A 'Madlife' was probably the first term I ever learned about in league.Was pretty sad to watch him get subbed out and replaced by some random NA support in his final pro split.

Lustboy named head coach of TSM, Ssong moved to assistant coach(though the only real impact of this is who is on stage during pick/bans because Riot is a turd). Ssong will be taking a paycut for the rest of the year. I see people saying on reddit that Ssong won't be retained past this year, but I don't see anything in this article that explicitly states that. | ||

Is there something about harvesting resources from the whole map that makes it easier for solo laners to play a superfed marksman than it is for adc players? Mids have some familiarity with marksmen due to Azir and Lucian rotating in and out of normal metas, along with the territory of mid lane from a laning perspective. Bot laners are super used to their own lane with a partner. | ||

It's just who they most comfortable with having as sole carry. You see LCK teams switch their mid to bot lane and funnel into the ADC player in mid instead. In G2 case I think it's just that Perkz is the best player in Europe and a mechanical beast so they feel most comfortable with their oldest member and best playing the sole carry. I'm fairly sure it doesn't really have much to do with him being a midlaner as the play pattern of funnel is drastically different. It makes more sense to me in general to switch as we've seen ADC players across the globe be real shit on non-ADC champs. G2 is just a fairly unique case. | ||

I barely watched any LCs this weekend so I’m not 100% certain but my gut tells me Meteos would be an upgrade on a couple of teams, Flyquest included. | ||

Problem with putting in Levi is you need to take out Ssumday or Ryu. I doubt you're going to take out a top 3(at worst) top laner in the league, so you're taking out Ryu for Linsanity. | ||

EDIT: Also FQ would be stupid to not start him EDIT2 ESPN-boogaloo http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=1-23968082 So 100T got Anda out of the deal | ||

This feels like jumping the gun because of some pressure to play Levi - whatever it is, the main roster's play sure doesn't make that a clear issue. On top of that, it sounds like they'll be keeping Ryu on the main roster instead of Ssumday. | ||

1) He was already being benched next week at a minimum, this was announced a week ago, so saying it’s unfair to trade him to someone who won’t start him is not 100T’s responsibility 2)Didn’t tell the player, which is a big ?. Tell him before what? It was announced? Meteos announced it. Before the deal was done? According to Meteos himself the deal was finalized Friday so they told him as soon as this weeks games were done, to me that’s pretty reasonable to not want Your games this weekend to have that in the background. I will accept what is the point of this trade because I’m not sure either. I don’t really see what either team is getting, have to assume it’s a money thing, but like point 1 said if he isn’t interested in playing Academy he was donzo regardless. | ||

And the second point is that Ssumday actually came off of his best NALCS weekend performance (as far as I can remember), so if they don't have a non-import substitute for Ryu, it sounds like a risky roster move... I guess in the long term, if the team decides to play standard or if the meta stop being a fiesta, Levi would definitely be a better choice than Meteos if they can resolve the import problem. | ||

I think 1 might be caused by Ssumday going back to Korea during next week. Maybe to renew his visa or something? I remember Bjergsen had to do something similar a while back... or some EU import did. At that point you have an import slot open anyway, so you might as well use Levi in the meantime. Either way, Flyquest must have something in mind or the trade doesn't even make sense. Agreed with 2. People coming at it from that angle need to get a dose of reality or find a new slant. I expect Meteos to be starting for FQ, otherwise I don't even make that trade if I were them. Only thing 100T gets out of it is starting Levi at the cost of shuffling unproven NA talent into their mid lane. Not something I see being worth it for half a split when they could way for end of season free agency to explore options. | ||

Also I wouldn't rule out Meteos not starting for FQ either. They have his contract now, they could literally force him to ride the bench for a split then sell him off if they really wanted to. This trade really doesn't seem to benefit 100T in any way whatsoever, so I'm curious what benefit they saw in giving up one of the most valuable players in the league | ||
