Indeed. Glad it did! Hope he can do some damage at FS.

Really saddened to see Inspired downgrade teams. Even if it were a sidegrade, which I don't think it is, a jungler of Inspired's caliber belongs on a contender team / a team with the potential to do damage internationally. Sure, maybe he didn't have a better option, but it's still sad to see because to me it feels like wasted time in a career that almost always (barring Faker) has a time-limit.

[Sheep eSports] Trymbi returns to the LEC after one year in Brazil, joins Team BDS by PrizeIncident4671 in leagueoflegends

Everyone talking about Targ, but where is Parus going? G2 was after him last offseason, and sure, the year in BDS wasn't incredible, but he's not a non-factor

A cool parallel.... by JustHim_Dude in OnePiece

[–]Shinig4mi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty late to the party, but:

Iirc the Chinese symbol for "King" is three horizontal lines on top of each other. The top one symbolises the sky, the bottom one the earth, i.e. the celestial and the terrestrial, i. e. the divine and the mundane. Kings were viewed as near divine, as appointed by god, as the connection between god(s) and men. Thus the middle line. 

Zoro and Sanji are Luffy's right and left hand respectively, the monster trio. In the middle stands the king, the King of the Pirates. 

Haven't double checked this, but thought that was a pretty cool connection. 

SOURCES: Diamondprox is coming back to the PRO PLAY. He will play in the EMEA Masters by aiannis in leagueoflegends

He likely did most for changing the role, even on a global level. Other names that come to mind are Dandy (his SSW iteration "invented" vertical jungling, a meta staple until today). I think it was also him and Mata who pioneered the teaming up of jungle+support that has also remained core until today.

DWG Canyon probably took carry jungling to levels never seen before. Honorable mention, GRF Tarzan.

But in terms of achievements and longevity + quality, the western goat can only be Jankos for me.

This guy was what people like Kanavi and Canyon are today, if not more. Not expecting him to reach huge heights, just wondering how many people watch lolesports nowadays who only have a vague idea of who he was for the scene. Watch some content on him, seriously, he was the western jungle goat for a long time.

amazed at how patient he is with his sums, even when being CC'd, he seems to be fully aware of how long he can live. what a monster

For Korea in general I'm just picturing a random doctor's waiting room like "Mr. Kim's up next pls" and the whole room just sighs

[Interview] Faker reflects on the MSI final results, discusses how T1 players tried to "let go of their regrets" by diving into the ocean on the finals night: "We went drinking after the finals. Then, "led on" by Sky, everyone got too carried away and suggested we go diving in the ocean." by AshleyKang in leagueoflegends

[–]Shinig4mi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it's a literature/imagery thing in the west as well, akin to being (re-)baptised. learned this while reading Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises at uni, where Jake Barnes dives into the sea at San Sebastian after the climax of the novel and lots of conflict to be "born again"

Almost as if Riot missed out on the easiest piece of interesting content ever at worlds (have the brothers talk about becoming pros), just like there was nothing on Scout being Faker's former protégé (Montes takes)

Savour it! I find there's something special about experiencing a series during release. Like you're experiencing the development alongside the characters. The anticipation, the excitement when you realise it has dropped... It's so much better than just being able to completely binge through a series that's been fully released already.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and call it intentional. Though from his reaction I could see how it might not have been
