I'm a huge football nerd and everyone considers ESPN a pretty huge joke in general since its just watered down stuff for the mainstream masses. They are still only verrrry slowly been incorporating more advanced stats and analysis despite those being around for 10+ years, and you still have hilariously wrong tropes like "When running back X has Y carries his team is 33-0, why don't they give him the ball!!!" constantly spouted by ESPN "analysts" and commentators. On the flip side, they are by far the largest sports "journalism" brand so a front page article on there (and not a brief one occurring right before worlds) is pretty big in terms of exposure. I don't know why people didn't like the article. ESPN got great access and actually revealed some interesting things that eSports writers seem to always try to keep confidential (like what is inside of a gaming house, discussing Faker's single-parent Dad). Plus that writer writes in a totally compelling way that kept me interested even though I knew the whole story already. If there were more writers that actually wrote pieces like that in esports and not just LoLeSports puff pieces and press releases then arguments like "we don't need an asshole like Richard Lewis" might actually have some merit. | ||

![[image loading]](http://puu.sh/ik6Km/76dfc31aa3.png) I enjoyed the ESPN article, it was interesting to read and had some stuff / perspectives that I didn't know. I really didn't like the last mainstream article I read though, the C9 one by the Kickstarter guy. | ||

If you watched MSI you notice that he is the #1 support if you are incompetent (Been true for almost ever, as evidenced by me not being terrible on him), however he is also pretty good if you are competent because he is Alistar and Q is the best non-ultimate support spell in the game.

You said the same thing about Thresh on multiple occasions in the past. Also the same could easily be argued for Flay then. | ||
