No logic, probably but that's what most ppl do, lol. He's a famous lol player because of his personality and the statement was that there are no big eu personalities, but that is exactly what wickd is.
Well he isn't exactly on a top team either since sk has 0 lan wins still and failed to qualify for dreamhack.

It's too bad that this fact means absolutely nothing. He's a famous LoL personality, whether he wins games or not doesn't matter, he's still e-famous.

hsgg is the only one i would say has a big mouth. Regi and dyrus talk shit but normally its all in fun or trolling.

If you read the initial comment i said well liked so your point is kind of not pertaining to that.

Had to stay home in California because his professor wouldn't let him take his final yesterday earlier or later.

I love shusheis stream as well as candy's and nyph, cannot stand wickd though for the same reason i can't stand grackis. Plus hsgg and wickd both at times have the i'm better than anyone mindset but the difference is hsgg is arguably the best top laner while wickd is maybe 5th at best.

But following your logic hotshot isn't well liked either because he has nearly the same ratio of anti-fans to fans as wickd.

I think SK will come out strong here after the humiliation that was yesterday. They'll probably put all their nerves behind them and be eager for redemption. Whether that will be enough for them to beat TSM remains to be seen though.

I would honestly like EU teams a lot more if they had the brash personality like jiji's.
As it is now, I don't watch them much so I'm rather indifferent.

Also with eg being the yankees of esports when are they gonna pick up a lol team, hard to believe clg and tsm are still without a big esports company behind them, not sure if that is because they are fine with their independent sponsorship or if they just don't have offers.

Fnatic? Sk got sent packing in straight games.

Yeah, jiji seems so untamed in his interviews, i think Europeans might be afraid that someone will laugh at their english/accents, while jiji just doesn't care

They're talking about the EMS finals that are being played between the 2 semifinals. Something like SK vs TSM for $5000.
edit: Um, need to go out for a bit so I might miss part/all of the EMS stuff. If anyone could post the picks/bans in the thread, I'll put them in the OP.
