Bottom Liner posted:Anyone done a breakdown of what the hell T1 was thinking with that game 5 draft? Blue side with a 100% win rate in the series and they threw it away for a first pick Karma with Aatrox and Caitlyn up? Bengi said in an interview that he didn't think they would be picking aatrox in the first 3 picks. Why, I'm unsure. Faker can play a variety of champs so I don't know why the gently caress they didn't just take yone Also I think they could just not ban heimer.

Vermain posted:also the caster reaction to the game 5 steal is absolutely hilarious, kobe picks up and hurls his water bottle randomly and then glances behind to make sure he didn't nail someone. i didn't even hear caedrel screaming "WHAT THE gently caress" on air. what a truly insane moment If Kobe had remained still for another couple of seconds, I think Caedral might have kissed him. The reaction of the Spanish language casters is also pretty great.

i should go dig through the korean VOD and see what their reaction was like, CT must've been popping off if no one else with worlds finally over, i'm going to start putting together a new OP that should be done sometime this friday/saturday. no real crazy plans for it; probably gonna have a brief new viewer's guide for people who might be curious and some quick regional summaries with stream links. if anyone's got something they'd like to see and/or thread title suggestions to help the least funny man on this forums not embarrass himself trying to be witty, drop it here and i'll see what i can do

1stGear posted:Finals peak viewership (non-Chinese) was 5.1 million, breaking the previous Worlds peak by one million. having a once-in-a-lifetime story like deft vs. faker must've helped to punch up the numbers a ton, though that's still a shocking number for being in the literal dead of night for every EU country. very curious what the chinese numbers were like in a nice aside, it looks like DRX actually spent most of the last week scrimming against a rotating mcdonald's roster of guys like dhokla, diamond, pobelter, and tomio thanks to arrow setting things up. the funniest thing is that it might've actually helped out more than you might expect. check out this game dhokla was playing: https://twitter.com/dhoklalol/status/1589410736107028481 see that botlane? the random lux ban in game 5 might actually have been a direct attempt to counter a strat DRX had no clue about until the scrims

Stux posted:what??? but i thought the reason na lost was they had no good practice partners to scrim against??? lol this is actually a common occurrence, since, by finals time, almost every losing team will have booked it home for vacation time, so the two finalists have to scrape together whatever offseason gigagrinder regional talent is around into scrim teams. zeus was apparently having to practice 1v1s against revenge, which might explain his finals performance Luna Was Here posted:beryl doing the same poo poo he did on dwg and asking for a gacha reference skin for ashe lmao might be genuinely one of my favorite pros of all time. dude looks like he couldn't have given less of a gently caress about winning a second worlds title, plays almost no soloq, and spends every waking moment of his free time pulling the gacha lever

even the lighting is conspiring to make them look 60 years old note that 100T recently ditched papasmithy and reapered so they're really looking to go all-in on the "we're just in it for the hoodie branding" meme. god help whatever poor sap has to try to coach this powder keg of a roster

Interesting change to Academy, they're incorporating 6 amateur teams into the mix. https://twitter.com/PathToLCS/status/1590041468856516609?t=AW22I-c1L1sghxBz4siwMw&s=19 I'm heavily ootl on the amateur scene (outside of God's Gift to Esports RJS) so I'm surprised this is being done in NA as opposed to Europe, I kinda would've figured that most of the developing NA talent worth having would already be in Academy.

Luna Was Here posted:Interesting change to Academy, they're incorporating 6 amateur teams into the mix. Europe already has the ERL scene, which is strong enough that the requirement for LEC teams to have Academy teams has been dropped completely. Hopefully this is them looking to transplant that model into the LCS and creating a strong amateur scene in the hopes they can drop Academy teams completely as well.

Also NA desperately needs the talent training ground for casters and analysts as well, that's one of the lesser talked about benefits of the ERL system that it lets casters get studio experience.

Winning cures everything, but if no one wants you even on a minimum salary (the Schaalke doc made it clear Forg1ven was a hail mary risk on a player who potentially had talent but could be had for cheap due to his bad rep), then it's gg for your career.

should have the new thread up by tomorrow barring something weird, but in the meantime, FTX went loving belly up and the results should not surprise nor alarm you https://twitter.com/tsmreport/status/1591188830979137536 guessing that means the FTX Gold Advantage is gone from the LCS, too. hopefully they've been scouring for new partnerships for a while now because i don't think statefarm can carry the entire broadcast financially
