rumor mill says it's either expession or trace, both of whom are decent to great depending on who you ask As I told Roffles a few days ago I think Trace is a monster. He singlehandedly brought Aatrox into the Korean mainstream after world's and forced so many top lane Aatrox bans when he played. Has a lot of #potential so perfect for CLG. Expession is still dying in the hospital I thought?
Listening to Monto shit all over Trace's Aatrox pick in Champions last season was amazing, especially once Trace started carrying with it.

Yea, as people have said, Monte doesn't know shit and is really bad at accepting non-meta picks even when they are perfectly valid.

i don't want to try to speak from authority here but as a pretty big ex-nba fan, i remember that the d-league (essentially what the challenger scene is, for the NBA) barely pays its players enough to support themselves as well? they get like, less than a couple hundred dollars per game and a food stipend? and that's in an extremely established sport
i think it's unreasonable, at least in this time of development for league and esports, to expect organizations to fully support b-teams with housing + salary etc. especially when players are so fickle about sticking around for a long time without qualifying (see: every player that retires as soon as they don't make the LCS or get dropped from the LCS).
i know that doesn't really solve the problem of fostering more talent, but i just wanted to point out the parallel to an established physical sport

I don't recall burgerking destroying Hai/Link. Enlighten me.

Its just a socialist system. Like 100 athletes are hurt to benefit the other 50 thousand. I don't see why the internet hates it so much, its basically that hip new French tax guy's ideas implemented.
Edit: hip not hop, thanks Droid.

full ride through a college where they get joke classes just so they can practice full time for their sport without making a penny? I mean slaves got free housing too, if you want to go there.

Don't bother. It'll come back; if you force it it won't really do anything but burn you out faster.

Don't play it. Simple as that, just don't play until you actually get the urge to play again. Play other games, Dota, FPS, strategy games, whatever, just don't force yourself to play League until you actually want to, forcing yourself to play something is never good, you end up just tanking your rating or hating the game and stopping for an even longer time.

The quality of education most of them receive is so low that they might as well not have degrees at all (though there are exceptions, foremost being Andrew Luck). Honestly, them having a crap education is almost more of a reflection on how lousy American higher ed is a whole rather than the student athlete system though.
