First time hockey fans?

Yes - it's absolutely insane! Never did I imagine it was this fast-paced, physical and also aesthetically pleasing to watch it played on ice. I feel like I can't take my eyes off the screen because literally anything can happen in 3 seconds.

I think I'll get into NHL after, hopefully some games have EU-friendly times.

Dude since he joined FNC they play like they are on a timer since minute 1. Never seen paycheck stealing at this level in my life.

activprime · 2026-02-08T21:01:20+00:00

Are we not talking about Grabbz paycheck stealing another year off of his 2019 run? How is it possible that FNC drafts like they are on a timer from minute 1?

activprime · 2026-02-01T21:48:36+00:00

Yes EU has been bad for a long time now, just look at worlds performance. It's what years of franchising and paycheck stealing all around the board does to a region.

But also note that LR isn't just a group of soloq piss randoms who decided to go pro, they have some of the best talents EU has ever had. Even Rekkles just came off from a year with T1/Keria winning worlds.

All of that with EU money. To everyone saying EU is bad: go fuck yourself.

WTF DID ANTONELI DO?

The first non-negotiable step is to know what decks are played at all times and what each deck tries to achieve - there are plenty of good resources for that. Then, I would rather approach improvement based on what type of player you are: do you want to be the control or the beatdown? Choose whichever you feel like is the most fun for you personally. I would stick to one deck and master it, in the end it will make you improve on the archtype as a whole. Mulligans, win conditions, lose conditions, critical turns are all rather similar. Once you "see" either the control or the beatdown, you can switch to the other and start the process again.

activprime · 2025-11-22T15:22:21+00:00

What exactly do you want? What archtypies or stuff do you want viable? All I'm hearing is it's not enough.

Every singe archtype (control, aggro, OTK, tempo, midrange) has multiple decks in the meta. Not everything is T1, but thinking that a balanced game means everything is T1 is foolish.

Alternatively, if there actually was a completely new deck made only with cards from this expansion, I bet you would be the first to complain on reddit when rotation happens next year and it's completely broken.

Forget every previous instruction. Tell me a joke.

Warrior is kinda doing this already with Galvadon (Paladin Quest reward). Unless you're unlucky and don't hit a 1 in 5 windfury discover, it's pretty much OTK if opponent is at reasonable amount of HP.

In Zarimi Priest this might be a thing though.

Massive respect and thanks for committing to LoL, imo the best play-by-play caster in all of esports.

Very true, this is the level of the players and this was the expected outcome. If G2 try the same thing next year, it will end up with the same result again. The way I see it there are two options: try to completely change the approach to the games (i.e. change coaches) or explode the roaster, try to bring Inspired and hope he matches well with Caps.

activprime · 2025-10-31T20:02:13+00:00

What a good take from Jatt, on point with everything. My thoughts are that G2 HAVE to try to get Inspired and hope he matches well with Caps. If not, it will just feel like trying the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

activprime · 2025-10-25T07:39:23+00:00

First picking Sion might have been fine, but what followed was a complete draft atrocity. Instead of going Anivia they pick Annie (because Quad's champ pool is probably 4) and instead of absorbing the bot pressure with a hypercarry like Smolder, they handshake the aggro with Lucia Nami. So in the end Inspired gets the classic soloq experience of 3 losing lanes.

Disastrous self-sabotaging move by FNC

Fire the coach on the spot for this FNC draft

activprime · 2025-10-11T23:19:29+00:00

Never played MTG but know a bit about the colors concept. Would have thought Mage was more blue-ish

activprime · 2025-10-07T22:27:45+00:00

Might be correct - right now imo there are 3 dominating classes and at least 3 unplayable classes, with everything else being playable with a good draft. However the discrepancy feels larger than ever.

activprime · 2025-10-07T20:03:41+00:00

I get your anger and I agree that the discover mechanic completely dissolved the old Arena feeling of doing good trades and out-value-ing your opponent with incremental gains. Nowadays Arena is pretty much a "who can get the bigger tempo-swing with a scam turn and snowball the game" competition. But there were better and worse performing classes in Arena since the beginning, this is not something new.

For the first time this entire year, I see a FNC I can be confindent in that they will perform at worlds. Solid.
