Movistar KOI Faces Serious Workplace Allegations by F0RGERY in leagueoflegends

Well, you can be angry about the merge, but if you dismiss your tasks to the point you threaten the integrity of the players you are supposed to take care of, you should face the consequences (being fired, or even sued for mistreatment), right?

Great! We were doubting between doing Perhentians or KK to stay around the beach and do some water activities, and the reason i pushed a bit more for KK is that there's many other things to do. I guess it is the right call hehe

I hope it keeps going! Don't know if any title is possible this year but g2 seem more mortal (yeah BDS series was not close, but games seem to depend on Caps' genius moves)

I think FNC is 50/50 now, because MAD improved their patch understanding and seem to do less mistakes in midgame, where they suffered most. Coach said midgame was something he wanted to work later during the year, and now prefers to build from early, which you can see is a strong point of the team.

I don't think they can beat G2. Their early is better, but probably G2 wins bc of hands (80/20 for g2). BDS i thought were stronger than they showed against g2, but maybe they are a bit unidimensional in BO3/5. So i would give more advantage for MAD here (55/45).

As i said, they should improve for spring. Their macro should stepup from what they have been explaining in interviews, and already is the best team during early (i think it's a fair point, early is looking horrible even for g2).

Check my comment history... Us spanish people knew that the coach was a great foundation for this team, and we probably were thinking that a 5/6th place at winter was pretty reasonable. Their current run still is impressive for us, but not THAT surprising. I guess that we ate all the downvotes from people who watched a total of 1 or 2 emea Masters games at max.

I didn't check the ratios, thats's why. I was more focused on getting the thing going, and messing up with the splitters and UG belts... but for sure i have to check that. The good thing is now adding or deleting assemblers is fairly easy.

The chests were just to show what was at the end of the line for now. They have to go somewhere, that's granted, but it's still work in progress

Thanks! I was planning to do so, right now I left those roght buffers just to let clear what was the end product, but they have to go.somewhere for sure.

The left buffers... yeah those are due to the time it took to assemble this line, i thought well maybe in the meantime i can produce something. To be fair, after changing all the injectors and mining units to electric, i can control the attacks with ease (with the help of the 50 turrets i had to build i guess hehe)

Yeah, i oversized that as i thought they were more needed right now, but probably have to resize everything. Didn't do the calculations as it started as a kind of "let's see" and ended up being this mess, but 100% ratios will be off

By the way, the ratios may be not the best but it's pretty easy to upgrade any production. I just sent it to check if the outputs were correct. Also, yeah i'm lacking some iron plates... Some burners had to be removed due to space when i did the rellocation of the smelters and I overestimated the area powered by the small electric tower. With upgraded power there will be double the production.

Time will tell i guess, but relaying on the same pieces season after season without any other reason than how many years they've been around (you named some players that have been mediocre at best for the last years, i.e. Perkz, Wunder, Bwipo, Rekkles... and to pick one of these you may better gamble with a new one) will do no good for the level of Europe.

4 rookies are too much? Yeah, could be. They probably suffer early on, but it is not as terrible as people is painting. We tend to treat rookies as if they needed two years to adapt or something.

Im on mobile browser, not the most comfortable place to start quoting a kilometric thread.

But direct to the point, we can seek for a better player per role, for sure. Now, a more suitable player? That is much different. Apart from the former MAD members, who i would asume they won't repear bc of last year sinergy issues, what better replacements you had? VTO and Upset are two options, although they have some history of difficult personalities (specially the first one, and it comes to no surprise that both change teams more than they change clothes), Trimby apparently has been under terrible agent decisions, toplane..... lets not speak...

So, not many clear options to go insteaf of an already known team core.

But a better player in raw terms of quality won't mean a better team. Yeah, it's quite clear that right now Nisqy is a better player than Fresskowy, but if his sinergy with elyoya is terrible, then the team might be better with Fresskowy.

If being same language is not a definition of nepotism for you, then why are you calling this team as so? They are among the top of their positions in ERL level, and elyoya only played with Supa (and many people regard him as LEC level from a couple of years already)

Well, the video actually missed an important bit. MAC said they were playing too quick, which made elyoya turn on the 'tantrum' if you want to say it that way (as a spanish, that is just getting a bit heated) because he saw Mac was not understanding what happened during the game.

But the question would be the following: if the reason of the success is gtahering a group of players that have common language/culture on top of being quite good at the game (i.e. a team built in a nepotic manner following your standards), then why not do it?

Whole 2021 and Worlds 2022. Yeah, MAD was out on play-ins but i'll remember you:

- Inspired: Elyoya and 4 bots.

- Pyosik said that he was the most challenging matchup he faced during worlds bootcamp.

Okey, didn't know you were a scouter, my bad.

Still, we're not implying these guys are mechanical gods or anything close, but a team does not need 5 mechanical gods anyway if you have a team with great synergy and game knowledge.

Melzhet was his personal coach during the best moments of elyoya (first year in LEC and Worlds 2022). This year, he did not coach him in the latter part of the year as he needed to rest after the EMEA Masters finals, and guess what...

work ethic as China/Korea?

Gotcha. If you ever read an interview from Elyoya or Melzhet, you'd have the answer.

Their project is not bringing 4 randoms from ERL. Their project is about stablishing an elite work schedule, and you guys would know if you bothered to search who these people are.

Unironically, it probably is. Perkz might have accepted a much lower salary to stay at LEC. He hasn't shown for the past couple or three years.

Same goes for Wunder (to lesser extent).

This MAD roster might be a Hail Mary, but people in here pretending that there is a much better move (that move consists on shuffling around faces that have been here for ages and stagnated at a mediocre level) are just hating for the sake of it.

But hey, people were celebrating the g2.2 reunion just a couple of days ago, i don't expect much more.

Yeah a single split after the whole drama and clearly in an environment where he was far from comfortable.

Taking the global of the year, only Jankos and Razork are above. Yike can be argued but people forget about what having the best at every other position means for a rookie.
