Peanut wouldn't work on SKT, people hate on Bengi and Blank but that's the only style of jungler they should ever use.

Duke being unable to communicate with his team and losing so much map awareness now that he's on a really good team is weird as heck tho

Shame to see the Tigers completely disintegrate after such a great run. Maybe someone'll bring over Peanut and let him have a relaxing NA vacation for a few years while he earns a gazillion dollars in streaming money.

Peanut is actually a really good streamer, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to NA or LPL and make a gazillion dollars streaming and playing for a marginal team.

People hating on Bengi are dumb, but Blank legit sucks and somebody who does the job better wouldn't go amiss.

Blank was ok when Bengi was out with wrist trouble or w/e but Bengi is clearly a tier above.

didn't see this posted anywhere on the last two pages, but what do you guys think about this? pretty strange that echofox would want to poach anyone since they already have keith and froggen, the two best carry players of all time

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
TL;DR Riot made a agreement that only Echo Fox signed (The only team not to sign into Regi's list of demands) and if teams don't sign this agreement before the season starts, all teams forfeit their spots and all players become free agents and Riot fills in the teams the way they feel like it.

Is that right?

"Per a source, Riot told team owners that it would ensure the right of Echo Fox—the only team that didn’t challenge Riot on the upcoming changes in the leaked November letter—to poach from any other team, should those other teams not sign the new agreement.

Update (11:17am PST): Another source has come forward claiming that Echo Fox has already attempted to poach at least one player contracted to another team. This poaching attempt was apparently done with Riot’s “encouragement.” This player’s team has in turn gone to Riot and asked them to enforce LCS’ poaching rules. We have contacted Riot further for more clarification on the matter."

i kinda have my doubts that riot's esports department is quite stupid enough to do this poo poo beyond vague threats but on the other hand i have no doubt that echo fox's management are stupid enough to try to poach players on the basis of said vague threats lol

also quoting single individual anonymous sources even if they confirm your priors is really bad journalism, so par for the course e-sports but whatever :shrug:

lol. why would you conclude from what i wrote that riot calculates being bad at xyz? they just don't care. it's not a decision, it's an oversight that has absolutely no impact on them.

"riot is bad at business" is nonsense. "riot's business is not what i want it to be" is the accurate statement.

I wonder how much money Regi actually has to throw around these days. TSM is a big brand, but the sheer amount of liquidity some of these new orgs have must be scaring the pants off of him.
