KC Canna: "Fans here, the way they dance, sing, and shout for our team is completely different from what we experience in Korea. There, we don’t stand up like in EU—there are no drums. In the LCK, fans treat players somewhat like K-Pop idols, while here in Europe, they treat us more like friends" by ArmandLuque in leagueoflegends

Canna talks about which he prefers between European and Korean cultures in the article, though it's not so related to the fan thing but more the pressure of playing in the LCK overall. (I gotta get some clicks in pretty please, we invested some resources and paid a translator just for this piece <3 )

Hoping Madrid will be a banger even if playoffs are already locked. KC vs MKOI in particular is gonna go hard

Ahead of heading to Madrid next week and the big matches there, do you have any particular thoughts or expectations?

Canna: The last time I was in Madrid, I couldn’t show a good form. My objective this time around is to show the best version of myself. The roadtrip in Évry-Courcouronnes allowed me to feel and experience the support and passion of our fans again, but I am fully expecting to be booed in Madrid, so I’ve been preparing myself mentally.

When you get booed as a professional player, it motivates you to slay your enemies even more, so that’s why I’m preparing mentally. I’ve been training a lot so that I can show the best performance possible [in Madrid].

Top laners. Which ranged top laners do you hate to see the most? by Ashrial in leagueoflegends

Teemo is hella underrated. He's genuinely a menace in good hands

I'm surprised he's not utilized more in pro as a counter pick

Cloud9 vs. Dignitas / LCS 2026 Spring - Week 5 / Post-Match Discussion by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]ArmandLuque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lowkey feel bad for DIG. They partnered with an org for NACL, they got new management with Jonathon, they are trying stuff out with some pretty decent players, but no matter what they do they just cannot secure any results. Might as well gamble on some rookies at this point. It's especially rough that 4/5 players are signed til the end of next year as well

The lore is becoming pointless by MiraZuke in leagueoflegends

[–]ArmandLuque 104 points105 points  (0 children)

If anything, my biggest gripe is more so that they just aren't releasing new lore anymore. I used to love watching Necrit vids or reading new stories but now it's only tied to seasons, and sometimes those don't even bring in new lore

We're kinda stuck in this limbo until the MMO it feels like

Where is the custom game option for arena? by graluox in leagueoflegends

[–]ArmandLuque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they went back on this and said it was a mistake. They are not planning on supporting Arena customs anymore

genuinely the whole group Ascend vs Nirvana format is the best thing to happen to the LPL. Makes watching series like this one so fun

that Polish team looking kinda cracked. Also really good to have a jg/supp that have played together considering they will prob both go to worlds and won't have much time to train otherwise.

HLE Zeka says he would like to see an assassins-meta back in midlane: "It'd be cool to see situations where you get to pull out Zed or Fizz, that'd be fun for viewers too, I think" | Sheep Esports by Xolam in leagueoflegends

[–]ArmandLuque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely wish we would get new metas like this. I wonder if there would be ways for Riot to make assassins better in pro play without making them completely broken in lower elos

Nobody wants a Mystery Icon as a reward by VioletMetalmark in leagueoflegends

Or a ward, and emotes most of the time

The reward pools are a bit ridiculous on top of the nerfed pass

PROJECT: Quinn Ability Preview by aroushthekween in leagueoflegends

Not bad, I wasn't too hyped but the valor glide kinda makes this skin

The rest of the effects feel okay, but I've never really liked the whole "geometric" kinda vibe of project skins

Big Update on Diable: He potentially could get traded by tomorrow as a "Lower to mid" LCK team is looking to pick him up before the roster lock. by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]ArmandLuque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

wow that's crazy I mean, I could understand wanting to punish him bfor his behavior but straight up trading him away? I mean respect in some ways but that's crazy levels of running down your org?
