I wonder how the hell that came together. Pretty cool to see a big electronic brand that's not solely gaming related or Korean industrial in the esports realm.

I listened to their $269 variety headphones today and thought they sounded about as good as a $100 pair of senns or ATs. At least they're using the crazy amount of money they are making on something I find interesting, though.

e: oh god now I will have to associate Madlife with dr dre

Oh word? Thanks. I was looking for some headphone info.

Beats are really lovely for their price and you're better off getting literally anything else (other than bose which is also majorly overpriced).

It's good for league though since those are super trendy.

RealFoxy: May 11, 2011; 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.

You're paying for the brand not the quality. I saw them wearing the Beats last week and only noticed because I have the same headsets they use

So the wuss league consists of:

1. Me
2. TWSS
3. Jonny Angel
4. Libertine
5. Invalid_Validation
6. Manic_Misanthrope
7. Zerilan
8. Monathin

Tomorrow night doesn't work for TWSS, so can we all do Tuesday? I can do pretty much anytime during the day or after about 8pm that day. It's not the end of the world if you don't get to draft, as Riot's auto-drafter is pretty decent, but I'd like for everyone to get a chance.

Does 6:30 EST work for everyone tonight? This might be a workable time (I realize this is late notice).

If we can't get a time together let's play on doing the draft the night before the LCS starts at 7 EST. That would be tomorrow, 1/21, 7 EST.

Is it happening tonight or tomorrow? Tonight I'm sitting here refreshing wondering what the hell is going on. Tomorrow I've got plans so I would be pretty much hosed for the draft.

LCK Week 3: KT vs CJ.

Game 1, both Gnar and Rek'sai went unbanned. Let's see if someone can unleash the full power of patch 4.21 Rek'sai.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of their lineup. Really gotta control vision and get some amazing flanks.

How can KT possibly be this loving dumb

HOW

You do not loving trade fifth dragon for baron. You do NOT loving TRADE IT. You go and contest and expend everything you have to get it because it loving ends the game. ARGH!

This has to be the first game I've ever seen where a team immaculately holds dragon control and first mid tower for thirty minutes and still doesn't deserve to win. Relegate both teams, jesus christ.

I honestly do not know what CJ was thinking with their pick/ban phase. I thought having coaches in the booths was to prevent stupid poo poo like that!

Yeah, that whole draft was just baffling. Really with CJ first letting Rek'sai slip and then letting KT pick Gnar into Azir on the same team and Jarvan on either team, the only surprise is that this game was as close as it was.

Gotta say, I wasn't convinced on Cj's comp, Tristana really didn't look like she fit there what with three midgame champs, but holy poo poo she hit full hypercary mode before the enemy team came out of their early.

Much better. This is the sort of game I was thinking we'd have. Dumbest team in the league gets absolutely massacred by the veterans who finally got good.

Leblanc first. Jayce at least falls off hard if you draft a supertank. Leblanc just deletes people even seventy minutes in.

I really don't agree on CoCo's MVP for game two. Third one, sure, those snipes were absolutely devastating, but game two was all Space.

but then again S1 world champs weren't exactly a proper event, so I can see them not counting that when choosing regions
