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.

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.

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.
