I'll take a pro's insight over Monte's armchair quarterbacking any day. This is not intended to hate on Monte or discredit his thoughts, I simply think his observations would carry more weight if they were corroborated by someone who actually plays the game at a high level rather than someone who watches Koreans and is then asked by the community to justify their apparent dominance. That said, Monte is very adept at noting trends and patterns in the scenes he watches. If he can discuss with pros the underlying reasons for these trends, Riot could end up with the best analysis desk possible. | ||

Then the rest of them pretend that talking about what is good and what is bad is like revealing some secrets to opposing players and guard their "secrets" even though we all know that Zed is retarded. | ||

I don't undestand why they pick Zion/Nien and they didn't take Hotshot/Scarra. They both cast in past (hs: ogn / scarra: lone star clash) and ppl loved it. Also they are legends and well spoken compare to Zion/Nien. Only reason why they wouldn't pick Scarra is that he is fat / not good looking (bullshit reason) or his cough (reasonable). HS no idea. | ||

This also happened with Dandy once when Monte recommended something about the Jungle DanDy didn't know. He's smarter than most NA/EU pro's, and easily Diamond NA level without much effort. | ||

Montecristo falls into this category of an analyst, because this is the niche he fills as a caster. Many people here seem to think that he simply observes the game and makes up his own conclusions, but in reality he frequently talks to professional analysts/coaches and players of top Korean teams and learns from their immense knowledge. You can see how much he actually improved since he arrived in Korea. So, just don't compare them. If someone says "Montecristo has better LoL knowledge than most pros" that's a very vague statement that will never apply like that. If you say he has better team strategy knowledge than most pros, then it wouldn't be to put down any pro player at all, because their main focus is bound to be on other (very important aspects) of the game that Montecristo has little knowledge in. Equally someone like kkoma (coach for SKT) is bound to have a wider understanding of the overall team strategies than his players, because we can easily assume that he focuses on that aspect 12 hours a day or so, while his players are busy practicing 12 hours a day. This happens in many sports and is not an insult to any player, if their coach knows more about some of the aspects of the game... /rant | ||

He blatantly admits that he has, in comparison, very little understanding of the intricacies of lane matchups and item builds and all that stuff, that pro players are going to have (and also ex-pro player casters like Jatt or Kobe), but he is almost bound, by the nature of his job, to have a better big picture team strategy understanding than most players have individually. Players have to focus on completely different things to keep their mechanics up, their decision making, everything that makes them good as an individual, which leaves little time in the day for actually studying professional strategies. That's the reason why Koreans have so many coaches and analysts, because they simply can achieve a very high level of strategic knowledge simply by studying strategies and vods over and over again, while the players themselves simpy don't have enough ours in their day to do both.

If you know anything about Broodwar/Sc2/Almost every eSport ever, even the best, godly players have coaches that got them up there, despite their coaches being much more underwhelming when they were pros themselves. Flash's coach was a first generation pro that got high in rankings but never achieved too many great things. Coach Ryu Won that raised MMA to championships, I don't know if he even played Sc2 competitively. Game knowledge =/= Game skill. | ||
