Does faker stream? I don't think I've seen him on twitch.

He's got an exclusive contract with Anzbu or whatever it is. So exclusive that when somebody tried to set up a twitch stream that spectated him via the game, they shut him down (Anzbu and Riot).

He streams on Azubu. There was a guy broadcasting the spectate view of him on Twitch for awhile but Riot shut that down and there was a big stink about it all.

Azubu only mate as others said I do think someone reuploads it to youtube though and you can definitely catch games there if you're interested in just watching him play.

i think my fave streamer last year though was actually scarra, learned poo poo loads watching him narrate his play and on why he does things and the reasoning behind it, plus it was super entertaining to watch. He's worth watching on youtube too!

Scarra has always been one of the best streamers, both for entertainment and actual learning. For jungle Santorin is actually really good. I watched his stream a few times in the days before IEM and he was explaining a lot.

Actually I'll watch scarra sometimes too, he's very knowledgeable about the game and I appreciate his verbosity.

Sounds like I need to check out anuzba sometime. Reading about faker seems like he is legit.

Thanks guys!

This year though isn't the lcs unified? So in theory could Bjerg end up playing faker in the finals?

I enjoy Voyboy's stream as he does something crazy, gets blown up, and then sadly explains to the stream exactly why what he did was a bad idea.

No. The LCS aren't unified and Faker plays in the Korean League which is run by KeSPA.

scarra's stream is still my favourite, but it has been hurt now that he only broadcasts once, maybe twice, a week since joining CLG

Krepo's stream is pretty informative as well, but he tends to get negative at some point and I can't watch him constantly bitch about what someone else did in his game.

Well, uh, no, not really. The regions are still separated. The mid-season invitational will have the top teams from each region competing, and there's the world championship at the end of the year which has multiple teams from each major region, but until then they won't meet.

No. The LCS aren't unified and Faker plays in the Korean League which is run by KeSPA.

It seems like they are because Riot is coordinating the different leagues. EU and NA are the two major leagues run by Riot, but LCK LPL and GPL are each run by their own organizations but recognized by Riot as "official" division one leagues. So teams in those leagues will be invited to the Worlds tournament at the end of the year.

Maplestreet is my favorite streamer cause he's really funny. Dyrus is good too when he's talking and not listening to lovely music, and Calitrlolz is fun to watch when he's playing cool top laners like Cho, Gragas, or Udyr.

I agree with everything you said except this. Insec usually went at least even against some of the best toplaners in the world at the time (although he did lose some high profile games to Flame pretty badly) but other than that he was a very good toplaner who was really good at using teleport and controlling minion waves. Yes he over-extended occasionally but I think that's really all part of learning top lane, which is arguably the weirdest and hardest competitive role to play. I think if he had stayed as a solo laner for another split or two he would have been very, very good.


looooooooooooooooool


He's the best western midlaner by a fair margin and is one of the few laners in any region that consistently outperforms their opponent regardless of matchup. He's a beast.

Who wouldn't lose to Flame, honestly?

I'd agree that Insec was a failure was a top laner because he went from being one of the top Korean junglers to being a replacement level top laner. When he went back to jungle he was severely out of practice and didn't seem to perform well at all until S4 Worlds.

For example by my line of reasoning Altec will be a failure as a support if his support play is gleeb or sheep level because he definitely was one of the better NA ADC talents before the swap.

CJ looking like they're bouncing back after IEM with the games vs KT. Ambition and Coco seemed much better and Coco actually played some new champions.

Who knows if it will stick though, they're such an inconsistent team.

It is probably worth noting that KT is Real Bad this year. Even though they still have some decent players, as a team they haven't shown anything so far.
