I think a big part of the Namei hype is from Doublelift.

Dominion is great. I use it to learn/practice character mechanics when I don't want to bother with a full game or fighting over picks and roles.

not that it's important but why does thooorin have such a huge obsession over clg. like 50% of his interview questions are about clg and he's come out with this 'autopsy' of clg and saint.

I think the best CLG was with Kobe24. They won a lot back then too and for a long time Kobe was considered better than Saint. Those were the times when Chauster had like a under 2 death average on Ezreal over an entire season of ranked play.

I'm pretty sure he can be considered a doublelift fan(seems like he enjoys the doublelift interviews he does). Also CLG has such a roller coaster history, they make a good story line. If they ever break out again in NA, you can be sure everyone would enjoy it.

Probably because they are kinda interesting, I mean, Im not even a CLG fan, but if you are doing an interview the only interesting things to comment on typically have been: The meta, Regi, Ocelote, StV, and the CLG carousel. Pros are always pussies about the meta, as if their insight that Mundo is strong is going to lose them a match, and they all basically say the same stupid trashtalk lines when talking about players individually.
It makes sense, even Esex has like 5 CLG articles for any 1 for any other team.

What I think he means is that Doublelift hyped him up, so all the liftlift fans(the droves of them that there are) take it as gospel and blindly repeat it.

If not, your opinions are invalid.
I think there's a difference between watching most of the 5 leagues and being able to digest/quantify what happens in those 5 leagues and convey it in a semi-logical manner.

Even so, lacking knowledge of even 1 region widely throws things out of context.

Right. What he said. I vaguely recall a doublelift ama where he was hyping up Chinese ADCs, and specifically mentioned Namei. This was a long time back, but I'm pretty sure it contributed to the hype. I mean it probably helps that namei is still a decent ADC, and Chinese ADCs seem to be very strong overall.
