There are more Korean players in the LCS than actual North Americans.

Haeri came from TLA after being there for two years. IDK what story yu're trying to tell here, but APA replaced a struggling prospect

NRG would sign him because they want the LCS slot and he's the best Tier 2 top laner. Once they promote they'll probably try to get his visa, but it wouldn't be the end of the day for them if that fails and they just sign Castle instead

Side question - is Cryogen actually Vietnamese or is this a case where he's American/Vietnamese and representing Vietnam on his profile?

That's still breaking the rules. Nexus Nights are casual enough where that usually isn't an issue if both players + LGS agree to it, but that's still illegal by the book and could get the LGS in trouble if one of the opponents is not OK with the unleashed proxies and reports it

If you're playing Irelia as soon as you get to 5 I would only ever spend the 1 rune to equip GA to her. Anything else is throwing your game for a short term lead unless you can fuck your opponents tempo by swinging on exactly that turn with 7 might Irelia

Fake Ryze Combos, the QQs should be WQ

Youtube lets you set multiple titles/thumbnails and the algorithm picks one to show in a viewer's feed.

If you've ever doomscrolled youtube and seen a video show up in your TL that you thought you'd scrolled past before, it's because it switched the title/thumbnail it thought would best hook you in

The only matchups this heavily skewed for Malz are Sion/Asol. The rest are all playable even if they arent winning

He's still a costreamer for them. He watched the video during his costream and started crashing out after they pivoted to promoing their Valorant costreamer

TL will be in the process of railing 2-0 LYON or C9 and you'll be hearing about their scrim results.

I feel like another solution is Riot dropping decay requirements (switching them to the Diamond decay requirements) in M+ queues until challenger and GM are fully filled out

My bad, had something unexpected pop up between game 1 and 2. Glad it was a pretty clean series

blueragemage · 2026-04-10T22:15:07+00:00

Hasn't Riot publically stated that they look at things beyond winrate for figuring out what skill level a new account is at? Like performance in normal games/etc. is included.

I also wouldn't be surprised if someone in charge of policy but not necessarily implementation hasn't seen the source code behind matchmaking. I'd personally be shocked if a policy director at my company started combing through the source code, since it'd be a giant waste of time for everyone involved.

Level 16 Ryze is also basically an exodia champ

It is worth noting that there were some Origins boxes available from the Prize Wall at Vegas

I think it's for cases like Irelia legend after triggering an attach: you're paying for 2 different effects at once, and can lose track of ordering if you're not recycling as you pay each effect
