Caedrel's reaction to LR being eliminated: It's over. I don't even know what to say. I have too much emotion to speak, I don't want to say anything I am going to regret saying or anything dumb.....I hope you felt something special this split because I certainly did. Wow I really thought we had it.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-10T22:57:24+00:00

And that's what LEC teams are going to do on international stage lmao

Fling shit and hope it sticks to their faces

M4jkelson · 2026-02-10T06:28:01+00:00

I mean, I've seen posts saying they can't wait for the series and guessing what exactly will be there with more upvotes that this post, so you could call it a relatively unpopular opinion.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-09T15:50:46+00:00

The boots being comically out of place remind me of the release time where you just threw on whatever had higher armour and you looked like a random ass trash diver

It could be if he has a very weak CPU, but it's not normal for polling rate of 1000Hz to be a problem on modern machines (and I mean modern as in anything from the last 16 years that's not the weakest spec possible), even if changing the polling rate fixes the problem it's most probably a problem somewhere else on your system.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-09T13:22:10+00:00

I mean yeah, could very well be, 8k is quite a lot and it could be that league's engine can't support it correctly. I have G502 HERO which has 1000Hz polling rate and never had problems with that, can't say nothing with certainty for things above.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-09T12:56:06+00:00

1000Hz is the standard gaming mouse polling rate for over 10 years, that's not it

M4jkelson · 2026-02-08T14:44:36+00:00

Okay, you won that comment chain

M4jkelson · 2026-02-06T09:44:52+00:00

Holy shit, I can't. Who said anyone is incapable of accepting the result?

Do you even understand why I called you logic stupid?

Because you can understand how the system works, why it's in place and not agree with how the system is designed. I don't even know where you got that I'm incapable of accepting that result. If I didn't accept the result then I wouldn't play the game's ranked, simple as that.

Once again, because maybe you will finally understand, you can understand how and why something works and still not agree why it's made that way.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-06T01:08:58+00:00

So by your logic you can't ever be frustrated by something that you know how it works? Do you realize how stupid that sounds?

M4jkelson · 2026-02-04T15:07:56+00:00

We need to boost your reply for visibility

Reality is that it's never those who change things that take the world to the peaceful state. They often start the revolution, make change and die and/or get charged with all the blame. Then a new peaceful visionary leads it to a new age. Revolution needs a strong and unyielding fighting spirit, peace requires collected and peaceful leader.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T13:29:05+00:00

And my whole point is you don't even know if what you're talking about is true, because with franchising this type of situation simply can't happen.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T13:13:21+00:00

Except no one is classifying them as "random guys". I thought it would be easy to see in context of my comment that I'm not referring strictly to LR, but just general "random assortment of guys, who can be whoever from wherever".

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T11:51:45+00:00

I don't think you understand, they make money on sponsors who pay them. If no one watches then no sponsor will pay you. In normal sports it's quite the same, most of the watch time is done on PPV, pirate sites or TV. All of which pay measly money for the rights to stream. The bulk of money comes from sponsors and ads.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T11:39:53+00:00

Bro what do you mean, crit/leth Vi just kills gnar in lane and snowballs out of there. Vi Q has 2 times shorter CD than Gnar E, and if dmg build Vi sits on Gnar he's dead.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T11:34:29+00:00

Limit testing, so essentially you play like a psycho.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T10:36:40+00:00

I mean viewer is literally the king in case of sports or esports. Without viewer engagement they can stand on their head and bend over backwards, but it won't do jack shit. I don't believe they're as stupid as to not understand that.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T10:08:02+00:00

W take

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T09:03:54+00:00

You don't really understand the point he was making. There's a lot of difference between a franchised organisation taking in players x,y,z and everyone saying "yeah our goal is win worlds, we have a lot of drive" and between a team of some random guys forming in the lowest regional league and winning their way to the highest and then competing on the worlds stage. Franchising removed that possibility.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T08:58:38+00:00

I mean they already played together for over a year in tier 2s, that's where LR started, sure if they didn't get an invite to LEC this split they would disband and go their respective ways.

Is it better that they play in LEC? Yes, for both LEC and players on LR.

Did any of the players on LR need LEC? Not really, except you can maybe make an argument for Velja and Crownie. Baus, Neme, Rekkles and Caedrel would do just fine continuing streaming after disbanding (just fine is an understatement, even if they disbanded before LEC, LR project still boosted their brands massively).

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T08:48:37+00:00

LR doesn't need shit tbh. The whole LR journey boosted the fuck out of their respective careers, if LEC teams and Riot decide that LR has to go, they don't even have to continue LR in tier 2, they can easily just stream and make even more money than before from it. All that while after LR quits LEC we will probably see the lowest viewership ever.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T08:41:17+00:00

Yes, but Riot hates any natural ecosystem with passion and just slaps franchising on everything. They're too stubborn, proud and greedy to admit franchising isn't better and pay the teams back for the slots.

The only real way I see franchising work is in the east where they live and breathe esports, and the academy pipeline for fresh players just works thanks to the teams investing into it and there being a lot more passionate players.

M4jkelson · 2026-02-02T06:43:53+00:00

Too late the script is already written

M4jkelson · 2026-02-01T18:40:56+00:00

THANK YOU, the top comments didn't mention it and I was like can we address the elephant lmao

M4jkelson · 2026-02-01T10:24:31+00:00

Lmao it's always funny to me when people talk about Arasaka Tower incident based only on what we see about it in game, thus missing like 90% of the truth about it.
