I've been thinking about why i enjoy NA LCS more than EU.
The level of play is very similar in my opinion but i think what makes NA more fun to watch is how much people are invested in the teams and the players and their strong reactions everytime someone succeeds or fails. I can't explain what it is but at least online there is a far small response to EU LCS compared to NA. Just look at the LR threads and write-ups. EU is lucky to get even half the activity of NA.
I guess EU online following is spread across multiple places in multiple languages, the english level of many 'big' LoL countries here is pretty low as well so you don't realy see them on TL/reddit/wherever else.

It's called the internet being mainly American.

There's this secret TL+ section of the forum where nothing interesting has been said yet except for TL+ exclusive Mafia game. Mafia always looked a little bit too much like people pretending they are beating the math by trying to read people but only end up playing worse as a result. Not that I understand it much but that's what I got from watching 10 minutes of Neal streaming it.
I don't have the ad at the top which makes this site look weirdly squished
I can filter out people I don't like but the filter button makes every post bigger so that throws me off even more LOL
Also there was this post that linked a 3 minute video of Naniwa dancing only in his pink underpants to some really really sweet ass pop music, so that was pretty cute :3

Ryu is so hit and miss, either he looks like a god or he looks like the biggest scumbag feeder lol.
Maybe KTB will be strong next season, I liked them a lot two seasons ago in OGN before they choked vs. Najin, and had a lackluster Spring. Perhaps they'll be good again @_@

Mafia on this forum ends up really interesting.
A LOT of people play based on meta, which is essentially useless because when people know other people play by meta, then they alter their own playstyle. Ends up being a huge cluster of WIFOM, but it's a lot of fun.
Wish I had more time to participate in it.

Do you think the filter thing being at the top makes posts look weird?
I agree on no advertisement making the site look squished though.

I have a question for our leet diamond+ players regarding minion waves.
How does one best manipulate a minion wave to make sure it will push against the enemy lane as a big clump?
For example, lets say we're in the mid game. Enemy bot lane tier 1 tower is down and there's a lot of posturing going on mid and top. I want to go down to bot lane, clear out minions real fast, and then go back to the posturing with the knowledge that if the enemy team doesn't do anything about it, our minions will push on their tier 2 tower in bot.
What's the best way to do that? Do you just kill as many minions as you can as fast as you can, or is there some trick to ensuring that your minions will clump up and push as an oversized wave? Freeze lane until the siege unit comes. Just don't autoattack the minion, try to last hit as late as possible even if you have the ability to 1,2shot a minion. ??? That's not what I heard at all. From what I hear the pro teams in Asia have something called "the slow push" where they kill one - two waves of ranged creeps (or melee creeps) I forget which one but leave the others up when the lane is pushing against them in a long lane. This way their reinforcements take awhile to reach you but yours build up trying to kill the melee line. This causes your ranged creeps to "double up" on a wave which starts snowballing the wave super hard.
What you say is true too. You'll get it when you start doing it for awhile, but basically you still do basic freeze lane stuff. You can control how fast your lane push to sync with objectives you trying to archive, for example, you can start freeze top lane 2 minutes before the dragon spawn so that they can reach the enemy turret when the dragon spawn.
It's getting harder to control when you have 2,3+ waves accumulated, so you don't really need to kill off anything. imo you also should minimize the melee minions count as reasonably as possible because they worth much more than casters and do less damage than them. If you let melee minions accumulated too much, it will get to the point that killing that big waves gives half gold of killing a dragon already.

Something like triple Doran's Blade (started with one), Berserker's, Avarice Blade --> Ghostblade --> Bulwark --> Giant's Belt, cannot remember the rest.

Damn, sounds like I missed some intense Chinese games, sleep OP. What tournament were they for?
Edit: Looks like Monte was restreaming part of it on the OGN account so I can just watch it there, yay OGN subscription!

Nope, conversation-based thinking game. You have to try to outsmart each other knowing only your own role in the game to try to root out the mafia scum from the townspeople.
