Peter "Doublelift" Peng of CLG Prime is the star of the 17th episode of my 'Grilled' video interview series. He talks about some past and present team-mates (HotshotGG, Voyboy, Saintvicious) and the strengths and weaknesses of the Asian teams.
Some of the topics discussed:
-If his mechanics are the best and the role of mechanics in LoL.
-Why he thinks Europe has the best mids.
-How much skill Support takes to play in comparison to AD Carry.
-What makes Chauster special that people don't see inside the server.
-Comparing HotshotGG's jungling to Saintvicious'.
-Why he thinks CLG turned Voyboy from the best top laner into a second rate one.
-HotshotGG's unique strengths at top lane.
The entire 43m55s interview can be watched at Team Acer.

Watching this interview right now, ~12 min in. So far very very solid. One of the few non-troll Doublelift interview. Really awesome stuff.
|
<3 Doublelift. Thanks for putting this up!
|
I generally avoid watching/reading LoL interviews (other than Pluto's which are at least somewhat funny) because they all have the same shallow and boring questions, but this is really good.
|
I'm halfway through and so far it's been a really great interview. Really appreciate it.
|
I can't seem to get the video to work :< On chrome here.
|
good interview but the audio quality needs a bit of work. thanks for the content

I like how he condsiders himself and Chauster top be among the best botlanes in the world and the rest of na to be trash a bit arrgant for someone who cant even beat TSM.

Sort of hard to carry a game when you have Hsgg in jungle.

You obviously haven't been on TL long, everyone here thinks NA scene is complete trash for exception of Doublelift.
Name an NA player that can actually compete with their Korean/Asian/EU counterpart.
What? You think Dyrus can play against Maknoon or Caomei evenly?
Reginald against Froggen? xpekee? alex ich? Toyz?
Any NA support in comparison to Madlife?
NA scene is trash, deal with it.

He wasn't that harsh on the NA players, he even said there is a lot of talent there, just that there is a lot they need to work out. And the bronze league sc2 comparison was when he was talking about him playing soloQ.

I dont know where u got the idea that i think the Na scene is good compared to the rest of the world from in the first place.

You're saying his assessment is incorrect. Opposite of "rest of na to be trash" is "na isn't trash". But, it's pretty true that NA scene is trash in comparison.
Secondly, you use a non-tangent point of saying that they can't beat TSM, as if that's somehow proof his assessment of NA scene is incorrect. Also if you looked at IPL5, it's a pretty obvious that CLG put a far stronger showing than TSM did.
So, both your points are incorrect.
And there isn't a single botlane in NA or EU that even holds a candle to Chau+DL botlane, even with loco+DL lane, they don't really lose lane to NA players.
And there are only a few botlanes internationally that are as strong (maybe stronger) as DL+loco lane, and that's locodoco+dl lane.

they lost alot lanes vs europeen teams like how they lost vs moscov five back in IEM Hannover for example

He compared solo queue to the bronze league. You created this account just to bash Doublelift and you didn't even understand his point. He said NA teams are bad to play against because NA lacks a depth of good teams, which is 100% empirically true.

Thats why they lost bot vs Fnatic most of the games in IPL 5 right?
I think you can blame jiji and loco for that one more than Doublelift. It's very obvious how good Doublelift is and it's a joke to think he's wrong for considering himself one of the best carries.
|
Doublelift is right in his assessment of him and Chauste (ok maybe a little too worshipful there but Chauster is very good), but he is either way too optimistic about the rest of his team or unwilling to say what he really thinks. Because if he thinks that the NA scene is such trash, the rest of his team might be even worse in some regards.
|
I think it's very obvious that he bites his tongue when he talks about hotshot and jiji, because he almost never mentions them. It's kind of ironic considering those two are the biggest reason CLG became a sort of brandname and now they're dragging the team down -- I suppose that's why they'll never actually exclude themselves from the team despite poor performance.
