I love the simultaneous "uh oh" from Jatt and Phreak.

XWX... hasn't looked particularly good recently. I would attribute it to his team falling apart around him and him being stuck with all these other people who aren't his buddies from China (does he speak English well? I was never much of an LMQ fan tbh), but still, he hasn't looked that great.

Yasuo is such a bad pick here, he doesn't lane very well against Ahri, is less powerful in early skirmishes, and can't outscale her because he makes the comp all-AD

Crumbzz wasn't a coach. Mylixia has been their coach for this season, TP said they have no real coach because Mylixia has never been a pro or even a challenger player. Of course they've had coaching in the meantime, I just don't know how much of an impact it had compared to Cloud (if I were to guess I'd say Cloud is by far the biggest factor, that I agree with).

Edit: Misread you a bit

I don't know why you are bringing up Mylixia or anything of that sort, Dig literally put out a spot for coaching the day Crumbzz announced he was stepping down. I'm not trying to be rude or anything but....

I've known for a bit that there was a shitstorm with Selfie - that he flew out to Vancouver to try to play with Roar (due to LS being there) before being threatened - but the whole extent of it is pretty insane. Richard Lewis hinted at it but didnt reveal it till now.

Still, pretty hosed up that this poo poo is still happening.

I don't know if that's actually against any rules or not but if it is in the slightest I hope Riot takes a ten foot pole and shoves it up MYM's rear end. Do they fall under any labor laws? What country are they even based in and can that government also take a ten foot pole to their rear end in a top hat?

Well, mostly because I see Mylixia standing in the coaching position on stage when Dig plays, and he was called the coach (not just the life coach, the coach) by the riot casters on more than one occasion. I hadn't read the official announcement.

That's why I brought it up.

Crumbzz detailed it in his video, and the first time Mylixia was on stage they had a segment where he was their life coach and they were still looking for a coach. But all this happened 5 days ago (again when Crumbzz stepped down and pretty much blasted ODEE and the Dig organization for being poo poo/ran like a third grade production of how a team should be ran) so it's kinda wonky that you'd get so darn defensive over this.

You're assuming again that I keep up with news and videos related to the LCS behind the scenes, and I just don't. All I go by is what I see during the tournament broadcasts. Also, not being defensive. You wondered why I'd bring something up. I told you why.

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.
Why are people managing E-Sports the most ruthless, horrifying people ever? Regi and Hotshot might be miserable little shits but that's because they're just immature and not actively cartoon villains. God. I hope Riot intervenes in the MYM thing, they wanted to in LMQ but there were so many foreign parties involved in there and probably next to nothing they could do about a Chinese company.

I was thinking about how cool reginald is today and here are the top 10 reasons

10. got the boys from the bay together in the first place
9. bad at zed, just like me
8. enjoys chipotle
7. dropped out of high school
6. yelled at dyrus for no reason, allowing dyrus to unleash his anger and play better
5. called chaox a piece of dog poo poo on the ground
4. kicked chaox for staying up late and banging fangirls and not practicing
3. kicked himself for bjergsen, an entire year before the lovely dig players all quit (kiwikid, the one true dig player remains)
2. kicked xpecial, the most passive aggressive idiot in the scene
1. has a giant potrait of himself in LCS studios

Presumably because the only thing they have to answer to is Riot. There aren't any governments scrambling to enforce labor standards or corporate law on normal sports, let alone esports.

Also Regi is kind of cool. It's surprising when an ego like his has enough sense to step back when the time comes. He has made a lot of really smart decisions over the course of LoL.

Yeah, Regi kinda reminds me of Forg1ven, now that we have the benefit of hindsight. Really competitive, toxic because of his drive, mellowed out some with age and surprisingly entertaining nowadays. Who's ready for a pink-haired HotshotGG? :getin:

Correct. He is also still a coach for TSM technically. I don't think he does much since Locodoco is the full time coach but Dyrus mentioned Regi still contributes in an interview yesterday. I imagine he's mostly busy running the business side of TSM.

Also Locodoco sure has come a long way since he got caught jerking it on stream and abandoned NA for Korea. I don't think there can be any doubt that he is the best coach in NA currently.

Scarra has been doing a really good job with CLG too, even though he can't directly help in champ select. The strength of their pick/ban has been a huge contributor to their rise to the top 3.
