When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.

Betsy's sub performance has vastly exceeded anything Niq has done in his entire time there.

I just noticed that the Twitch livestream has its audio balance hosed up (as in it's much louder on the right speaker) while the youtube stream has its sound centered properly. Anybody else getting that?

Nothing special tonight:

CST - C9
T8 - TiP
TL - Gravity
TSM - Dig
CLG - Wfx

I think the storyline of Team Curse-rejects trying to go 2-0 over Team Curse is compelling enough to want to see that game.

I'd probably agree because I am struggling to remember niQs great moments.

Plus now I can keep saying heavens2betsy whenever he makes a play, bonus!

Niq's very first game for Gambit was a 0/0/0 affair while the rest of the team imploded. That's all I can remember about him.

Niq had some games where he carried but they were few and far between and most of his games were just passive stall offs. He was probably an above average replacement when they got him but he's just sort of hung around and everyone is always getting better. Betsy seems hungry for blood and Gambit has looked like a team full of blood lust again with him in mid and that's a good thing for spectators.

It's kind of a big deal when that's a five man team.

And that member is expected to take control of the game as it goes on.

I bet it's going to work the same way it works when the fifth guy is speaking Korean instead of English.

Yeah, when I heard that WFX communicates in Korean in-game, I assumed that meant that both Pobelter and Altec are Korean-American and speak at least some of the language. Looks like that applies to Pobelter but not Altec.

Pobelter is fluent in Korean, I imagine that Altec has learned some if he's not a lazy idiot. He's an ADC so he doesn't even need to know a ton of comms.

Pobelter is fluent in Korean afaik. I don't think Altec knows much of it if any.

Altec's Chinese-American IIRC, but apparently he's learning Korean at a decent pace.

If he speaks Chinese he'll have a small advantage in picking up Korean.

It is, but bilingualism is an enormous advantage in learning any new language, and certain forms of very formal Korean writing use Chinese characters (most obviously, names).
