Just look at Unicorns of Love's promos from last season. Except UoL's crazy poo poo a) worked and b) was something they could justify. Like their famous Poppy pick - they had tested that and empirically knew it was a good counterpick.

They could just ask him his thoughts on how Senate Bill 148-B will influence the chances of CLG at worlds or something and he could talk for like 7 hours straight. IM will probably still lose most of their games but I think they've upped their caliber at least a little. Chobra was talking about how both Winners and Anarchy had basically no coach or support staff and they were doing the P/B all by themselves, which explains why CVmax was going such ridiculous picks too. The only reason his stuff worked vs Winners is because they were crap too. Everyone but GankZero (who still managed to look not bad) will probably fade into the mists of obscurity again. Now that Anarchy is in though they'll probably get a support staff and a sponsor, maybe a small one. They'll probably still get dogpiled but the OGN experience will make them better for it, That, or the players might end up getting picked up by better teams (or China) like with Prime or Xenics.

I like the new accounts but suspect that both may be unreliable narrators. Elementz by his own account sounds like he was drunk for most of his professional career (which makes a lot of sense in retrospect) and Seraph probably couldn't understand any of his teammates flaming him.

Legendary had some atrocious early game but Yusui and Solo keep on dying/suiciding. Like Bischu just keeps on killing Yusui. They're 9k gold down but they keep killing him whenever he does something like walk two Teemos form his turret. AHAHAHAHAHAHA LEGENDARY WON A TEAM FIGHT. Almost 10k down. Bischu can't seem to lane well but he's really holding his own in duels/team fights. C9T finally closing that game out because Bischu decided to get caught.

Keven. Just. Keven posted:What potential do they have exactly. If double could be tamed and coached on decision making he'd probably be able to win against Turtle/Sneaky. If Link had been given proper support from the higher ups to be the captain, to actually lead, and been pushed to start talking more, CLG would be doing much better. If Xsmithy was taught to shotcall by his coaches, he could probably be what Link had wanted. Even now, if Pobelter is taught the non-mechanics part of the game he'd probably end up a MUCH better player than before, but I don't see the CLG higher ups actually doing anything.

China continues to be weird Royal must have really wanted to blow the team up after getting relegated. Meanwhile: Group B of the Korean Qualifiers at the usual Riot stream. Samsung vs Xenics vs Prime - if Samsung doesn't get back in it would be a massive throw

Also, for those of you that weren't paying attention, Royal bought the Vici Gaming Potential (Vici's sister team) spot, rebranding it to Royal Never Give Up (SHRC remains in the LSPL). Vici Gaming Potential then bought the Gamtee spot, rebranding to Unlimited Potential. I'm not sure what happens to circuit points in cases like these.

Game 1-3 were close, 4-5 were stomps for misfits Once they started playing aggressive junglers in the last 2 games and didn't allow the FFG top/jungle to get away with stuff it really turned around. And RF was unstoppable on Irelia

It's LPL , so it's actually not run by Riot proper, but by their parent company, Tencent, which is probably okay with plenty of shady stuff because it's Chinese League and is probably half about money laundering anyways.

I think Riot rules do apply? VG had to sell their second team because of the 1 team per owner rule, and I'm guessing some of the complicated player swapping is to work around player retention rules. Not clear on the details but probably the finished rosters still have 3/5 players who were previously on King/Royal.
