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.

They just don't stream and aren't big-mouthed like some americans "big names" that's all.


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.

Why american teams have so much more personality? Other than shushei there isn't really a personality that is well liked eu side.

Because back in the time when there were almost no streams there were 2 streamers slowly emerging - Hotshot and Wicked. HS while having some flaws was actually quite an enjoyable streamer, Wicked was just the worst streamer ever. So later everytime EU streamer appeared i didn't even bother to watch his stream - i guess many more people had the same attitude

I think part of the problem is that a lot of the EU players don't speak English as their first language. But US players come across in interviews a lot better whereas most of the EU players come across as being incredibly awkward. Could very well be a language issue/cultural issue.


I think this as well. A lot of the EU that get interviewed are overly polite and formal.

I'd say that European English abilities are similar to jiji's ones and i really like jiji's interviews. "Sooo then we fucked up" etc

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.

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.
