Pretty enjoyable interview with IMT about their path to Worlds, Pobelter's handsome NA face, Cody Sun's name, and Lord Flame's ever-expanding harem.

Read this, really really enjoyable review.

Basically a player profile for Doublelift but it is anime as gently caress which is cool in my book.

The Doublelift hype vid's really good. Kinda surprised they used that clip from that game instead of the rather more infamous one, though. That game will always bring back the memory of Crown one-cycling Doublelift that's permanently seared into my brain.

She's so short, holy poo poo. She has to be like under 5'0 right? Dlift isn't that tall and he's towering over her.

I actually think g2 is really good but thats mostly in bo5, in bo1 they will probably get exploited as usual. Man group c is gonna be tough. I like all three 3 teams. Atleast Uzi vs Zven vs Ruler should be good and the midlane of Xiahou/perkz/crown is gonna be a blast too.

The voyboy seasons
1. Spring: dignitas voyboy brutally pastes everyone with lee sin and riven top
2. Summer: curse voyboy is the best western top laner, known for playing a bunch of mages as tank (kat, Annie, some other stuff I forget) abusing the last time in the professional scene you could be an ignite top in pro play
3. Fall: sick of Lane swaps, voyboy becomes the single worst mid to ever play the pro game. He almost exclusively plays non-meta assassins without escapes or cc who are basically solo queue picks only (akali most infamously).
4. Winter: voyboy streams solo queue games where he goes 8-1 in lane and then personally loses the game with terrible engages till he dies in late 2019 of fail aids.
