I feel like players around Uzi get denigrated much like players around Lebron or Westbrook do. Look, if someone demands tons of resources, and your team wins, the rest of the players gonna look like mere role players. Even Faker looks pedestrian on A-Sol or Lulu sometimes.

I think that's because TL has the least cool story lines of any team coming. Will Kingzone perfect run the tournament, redeeming them for their embarrassing lose at worlds? How far can Uzi bring RNG? Can Evos be the next GAM? Can neutered Flash Wolves make the same dent in the tournament the famous line up did? How well will the kings of Europe fair?

TL is just sort of there. No one on the team is the best in their role at the tournament, no one is a rookie, we've seen everyone here on the world stage before. I think everyone just accepts TL is going to get 3rd/4th in the groups and lose to RNG/KZ in brackets.

I get your point but your examples are pretty bad imo

Lebron's a ball handler but he doesn't 'demand' resources. He is forced to carry a lot, especially this playoffs. Westbrook kinda, but Melo just sucks balls. Faker's lulu has always been at worst, top 2 lulu in the world and as a lulu main back then I don't ever recall thinking his lulu looked pedestrian. Pretty much learned something new from him every time.

I think in the case of Uzi, his reputation is just much more well known and well regarded compared to his counterparts and redditors dont exactly watch LPL so they of course will just attribute most of the success to Uzi without really watching the games. Not to mention all the ADC hype lately around MSI and a bunch of interviews coming out talking about how good Uzi is.


On caps/fnatic, I really feel like reddit is overrating them more than they did other LCS teams. TL's hype doesn't seem to be anywhere close.

Its Fnatic's first MSI, its potentially Bwipo's debut on an international stage after winning the finals. There's plenty of story lines to use to hype up Fnatic. Yes, as someone who watched the league I agree that their biggest challenge was a gimped G2, but we're talking about your average redditor here

EDIT: You know you might just be on to something, I'm watching a vod of hotline league and a caller just said Fnatic will "lose 1 game to KZ in groups then take it to 5 games in the finals"

#1. If you don't think the media/average fan forgets how good his teammates are, just look at what they said about Bosh, or say about Love now. Same with PG3 this year or Dipo last year with WB. They become an offense unto themselves.

#2. I Agree with your Faker Lulu comments, but how many times did you see the #1 Reddit thread say he needs to be on carries more? Its the clowns vs people who actually watch games. Same as always

It's also TL's first MSI and Bwipo is pretty uninteresting since there isn't much that makes him unique. It just proved how bad the rest of EU are compared to Fnatic right now that they can win so easily without one of their most valuable players. Like I could also easily make similar story lines with TL, it's just that less people are really caring to. Whereas for Fnatic it seems they are willing to just make whatever up.



I'm not really disagreeing that the random viewer has shit opinions but that these guys you listed as examples demands as much resources as it sounds like.
