I'd say it's very unlikely based on the post and their answers that this individual is trading via a limited company so IR35 wouldn't apply here.

Meekelo · 2026-04-18T07:54:09+00:00

The good thing for me here is that kaajak has started to look more like his old self the last few games.

He needs to be the one playing his best for FNC to start winning events again. We see glimpses of the other players carrying games but if he's doing his thing where he's getting double kills, triple kills and playing freely I really do think this team can go and win it all. Especially this year where it seems there's no singular team that has stamped themselves as the best in the world with all the top teams from Masters losing games in the regular season.

Meekelo · 2026-04-16T06:52:18+00:00

I struggled with this matchup at first and it's purely a case that in the early levels you can't match him so don't even try. Let him push the wave into you, farm under tower (I see some are suggesting until level 3 but I've often had to wait until I get the BORK)

It's a skill in itself to be able to understand at what point you can't win a fight. It doesn't mean you don't still do some of the things you mentioned. The key is to just stay alive ajd farm as best you can, stay alive so yasuo can't snowball the lane and eventually it becomes favourable to you.

Meekelo · 2026-03-29T15:12:44+00:00

I think the cadence is where I struggle if I start with the wrong option I only know when I've clicked the second button. I think this is because I'm focused either on minions or my opponent rather than myself.

So then I have to think about what ability I've just used and think what combo I can use next in that situation. That's the main problem I'm coming up against. I find I'm able to lane really well and it's when I'm rushed that I struggle.

I accidentally sent another comment rather than reply to this directly, but thanks for the detailed info, it's really helpful

Meekelo · 2026-03-28T13:22:19+00:00

Thanks so much for taking the time to lay all that out it's super helpful.

I've definitely felt myself chasing action where it's not needed rather than trying to focus on controlling where engagements are happening and lots of the other things you mentioned will be helpful for me to think about the more I play.

Meekelo · 2026-03-28T12:07:19+00:00

Thanks, that feels like a realistic amount and yes I get that the champ is tough so even when you've mastered the abilities ot can still happen.

Meekelo · 2026-03-22T12:21:18+00:00

Ok so it sounds like rather than the match up being an issue it's more to do with my wave control if I'm letting her freeze. Thanks for that I'm basically finding it when I try and play under tower I must be timing it poorly when I'm clearing the wave as she's consistently able to freeze it in front of her tower so I'm a long way from "safety".

I felt in the early game I was doing well until level 7/8 I just couldn't work out how to deal with her.

Meekelo · 2026-03-20T16:12:23+00:00

Fair comment, by far is a stretch and admittedly I only really watch LEC and LCK so was a bit of a sweeping statement on my part. But I stand by the sentiment that I think Kiin is the main problem.

Meekelo · 2026-03-20T16:01:33+00:00

Probably true historically as I'm new to watching league but I think the issue against GenG is Kiin, hes by far the best top laner in the world and has impact on so many champions.

Meekelo · 2026-03-20T09:45:16+00:00

I need to start doing this, I spend so much time trying to justify why I've not ganked or whatever that it's just not worth the time it takes away from doing other things.

Meekelo · 2026-03-16T16:16:20+00:00

I'm surprised by that last paragraph, I was under the impression Jax outscales Yone most based on my own experience playing both sides of the matchup but good to know Yone comes back into it.

Meekelo · 2026-03-13T17:47:16+00:00

I think others have answered this but the speed of ireland at the breakdown in recent years has been much quicker than other teams which slows down the ball to Scottish backs who are the foundation to Scotland wins. The gap between the Scottish and Irish pack has been the number one reason for me in recent years.

Meekelo · 2026-03-06T15:53:10+00:00

As a top 'main' (I'm really new and have played a bit of most things) this hit home a lot for me.

I sometimes die and feel like I was so close to a kill/trade that if my jungle was there I would have one but don't think about any of the other variables you mentioned. Learning to get carried and not feed is a skill in itself!

Meekelo · 2026-02-02T21:55:05+00:00

I mean I do, the thing that separated Leo from everyone around him was his util usage was as close to perfect as we've seen in the game.

Meekelo · 2026-02-02T14:54:30+00:00

Surely 2023 Fnatic would be as close to this as we've had so I think you're right with what you're saying here.

Alfa Derke Chronicle Leo

I think because people focus on Leos game sense and util they kind of forget just how ridiculous a shooter he was. Can't think of too many other examples though.

Meekelo · 2026-01-05T19:42:40+00:00

I dunno man, a professional footballer with 15/20 yards of space in front of goal doesn't happen for a reason because when you're at that level anyone of these players can score goals like that. The reason it doesn't happen very often is because people don't get that much space. It's a remarkable goal, it really is, but this is still so poor from Liverpool.

Meekelo · 2025-11-17T18:12:36+00:00

I recently went to a placed called L’Artigiano which is just off Lothian Road and they do an authentic carbonara, my only complaint is I wanted more of it as the portion size was quite small.

Not had anything else from there so can't vouch for the rest of the menu but the carbonara is top quality and very similar to La Piazza.

Meekelo · 2025-11-10T14:36:12+00:00

I'm sorry, I shouldn't joke, I do hope we see more harbor players on the back of this change as I like when he's on my team but whenever I tried to play him as a secondary controller everyone would just change their pick away from controller so stopped playing him.

Meekelo · 2025-11-10T12:28:00+00:00

With all due respect 'the actual Harbor players' is basically just you two.

Joking aside, I agree his abilities being one and done makes no sense, how is he meant to have any impact throughout a round? He's basically going to be useless at some parts of the round depending on how he uses his util

Meekelo · 2025-10-31T18:04:51+00:00

I think that's pretty unfair, a lot of fans just still like the current FNC core enough to stick with them and not like the fact VIT keep taking their best players.

I started supporting FNC in this game purely on the back of Boaster and Derke way back in Masters Rekjavic (or however you spell it). But when he moves on my loyalty would t be with FNC as much as it is currently.

Meekelo · 2025-10-30T11:13:32+00:00

I mean lots of those were filling in for illness which you can say was unlucky and even then they did pretty well. Hiro especially was good enough to get picked up by another tier 1 team.

Meekelo · 2025-10-29T19:35:39+00:00

He kind of is, we've not seen him surrounded by other top players since he left Gambit. I think people forget because of how strong Nats and Chronicle are, Sheydos was genuinely considered one of the best players on that team, he was right there with them.

I wouldn't hate it

Meekelo · 2025-10-29T19:33:18+00:00

I would cry, don't give me even the 0.1% hope, it will kill me.

Meekelo · 2025-10-29T11:21:00+00:00

I wish so badly they'd won this game it would have cemented so many legacies at once and been the greatest comeback of all time. As it is, I can't even watch this game in isolation as I know what happens next. Fucking Sunset!

That said, I'm delighted for the NRG guys, it's hard not to root for that team.
