I am on the RabbitFive bandwagon. Let's go Rabbits!
|
So covering LJL is something I've wanted to do for a long time, and through LiquidLegends I've got a great vehicle to bring you guys news about my favorite underground scene. These guys have been pushing really hard to establish themselves without even having a server to play on, and they've managed to put together an amazing league with pro teams, team houses, and an offline studio with a live audience and broadcasters. The prize pool might not be that big, and they don't have a seed to the Wild Cards yet, but with the Japanese Server launch supposedly coming in 2015, I'm hoping we can show them some support and watch them grow!

If there's one thing I know about Japan, it's that they love waifus, and league has plenty of those. I'm predicting league to take off there
|
Rascal Jester will forever be da best
|
I don't know if he still plays, but there was a Jungler on Detonation RF named Awakerr. If he's still on the team, then people should really look out for him.
|
Rascal Jesters hype train! They're going to go full sports anime and win through the power of friendship.

I'll always be amused by the disproportionate amount of attention japan gets in anything gaming related

Yup, Awaker is still the jungler for RF. Did you play with him before or something?

Its awesome to see how much they are investing while still not having a server, hopefully Riot finally gets things going.
|
The Rabbit 5 logo is actually amazing.
