HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

What the gently caress? I wasn't included on a best AD carry list created by the 16th best AD carry in this region on his stream?





I will crush him.

Apollo really is a terrible adc and the fact that he ranks himself in the top 5 is going to make his eventual destruction by literally every other team in the league that much greater to watch.

Wanting to crush is probably more Kobe, but being incredibly butthurt that a guy you never met before and who you are obviously better than didnt rank you in a personal list is definitely an A-rod thing.

God bless their vindictive, attention & approval craving hearts.

Michael Jordan would not say anything but show up every game and destroy Apollo.
Kobe would have a monster game and probably taunt him.
A-rod would show up outside Apollo's house every night screaming,'WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME'

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.
Apollo's rankings of AD Carries were:

4. Wildturtle
3. Doublelift
2. Sneaky
1. Apollo

Piglet's reactions, according to a moderator in his stream, were:

Apollo said that i'm not good at adc, how dare he?
I really want to play against him so that I can kill him. I really want to make him realize that he doesn't even deserve to bring up the name piglet.
I don't even know who the TIP adc is, I'm going to kill him if I meet him in game.
When we played against TiP he was so bad that i didn't even notice him.
When I heard that I was so annoyed and angry that it really pissed me off.

Of course, Piglet had a feud with Imp which was amazing. A friend of mine was translating some of the stuff Imp was saying and one of the things he would constantly refer to him as was the Korean equivalent to "Fuckboy"
Piglet's former S3 World's teammate Impact is on TiP which makes this even more exciting :allears:

If you were making a non-ranked list of people you thought were cool, and Michael Jordan was just someone you named in the middle of the list instead of first for no particular reason, he would grab onto that and point to it in an interview 15 years later as inspiration from someone who "wronged" him. Until then, you'd never know. Michael Jordan is a crazy person. I want to find professional gaming's Michael Jordan. It's probably a Korean starcraft player, unfortunately. They already have the implacable facade.

I love how passive aggressive that Xpecial already was about Piglet before they even played a game in LCS together. "I can tell Keith something like.....DON'T DIE and he understands."

Imp always seemed to have the upper hand in the Pig/Imp feud. I said before I was worried that Piglet wasn't going to adapt well to NA because I think he's kind of thin-skinned. I'm sure it'll be entertaining either way.

I think it was Jatt laughing about how much Curse spent on piglet when they could have just got keith, I think everyone kind of agreed with him, especially Xpecial.

Flameingblack posted:

re: Incarnati0n, people usually don't get over anger issues THAT easily. It's only been two years and I don't think he's had that much time to mature. What that means is if he were ever unbanned and messed up once, he would completely ruin any team he were on. Maybe he's a lot calmer now, but is the risk worth the reward? We saw what happened to SK at World's last year (Their Jungler using a racist name for his summoner and get banned for half of the group stages could have cost them a big opportunity at advancing)

C9 seems to have some organizational indecision - LoL and Hearthstone both focus on their players being as marketable and well-behaved as possible, but their Dota 2/CS:GO squads have prioritized talent first. So yeah, should be interesting to see how he turns out. He's definitely insanely talented.

It's 100% piglet and I absolutely love it. He's a prototypical star athlete - ridiculously talented and driven and totally a man-baby about stuff like that.

Yeah I can't complain if a star player gets super mad that he's not ranked number one by everybody before he's even come into a new region to play a game. That's The Hunger right there, and it's exactly what the league needs more of.

I think they're allowed, but not usually shown. I remember them showing the Poro King showmatch allchat until someone said "lol stop being gay" or something, and I know at IEM Cologne (or was it Hamburg?) last year, during Fnatic vs. CLG, Deman read out an all-chat message from Xpeke joking about "Best AD down" when Doublelift got ganked and killed.

It's definitely something both Riot and IEM have been more wary of showing ever since Diamond had that outburst in Season 2.

You're right, the team who's #1 streamer tells his subs "Welcome to my butthole" and reads donation comments about him having necrophiliac sexual encounters with his teammate is totally focused on everybody being mature and well behaved.

While it's certainly not optimal, and I'm not going to make the argument that it's perfect behavior, there's a world of difference between immature jokes and the racism/ableism/foam-at-the-mouth tirades you see from other players. On the spectrum of things 19-20yr old men constantly in the public spotlight are capable of, C9's on the fairly tame side.

Yeah, that might be immature (even though he's definitely not the only one who calls it that, it's a common silly joke), there's a difference between C9 being a bunch of 20 year old dudes (shocker) and that SK rear end in a top hat being hilariously, openly racist in a foreign country while about to play in an event millions of people of various races would watch. You can be immature and have a dumb, if age-appropriate, sense of humor without being an rear end in a top hat.

Because he doesn't feel like it and the little joke makes it that much clearer which ability it is. When you've got a team with multiple stuns you have to actually name them or you risk the wrong one getting used. He could say cocoon if he needed to, but it's his call.
