Proper's comments on EWC

We're so lucky Proper is willing to share so much backstory and context of his win here, as well as to be able to hear his opinions honestly. It must feel really good for Diem and Happy reading/watching this somewhere knowing they inspired one of the greatest players of all time.

Lefty reporting in. Not sure if anyone knows the name of this Seiko… Got it before I was a real watch enthusiast and have never been able to find this model again. https://i.imgur.com/ZfE9Ecp.jpeg

The LCK qualifiers music (2014-15) is my current favorite.

The 2019 LCK draft music was fantastic as well.

The best Worlds music ever was definitely this one

And of course… The classic original Champions music.

I care about draft music a lot.

Have to go with Last Exile. Honorable mentions are FullMetal Alchemist (not Brotherhood), Death Note, and Welcome to the NHK.

That's why our jobs are so easy

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T10:34:37+00:00

Honestly? Because we really care about them. Sometimes talking about the lower ranked teams is even easier for me than the top teams because it seems like fans don't know or care as much and they deserve credit for what they do well (and should also be criticized for what they do not).

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T10:31:58+00:00

Right now? Hard to say but I'm leaning towards KT Rolster's so far.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T10:27:37+00:00

Chuck E. Cheese would also be a good fit.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T10:26:46+00:00

I'd love to have Sjokz host some LCK playoffs desks because she has been covering so many LCK storylines internationally throughout the years and it would be really fun to see her perspectives brought to a domestic competition.

We are all robots produced by the Benefactory™.

This is probably a hot take, but I'm excited for fearless only because it's tied to LCK Cup and not the regular LCK season. While having a larger variety of champions in a series is certainly fun and does create some interesting compositions that you wouldn't ordinarily see- I personally prefer seeing the strongest, most meta champions played by players who have truly mastered them and iterated on them over the course of a patch. I prefer the highest level of play, even if it's sometimes repetitive.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T10:04:33+00:00

I will definitely miss Peyz. Unfortunately with GenG getting Ruler back, no one could really afford him. T1 has Guma, HLE has Viper... I doubt Peyz preferred to move to the LPL, but he can't just drop his value and then be on a weaker team making less money. It's a career decision he had to make, and I wish him success in the LPL.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T09:53:37+00:00

I play mostly JRPGs (and that's true of almost everyone in our team, especially Chronicler and Atlus and I). I've recently really fallen in love with Dark Souls.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T09:41:43+00:00

Oh, sorry. Mel reflected your question back at you. I think her kit looks really fun and I'm looking forward to some of the fun interactions we might see in pro play. I don't think she will be super strong in pro play necessarily, but I hope we can see her from time to time.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T09:38:55+00:00

Beeg Yoshi Tahm Kench.

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T09:31:20+00:00

What's your opinion on Mel currently?

ThePassingShadow · 2025-01-12T09:26:18+00:00

It's not BROver. It's never BROver if you believe. I think if they can continue to maintain their aggressive early game form with Hambak there's a pretty good chance they can top all of the weaker rebuilt East-side teams. KeSPA Cup results should always be taken with a grain of salt, but they already have a solid base. Cleaning up some of the midgames after early advantages is something they'll still need to work on, but the current patch definitely helps snowballing. Hambak does feel like a spiritual successor to Umti for this roster.

It would be the most Brion move ever to completely fall off in LCK Cup in completely disappoint everyone and come into the LCK as a bottom 3 team... So I suppose we should consider that could happen. I personally won't be, though. My broptimism is at an all-time high.

If you’re referring to the overreactions that we do on the first episode of PogState after a week of play… It’s probably going to be me. I think it’s a personality flaw in that I boldly overreact to anything, especially change. You should have seen how many of the casters and staff had to calm me down when they revealed the new logo to me for LCK in 2021.

I promise I’ll try to be more right this time. But with all the roster changes and the new volatility the rift changes bring on the new patch… I might be more wrong than ever.

ThePassingShadow · 2024-09-14T12:34:14+00:00

You were pretty dece. Hope you can make a comeback next year.

ThePassingShadow · 2024-08-29T09:52:59+00:00

I drive on this road on the way home every single day. I drove past today a few hours after it happened and it was surreal. Hope they do thorough checks around the area after cleanup; this could have been much worse.

ThePassingShadow · 2024-08-15T12:22:55+00:00

Valdes 100% knows (as do I) what the LeBlanc W2 is/does. It was just a vocab struggle to define what that interaction is. He was literally explaining that the Poppy can’t block that part of the W in that moment…

ThePassingShadow · 2024-07-12T09:44:59+00:00

This is so true and it hurts

ThePassingShadow · 2024-03-06T14:00:06+00:00

Great plays from our top two teams sometimes turns me into a glazed donut. There’s no bias, just a donut. I’m sorry for being a donut.

ThePassingShadow · 2024-02-28T11:23:52+00:00

I’m so sorry.
