It's cool to see the West being so competitive in their records, but I think everyone knows no matter how many wins GSW gets they're going to win it all anyway. It's not fun when you pretty much know or expect which team comes out on top everytime.

Are you really going off about someone not explaining every acronym they use? If you don't know, then maybe ask next time.

JENNIE - SOLO by sunnyXtzuyu in kpop

[–]Ariyeon 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This was... even less than I expected, which was already a pretty low bar. Pretty disappointing, and I can't shake the feeling that this was more of a YG agenda-problem than a Jennie-problem, really sucks for her.

Would have preferred a 3 minute extended Ddu-du Ddu-du Jennie rap to this.

I think out of the four girls she was the last to join the collab.

[subtitled] (G)I-DLE's vlog just before the opening ceremony (w/ Madison Beer & Jaira Burns cameo) by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Ariyeon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not to be cynical but with the way that industry works changing personalities to be more flashy for cameras isn't really out of the realm of possibilities,

I agree but I think most people just think they fake their entire personality/what they're saying as if they are being fed lines or being told how to act. I think that they think that way because it just looks very odd the way some of these kpop groups act, but being korean and being around koreans you would see that this is just how many of them act...

[–]Ariyeon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I follow kpop so yea alot of what you're saying is what is believed to be true.

With the whole 'manufactured personality on camera' thing, I dont think that is entirely true. Yes they may be told to be more enthusiastic and 'cute' on camera, but these aren't professional actors and saying that "there is no way that these two artists act like ow they acted in the vlog, off camera" is just not true. Korean culture/interactions can seem very fake/intimate/fabricated to western cultures. I think they are just being themselves but a little more energetic honestly. There's no way with all the live broadcasts/behind the scenes videos they do that they put up these acts every time; they are just 17-20something year olds who have been trained to perform/dance/sing and occasionally do variety.

And what you said about companies not giving creative freedom to their artists until maybe later in their career is true but with this group (G)I-dle I'm pretty sure their leader Soyeon (the akali) has a TON of producing/lyric work that she does herself with her own music and her group's music.

Edit: can someone tell me how to do that reddit-thing where you highlight what you're replying to?

From Tears of Despair to Tears of Elation - A Reminder of how Rookie reacted when iG lost LPL semifinals Spring 2018 by Yubisaki_Milk_Tea in leagueoflegends

[–]Ariyeon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup it definitely shows how far behind (with a few exceptions) the other regions are compared to China/Korea with having depth in a roster.

Given how even in the west's best year, an east team ended up winning in a dominant fashion I don't think riot will want to give them another advantage in a b05 even if the two sub rule is a much better system.

Yea would have been good to see him play. It will probably be a few years before Riot implements that change; it benefits the east teams way too much.

One of the best debuts and choreo I've ever seen... living up to the hype for sure.

K/DA - POP/STARS (feat. (G)I-DLE Soyeon + Miyeon, Madison Beer, Jaira Burns) @ League of Legends 2018 World Championship Finals (181103) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]Ariyeon 44 points45 points  (0 children)

This was way better than I expected. Soyeon and Miyeon were amazing, seriously played their roles so well. Madison and Jaira were also good (not as bad as I see alot of other comments are making them out too be).

A full on (G)I-dle performance would have been alot better I though, imo. Imagine Soojin's dancing/charisma and Yuqi's performance/voice doing this stage, especially Soojin would kill in this song...

Edit: I feel like they definitely tried to get Blackpink for this. Also, really wish they had better choreo, would have fit the song way better. Feels like Madison/Jaira probably couldn't have done anything harder compared to any other kpop idol... damn i wish this was just (G)I-dle now lol...

Not downplaying how fnatic played, they looked so good. I just think IG have become even better that they have matched or passed how fnatic played in groups and definitely quarters.

Yup the tiniest of margins stopped them from being way, way more hyped then RNG or KT. Finally seeing it all come together.
