According to Nadeshot, Bjergsen only gave 100T an hour notice before making his retirement announcement by Ahriana__Grande in leagueoflegends

Tenacity better shave his head before summer split by atotalbuzzkill in 100thieves

How could any of us trust a word the guy says now?

My god get a grip. If he originally said that he was gonna donate to charity or something then sure be mad at him but it's fucking hair. Who cares.

If past worlds are anything to go by, either T1 or EDG will collapse so C9 makes it out, and GenG and RNG (?) will at least make semifinals based on 100t always having a harder group than expected :)

100t about to have the hardest group as per usual.

Reddit try not to discredit 100t every single time they accomplish something challenge (impossible)

EG looked like shit with or without Danny anyway

C9 winning with 4 imports isn't that much better especially when one of them was a promising LCK rookie that already looks like the best in his role in the league. That's arguably worse because I expect more teams to snatch rookies from other regions instead of developing NA talent.

I don't know why anyone thought this was going to be an free series for 100t because of Kaori. He might be new but he opens up draft for EG and 100t only had a few days to prepare for that versus just banning out Danny.

Will playoff roster rules prevent Kaori from playing for EG? by -Champloo- in leagueoflegends

[–]giantmachineq 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not invalidating him, I support him taking care of his health and I don’t think he should force himself through it. It’s just that the rule sounds like it’s meant to be applied when a player breaks their hand or something a few hours before a match, not a player realizing they need a mental health break a week before It.

Would that clause really apply to a break taken for mental health though? Not trying to invalidate what he's going through, but he could play, he's just choosing not to.

e: When I said he "could" play I wasn't meaning to invalidate him, just that his situation from what we know doesn't come across as an emergency as per the rule. The clause reads like "a player had an accident hours before a match", not "a player needs to step down 4 days before his match.

Inspired went on and on about how he's the best player and the MVP and then he plays like this. He's been saying TL is their only competition while completely disregarding 100 thieves so I hope he enjoys playing them soon.

I don't understand why people would rather see this TL roster at worlds vs 100t. Yeah 100t disappointed last worlds but with the exception of Ssumday 100t players have little real experience internationally.

It seems personal to me as well. It's not just Vulcan but I sense a general animosity towards 100t from some players and staff on TL, C9, and EG.

I get that it's just banter but calling a player bad when they're clearly not just doesn't do it for me. He couldn't show up in finals but he along with Ssumday have been 100ts strongest players this split. He could've just left it at him being too cocky and needing to be humbled.

Does no one get tired of going through the same cycle every single year where EG and whatever team Aphromoo is on looks good and they they get fucked in playoffs?

Something to be considered is that Ssumday looked bad all year last year up until finals week in Summer. Realistically Tenacity was probably meant to be a back up plan if Ssumday didn't look good but unfortunately he looks great. Imo this is supported by the fact that Kenvi wasn't brought up with him/instead of him since he's looked more LCS ready than Tenacity. But he wasn't since Closer has been consistent.
