Maybe. Seeing that video of Oddone telling the stream about his retirement and him choking up...that was just really, really sad...

These changes are literally the best thing that happened in NA for a LONG time and there are already people whining and crying about region-locking since they don't get to see players of ONLY one nationality in their region anymore.

I really hope Riot's not dumb once again and caters for the demands of these people.

It's especially dumb consider the US is ostensibly "the melting pot".

Yeah, his stream is what got me into competitive LoL. He's a weird, cool dude who seemed like he has a good head on his shoulders.

Oddone talking to his stream about leaving.

Bjerg was doing it yesterday. Think it has something to do with montecristo. Every time his team did something he talked about doing an OGN/CLG rotation.

Yeah they'll just tell LMQ to go home because they don't speak American and also banish Snoopeh and Krepo and Yellowpete also for not being from the North American land. Could you please not cater to whiners, Riot?

TSM actually has no one from the continental USA on their team now. WildTurtle is Canadian (as is TheOddOne, for the record), Bjergsen and Amazing are European, and Dyrus is Hawaiian. Xpecial's from California, but he's not on the roster right now...

I am addicted to video games.
Is this champions or masters? I never loving know but it seems like champions is the only one people give a poo poo about. edit: looking at the bottom left and the cut-scene transitions, I guess it's masters. I thought Chobra was the caster for masters, which confused me.

edit2: ahh, thanks. I didn't actually know they were on specific days since it seems like it's on either super late and sometimes it's on live when I wake up on the west coast. Word, that will help in terms of when to keep an eye out for the games.

Skatch is the sub. He was going to be the backup AD Carry but then they did a weird three-way switch and put Skatch on Jungle, Dandy on top and imp back on on AD Carry. This is his professional debut. He's always been there but never in a real professional match.

Rumble pick didn't actually seem too impressive but they did a good job of not letting Shy 1v1 Dandy or Nidalee do her usual thing. Frost botlane didn't look good at all in that game.

Welp just went and read Alex' statement on why he left in detail (only skimmed through it before) and then i went ahead and read Darker's statement on how things were when he played for Gambit - https://www.facebook.com/Darkerlol/posts/272913369556756 for those who haven't seen it - and i can't say i'm surprised that poo poo just fell apart given what happened and what the atmosphere is like.

As much as i liked Gambit and as much as i wanted them to be good again it won't happen and honestly i hope they get poo poo on and relegated this season and that the players within Gambit that keep a good attitude find good teams, current roster certainly doesn't deserve the recognition it got from past results.

I hope they find a way to put Dandy back in the jungle in the long run though. It's still easier to find a good top in Korea, or anywhere, than it is to find a jungler with mechanics as good as Dandy's. In the long run the insec swap was bad too.

Game 3 of the Samsung vs CJ set was great and if you watch any of the games that one is worth it! Game 1 and 2 were good too.

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.
Curse would be intelligent to jump on Xpecial but Xpecial would be dumb to go from a top 3 team to immediately drop down to a bottom 3 team. Xpecial is one of the best supports in the LCS of any LCS region and Curse is a huge step down for him. TSM is not going to easily replace him.
