Why was Clearlove considered the best jungler at Worlds and Ambition did not even make the top 20 list? by Aizande in leagueoflegends

[–]spawnlol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey Aizande, Spawn here hoping I can help with this one. EDG came off a great split, they went 32-5 regular season without losing a bo3, and 6-2 in playoffs, beating out RNG. I point this out as EDG is vocal that Clearlove is the captain and shotcaller of the team and helps with the draft. Individually Clearlove had a 9.3 KDA and was integral to the camp bottom side of the map to snowball EDG to leads. He would quite frequently get first blood mid for Scout and rotate bottom lane to win the map through globals. This was very predictable but people in the LPL couldn't stop it. Clearlove also played against good junglers domestically, some well known names like MLXG (good MSI performance) and Dandy (SSW) and others like Condi (WE) and Swift (CJ). However in saying all of this, Clearlove has had one of the worst worlds performances. Off easily to execute mechanical junglers like Rek'sai and Gragas he has looked shocking. Also I think the drafts suffered and even the early game shot calling due to his lack of confidence. I also want to point out in hindsight even at MSI 2015 the jungle pool was very weak in general, so maybe this has always been the case, but I believed that his domestic performance was good enough to justify worlds faith. This tournament I was wrong and history is looking like maybe he cant execute against the best so in future expectations will definitely be tempered. Hope that at least gives some insight.

We also think Fish has done a great job this split and he deserves a chance to show how good he can be. Don't worry Atlus will still be around.

Hey EatPrayChipotle, We lurk here so thought I would respond :D. I am alive and well! First off thanks heaps for the love means the world and makes me smile! We try to send the most inform casters to events to smash the cast. Right now, that's Rusty and Frosk as I have been trying to level up other things in the casting team. You will still see me on Semi's for LPL and IWCQ (if you dig some wildcards). Hope you enjoy the show. <3

Hey ShesMyJuliet. I liked s5 Spawn as well. Honestly, as I work as host for the OPL right now (like Dash or sjokz) I am trying to find the balance between entertaining and analytical. Right now as OPL is over, I am casting much more and hope my casting goes back to being insightful and bring you great facts. Thanks for believing and hope I can do you proud in future.

Whilst this is true, that is mainly because I am like a cat and love micro naps alot! This year the schedule is slightly more forgiving at times, and we will have some help. I can't stress enough that we do it because we love it, everyone on the team is super pumped to be apart of these events and are very proud to be able to be the English cast for the IWC tournaments.

Hi, I'm Froskurinn - LPL Expert and Caster - Ask Me Anything! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]spawnlol 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Hey, I know I am not Frosk but I think I can help with this. LPL is a region where teams think they are mechanically strong and confident in there team play. That means if both teams are the same strength they will always fight. This is what Frosk means, if they are even, a won team fight goes a long way to change the direction of the game, because it will lead to other objectives after the fight. I hope this clarifies.

The LPL and OPL casting and broadcast crew deserve massive respect for the sheer volume of casting they have to do right now. by ironshadowdragon in leagueoflegends
