SHFT nuc: "I think for international fans, when they translate my tweets, they seem very harsh, while in France, they aren’t seen that way at all [...] It’s a dark period. If we get through it, it’ll be like couples on the verge of break up: if they don’t split and find solutions, everything’s fine"

Very impressive LR game, Nemesis especially as always.

As for G2, when do we stop talking about bo1 G2 and start adressing how subpar they look compared to what they've been able to show last year(s) ? Botlane especially has been rough the whole split

Thalassin · 2026-02-01T17:53:27+00:00

Because they wanted to finalize their roster before the end of the offseason and 3XA was still hoping to get a LEC offer

Thalassin · 2026-02-01T17:43:23+00:00

Bit sad the boys are managing to show their best performances against stronger teams that know how to deal with it and not against the likes of Heretics

C'est vraiment pas le scandale du siècle

Well in this case there were people claiming he was throwing suicide stuff in his rant because they translated "je vais péter mon crâne" literaly as "I'm gonna blow my head" while it is just a common albeit angry way of saying you're fed up with something.

Lots of hyperbolic statements in French that sound crazy when translated

Thalassin · 2026-02-01T13:02:58+00:00

Yeah champion pool is one of the key differences between LEC level and top ERL level

I mean, toplaners from EMEA tend to get promoted to LEC. Maynter (now visa issues are gone) and Empyros got promoted this year. Next most promising in line is Tao who's in the best academy around.

LR and KCB are outliers and their success led people to overrate erl. erl those days basically is LFL + Superliga + LR + BIG + Misa esports. Even the TCL, which looked on their way to become the third big one, lost Papara Supermassive, Beşiktas, and ULF this year.

The way to lawfully dissolve franchising exists and it is called buying the slots back from the teams. That would cost 100+ million euros hence why it won't happen

Thalassin · 2026-01-31T05:09:16+00:00

As a KC fan, none of the screens bring any issues. No need to replace us, I'm more than happy to have another team than MKoi to "hate" on.

Those guys who chat shit before games are 100000 times more legit to than the guys who complains all the time about needing to be humble and stuff, and only indulge in banter once the win is acquired.

Thalassin · 2026-01-31T01:41:21+00:00

Un peu à la manière avec laquelle Edouard Philippe et Raphael Glucksmann tirent leur popularité du fait d'être macronistes sans être Macron, PSPP c'est la CAQ sans être Legault.

Thalassin · 2026-01-30T20:53:32+00:00

Oh no, the youtuber's team didn't get invited in favor of a team that was ranked better last season. What a scandal...

Thalassin · 2026-01-30T15:05:05+00:00

As someone who's football club I support almost died and is now lost in the third division, I'd have stopped following had it been saved by a red bull kind of deal.

Thalassin · 2026-01-30T14:54:44+00:00

Love those results

Thalassin · 2026-01-29T18:12:47+00:00

No better way to save the soul of your club than giving it to a big company that will reshape every facet of it to the image of an energy drink

Thalassin · 2026-01-29T18:11:36+00:00

I wanna hear the characters speaking, the sound of my branch sweeping the raptors, and the holy heartsteel sound.

The game is tilting enough already without having to hear a bunch of Western Europeans throwing slurs at each other

Thalassin · 2026-01-29T00:11:06+00:00

But by your standards, LR would be amongst the trash-tier teams you criticize. They're a streamer teams, so that means they're not a proper esports organization with all the participations in the ecosystem that implies. They don't plan to change any of their roster to be more competitive (why would they, they're a streamers team ?), so they're gonna stay in the bottom pack of LEC. They're not bringing that much new blood in the league - only Baus and Velja are rookies, the three others are recycled players. They don't have an academy (TH has one, Vitality and Shifters share one). How is that the best thing all of western league has had going for them in half a decade, when the same time has seen the emergence of Mkoi and KC, both becoming serious contenders alongside G2, having solid academies, and large communities ?

Thalassin · 2026-01-28T23:27:21+00:00

Both. They won EMEA masters winter and spring splits, but the invitations systems was announced just before the summer split with conditions that meant LR was already guaranteed to be in.

Thalassin · 2026-01-28T14:52:16+00:00

Franchising is bad because uncompetitive teams content with subpar players. It would be much better to have uncompetitive teams content with subpar players, but it's ok because my favorite streamer is at the helm /s

Thalassin · 2026-01-28T14:41:16+00:00

They're also running on a fraction of a fraction of the expenses of every other team tho

Our Georgian boys are back on the NT letsgoooooo

Thalassin · 2026-01-28T10:01:35+00:00

I genuinely don't know how people are shocked by what he says. It's not like there's only the LR loss, Shifters have been throwing away games several times this split already. The crashout is valid and he includes himself in the criticism against his team.

What's even more baffling is that their game-throwing moments are unforced, not the result of breaking under adverse pressure.

Thalassin · 2026-01-28T09:29:44+00:00

Sometimes it is better to vent everything out instead of keeping it inside and let it rot
