If you have to be on a pro team to access whats wrong with the system or what needs adjusting, then riot wouldn't be allowed to even start the pro scene in the first place would they? | ||

Also some people don't understand that when some players say they wanna be the best and beat koreans they are just bs-ing so it makes sense for them to just do their own thing. | ||

Face it, the players run these organizations, because they are not indispensable in the same way that Korean players are. Yellowpete himself said that he gets to wake up whenever he wants and so does the rest of the team (he used to wake up at 11am while the rest of the team was up around 9am). No NA team has a curfew in place, I'd be willing to bet money on that. While every KeSPA has a team curfew. This is why we need "proper" coaches/managers. Let's bet money on that, because I know for sure at least one team has a curfew (one of the top 5 in fact). And also having someone as a coach above diamond V makes sense, you want them to at least have some significant knowledge of the game for direction. However, it doesn't sound like Froggen was talking about managers. Solo Q rank doesn't matter for managers. Coach =/= Manager. Coaches will have more input on ingame decisions and teamplay whereas managers handle activities of daily living and schedules. i.e. CLG - Monte as head coach, Kelby as manager | ||

it's only physically possible to practice football for so long, so as long as you show up for those what, 4 hours?, you're golden. video games don't have that demand on the body so you can also practice them a lot longer. | ||

That's not really true. You still have mental strain and physical strain(Even if it's not as much). Practicing for 8 hours solids isn't really worth it. Potentially has negative impact too. | ||

If someone is late for or tired at training/games and therefore cannot bring his a-game he will be talked to and probably penalized, but the idea that a curfew would be something necessary is laughable. american football is a probably a better example than soccer. soccer players can be easily sold between teams and even leagues. but american football you are either in the NFL or you are playing a different game (CFL/arena league have different rules). in addition its much harder to get rid of a player during the season in the nfl compared to euro football (soccer). american football players don't have a curfew in the off season, but they are expected to show up for training camp at 6 am for "voluntary" team warmups. not showing up affects whether or not you make the team or get cut as well as your starting position. its hard to be out partying during training camps when you are working out for 8 hours, and then have to get up for practice again at 5 am to be at practice by 6. during the season they are given curfews 2 nights before the game or more depending on the coach, bye weeks are a bit more lax but still the 2 nights rule. there are "voluntary" rules and there are mandatory rules, most curfews are "voluntary" but they aren't really voluntary. due to the small roster size of LCS teams, coaches can't enforce the same strictness that they have in american football teams with a 90 man roster but only 24 starters. | ||

Except they don't seem to do this at all. Most of what I've seen and read about the big korean kespa teams is that they advocate a healthy living for their players along side practicing the game. They also dedicate a lot of the time for reviewing and discussing the game. Only really the BW B teamers seemed to have the mindless grind. | ||

Far as skill goes there probably isn't a significant difference and since it's a 4+1 scenario integration presents approximately the same challenge. Plus you won't have stuff like "well back when I was on Dig, this is how we did X". i feel like tournament/big event experience is more useful than a random challenger cause a lot of challenger players aren't used to tournament settings | ||

Wouldn't it be cool if Riot put an item in that reset summoner CDs? You could make it relatively expensive and uncost effective (maybe have it cost 3k gold with 2k gold worth of survivability / cdr / runspeed kind of stats) and I think it would do great things for the game. Mainly, would kill the huge mobility creep problem. If I could flash every teamfight suddenly you can play a ton more champions... immobile adcs, immobile tanks, mages etc | ||

When is your adc going to spend 3k gold on something like that? Bruisers are much more likely to be able to spend that money while doing their job so it actually increases the vulnerability of low mobility champions even more.And that's before we start talking about how it will unbalance perfectly fine bits of the game. No. its a terrible idea. | ||

I think powerful item actives are cool though. It's hard to come back in LoL because the other team has 20% more damage and tankiness than yours so even if they make a mistake or you get a good initiate, they win the fight. | ||

pre-LCS it was more like i could tune in for a weekend and watch IGN/dreamhack or whatever then it ended and we moved to the next event. with LCS i find it difficult to keep track of how well teams are playing over the course of the whole season. | ||
