if you actually think that about Rookie you either legitimately don't ever watch the LPL or you're making a really dumb bad faith argument

Ya rookie is still a beast, I also don't think Imp is that bad either. The money is probably good but you can get good money even in KR/NA now. I think they just legitimately like China.

Also do you guys think ROX or KDM gonna win IEM? They both finally got some wins this week. I remember KT Bullets winning IEM in season4 when they were one of the worst teams in OGN.

Mickey is really good laner so it will be interesting to see him vs the other mids in this tournament. Some very good mids in this tournament like Perkz/Febiven/Exileh/Maple/Mickey/Kira. Edge is decent for KDM but not sure about the HongKong midlaner.

Gear is decent, it's kinda hard to judge him against international competition though. He's certainly no Maple.

This is the norm for pretty much every nonstudio LoL match because DDoS Ghosting all that jazz.

Casting a vod is actually good regardless and produces perfectly fine content anyway.

He's not banned from anything. Riot unofficially refuses to hire him and so he decided to move on to casting a game that isn't owned by a company with a grudge against him instead of trying to get hired by third parties that Riot is trying to freeze out.

Apparently Liquid are doing trying outs for all their spots and there might be a possibility of Link to ad Piglet to mid. The Owner Liquid said that Goldenglue is probably most definitely out because he is underperforming so much and he got playtime over Link because he was way better statistically in scrims.

Ya Monte jumped over to Overwatch and has been treated pretty well by Blizzard, so I highly doubt he would even consider casting league ever again for any events.

A lot more people watch league, but Blizzard seems pretty committed to fostering their competitive community by pulling crazy moves like not treating their players and hosts like dog-poo poo.

HKE could have definitely beat H2K imo they had better teamfighting but Orianna missed a huge ult in the red buff fight. She had dcap/morello/void powerspike and needed to land that ult. Also other than the last fight she only hit the tanks with her ults in teamfight. Not impressed with Gear because he could have carried with all the farm he had.

One thing I don't understand is that HKE decided to ban a bunch of supports and pick Malz. But they left up Kench up. Do they not know that Kench is suppose to counter Malz? Like even a bronze level player knows this.

Didn't they say he was British? The UK hasn't been relevant to LoL since like five years ago when snoopeh mattered.

Unless you count their immigration laws loving up EULCS that one time it was in London.

That's probably because it's not MSI, but I don't see a stream on the ESL channel where they're posting VODs.

I think it's time to dismiss this myth of low kill count = two highly skilled teams playing very well. This is at least the second game in the last couple of weeks where the losing team doesn't give up kills but just slowly dies without ever fighting back. It's not an effective strategy to get a game where never give up a kill because you /ff in all but name as soon as you're behind.

Well there aren't any NA or good kr teams so most people from that region not watching. There is a reason why Garen stream has many viewers because they have the best TW team there.

Trick made a huge mistake which basically almost aced entire g2. No reason to flash q onto Varus when they got his flash.

Its not Pulse. Pulse lives in Australia now and casts LPL's english broadcast. The current commentators are Vedius who works for Riot as color and Munchy or something who is the play by play guy.
