No, banlings are straight up "moderators." Neo is an admin, which gives him dominion over TL LoL, but Moonbear, and (likely) Yango will be moderating the whole of TL. So there won't be much to do for TL LoL, but certainly plenty to annihilate from SC2 LR threads and DotA2 GD. | ||

I'm slightly confused because your explanation looks like yango and moonbear are higher on the TL ladder than neo or I am just misunderstanding sth^^ | ||

What mids are you guys considering or what mid laners would you consider ideal for your team? edit: fuck nvm I'm the worst at reading and read "there" as "here" | ||

I'm slightly confused because your explanation looks like yango and moonbear are higher on the TL ladder than neo or I am just misunderstanding sth^^ That's a good question and hopefully Neo will answer it. =P From what he's (and MB's) explained that I've heard is that Neo runs everything TL LoL related, and, as such, isn't required to have to do ban work throughout TL. That is part of the job description for standard banlings. Basically, the ability to ban 'cross TL is a pain not a privilege. I'm sure Neo CAN do it, but he doesn't have to. =D Edit: glgl gtrsrs. That's rough buddy. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=135850 essentially created to help deal with the influx SC2 brought to the site they are essentially the grunts dealing with all the trench work of moderating places not as ideal as the LoL subsection. | ||

Uzi was literally the scariest thing I've ever seen, and I feel odd whenever people mention Weixiao as untouchable AD carry amongst his peers. It's true that Weixiao is a cut above most of the famous AD carries, but I genuinely felt all hope drain from me when I watched Uzi just stomp both PraY and Imp to the ground. I mean these guys went toe-to-toe with the likes of Bebe, or even came out on top, and are generally regarded as the best AD carries Korea has to offer. Funny thing is, even if China takes that extra-spot for S3 World Championship, I don't think the rest of the world will get to see Uzi play unless he moves to a more competitive team. If Uzi doesn't get voted in for this All Stars tournament, many people will only talk about Weixiao whenever the topic of the best AD carry comes up. I like the following line-up for Korea, knowing full well it'll never materialize since they don't have the backing of the masses, Top: Expession Jungle: inSec Middle: Faker AD Carry: Piglet Support: PoohManDu I just want Expession to showcase his skills to the world because his team will never surmount to anything in the near future. I'm not sure if inSec is the best jungler in the world, but he sure is the most entertaining out of the players I've seen. Ambition is probably the smarter choice for the mid-lane, but I feel Faker should be given a chance. Easyhoon would be a fun pick as well in the mid-lane. Imp once mentioned that Piglet and PoohManDu are the strongest bottom-lane duo in Korea right now, so it'll be fun to watch them try their luck against Weixiao (I'm predicting Uzi won't get to represent his region). Weixiao slaughtered them during his ventures in the Korean solo-que, so here's there chance to take revenge. However, I'm guessing the following line-up will represent the Korean scene, Top: Shy Jungle: inSec Middle: Ambition AD Carry: PraY Support: Madlife Boring. Can I has that VOD of Uzi vs pray/imp? Top is going to be maknoon no? | ||

Maybe it's a lot better now. | ||

I think those three EU team are actually good enough to play on par with most Asian teams, especially since the beginning of LCS EU because it's gives them constant training. Yeah I was speaking of recent performances so that's why I've excluded EG since they are kind of slumping. Also yeah Fnatic probably deserves to be up there. Their run at IPL5 was damn impressive. Also Yellowstar has been doing much better than the first couple weeks of the LCS, although Rekkles was still pretty damn good. | ||

Dark Blue/With Administrator Text next to name: That's the highest level. These guys run TL. People like Hot_Bid, Plexa, Chill, etc... Red Names: Moderators with an additional role. Maybe they are writers, or TLPD contributors, or run a section of the forums. People like Neo, tree_hugger, etc.. Hammers: Moderators/banlings. Same powers of moderation as Red Names, but without any additional staff duties like running a subforum or TLPD or whatever. People like Yango, moon_bear, incontrol, etc... Blue Names: Cool dudes who post good stuff and are established community members. Stars: Great posters. And then the rest of us. Also random icons thrown in for TLPD people, writers, etc... | ||

If NA really wanted that spot they would just send all of Curse/Dig, and NA is more incestuous and without the language barriers of EU. | ||

As if a haphazardly thrown together team of players who probably speak different languages will do better than 1 cohesive team. If NA really wanted that spot they would just send all of Curse/Dig, and NA is more incestuous and without the language barriers of EU. EU should just send gambit; ez win npnp. TSM should be begging for everyone to vote the actual best players; because they're the ones more at risk not making it to worlds. lol. | ||

Like we have three more weeks of LCS, regional play-offs, then another ten weeks of LCS? So there's very little logic behind statements like, "EG or TSM should be hoping for that extra slot," since really anything can happen in the course of like six months. Copenhagen Wolves or Marn could end up as the #1 seed from their respective regions. It wasn't much more than a few months that CLG.EU sprung up and started winning against international teams. Or M5. | ||

There's this one match of Uzi where he played versus Positive Energy, and Uzi's Graves just straight-out humiliates the living daylight of Devil's Sivir. That's the match I first discovered Uzi. I mean, Devil is a solid AD carry in his own right, but Uzi just outclassed him in every single way possible. I'm guessing more informed posters could recommend you more matches, but that's all I have for now. http://www.reddit.com/r/LoLeventVoDs/comments/19dzs9/gigabyte_starswar_league_season_2/ I think it will come down to either Maknoon or Shy. They are probably the most popular top-laners in Korea. I don't think Maknoon will be picked because he has been getting ravaged by every single top-laner in the scene recently, and he has his share of haters. I personally think Expession should get the vote since his team sucks, and this All Stars tournament shouldn't just be about the biggest names of the world, it should also be a stage where talented players from each region can showcase their skill to the world. Shy and Maknoon already had tons of exposure, and there are other top-laners who are just as good as they are, but haven't had the opportunity to display their skills. I actually voted for Bjersen for this reason. sOAZ, Bjersen, Diamondprox, Yellowstar and Edward were my picks for the EU scene. I didn't vote for the NA circuit because I never watch their games. | ||
