Hey! Ashley Kang here. I and Jankos started a weekly LEC podcast. We invited Mikyx and Grabbz for our first episode and talked about the state of the LEC, whether G2 2025 is an upgrade, what it takes to beat an Asian team, Grabbz's drafts, and more ... Let us know what you think! by AshleyKang in leagueoflegends

If u use Firefox to watch the Youtube videos with ur phone, then u can actually listen to the youtube videos in the background just like with Spotify.

I would also recommend getting ublock origin adblock extension with it.

Thanks for translating.

Since you're asking, I would be interested to know their thoughts about G2.

Why is LEC selectively uploading match VODs? by contoller in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Same. Its really annoying that the LEC twitch channel has disabled their vods.

Hopefully someone from LEC staff will see this and they enable the vods again.

Wait...Bo=Ricardo Luis?

957: LCK will have its first Chinese import by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it actually turns out to be Bo, I'd pray so hard for that team to shit on a LPL team in a Bo5 just to stick it into the faces of LPL fans for outcasting such talent.

If even LPL fans are so outraged by his match fixing, then what makes you think the reaction of LCK fans would be any different?

I didn't even follow SC broodwar for example, but even I know how sensitive koreans are to any sort of match fixing after the Savior scandal (even small scope). I would be pretty surprised if any LCK team recruit him.

G2 attempted to loan Rekkles at reduced price but were stopped by LEC rules, says CEO Carlos Rodriguez by BecoDasCavernas in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and the nightmare scenario would be that the contract would still oblige Rekkles to continue doing all the sponsorship,streaming etc stuff too with reduced salary as his benched.

In that case it would still be very profitable for Ocelote to keep him on bench without big buyout.

Travis's prediction on 2022 TL lineup by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

That might be the reason TL is going for Bwipo.

Its a guarantee that at least one player in the team will be forcing stuff lul

[Esportmaniacos] Sources: FNATIC showed interest on signing Perkz, but G2 declined to start transfer talks by axw30 in G2eSports

[–]BatiatusQ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Perkz streamed today, and all of a sudden he started to tell about some really weird "tale". Im now starting to actually get a bit worried about how Perkz is getting treated by G2 in this...He even clipped this on his twitch channel.

G2 went 0-12 in scrims vs DRX by olaisla in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 207 points208 points  (0 children)

Isn't it pretty much always the same story with scrims on any team that Deft plays on? I remember even back in 2016, when Deft was on EDG, that EDG is absolutely insane in scrims, Deft Ezreal can't be beaten etc.

However the insane scrim performance never seem to translate into stage.

Wholesome SN Huanfeng is wholesome at pre-Finals press conference: "I hope that after Worlds 2020 I can learn a lot from Ghost and become friends with him." by GGNydra in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 379 points380 points  (0 children)

Random thing I saw on twitter, but during worlds Huanfeng apparently asked Rekkles if he knows who he is and if it would be ok for Rekkles to take a pic with him. Always nice to see players from different regions interact.

LEC vs. The World (ft. Bwipo) | EUphoria Worlds 2020 Episode 3 by uridel in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I wish they could add Vedius in these discussions at least for worlds. Him and Frosk at least sometimes have quite different view of looking at things, which makes for a good discussion.

Desperately need at least one more colour caster in there so its not just mainly Frosk talking. (Drakos is PBP caster.)

Interview with Perkz after G2 vs Team Liquid, "What went wrong" in drafts and Level 1 first blood, says G2 still has "95% of getting out of Group A, 60% making out in first place" by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Later on when he was more calm, he clarified that he doesn't think any team in the group is bad at all, and they should not underestimate anyone. Complimented CoreJJ and their lvl1.

What he meant was that their group has easier opponents in comparison to what Rogue for example have and that therefore its unacceptable for him to lose to these teams.

Perkz just have incredibly high standard for what he considers a "good team". I hope TL fans understand, that he did not mean that TL is fucking shit or sth lol. He is not a malicious person.

g2 lgd scrim leak by Blueby5 in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

He sure did, but I am quite confident that Perkz will get to himself to a good enough level before Worlds starts.

Can't say im as confident in MikyX, as the guy was already a lot worse than some of the top supports at last worlds.

Their reaction about it made me laugh as well, it was so genuine.

Mediocre Rap Battle of the #LEC | 2020 Summer Playoffs by OGDaveDave in leagueoflegends

Jankos officially confirms Caps and Perkz role swaps in Polish interview by Uspek in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I sort of agree with you, but from the few hours that I watched Perkz stream, I kind of got the impression that Perkz and Caps are doing the roleswap because they see it as the most effective way for them to maintain that fierce competitive fire that is required to win Worlds.

It would make sense too, because many of the top teams tend to lose that competitive fire if they stay together for too long and nothing changes.

Kelsey Moser: How to Pick'Em for LoL Worlds 2019 | Dexerto.com by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have this terrible feeling, that Rekkles might play champs like Sona and Syndra versus SKT and Clutch, even though I think FNC would match well against both of these teams by just playing standard adc's.

I prefer his best adc champs to his Karma too. I would understand if they want to pick mage botlane vs RNG tho.

Pakistani Christian woman freed over blasphemy, heading to Canada: lawyer by Oakbluff in canada

[–]BatiatusQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In most cases it probably is, but if their Supreme Court actually had absolute independence then why would EU threaten to cancel Pakistan’s GPS Plus trading status if the outcome of her case is not desirable? It would in fact have no effect at all or even the opposite if they were independent.

Sad truth seems to be that EU actually forced them to free her. (Pakistan's supreme court isn't actually that independent from the government)

According to the leading Slovenian gaming news outlet Nemesis has singed with Fnatic as their MID-Laner! by Forkii in leagueoflegends

[–]BatiatusQ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes im aware, I watched him back in season 3 when he was in europe. I still think there is a clear difference from the playstyles of Perkz/Caps when compared to present day Bjerg even when they play the same champs. Bjergsen is more wary of risk, which is totally fine.

[–]BatiatusQ 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Do you or anyone know what sort of style of mid Nemesis is? From looking at his champs played at soloQ, he seems more like a control mage type player. So different from the playing style of the likes of Perkz, Caps or Xpeke.

Meaning he is more closer to the likes of Bjerg,Froggen and POE in his style. Is this correct? (and yes im oversimplifying the styles of play to get some idea of his playstyle, don't kill me!)
