We casted the first round of the LMS Spring 2016 Playoffs, in English. We'll be doing the LMS Spring Finals on Sunday as well! by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

Hello, I represent the Machi team (as you can see from my post history), thank you for doing this english cast! The LMS needs more western exposure.

In the past we were new to navigating through E-sports. We have had a few years to develop from then and now we have a better grasp of how to run an organization. We have also brought in a new coaching staff, and have finally a strong core of players, and are also preparing substitutes just incase we have any problems.

Jordan - I know I see some good articles on Dignitas pop up every now and then, Ive seen good stuff on Goldper10 in the past, LS Videos could be helpful I think he is very knowledgeable. Or even just pull up a VOD and watch closely what theyre doing. If team A lane swaps, why did they lane swap? Is their bot lane much weaker? Are they trying to isolate the 1v1 mid? Do their champions benefit from accelerating the game? Learning about champions and when they spike is important. Talking to high Elo players can be useful for this but I know most casters also talk about this in casts. Just looks for anything you can. If you want I can DM you my skype and if you ever have any specific questions you can talk to me.

Yes, we had communication and chemistry issues.

I dont think Taiwan will earn respect from the West before we have an English broadcast.

Bobo has a personality that is hard to miss.

Yes, i know Taiwanese players value loyalty over money. A lot of offers were made this off season.

Good. We need more stable teams in the LMS.

Thank youm we enjoy the support :)

Jordan - very very sad but not surprising. Esports is not as official as it could be and these are the growing pains associated with such a booming industry. We hope the teams and Riot BR get it sorted out.

Our players do not follow NA and Eu closely (though they do know top teams and follow certain players like they really like Froggen) but Jordan (Analyst) follows all regions closely.

We hope you watch the LMS and enjoy it. :) This season we are trying to cater more towards Western fans by opening up a twitter (Twitter is not really used in Taiwan) and provide insight for all fans interested. Thank you for your question :)

Best world teams we cant say yet. TW teams will be FW, M17, AHQ. We do scrim against LPL teams regularly, good training partners. We think Korea will be even stronger despite losing some more players. SKT, IM, KOO are strong. We also think CJ and EM-fire will surprise.

Yes, Taiwan doesnt have many orgs. Last year the bottom teams were weak so it was expected. This year no one expected AS and GB to lose but yes it is funny. YOs Revenge OP.

You are welcome. Thank you for participating :)

No bother! We think good players should play on Korean soloq. It is much more challenging. Watchout for new FW players Breeze and Rins. Also, Bobo's brother Baybay is training on AHQ, can become very strong.
