[*]TSM, the John Cena of E-Sports, has replaced Amazing with a very jittery Santorin, who led TSM to a defeat by a very recent Challenger-turned-LCS team, Unicorns of Love.

Also, I sure hope subs can swap roles if necessary, because I really need to see Hotshot try in vain at every role this season.

Hmmm, this is the link it's giving me: http://fantasy.lolesports.com/share/join/league/377753/ZiA0CHMfvfYSxFLCN1hK

Are you guys doing a money league? Mine can be the non-money league if anyone wants in on that.

What do we use to log in to this? The same login info we use for the actual game?

Yeah, its based off the league site. which uses your game login.

Got drat. When I input the exact same info that lets me log in to the game, it says the username or password were unrecognized. Moreover, I can't seem to locate the email that I used to make my account, so I can't just reset it.

This setback will not deter me from joining a meaningless fantasy league and thus becoming extra upset whenever C9 underperforms.

That would do it - I'm NA, but am currently in Mexico on business so I'm being counted as Latin America North unless I specify otherwise. Many thanks!

Are there reliable vods of these leagues available anywhere? I know they're streamed on Riot's pages now, but I can't find any places with vods that aren't really inconsistent. I just want to see my favorite Korean players murder lower-tier Chinese teams.

EDIT: Ah, I see that the recordings are on the Riot twitch channel and /r/LolEventVods links to timestamps. My mistake, I'm used to searching Youtube.

Question about LPL: teams can plainly have 3+ Koreans on their roster, like Invictus has Save, KaKAO, and Rookie. But are they only allowed to field a combination of two of them in a given game?

Yes, they need 3 starting residents (Chinese players) although they can have as many substitutes as they want to.

That's a shame then that we're not going to see a game with all of Save, KaKAO, and Rookie, because got drat does that sound dominant.

So I work very long hours on weekdays. A draft that I take part in would have to be either on weekends, tomorrow (on account of holiday), or 11 PM EST or after. However, if this is the one factor that prevents other people from drafting at reasonable times, the TIGER MILLIONAIRES are happy to take an auto-draft.

Yeah, Invictus is my only horse in LPL, on account of KaKAO and Rookie being from my favorite OGN team of last season. They're looking great so far, but they haven't really been tested - they're 4-0 against teams that have gone 0-4.

EDIT: Haha and their next week's schedule is entirely against 0-4 teams as well.

Agreed: if we're just saying things like "Haha get hosed I did really well this week", that can be taken to another thread or to the chatbox that's set up in the actual league pages. But for setup, this thread seems fine. Not like there's other stuff happening right now.

As far as wuss league: like I said earlier, I'm happy to do a draft on Tuesday evening, but it would need to be at like 11 PM or later for me to make it, maaaybe 10 PM. But I'm also happy to accept my auto-draft fate.

Not every team has played so far but Snake's the one that's charmed me the most. They seem to understand the game much better than their compatriots. They're trying to play the game right instead of teamfighting (though they're aces at it).

Seriously? Feels like some teams have repeated lots.

Eight games each day for 3 days means each of the 12 teams have played 4 games. The standings are here. Poor WE and Gamtee, who both drew the "Get poo poo on by Snake and Invictus in your first two sets" stick.

After catching the Snake games, they're definitely my second LPL horse after Invictus. It'll be interesting to see how Snake fares against EDG - they're really good, but are they good enough to take down Pawn and Deft?

The bad news is that none of the teams I was sincerely rooting for won except for UoL.

Lots of Korean players have a ton of charisma, you just never get to see it since they look like deer frozen in headlights when they're NA. There's a lot more players like MakNoon or Lustboy who just love to troll people. Imp and KaKao both had outstanding personalities.

Holy poo poo, don't leave CloudTemplar off that list. "Sometimes I feel like your entire life is full of lies" is an amazing line.

Is Kori/Selfie not going to be playing again next week? I picked him up as a sub, but his expected points have shot from 40 to 0. I guess that means he won't be playing?
