Im just saying people literally made fun of me itt for saying tsm getting a free 3 game ban against AS was significant and here he is against the 2nd place at last worlds and one of the expected contenders for this worlds absolutely carrying.

CLG was playing like poo poo and got loving stomped and they used the bootcamp to the best that they could. Just because Sol would have been up during the NA playoffs does not mean CLG would have even won that game.

I hope this shuts up huhi haters. This guy carried in playoffs had most mvps(for clg) in regular split and playoffs.

He gets solo killed by Jensen or Bjergsen sometimes but he still is a monster in teamfights and great teamplayer.

It really was, because despite Odo winning all early game, Ekko just scaled hard enough that Odo couldn't do anything about his split-pushing. SSG got so many objectives because Ekko and Nidalee are so broken they can take objectives all game on their own (Nidalee can solo Drake and Ekko can split-push forever with his ult)

It's not like this is the first game where this is discovered. The picks/bans were terrible but the overall strategy was just as bad. SSG is on a different level than H2K and it shows because even after the first blood pretty much every lane was behind in CS.

But let's ignore all of this and put it on a single pick though v:shobon:v

MLB is trying really hard to stop people from even posting gifs on twitter, so if they're partnering with them for league content enjoy all of the takedown requests on youtube videos from here on out.

MLB has one of the best online presences of the major sports and has had since 1998 and even more when they launched the streaming mlb.tv service. Their policy has always been focused on the team and network focused for online stuff, which means if somebody is doing take downs for gifs on twitter it's a network or team. (Some teams have a much better online presence than others like the Mariners and Orioles over a team like the Yankees or Marlins, but all online content is basically on a per team basis)

But whatever.

MLB has always said they want to continue reaching out to the younger audience


Deadspin and a bunch of GIF twitter accounts got blocked in 2015 but it wasn't because of the MLB:

https://twitter.com/BreakingNews/status/653755057385639936



If the 2016 MLB season was any indicator in regards to loving GIFS ON TWITTER then there literally isn't anything to freak out about holy loving poo poo

I also brought up that they've had a great online presence since 1998 because they've gotten a lot of good will from it. While it's still 2016 and you are incapable of watching NFL games without a subscription they've been doing it since the early 2000's and at a cheap as gently caress price. Out of all the big sports the NBA/NHL have better online presences but the MLB is still up there in how it handles the online scope of it's sport. Them coming into league is a very very very good thing because their infrastructure and streaming capabilities are loving absurd and would do nothing but good things for League

I'd say something about Riot being dumb if they made a deal that put their twitch streaming at risk but it is the e-sports side of Riot we are talking about and boy do they make some really dumb decisions.



If they really are moving towards MLB AM then they probably want to launch their own streaming services so they don't have to deal with Twitch. MLB AM already has the technology available for picture in picture or to select an audio track without bothering the source video along with a long list of features that Riot could use for their streams. (Like during worlds where there was different streams going on for player experience/new player experience and the regular old stream this could all have been handled with a setting within the html5 player that MLB.tv uses).

They could pull a GSL and offer a low quality / one stream and audio for their twitch stream while offering 4k / bunch of options on their own service.

Yeah releasing them doesn't suddenly fix all of the issue or waste of time or anything that actually happen. Like it's good on the players to seek opportunity elsewhere but this shouldn't be the desired outcome.



The desired outcome is getting rid of the very obvious corruption in Riot OCE and to make sure practices are put in place to stop this entire ordeal from happening again.
