When TSM got Lustboy a lot of people were declaring it to be a nepotism move because of Locodo and swearing he was washed up and TSM would drop out of the top four. He's beloved after a year of being hilarious, yeah.Jerkface posted:Funny thing about Seraph is that he also turned into a huge toxic piece of poo poo. Wasn't his thing that he was reclusive and wouldn't play with anyone on the team? Or is this after he left CLG?

Yeah I thought TSM dumping Gleeb because of his mental health issues was kind of cruddy, like a weird esports version of the ridiculous idea that some people can't play in New York because of the pressure.

It could just be because most of the top tier teams disbanded after World's and went to other regions which left a mostly un-touched SKT, a mostly untouched CJ Entus, and a Superteam in GE Tigers. rabidsquid posted:Yeah I thought TSM dumping Gleeb because of his mental health issues was kind of cruddy, like a weird esports version of the ridiculous idea that some people can't play in New York because of the pressure.

Ehh I don't know about Lustboy's vision control. In the CLG game, Aphro/Xmithie completely owned the map and Lustboy couldn't do poo poo. (Then the game fell apart.)

There was a bunch of stuff about it on twitter before that apology as well. I don't think anyone's saying all Koreans are toxic though. Lustboy, Huhi, and Maknoon had people complaining about them but that's all pro players, and nothing about their toxicity.

Lmao, is there any wonder pairing the world's most precious ADC with the world's most passive-aggressive support didn't work out well? More interested in the Gambit switch though. Health problems would explain NiQ's uncharacteristically bad performance so far this split. I hope he recovers from whatever it is. At least getting Kori away from MYM has got to be a good thing! Not sure a player known for throwing is what Gambit needs, but Diamond should sync well with Kori's lane aggressiveness at least. We'll see. The theme of the week is "good players are actually bad when they're miserable/terrified/ill" so maybe a free and happy Kori will be just the thing for Gambit!

Flameingblack posted:I know someone who was dating him and the boy was miserable. He wasn't sleeping at all and was under so much pressure to perform it was making him physically sick. He had to go get medication to help him deal with his depression as soon as he left TSM and it took him a while to bounce back. I think TSM didn't have much of a choice but to replace him, he would have broke down pretty soon if not so. TSM benched him for his own health and safety, not because Loco wanted to just bring in his friend. This is interesting but we don't even need this anecdote to know this. He said as much in his post after being benched. he said the pressure was too much and he had mental health issues and he was cutting back on his sleep to soloqueue like 13 hours a day or some poo poo on top of his scrims and was sleeping like 4 hours a night. He was basically doing what Piglet did for all of season 3 but with a mental disorder on top of it.

rabidsquid posted:It's a pretty huge waste having Flame on the bench in the LPL too :I To CLG's credit Zion's cut back on that playstyle a bit. LGD however, already has Acorn who's much better at the tanky/support style top lane meta than Flame is. Flame's still probably making hella bank just streaming in China and being paid to not play on other teams.

Krepo posted a picture of his friend in Blackface (direct link here) and got attacked by people calling him a giant racist because of it. His replies were:quote:I had to Google what blackface as an issue was. Sorry we're not as butthurt in Europe. We're literally copying a movie. To presume it's racist says more about yourself than me tbh. I understand frustrations. But over here it's not even close to an issue. I have plenty of "black" friends and I respect everyone. I respect the issue. But I still don't feel we did any wrong. E-Sports drama! e: The context was a Dodgeball movie cosplay they were doing.

^^ Man, ignorance sucks.Flameingblack posted:He's the Zionspartin of Korea, in that he can totally carry a whole team on his own and usually tries to do so, and he will absolutely win lane most of the time if you let him play whatever he wants to, but he has a harder time playing for the team and not playing for himself. They can both play tanky top laners but it's not their forte and they both seem to really just prefer going Riven or Jax, winning lane hard, and then winning game on their own. I wish I even understood Flame's Kennen, forget wishing I could play it. e: isn't Piglet like Top 5ish on Solo Queue right now? Maybe 2-3? It's not like he's suddenly bad at last hitting or something. Badfinger fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Feb 16, 2015 |

Nooooooooo Krepo I liked you. But actually I'm pretty bummed out about niQ having to step down for now. He showed a lot of promise in season 4 and while he didn't fulfill that promise earlier in the season he and the rest of Gambit have been improving. niQ just has no luck I guess.

Who knows if that's ever been an issue in Belgium where there are hardly any people of color to begin with to tell them why it's not cool. But whatever, Krepo isn't so giant racist dickhead he's probably just oblivious to why people are making a big deal out of it and since no one's intentions were racism when they did the blackface he doesn't understand why people could get upset.

Hence my comment about ignorance. He seems completely ignorant to the issue, to the point that he doesn't even know that responding is going to get him in some poo poo. And yeah if he was a soccer fan at all he'd know that blackface is definitely an issue in Europe, particularly some issues in Belgium if I remember correctly. Conclusion of Doublelift vs Piglet Solo Queue faceoff: Piglet went off and carried pretty hard.

Lustboy's vision control was fine. It's just that he had to carry the vision solo because Santorin needed armor so badly he could not invest in a Sighstone. The second cash started flowing into the TSM coffers, the gamble on vision paid off and Lusty got control of the map. EDIT: And re: the blackface thing, this is definitely Krepo just not knowing that it's a very sensitive matter, really. You can easily tell that the cosplay was just for fun and not to offend anyone, which is why he's upset that people are calling him a bad person. If somebody just explained politely how bad of a rap blackface has I'm pretty sure he'd come around. Transient People fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Feb 17, 2015 |

Doublelift did go over the Piglet drama, saying that apparently all the pro's knew what was going on with Piglet and didn't want to say because that'd be bad manners. Then was surprised when the fact that Liquid's coach retweeted the "Piglet ragequits and calls his mid/supp bad!" comment.

Cloud9 Tempest has been banned and disqualified from the LCS Spring Split for using a "Ringer" (One of their players didn't patch the client so the team manager played for them  )Cloud9 Tempest and all their players have to sit out the rest of the season and Cloud9 can no longer sponsor a challenger team. What a lovely mistake to make that put a bunch of people out of jobs. http://na.lolesports.com/articles/competitive-ruling-cloud9-tempest The player is claiming that he patched the day before, but it became corrupt and he had to completely reinstall and kept loving up. Riot still blames the organization for not contacting Customer Support first when the issue happened. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Feb 17, 2015 |

AdjectiveNoun posted:The thing with Korean imports is we have plenty of examples of people rushing to get Koreans because they have to be the best. Like Coast picking up Ringer and Miracle, who were like rank 1 and 3 on Korean Challenger - that means they'll stomp NA, right? IIRC they were actually like Diamond 1/2 players so it's even funnier. gently caress Coast. e: I think they were challengers in ranked 5s but not in solo queue.
