I respect the guy 'cause I think he's easily one of the best esports journalists we have, but he's a cynic with no filter to the point where it's excessively abrasive. Kinda Roffles

Yeah he said chexx lost his intellectual integrity after making an argument but responds with "bwahahahaa" , like i can't even imagine myself typing bwahahaha in a conversation and expevted to be taken seriously.

He's also straight up delusional about impact just because he's a shy & flame fanboy (like myself) but calls other people fanboys.

well, to be fair, Impact is probably the weakest player on SKT T1 K, but that's not saying much. Even then, Impact's definitely not worse than Shy & Flame. I don't think he's as flashy, but he's far more consistent.

Imagine ahri, but instead of draining souls translates Korean posts, instead of being a nine tailed fox is some Korean guy and instead of being in the league posts on TL.

Not saying Impact is bad or anything, but Shy and Flame are literally the most consistent top laners out there, if anything, it's their team that's always failing them.

So there's still 34 of him, right?

Why the placement matches should have different culture than the season matches? Why should they have more trolls or DCs?

I don't think there are that many troll/dc, but sometimes the skill differential seems...off.
Had a game where we lost 4v5 due to some people making hilariously bad plays(like walking into a 3v1 with full vision, these are people with diamond borders....).

Gonna wait a few days before really trying to grind. Played a couple of games, went alright.

The skill disparity is potentially higher since Elo is compressed, making Gold V people more susceptible to be matched with Plat V for example. There's going to be some pruning/weeding out as people finish their placements and go up or fall back down (you can expect to fall down no matter what compared to last season obv. since it's the start).

Part of the reason why I'll let 1-2 weeks go if I can help it: the more people rush, the more stabilised the ladder will be once I jump in. Plus I haven't played in 2 months so I'll scrub it up even more than usual, better train some in normals first.
