I think people came cause of the TSM tag and stayed because the stream was entertaining OddOne's streaming success makes sense cause ever since he stopped competing he put in ridiculous hours. I think he's one of the pros that manages to be entertaining but also tries to explain what he's doing/why he's doing things. Doesn't hurt that there aren't a ton of pro jungle mains that stream on a regular basis. | ||

I feel like he's tryna branch out so if he ever becomes league irrelevant there will be people who are willing to watch him play Civ or whatnot | ||

Tourney format meant that if your team gets knocked out, you're literally doing nothing until NLB starts. Then once you get knocked out of that, you're done for the season. Low-mid tier teams would spent as much or more time twiddling their thumbs as they did playing. This meant low-mid tier teams would have much less opportunity to improve since they're not playing nearly as much as the top tier teams. New format lets low-mid tier teams keep playing throughout the season. Plus, the reserve league means that former sister teams (should) still exist as they can play in that league. So the fact that the number of teams in Champions is being cut in half doesn't necessarily mean half of the pros from last season will be jobless. My completely unsubstantiated guess is that this is ideally a transition period for Korean LoL. While Kespa, OGN, and RiotKorea look for more sponsors for former sister teams, the reserve league gives them something to do and keep getting paid. Once there are more sponsors that can actually support their own team, maybe we'll see an expansion in the number of teams for Champions. | ||

Honestly, if Riot didn't have much of an influence, it would have been best to have OGN/SPOTV/KeSPA/GOMeXP doing their own stuff together, but whatever. | ||

I mean come on, if a team can play only 3 games in group stage and be done for an entire freaking season is a broken system. Also, like I have said before, BW used to run proleagues which are really no different from the LCS format. BW had OSL/MSL too, but that's difficult to replicate in LoL which plays in a group of 5. | ||

Prretty sure that any pro who thinks he's actually good at this game would rather leave Korea and go play matches that have an actual meaning elsewhere than stay to play in the consolation league. The smart ones will leave as soon as their team confirms that they won't be on the main roster (if there are spots left in other countries, which is the difficult and the sad part). On a side note, I was sad for Kakao and friends leaving Korea but now that I see this I'm actually hapy for them ; all of these players who are leaving will get to play real matches 100% guaranteed, on top of the fact that they are getting better conditions than in Korea. | ||

Also TOO's antics are a bit particular and sometimes just veiled QQ at his team, while Qtpie never gives a fuck and has the same broad grin even when he facepalms at what a teammate does (on top of being more proficient mechanically) and he plays around Twitch chat memes more, so I'd expect him to garner a very loyal fanbase too (and a larger one at that). Then again pr0lly is overall well-liked, but if he streamed I guess we'd see a small core of dedicated fans while the general public wouldn't notice him. I'm not too big a fan of Pobelter's stream when I have it on. His banter with Scarra on TS while he watches Scarra's stream though is hilarious. | ||

The existing Korean OGN format was fundamentally broken by strongly favouring strong teams who can advance past the group stage and play more games.

I mean, LCS has a huge mess of problems. a step toward LCS without addressing them is a step backwards. | ||

 It was so fun to watch him again on Aphroo's stream when they played ranked 5s! Such a laid back and positive stream, his was. Not many supp players stream anyway. | ||

Inhib towers get super laz0r with up to 100% armor pen, so to break into highground you need a big minion wave and baron buff that gives the minions damage reduction. Its like they feel sorry for EU performance this season and change the game for the stall gameplay | ||

I mean in different elos the reasons leading to stomps are different but at the end a stomp is a stomp. So my guess is that riot tries to make the games more back and forward with more chances for comebacks. | ||

if you take any of the themed changes one at a time into the game, none of them hurt the game much at all and many of them could be seen as an improvement, but all together just seems like a clusterfuck. | ||

In fact, part of the reason for some of the PBE changes was to remove the invisible comeback mechanics that were in the game already, like catchup jungle XP and reduced first blood gold. I still think that vision relics, scuttle crab, and tower shields are weird and overly complicated though. I can forgive the complexity of the other jungle changes mainly because I think they add something to the game. | ||
