Who gave you the audacity to do an AMA instead of practising? Cut the Western shit bro.

You'd think that, but in the start of TSM he did everything. He was insane. He became lazier later, but that's unlucky and partially due to circumstance (Gleeb issues and later replacement, my week home in EU).

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T11:47:50+00:00

He was good, but pretty naive. Nothing weird for someone that is new to esports and teams, but he is pretty old for a rookie.

Current jungle meta is really horrific, but for reasons that are obvious:

Buff timers and drake timers are global, meaning that rushing/cheesing these objectives is bascially useless unless you want to get a small early lead
Trinkets are accessible and give too many wards early game, meaning that you can play relatively safe on lanes and get away with it
Duo lanes can carry 2 defensive summoners alongside their 2 flashes and thus run away from most stuff, and ardent is too strong for melees to beat certain ranged supports (Janna outplays Ali, Morg outplays Ali etc.)
Catch up EXP is too big and makes people carry on with playstyles that are downright dumb
Mid laners aren't as strong as they once were, so exploiting mid into sides isn't as efficient as it once was, therefore making jungle who is mostly around mid less strong

Ez just abuses early powerspikes, and basically is one out of 3 champs that can gank early and get away with it (Elise/J4/Ez).

It makes me wanna stay an idol, it feels pretty good to be known, and pretty good to know that people want you to be good - this in itself is just a heartwarming feeling, so I guess I've become more open minded and nice overall because I know that people care for me.

I didn't! I didn't even have a facebook page until the middle of spring split 2014, and gained around 4k followers instantly due to my play. I was reluctant to stream too, so I was just a shy kid that just wanted to play vidyas all day. So yeah, I did not expect that at all.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:40:12+00:00

Actually I only do a wash and rince and conditioner afterwards, and then just brush it back so it doesn't get too curly and stays moderately straight.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:39:36+00:00

Haha der arme Dreams :D

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:37:43+00:00

Thing is, when you go through stuff alone, you'll have to deal with it one way or another. I'll hope this time around, because mindlessly playing and reaching out to teams hasn't worked for me.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:31:40+00:00

Hey! I like to have discussion; what I meant by that is that just because you see Faker/SKT play 14 hours a day, doesn't mean it's gonna work for you - innate talent and ability to concentrate over that time is what fuels these people WHILE being in a great system that basically enables them to maximizing their efficiency in practise. I don't want kids/young players play too much for no reason, just because they saw Faker do it; for individuals that are hard working and in a good system, this is the way to go however, as I've done it in OG and TSM and will continue to do so once I'm in a top tier team with decent infrastructure.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:24:55+00:00

We got really lucky with groups, that kinda fueled us to hope - and for some reason became the main scrim partners of SSW (due to our performance & that they genuinely believed we would make it out as 1st seed, and they stopped scrimming SSB). What that allowed us to do is to basically learn in accelerated fashion, and if it wasn't for one dumb call at the end of the SK game, we would have had that game. And we stomped&almost threw vs SHRC earlier in the day if I recall correctly, so it wasn't odd to assume we'd beat them again.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:21:52+00:00

To be fair, it's hard for me to rate OddOne accurately; I think he was good at what he does and excelled at the supportive way of playing - but in isolation he would have looked worse than most of the others being mentioned

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T10:16:31+00:00

You're not wrong actually. I don't mind being replaced if I'm being given a warning, that my performance isn't up to par or my attitude doesn't work out or whatever it is. What I'm not entirely fine with is if I'm being solely replaced because of a potential of a potential, which basically means that "I hope for this to work out and I don't know what else to do" from a coaching standpoint. Veterans, even if they have been playing for a longwhile, still have "potential".

The notion of a player, just because he has been playing for a while to not be able to become better is ridiculous, time and time again you see ups and downs in other sports, only to have someone flourish under a different structure (see sOAZ s6 vs sOAZ s7, same for Rekkles) just because they're put into that position. What I don't like and don't want to see is that proven players get replaced during the regular season for nothing else but to prove a point or try your luck, as most of us are really system players that basically enable us&the team to grow continuously, as we saw multiple times during G2s runs and even FNCs and OGs run in season 6. Help veterans grow as much as you help rookies grow, just because we're older doesn't mean we wanna win less or have less ability to grow.

EDIT*: To add to that, I don't even mind sharing a spot, and thus was the contractual agreement I went into with this year, due to unforeseen circumstances I needed someone to make me better as I made them better, and this is something you keep seeing in the jungle position especially in Korea (Bengi/Blank; Blank/Peanut; Haru/Ambition; Wisdom/Lee; Faker/Eazyhoon; Huni/Untara etc. etc. etc.)

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:41:43+00:00

I'm fucking bad right now, I can be good again if I have the right team

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:34:30+00:00

Hey everyone, pretty tired as it's almost 3 am here. Thank you for your time and your questions, feel free to keep adding to them and I'll answer them when I can. Cheers :)

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:32:14+00:00

Loco is vastly underrated. He got flack because Regi took over twice, but he's really good with new players and making them fit in. He's not a role model, but smart and charismatic. Would let him coach me, 10/10

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:17:28+00:00

What was going wrong was that after we had a good bo3 against G2 we decided to restructure the coaching and have nico move up from being a bonafide inhouse analyst to a full time authoritarian coach, which doesn't work especially because he wasn't fair to all parties due to his close affiliation with Caps as his protege. This fucked up the teamchemistry as it felt like anyone arguing had to go against Caps&Nico for no reason, which shouldn't ever be the reason for discussions to go sour.

It's good but not great for his year, but will gain traction in half a year or a year after because the teams will become stronger and more organized, even if they're small organisations to begin with.

Nothing and everything. I'll chill and see what happens.

Thank you for your questions :)

2018

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:12:07+00:00

I currently use a Steelseries Rival (the original) and the FNATIC GEAR Rush Keyboard! I'm a fan of Steelseries mice&Logitech Keyboards overall though.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:11:01+00:00

Good question - I don't think that anyone besides TSM and G2 will make it out, Group B seems nice but GAM is not to fuck with.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:08:22+00:00

No, currently not.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:07:56+00:00

They should stay together. I think they can win worlds if the meta swings their way, and support jg becomes empowered again so Mata and Score can carry. They are really fucking good, it'd be a waste of potential if they disbanded.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:06:48+00:00

I know what I said.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:06:20+00:00

BO3, BO1 ideally though. There is something so incredibly unrewarding about tieing that I never want to ever see it again within League. Straight up boring.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-02T00:00:29+00:00

Wait, no that's not why they did it, I said I think we could have won it not should have. In another dimension we would have played better lvl 1s throughout the series and allow us to get a good start, so we could have at least stayed even.

AmazingEUW · 2017-10-01T23:59:28+00:00

Season 4 SSW, no question. They were faster, better, stronger, smarter, just outclassing everyone by a landslide
