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.
It actually looks like Riot HQ gave all the resources for Riot OCE to solve this fairly but OCE just ignored them and did the investigation on themselves internally so ???

I can see LoL dying by their own hands. Didn't something similar happen with Blizzard/Starcraft 2 in Korea making it a lot less popular than it should have been?

I'm fairly certain it was less blizzard fuckery than it was bad balance for almost the entire lifetime of the game

And then they hosed up the western scene by performing blizzard fuckery

Also because the Koreans squeezed all the foreigners out, and then the KeSPA Koreans dominated those guys, except what they actually all wanted to do was play more Brood War and now it''s back to that :v:

Going 0-6 in the promotion tournament is about all that needs to be said about that roster. Jesus.

not a single series won and games won all split can be counted on one hand...

if the lineup survives at all it'll be interesting to see if they can even place for promotion next split tbh, I'm guessing barely if at all

I'm assuming Origen fell because they didn't want to pay their players or something. All their talented dudes left.

losing their bot lane was definitely the beginning of the end but whatever player evaluation or planning process lead to them signing a random lspl mid laner from a very bad team was also a problem

If North Korea tries to start some poo poo, Samsung will just produce a fleet of drone tanks and aircraft and have the KeSPA organizations pilot them and single-handedly win the Second Korean War.

If this takes place during Worlds the Korean teams likely wont have time to attend though. The west might be able to score another win because the relevant region isn't going.

I would say Piratechnics isn't the worst caster currently in League but he's certainly down there. I like Vedius though.

Vedius's analysis off sometimes like he often says wrong things about matchups. Like on time he was saying Leblanc should beat Kassadin in lane. Like no that doesn't happen unless Kassadin tries to cs every minion he has more pressure and lvl6 can outright kill her if she wastes e or w. Pre 6 Kass is super safe with tp and his q so he doesn't fall behind too much either.

So another split of challenger teams qualifying in EU and failing in NA. There is always one challenger team that makes it to playoffs in EU LCS. I think misfits could do well if Pridestalker is old enough to play in LCS.
