The LA Times wrote an article about Team Fusion, including parts about their loss

Best paragraph

quote:

The duo rented a 7,200-square-foot property in Santa Monica with two houses: one to work in, the other to house the team. By late October 2014, the team would destroy towers — and their opponents — on a mountaintop battlefield in "League of Legends."

Paragraph in how it looks in the article's font anyway.

And boy do they make it sound like a life destroying job. Specifically that Chunkyfresh was ignoring school at 15 to play video games and basically ignored his parents (according to the article)

I assume this was during Alex Penn's C9 days? Unless they were leaguepedia nerds I have no idea why one would want to do such a thing after he left C9

It was his Coast days actually. They were trying to sound extremely clever about the game so maybe they were just trying to get a foot in the door with a less prominent org. A lot of people would also show up at the studios to network including the rapidcasting dude, who I remember being ignored by pretty much everyone haha.

well you gotta think of the transportation needed for these large groups of players + staff and the fact that they just want to eat their lovely tacos and go play some fucken league of legends hell yea

Its not like tally has public transportation that a bunch of esports people are going to use. they should go to Los Compadres though if they wanted tacos

Edit: All the teams got LAN accounts instead of NA accounts. I assume Faker is already #1 of LAN ladder.

I think it's actually the players food buffet at the venue. I was in there while Fnatic was eating today.

This town is a ghost town right now. With all the college kids out of the area it's eerie. No one walking.

I'm really looking forward to this show kicking off!

I played with History Teacher in team builder a few days ago and he hosed up Ryze mid pretty bad.

That doesn't mean he can't be a good coach though.

CLG loving needs something completely different to everything they've been doing, so I'm up for dice rolls on anything.

The only thing CLG can do to get good is for HSGG to sell the org to someone who isn't an idiot manchild.
