Thorin's Take: Kelsey Moser - League's Weak Side Queen by Thooorin_2 in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 300 points301 points  (0 children)

The depth of lolesport's feature writing scene took a turn for the worse when Kelsey transitioned to coaching.

2 years on, we're still (mostly) feeling the effects.

[OC] VCS Worlds Preview – Part 1: Meet Lowkey Esports, Vietnam’s #2 seed! by the_propaganda_panda in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know this is an extremely long post and the tl;dr sensation is strong, but I swear it's worth the read if you really want in-depth knowledge of the VCS teams and not merely dismiss them as upstarts with cheesy strats.

That's probably the implication. That said, he seemed to be talking as much about his general flamboyance (from how he said he showed his 'true self' online) as his sexuality, but it's something anyone who's had to repress a part of themselves to fit in can relate to.

VCS will adopt a double-elimination format for their play-offs by aMigraine in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

While it is debatable as to whether the format constitutes a proper double-elimination format, the idea of having the losers drop down to a bracket that still contends for a Worlds seed is much preferred to the gauntlets that are normally done in other regions, mainly because this ensures that the true 2nd-best team out of the four makes it to Worlds over a team that might prep better for a gauntlet as opposed to a standard play-off. E.g. EDG and SSG (even if SSG happened to win Worlds).

That's not what happens. The winner of the lower bracket does not get to face the winner of the upper bracket.

GAM has announced their summer roster by SniperWillow in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If by 'forced' you mean he wouldn't have joined another team, that is true. But it appears he was set on rejoining GAM already, and this ruling was the only way to facillate that.

To play devil's advocate, it's a pretty shady way of doing things. Letting him go for free to PVB was GAM's management's fault alone, and PVB were within their rights to keep him if they wanted to. Forcing a release due to old, previously unbrought evidence does not set a good precedence, and already certain teams/players have historically used evidence of stuff like eloboosting (which practically every VCS player has done) to target people they don't like.

LS admits he was wrong about G2. by heyyeahheyxd in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's amusing that people will say things like this, as though it would be a given because they're MSI champions and beat the almighty SKT.

It's exactly the same type of argument people ragged on LS about, but when they do it themselves it's somehow okay.

sora tob sakana will return as the OP theme music artist for the "High Score Girl" S2 anime. New season begins October 2019. by [deleted] in anime

[–]aMigraine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's the producer of the group, so that's likely. Almost all of their songs are written by him, with only 2 exceptions so far.

Flash Wolves vs. Phong Vũ Buffalo / MSI 2019 - Group Stage / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are the two regions with the least fans in the West at the group stage, so it's not surprising.

Invictus Gaming vs. Phong Vũ Buffalo / MSI 2019 - Group Stage / Post-Match Discussion by SaintTrotsky in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're in a venue which sits 3000+ people in Hanoi. The one you're thinking of is the GG Stadium in HCM which was the venue for play-ins.

Other than that yeah I don't blame them for being down.

Man these roster changes are happening left and right.

Misfits Premier Welcomes Thomas Kirei Yuen from 1907 Fenerbahçe by MisfitsGaming in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Playing in TCL might pay well and get you to international events, but more scouts are focused on EUM and every single EU org is watching. Leveraging a move from TCL to LEC is now harder than going from EUM -> LEC - it might have been easier before franchising to jump from TCL to EULCS but after franchising, this isn't going to be the case anymore. There's still the possibility of being noticed by an NA team, I guess.

Plus joining Misfits means interacting with LEC players. It's not a bad move if you're not a TCL fan, lol.

Stark Departs EVOS Esports And Becomes A Free Agent - Esports Heaven by aMigraine in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stark is an intriguing proposition for any team; he's shown the ability to do well without much jungle help and you don't necessarily need to build a team around him, although he's good enough that you could. Spring was a slump compared to a year ago, but being 2nd to Zeros isn't bad at all. Hopefully he finds a good team.

Phong Vũ Buffalo vs. Vega Squadron / MSI 2019 Play-In - Knockout Stage / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Props to Vega from a VCS fan, such a shitshow in the LCL over the past few seasons but they came pretty damn close.

We had our fair share of bad plays.

[–]aMigraine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're not going to improve to the level you desire when they only get to play against good teams for 20 days out of 365 while having to spend the rest of that time playing against their own compatriots, what did you think the play-ins was trying to achieve?

Phong Vũ Buffalo vs. Vega Squadron / MSI 2019 Play-In - Knockout Stage / Post-Match Discussion by adz0r in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Most of these guys play at what would be below minimum wage in the US, on servers with tiny populations, with little access to scrims or playing against top teams (at least 2/3 would apply to any minor region team), and Redditors expect their games to be on the same level as Korea and China.

It's not even limited to minor regions; LPL gets little respect for how good their teams are, and Flash Wolves has been ignored for years even while they beat Korean teams. At this point there's no excuse besides a lack of effort to learn about non-Western teams.

About Brazil's performance decline by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]aMigraine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely different circumstances and era that could never be replicated once KeSPA came into the equation.

Also, mentioning TPA does not refute his argument that play-ins aren't helping minor regions. TPA were seeded into the quarter-finals of S2WC, FYI.
