Another season of G2 dogwalking the LEC and then getting rinsed at internationals

Honestly they should change the name back to EULCS

G2 doesn't have poo poo on Mad Lions when it comes to winning the home league and then being an utter joke against everyone else.

I feel like it's traditional at this point for the first week of every region to be a tech nightmare.

E: Ice walking up to the drake pit alone right after it's already gone down and you know the enemy team is there is borderline reportable.

whoopsie i overslept a bit

support ashe is still such a funny anomaly to me: it's become an SR staple after being imported from ARAM, and now it's literally impossible to play in ARAM because she's got one of the only fully new versions of an ability on the map (re: W has a base 18s CD at all ranks)

the stream ui seems kinda unfinished in general. in actual game the scoreboard does show grub stacks but for some reason it doesnt here

they expanded the scope for costreaming this season for the LEC, so that sounds about right for the LEC going forwards

that's a massive loving viewerbase though holy crow

Turns out in a meta of hyper aggro junglers, Sejuani is not a good pick. Also man this SK roster looks drat impressive given this game has been shockingly even in raw gold terms.

sadly the LCKCL doesn't have an official english language stream this year, but caedrel is covering it if you're curious about the games

it's extremely loving funny whenever they hit the pregame pick screen and it's 9 korean dudes with standard korean hairstyles and then rekkles in the corner with his frosted tips fauxhawk

also, as i was musing, the LEC not only broke viewership records but utterly smashed them; 741k peak for a week 1 game on a monday, +59% peak, +37% average

for comparison, ibai alone had more viewers than the LCS summer finals

a hot rear end reminder that tomorrow (january 17) is the first day of LCK. you can check out the schedule right here

tomorrow's a real land of contrasts with nongshim vs. a revamped (?) DRX, followed immediately by T1 vs. GENG, so make sure to check out the VODs if you're not up that late

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
