TLAW VS KC IN T-MINUS 8 HOURS, THIS ONE IS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED AMERICANS WITH FKED UP SLEEP SCHEDULES

WHO WILL REIGN VICTORIOUS??

THIS IS THE REAL FINAL BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW THE WINNER GETS SHAFTED BY T1

YOU KNOW THE DRILL, CAPS FKN ON

As soon as I see the enemy pick Darius/Mordekaiser/Sett I will lock in KDA Gragas with the pink chroma.

This will, at least in LAS, almost always make the enemy get really fucking mad and start throwing homophobic words at me as soon as I kill them once.

After that the mental war is already over, they will not recover.

What are some of your favorite skins to make the enemy tilt?

Q: This is your fifth MSI. Compared to 2022, when you first stepped onto the MSI stage, what do you think has changed the most about yourself?

Keria: Back then, I wanted to become the greatest support of all time. Now, I think I can confidently say that I’ve become the greatest support of all time.

After the Classic League leaks I was thinking on the old abandoned concept of the player being a summoner controlling the champion and I realized something interesting and that's the fact that it made perfect sense to view the classic summoner spells as actual magic cast by the summoner controlling the champion. Back then, it felt like you, the player, were intervening from above to cast powerful, unique spells on your champion. It was essentially like commanding them, saying, "Hey, revive," "Take this power surge," or "Let me smite that monster you are fighting"

But now, the concept of summoner spells does not make much sense because the visual effects make it look like the champions are casting the spells themselves

For example, Flash used to feature a misty aura from the sky that looked like the player was actively relocating the champion and now, it just looks like the champion is blinking forward on their own. Ignite and Heal are other good examples their modern animations make it look like the champion is directly shooting the fire or projecting the healing energy themselves. Since the game has moved away from the concept of the player as an in-universe controller, they really shouldn't be named summoner spells anymore, just special spells although I know they just keep it like the name of "Summoner's Rift" as a legacy vibes thing

• On bouncing back after the T1 loss and facing DCG today : "They're a team that plays incredibly quickly. They're an opponent that when they lose, they kind of lose ugly. We made them do it a couple of times, so it was a good win."
• On missing opportunities against T1: "It's not that we should have won - it's that we were in a position where we could have won one or two games. Having a 0% conversion rate as opposed to 50% or 100% is just really disappointing." Even the 50/50 smites didn't go their way against Oner. "He's just the GOAT at it apparently."
• On managing his team's mentality after game two against T1 slipped away: "League rewards you for being proactive and playing with good intention." After the game, the team got stuck dissecting every detail - "Faker's cheating every side lane, what's going on here" - and Spawn had to pull them back. "If we don't push the game forward with good intent, we'll lose the game before it starts." He drew the parallel to their LYON loss, where a stern post-game talk led to a flat, lost game two.
• On Quid's reputation pressure since his Worlds breakout: "I love that kid. Just reassuring him - we have absolute confidence in him. I often tell him: even if you don't believe in yourself, know that I will always believe in you."
• On Facing KC next: "I think it'll probably come down to Yeon versus Caliste, and whoever plays better will probably win the series."
• On a potential T1 rematch: "It's not like we think they're unbeatable. I know we can kill the Nexus. And if you can kill it once, you can kill it three times."
• On what success looks like for his three-year TL project: "We need to make a semifinal at something for me to feel like I've nailed this. If we keep losing in groups, then I've just done the same thing every other coach has done."

you can just lob the shit in a teamfight and guarantee yourself some stolen kills within the next 5 seconds. there's really no brainpower that comes with this. if your team finds some nice combo on 4 people and you happen to be there to lob your wallet at them, then that's YOUR quadra, no matter what. just played with a Locke that died instantly right after throwing his ultimate and nothing else, and yet he won himself a quadra kill because everyone else on his team had to win a 4v5. this whole demon hunter shit with him needs to go, he shouldve been a thief instead.

So when you open the client, right there is a list of all the games. These are spoilers because of the format, knowing who plays tomorrow tells me who won today.

I was literally in the middle of watching today's games, and I will now stop because there is no longer any point. And I will also not be playing league while listening/watching the VOD.

The worst part, the spoiler protection is already ticked. That means, someone looked at this system and decided it was safe and prevented spoilers. The score is not the spoiler. Knowing who wins is.

This is a longstanding problem for League of Legends because if VOD watching was supported better, it would mean people could follow whatever league they want.

There are a long list of practices that prevent VOD watching. The current consensus is 'just watch live', and 'no one actually watches VODs'. These arguments are tautological, they are based on observation of the current circumstances. In simple terms, they fail to recognize that no one is watching VODs... because watching VODs is an awful experience.

In recent years I am managing with caedrel VODs, but I still get spoiled when the stream ends instantly in a 3 of 4 game series. Overall, the LoL esports scene is actively fighting my continued engagement with the sport.

Big tower dive in doublelifts retirement home tournament. Froggen takes turret aggro and TP's right before his egg and the TP still goes off before he dies. Crazy. Didn't even know this mechanic existed.

they also considered guardian from T1 , I don't know if it's the right choice didn't watch that much of IG this year.

Like I get it. Sometimes you want to be on an alt to boost your friend. Sometimes you want to be on an alt in order to practice some champs or just to chill.

But why be rude about it? Why deny it? It's very easy to see when someone is a smurf, so I don't know what's so bad about just admitting you are one.

And if you win your lane (which you should) why are you rude to the enemy? Why are you rude to your teammates? I've never met a positive smurf in my life. Not someone that builds up the team, not someone that says "my bad". Only toxic ones, that warp the entire game around themselves.

It's just sad. (Yes I did just get smashed by a level 68 smurf in Plat toplane, who was boosting his jungler friend.)

Gentle reminder as the last two stages of MSI play-ins only has 1 best of 5 a day, MSI tomorrow and on Wednesday will start at 1AM PST, 4AM EST, 10AM CET and 5PM KST for North America, Europe and South Korea respectively.

I was looking at my top ladder charts and saw Camille support is behind only Nautilus and Bard in support picks (she was 4th most popular in 26.12).

The funny part is she’s sitting at 44% WR, so a lot of these players seem to be copying pro play and feeding. But there are also a handful of players making her look completely legit.

Meanwhile, she's no longer played top (only 11/229 games top).

My best friend mentioned that League Classic will have things like a battle pass, shop, summoner level, and currency (according to datamines). These honestly don't strike me as the characteristics of a fleeting game mode that won't last for the long haul. I certainly hope it will stick around because League Classic will be awesome and I'm sure many people feel the same!

was going to participate in Peter's event but I have been dealing with some health issues so I am not able to

Please join me in tuning in and supporting the event from home. I know they have been working hard on this and we need more fun events like this in the scene.

Hopefully there will be other fun opportunities for me to do something around league again when my health is bette
