The new cigarettes I guess. Same reason fast food is popular too. A slow decline of intellect into convenience.
It's not the same reason. Coffee is popular because of it's effect as a stimulant.
Also don't agree with "Same reason fast food is popular too. A slow decline of intellect into convenience." as even being remotely related. You cannot label people dumb for eating fast food, there is far more to it than that.

theres some pretty hipster places with decent coffee in the us right? i went to this place by my school, they had a pretty nice chai (expensive as heck though).
blue bottle in SF is often cited as one of the better coffee places in the US.
i actually did take the time to make really good coffee. bought fresh roasted beans, grinded the beans only just before brewing, used either a french press or a single cup coffee drip funnel. of course, i drink it black. it was good, but it was a lot of work and the beans were kinda pricey. plus when you drink from the same bag of coffee beans over 2 weeks, you can tell when it gets stale.
so in a pinch i just buy starbucks. *shrug*

I drink Starbucks and Seattle's Best because it's on my college meal plan, but if I have some extra cash I always go to a local coffee shop just off campus. The coffee is so much better.
Real hipsters go to coffee shops you've never even heard of.

Crumbz is relatively new, if you compare him to OddOne and saint.

It's because his strength lies in his decision making and calls which we just don't hear. He's underrated because that's all background things we have no way of telling. The only reason the NA scene knows about him is due to everyone else telling us about him, and not really because of his plays in games. That's pretty telling.

If you've watched like one Dignitas game maybe.

Diamond and TOO are kinda the revolutionary junglers over the LOL timeline though. So even if Saint thinks hes better now, its kinda ass for him to get pissy.

And again, that's still just the NA scene. Now think of it internationally, and try to give an objective view of things.

I honestly don't think TOO has been revolutionary since Season 1. And even then he mostly just abused the fact that Nunu was OP at the time and discovered Maokai from solo queue players.
You'd also be ignoring the fact that for the first half of Season 2 saintvicious was considered the best jungler in the world and was revolutionary in his own right by being the only person who really played carry junglers (after IEM Guangzhou and WCG 2011 with CDE several Asian coaches benched their junglers and tried to find junglers who could "play like saint").
So yeah, other than Season 1 and maybe when saint first joined Curse I don't think you could ever call OddOne better than saint.

after the ddr dog attack boxbox has definetely reached legendary streamer status :D

Eh, I'm iffy on my timeline. As much as TOO does not stand out for me as a "revolutionary" jungler, If I remember correctly, didn't he popularized Nocturne? I do not believe this can be credited to SV only.

He still didn't exactly speak great praise of OddOne either >_>

Uh, everyone played Nocturne after release. He was pretty broken when he came out.
Unless you mean after a round of nerfs or something, in which case yeah. That was OddOne.
SV didn't popularize too many champions. Jatt played Udyr and Trundle before he did for example. But his style of play was completely different from everyone else at the time.

TOO also gained a lot of popularity because before his antics he was actually very knowledgeable and very outspoken on his stream about the jungle. You didn't have many streamers at the time, and even less who would explain their decision making while jungling with such detail as him. Considering how popular Scarra is because of that, TOO got a lot of following from there too, he was amongst the references.

The diamondprox interview was pretty awesome but the translation was pretty awful.Like even at start he says he can't say that he is the best yet the translation is the opposite.
