn't decide to give the starter position to L1nk, I feel like I would have wanted to let him have it for the above reasons and general discomfort (I don't think he's much better than me, though, I am still very confident).
So, fans of jiji, I will be more relaxed from now, streaming, training myself, and in entertainment mode, expect more streams and more kitties and more talking to you niggas.
P.S. I have also been asked to be the coach for CLG and move in (yes, if I had been a starter for season 3 I would have moved in). I think I can really help them get into shape and stop their slacking so hard. However I at the moment I feel like it's too hard and annoying to command these silly, wild, crazy niggas to do their tasks properly. Maybe at a later date.
P.P.S Donations are welcome from now on! I will not have any real salary as a sub and I will rely on streaming (on own3d, deal with it) for awhile to feed my kitties while I relax and turn on entertainment/training mode! I have no idea how to post a button on Facebook and own3d, it's too hard. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7L73AHVXD8D86 How does HTML work?
I will never forget the 5th of October, 2011 during the IEM Guangzhou grand final. I died to a Gangplank gank against Misaya on Annie, then got ganked few more times then Annie snowballed into oblivion.
tl;dr: I'm off to own solo queue noobs and maybe make a ranked 5s team for with solo queuers and scrim LCS teams for fun.

As a CLG fan I've thrilled with this decision. Jiji hasn't been playing well for too long now, it was the right move.

z.z. almost everyone is just saying "jiji is a better player than link"
as if that's really relevant -_-

if you read what he wrote at all, he's stepping down because of how he feels MENTALLY, Because he's feeling a lot of lack of faith from his team and has lost confidence, NOT because l1nk is a better player, not because jiji is bad, etc.

would you rather have jiji who has no confidence + doesnt have team support, or would you rather see l1nk who's a lot more confident and receives more teamwork?

I just think it's really really insulting to l1nk to just say "jiji is better" or something similar
yes, many of us are sad to see jiji go, but l1nk is not a bad player, and i think he deserves a little more respect than what he's getting right now

First point is valid, although aside from mikael's they aren't good items to be getting on somebody who needs to be carrying the early-midgame tempo.

I think that depends on the items in question. RoA Seraph's builds are probably the biggest outlier in that they are incredibly cost-effective when fully charged, and the health+shield is approximately equal to a warmogs. However if you are playing a champion who benefits hugely from alternative builds then a faster defensive item isn't bad.

I am against the idea of mid's getting locket/bulwark not because they're bad items, but because those items are best when rushed, and you give away a lot of your ability to control the early-midgame through damage,
