(the correct term is "transgendered", that's a very reductive and mean-spirited view of transgendered people, et cetera) I don't have a problem with it, but I believe AHGL is supposed to be pretty universally acceptable because charity. Also, it's Piltover Peacemaker, damnit. Other than that, great cast tonight.  I'm glad you guys have gotten such great games to show off your skills in.
Technically, I said 'Transvestite Evelynn.' Never said 'Tranny.' So as I was trying to depict a man dressing in women's clothing, I think it was an accurate statement.
(Although you're probably right; didn't think at the time. )
So many thing we could have done better too and so many things I missed....
BiggleBuns' perfect positioning.
Wrote up a whole list of adjectives to use, forgot to use any of them.
Got flustered and stumbled over words a couple times (BIG NO-NO).
And I forgot to say 'Hot damn.' Soniv not happy with me for that one.
Otherwise SUPER HAPPY with how that went. We got mega viewers. Hopefully next week will be just as good. If you guys have any other criticisms for us, please let us know in here. You guys are our family; you don't have to mince words. If you thought we were shit, TELL US! We want to get better FOR YOU.

Oh yeah, there were a few gripes in chat about soniv's notepad document being on the screen. It wasn't obscuring anything, but I guess people just like the shininess of the LoL client.

Hey guys! Great cast! I really enjoyed watching it. I figured I'd pop in and answer some of the questions you guys were pondering throughout the cast:
Why did I build RoA on Evelyn?
I attempted to do several ganks before purchasing, wanting to get an idea of how much they were going to be pink warding and where. With 3 pink wards in the tab score screen, and the enemy tri and dragon both pinked, I realized my ability to do lane ganks in the early game were limited so I instead built for the late game since our comp scaled better than theirs.
I wanted health to protect against feast, since I expected them to be peeling for pluto instead of diving into our AoE comp and I was the only one really diving pluto on our team. Without health, feast will nearly one shot me and everyone else was set on protect bigglebuns duty so I knew I would be its target. This is also why I was building Warmog's as my last item. They didn't have the damage to burst us, so late game would come down to us AoEing them, or living long enough to do more sustained damage than them.
Why did we never try to force baron?
Liquid was super fed on Ryze, who does quite a bit of sustain AoE magic damage. Baron has a increased magic damage taken debuff he applies potentially to the whole team, up to +100% (double damage taken). That was too scary with Liquid's state. We needed to kill him to feel safe doing baron.
Why did we only get a few AoE combos off?
We're bad!
Can't wait to see more of your casts, gg!

Health right now is incredibly strong, and it clearly was the right line of thinking in the end. It was just a build that neither of us had ever seen.

Makes sense. I do think you probably could have forced it sooner. Waiting as long as you did really made Liquid even scarier. You let him farm up bot and top for so long, and he never had to use his TP. We never saw your full AOE ult coordination until the very end, but if you were able to do that at baron, it would have absolutely trashed them.

I lol'd. Thanks and looking forward to casting more!

I was trying to watch the Crs v. EA vod, and at around the 59:00 ~ 1:00 mark, the video cuts out and goes back to the start of the game. It's right when Crs is attempting dragon. Can you guys take a look at it?
Basically 0:30~1:00 and 1:00~1:30 are perfect repeats of each other. Still got to watch the whole game, but it was pretty messed up.

Already looked at it, already emailed twitch.tv about it.
I'm assuming it has something to do with Twitch's buggy bullshit servers and since they upload streams in 30 min blocks, the 1:00 block seems to have gotten lost so it started again or some shit. I dunno....ugh.
The worst part about this 30 min system is even if the blocks upload properly, there's still a 3-4s gap in the VODs between intact 30min blocks; this comes into play in the Preseason week 1 VOD, where we lose 4 seconds of a HUGE clutch Amumu Baron ult and Smite steal.

WTF? I wanted to save that Amumu ult and send it to Jumpinthepack's Top Fails.

The amumu ult bandage from that game was in the VOD.

I was talking about a different Amumu play from Imsakidd on team Epic during the Preseason. You watched that game.
The whole of yesterday's game is in the VOD, it's just that the first 30 min of the game plays twice for some ungodly reason.

Finished watching the VoD, I'm pretty tired atm so I probably missed a lot of stuff, be it good or bad.
I liked how you talked about items builds at different points, for example not only "what do/did they build and why?" but also "what will they build". You noticed the Shiv on Pluto a bit late I thought, at least later than me, and since you had been talking about how Soniv (I think?) prefers PD on Cait I guess maybe you could have pointed it out earlier, to reference your previous remarks.
Btw, it's Wickd that thinks BC is huge on Irelia. He hasn't said why afaik and I don't really see the point of it either (unless she wants to play Olaf "Some do physical and true damage, I do true and true damage").
Another thing I liked is how you pointed out the reason why so few things were happening in the midgame, with the fact that Curse wanted to use Teleport to get Liquid farmed, while taking towers and funneling the rest of the farm on Irelia, during which time EA was trying to setup an ambush to be able to take baron or an inhibitor uncontested. It can really get boring during those phases when you grasp what's happening and you just wait for something to occur (I thought EA was too passive and could have laid a trap to catch whoever tried to ward/could have forced the baron once wards were cleared, and if I was simply spectating in client I'd probably have gotten bored and just waited for somebody to decide they'd had enough) but you did a fine job filling that part and explaining the stakes and objectives while looking at buys and current gold to get updates on the situation.
And those last two fights, wow. But the crit from MF was unforgiving.
Really enjoyable overall, both game and cast.
Here, get some edit after a... morning of sleep (fuck).
At the start of the VoD I actually liked Soniv' notepad. Well, of course it took a bit of space, but that way you could keep an eye on the info while reading the picks and bans instead of having to remember everything he said. Also Soniv doing his homework. Good job.

There were at least two plays that game which deserved to be submitted to a fail compilation. So hilarious.

Hahaha I was laughing me ass off as Thresh...
Overall, I thought that was a pretty good cast, and the game was much closer than I thought it would be.
