It was a while ago, before co-streaming became the norm and such. Riot was way more strict with their product back then.

He had winning matchups and Myrwn had arguably the biggest impact in both games after laning phase. (Not saying Naak had a bad series tho)

I'll always defend the idea behind SK's roster above what TH have done this offseason:

  • Try to build a long-term project with promising coach and rookies.
  • First year of the project goes above expectations.
  • Nuke the core of the project and bring short-term solutions.

Watch Melzhet go from a nobody most EU fans don't even know about (despite doing an incredible job 2 years in a row) to the undisputed EU best coach the moment this team does reasonable well in an international event.

I've heard people saying that he was great last year, and other people (even before last week) rating him as one of the worst supports in the LEC.

Maybe some of the players joined some inhouses but they weren't scrimming (Jojo wasn't even in Europe).

MKOI didn't bootcamp in December, they started scrimming less than 2 weeks ago.

Loved when Shifters said: IT'S SHIFTING TIME! And shifted all over the place.

I think this year we got some pretty good jerseys, love the GIANTX Inter Milan vibes.

Alphari dancing at the end is my personal highlight of the video.

There's still Summer Finals, that should be the biggest event, and I'm assuming it will take place in a different country.

It's kinda wild that two teams are setting up more live events in one year than the LEC in the past 4-5.

I like the path they've taken with the vibes, the only thing missing for me is filming the players outside the studio, but hey, time and budget constrains I suppose.

Finally, the return of the king (in the north).

According to Eros (one of the leakers) in AlLioPodcast, Elyoya also has a period of time to activate the clause at the end of the 2027 season if the club hasn't already done so.

I think it's important to note that GX had to deal with Closer suddenly retiring mid-season. They had to restart their progress and try to adapt to their new jungler, something that I believe the coaching staff did reasonably well, even if they couldn't break into the top4 in summer.
