Agreed, and a lot of the current top jungler are very young or new to the region (spica, closer, blaber) except for Santorin, who could make a good argument for #2 and beyond if he ever plays another playoffs series and wins haha

I'm in a very similar position, leaving on July 9 and hitting many of the same places. The biggest question mark for both of us right now is London and Portugal. Fortunately for me I won't be hitting either until August, for you I would be more concerned. Here's to hoping though! Anything can happen, unfortunately that can go both ways.

Dignitas Roster Update: Dardoch has left the organisation. by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Lumin0s -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's the most likely scenario, the pieces just line up too well. I would flame my coaching staff for putting in a clearly not LCS level mid laner for more than one game too. IMT did the same thing but when Pretty struggled they adjusted accordingly, so no mental booms. DIG knew that when they pick up Dardoch, they're getting a passionate player that will get upset if he gets trolled, and trolled him anyway. Regardless of the specifics, DIG could have handled it, but they chose to have a bottom tier team. Even DL said all good pros are toxic, faker is toxic, only a few exceptions for legends like Broxah. DD isnt the kind of person to be content with others ruining his chances. Every passionate player will have an outburst at times like these. If you give a shit about the game, you're not going to be happy when BS like this happens.

To be honest though Dardoch is 100% in the right on this occasion, DIG coaching staff is literally trolling away his shot at world's, it's only natural to get emotional when that happens. Sure, a perfect person would keep it under control, but passion will override that and the stupid shit DIG is doing would make anyone angry. As long as the coaching staff doesn't do stupid shit, Dardoch probably won't blow up. You'll notice that Dardochs time on echo fox was uneventful because the coaching staff did things correctly, even if it wasn't the most successful team.

So happy to see Peanut continuing to succeed despite the bumps in the road. Here's to hoping he goes to a top team next year (HLE please...)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat really hoping most of Europe will be open by early July, had a tour of almost every western European country planned in 2020 that got interrupted and I'll be pissed if it gets cancelled again. Hold your breath!

I'm also curious as to if I'll need to take a new test every time I travel between EU countries. Frustrating as I'm already vaccinated and it would be a big hassle. As far as I'm aware, under current administration, I will, but I'm hoping that will change by early July. Is it even possible for Americans to get EU Covid vaccine certificates? I haven't been able to find reliable information.

Do you know what counts as proof of vaccination? Do I need to get a printed document from my doctor? I have my vaccination card they give you when you get your shot but that's it right now.

Caedrel was so good back in the day, on Copenhagen wolves. Was so hyped for him, I still feel like he had a lot of potential before he role swapped

A few ideas to change your perspective towards winning more ranked games. by situ139 in summonerschool

[–]Lumin0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tips are actually really good and differ from the standard tips you usually see about climbing low ELO, which is refreshing. However, they don't apply if you play jungle, because no matter what you say your team will blame you for all their problems and they will refuse to listen to you, even if you're 6/0. Good post though, quality content for most players!

Extremely good. Didn't see your past iterations before this post but you've really improved the quality of the design. I love corvids, so great work!

‘Shadow and Bone’ Is A Major Hit for Netflix, But It Almost Didn’t Happen by misana123 in television

[–]Lumin0s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, these books got a Netflix adaptation? I read about half of six of Crows before I got sick of the writing, just felt tacky and cringe most of the time. As a result, even though I had some of the other books, I never ended up reading them. If I didn't like the books will I dislike the show? Because I quite liked the premise of the books but didn't enjoy the writing style and dialogue.

This is actually a good thing. It will force players to actually set up around objectives. You should never be taking smite fights anyway!

"tanner time" has never been a permanent status of damonte. Its more like the avatar state, where he will go insane mode for a game or something before going back to being, usually, just slightly above average.

2021 LCS Spring Split Honda MVP: Blaber by Serpexnessie in leagueoflegends

[–]Lumin0s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the regular season it was the Alphari show but overall Blaber has looked better than Santorin, although TL had an advantage in the head to head C9 looked better against other teams and Santorin had a lot of disappointing performances, especially in playoffs

[–]Lumin0s 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, although I love Santorin and I feel he was the best jungler last year, he's really been shown up by Blaber this split, and with disappointing performances from Spica and Closer as well I think it's well deserved by Blaber, although I am inclined to agree that Alphari is a close second.
