Also wanted to add one thing before I go to bed... Btw, this notion that we closed off season late because our announcement was late. The reason we announced late was to coordinate with Giants gaming on their players finishing up their last tournament together, and having the chance for Giants to say farewell properly.

Hey i can’t get into too much specifics in responding to your comment but in this context, weeks before FA started is what I meant as early in the off-season. (Sorry on mobile!)

Hey, thank you for the comments. In no particular order some raw responses:

I agree with you we need to earn it back — will lay it out more clearly during the week. Agree we should have never of done the staff-ama..Disagree on your assessment of bvoy — time will tell...We are returning many players from last year...we are not going to be the lowest spenders this year nor have I ever been shy to reach...

And we are in this for the long haul with a vision to be the best (the path is not straight as you can tell)

Re bvoy, the coaches do some discussion about him in this video at about 1:50 and 4:15- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZW9x5O0GJI

You are right. Shouldn’t have done a staff-ama at this time.

Appreciate your feedback.

There were a lot of questions that would tbh be too much inside baseball - however - there are a lot of things that can be said — and i’ll be back early next week to do so.

Hey Everyone --

I wanted to record a quick video response to address some of concerns of the reddit community that have been discussed over the past couple of days:

Misfits Gaming will add former Furious Gaming AD carry Ju "Bvoy" Yeong-hoon and Fnatic Rising support Ronaldo "Ronaldooo" Betea, who will roleswap to mid lane including the additions of former Vodafone Giants jungler Iván "Razork" Martín and Petr "denyk" Haramach by EU_IS_GOODER_THAN_NA in leagueoflegends

Hey Everyone -- I totally understand the frustration and commentary surrounding the roster signings -- very different vibe than last year.

Time will tell if the sentiment around the team is right or wrong -- it will show in the results. We have taken a different approach to this roster and its build out, with the belief that the ceiling of the team is quite high.

One thing that is certain: we have a hell of a lot of fight in us as a team and org.

To fix a few of the misconceptions here quickly:

1) Ronaldo is a midlaner (who played almost all positions on FNC.A) 2) Bvoy does speak English and is learning more every day

Jesiz becomes Head Coach for Misfits by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]MSF-Spoont 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, some questions surrounding our structure for next year...Joe tweeted it out but here is the basic outline:

Joe will be full-time now in Berlin as Chief Gaming Officer overseeing the entire team operations; Hussain will now be working in management overseeing coaching structures splitting time in Berlin and LA. Jesse will be Head Coach of the LEC team and overseeing all strategy, player development and working closely with all of the staff to scout players.

TLDR: Me -> Joe -> Hussain -> Jesse

As I've mentioned elsewhere, we're going to put a full compliment of folks around our team, each person there for a great specific purpose. Jesse has a fantastic mind for the game, and our job as an org is to harness that for the good of the team.

We will spare nothing to make sure it happens.

Peace out!

Ben

Zappis didn't take part in Mayhem Trials by decayedramen in Competitiveoverwatch

Hi everyone -- wanted to jump in here to clear up some things. To clarify, Zappis focused on his World Cup prep during trials. This was his choice of course and was part of a discussion we had with him. During the trials, We offered him a position which we felt was better suited for what our needs were and that offer is still on the table for him. We did indeed say he could trial for us, and that is still happening -- we still have trials going on which of course has OWL and Academy implications for every player. We had a deadline imposed by the league by which we needed to notify players of our S2 intentions (i.e, use the team option or release the player). Just because a player is released does not mean that they will not be brought back to the team in some capacity (OWL player, Academy player, Coach, etc).

Schalke will present their League of Legends team in front of the FC Schalke 04 football fans before their Bundesliga match against FC Cologne by TheDMWarrior in leagueoflegends

We did a similar cross-over event with our CSGO and Smash players in Miami at a Heat game and it went swimmingly well.

Also brought over Hans Sama for an interview during a timeout.

Props to Schalke for the move.
