Jebus hosed his visa up, so Maplestreet will sub for Misfits during the challenger qualifiers
Can't wait for this to lead to Alex Ich being denied the LCS due to no fault of his own again :smithicide:

It is the exact same amount of DoA since they used to broadcast two days a week.

That's the same complaint Maple's last team had about him. Some people don't change. Maple will be ugly forever.

And now he's the temporary ADC for Misfits while Jebus is having visa problems. Source

It's just challenger qualifiers, I'm sure they'll be fine. Maple isn't completely awful.

Yeah, hes actually been able to do some things on Team8 in the last split.

Also he has a pre-existing synergy with Remilia (they duoed a bunch together).

I feel like Lustboy just kinda got grandfathered in if he entered the competitive scene in like season 4 that name would have to be changed

E: also yeah Maplestreet is totally decent enough to at least loving get them into the challenger league

I doubt it, I mean Riot got annoyed at sneaky for telling people "Welcome to my butthole" when they subscribed to his channel and told him to stop doing that.

David Stern jumping into e-sports (even if it's just at an investment level) is pretty weird and hilarious.

Hey! I wrote that :)

Also, a little more info on that, it seems to be his first major public investment since retiring, pretty cool. AlphaDraft has some smart people, based on the few times I've interacted with them. Growing fast, lots of potential. Only time will tell if the market can support this much VC but it's not our problem if it can't so

Eh, I think that Alpha can go very far without being subsidized by Riot. No matter what the rules are for the Alphadraft stuff, the LCS will always be the "top tier" no matter what Mr Stern desires to make himself a new NBA.

Somebody needs to save Duke from Naijin. He looks like he could be on a top 4 Korean team.

I watched the Najin/Anarchy set this afternoon.

Duke and Ohq are both so good. The rest of Najin sucks. Najin seems like the Dignitas or Coast of Korea now or something. I would replace everyone on their team except those two and just see what can be worked out.

It's so weird too because at one time I would have said that Ggoong was on the level of the very best mid laners in Korea and now he has like one good game out of every 5 or 6 and the rest of the games he just quietly loses lane. He got loving destroyed by Mickey from Anarchy today which is hilarious.

So Anarchy is looking like a pretty good team!

They're fun as heck to watch.

e: I find it funny that Mickey did all that with the wrong runes (took his AD page)

I don't know if beating NaJin amounts to much or if styling on Ggoong means Micke is actually good or not. He actually fell really far behind on LB in game one in a lane against Kassadin which isn't great.

I love Duke, he's one of my favorite top laners. OhQ is like Mundo in that he goes where he pleases and I find that appealing, I enjoy ADCs who don't give a crap.

NaJin has a sub for everyone on their roster except for Duke.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
