To be fair, people memed Kkoma belt but I don't think he was a raging narcissist like Reginald. I'm sure he has had some difficult times with T1, coaches seemed to really force their opinions over the knowledgeable players sometimes. But Regi has been since forever for his attitude, just remember how long it took for him to step down as a player or the complaints of people who have worked with him over the years.

It's a shame that there isn't, at least publicly, a probe investigating Regi's alleged recent "gamer moments" with players, and more focus on Regi and DL bickering.

He stepped down in 2013, and even then he was still a top 3 mid in NA.

I meant more that he was trying to both manage a team/company while still playing competitively, Regi has often shown he likes being fully in control.
No one with the power to probe wants to do it, there's a lot of money at stake and big enemies to be made. Instead we get some more juicy Doublelift drama, which will blow over like usual.

So has Travis decided he's actually a journalist yet? Or is he just "reporting" for funsies. Because for someone who "isn't" a journalist he does an awful lot of reporting.
Here's his full chain of reports/rumors/whatever. River to Dig would be weird if true

Rekkles officially joined KCorp until the end of 2023. What a wild timeline already

I still can't fathom why you'd import Blue as a mid laner.

KCorp surely buy-out an LEC slot sooner rather than later. They've already got a roster that would challenge half of the LEC.

They don't have a jungler or support at the moment so I'll wait on see on that. But their roster on paper has a lot of potential. Also super sad for the Mikyx to TSM, I like him too much for TSM

Also all of these western moves are here and good but LPL about to blow up in the next few days and I'm here for that

Yes, I expect only EDG to come out relatively unscathed. There is enough S tier talent on the market to build 2 superteams alone, the question is if the stars will align to allow for it. Throw in some inevitable KR imports and you can expect another exciting year for LPL.

2022 LCS format update.
https://lolesports.com/article/lcs-2022-format-update/bltec9364825d050f86
LCS:
Splits are 8 weeks.
Back to 5 games Sat/Sun, two "super weeks" with 5 more games on Friday.
Records don't carry over between splits.
Spring playoffs is 6 teams, double elim, 1st seed gets to choose 3rd or 4th seed as round 1 opponent.
Summer playoffs is 8 teams, 1 and 2 seed get a bye, 1 seed gets to choose which side of the bracket they're on.
Additional:
Champions Queue will be matchmaking on a West Coast server for high skilled players serious about improvement.
Academy/Amateur:
Don't care enough to give cliffnotes.
|
Step in the right direction to get good formats, but best of ones will forever be an anchor weighing down the success of the west in general.

So the C9 roster looks like this:
Top - Summit
Jungle - Blaber
Mid - Fudge
Support - Winsome
ADC - Berserker
With Isles and possibly Zven (if he can’t be sold I suspect) potentially competing for bot lane.
I think this could be a top tier roster for NA standards but it carries a lot of risk as well. Imports are always a gamble as to how well they adapt to living in America and that could affect their play. However because they imported 2.5 Koreans I think that could help smooth the process since they won’t be totally isolated. The other big question mark is how Fudge will perform in mid. He was ultimately a strong top laner and improved a lot over time so I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility that he takes to mid well and becomes a top class mid laner, but it’s certainly not guaranteed. Either way, it should be fun to watch this team.

I'm really curious what language they'll be speaking primarily, as Summit/Winsome/Berserker are all fluent in Korean and Winsome(presumably)/Blabber/Fudge are fluent in English. From the content C9 releases Blabber's comms have sounded atrocious from the get go, so I'm a little worried what a mixed language roster will be like. But these are the type of imports I actually want in the region, being the more up and comers instead of the "lets see if 5 years into his career off peak Flame can carry us to worlds" tier imports so I'm over all excited.
On a separate note, Nongshim imploded and I'm kind of sad. The team was actually pretty good

Wasn't there a team in LCS that imploded partially because there was no communication between their Korean and North American players? I think Keane was on that team.

I think it was a Dignitas team where the coach wouldn't even speak to the NA players, only the Korean players. What a time that was...
