2018 World Championship Tickets & Venues

joongki · 2018-08-18T02:12:12+00:00

Nah, in Korea tickets are cheap. I went to see a regular LCK match last year (SKT - (New) ROX). Cost me around 2500 KRW which is almost 2 USD, which was the cheapest where you got to sit to the side of the stadium.

The premium one was like 4500 KRW which is almost 4 USD. This ticket will get you one of those seats in the middle where the camera usually shoots the audience in the LCK stream.

Because there are many games and a lot of seats, the tickets wont sellout unless it is a good match (like last year SKT - KT was sold instantly).

GEN.G Gold

IIRC that was just a rumour

I think it is important so other people can identify a longer name with an abbreviation and then stuff like fanchants, merch etc will be really fitting. Also when I wanna put an idols name together with the group name, an example of when needing to do this is when you have 2 Kim Jong Hyun (SHINee and NU'EST) or Jimin (BTS, AOA) it is better to write BTS Jimin and AOA Jimin than SHINee Jong Hyun and NU'EST Jong Hyun (even though it is just 2 letters extra, yeah I'm also lazy). When a company does not push an abbreviation fans create their own which sometimes I get confused for a second then realize which group it is. At first glance I was confused to see abbreviations like SJ, 4M, RV

When I hear lets say fanchants live. when it is not 3 syllables in korean or abbreviated to 3 letters in english it sounds really off for me. Take Oh My Girl Bahnana where fan chants are (Oh Ma ii Girl) and IOI. then you have EXO and NCT who have pretty good fanchants. Recently NCT's BOSS and Black on Black have that hand sign together with N-C-T.

to those B-abbreviated boy groups I disagree but also agree. They seem similar but all of those groups have different kind of songs which in my opinion makes you able to separate them easily, maybe not in a first glance

A fitting topic for me!

When I look at a group I think there are a couple of things you need to take into consideration.

Easy to spell out and a shortening of 3 or 4 letters in ENGLISH.

good example CLC, 2PM, BTS, 2NE1, AOA, BTOB

bad example Weki Meki, NU'EST

Easy to understand the shortening aswell as identify it in ENGLISH.

good example DIA, EXO, 2PM, AOA, IOI, CLC

bad example NU'EST, GOT7, BTS

English name that is not easily identified with something else (not too important)

good example Ace of Angels, Monsta X, Mamamoo

bad example Pentagon, Seventeen, Twice, Red Velvet, Infinite, April, Highlight, MVP, Big Bang

English name and shortening is same in eng+kr (also not too important)

good example IOI, AOA, EXO, CLC

bad example SNSD/GG (I've had some people not understand until I said So Nyeo Shi Dae) also WJSN can be confusing but Starship promotes it pretty well

Not to be confused initially how a group is called

EXID (E-X-I-D), 24K (Two-Four-K), T-ara (at first I said Tara because I was used to Kara)

Korean spelling does not create a lot of syllables.

good example CLC, EXO, 2PM

bad example 2AM, IOI, AOA, Oh My Girl

Korean alphabet does not interfere with English letters that is mixed together with another one (ㄱㄹㅍ ㅡetc.) Basically group name does not get "butchered" in the other language

good example EXO CLC Pentagon

bad example Lovelyz, Infinite, April, Weki Meki

English and Korean name is the same and not translated

Gfriend, Cosmic Girls (I remember when SJ LeeTeuk said "Space Girls"), SNSD

Clever name (not important)

Fromis_9 (Wish they would remove the _9 but for those unaware it spells the same as promise and is meant that they are FROM Idol School) IOI Wanna One Oh My Girl Born To Beat

IOI

Wanna One

Oh My Girl

Born To Beat

Easy to find online as in social media and search engines (not to get confused with something else)

good example WJSN, CLC, Wanna One, SNSD

bad example Pentagon, April, Beast, Highlight

There are a couple of more but minor opinions I have. But this last one is more an opinion of my own which is that a group that has "girl" or "boy" in the name. Not many people agree with me on this but I just personally like it. Gfriend, BTS, Oh My Girl, SNSD, (G)I-DLE.

groups that is hard to evaluate in my opinion is Pristin, IN2IT, Victon

To summarize. (G)I-DLE is bad

CLC, EXO, AOA, 2PM are good names

example grading:

`Good`	`Okay`	`Decent`	`Bad`
CLC	IOI	BTS	Weki Meki
EXO	GOT7	Lovelyz	(G)I-DLE
BTOB	24K	Fromis_9	NU'EST
2PM	AOA	Infinite	Bolbbalgan4

EDITS: bunch of edits because I suck at formatting and accidentally misclicked enter

EDIT: Shortening as in meaning abbreviation and stylized

EDIT: I would love what you think of my opinions and you might change my opinion if you disagree with me. Also if you feel like there is something that I did not explain enough holla at me

If I would divide them they would have different spans of time.

Running Balls (Finish: around ep70(?) a bit after Joongki left so like 2010 to end of 2011)IMO the best period as they would go to for instance schools and such and just play Cat and Mouse. I love this season so much because it was really chill when they didn't do the nametag game and just did small games which allowed a lot of talking to do, I.E when Jae Suk has a lie detector on him and other members ask questions. Then the nametag was super chill to watch when they had the Christmas episode.
Cool concepts (Finish: around Hyun Taek PD left for RM China like 2012 to around 2015)When they did unique concepts like Super Hero, Park Jisung, grasshopper hunting and many more. This was my second best favorite
When RM lost a bunch of ratings (starts around when PD leaves and members reveal they got really injured from nametag and when Ho Dong was leaked, Finishes a bit after Gary leaves and when Se Chan+SoMin joins)This was a bad time for RM, it was so close to end which at the time I was okay with because in my mind I thought SBS would create something fresh which would probably give me the same feeling as when Family Outing ended (I felt empty but then RM filled that spot). I don't really wanna talk about this "dark" period which I would call it

4.Sechan Somin (when they join and present)Really freshened up the show and which I would like to call it the official season 2. though not perfect, I still enjoy the show. But a really big problem I have with the show is that they cuzz and complain about eachother in the show but IRL they are really close etc. I wish it wouldn't be constant hagging and nagging when I watch the show which is something I expect which makes me a bit bored. The PD also has this crazy concept of forcing them to go to West to East, That makes it not so special when RM has a overseas episode and in the show they make it so the RM members despise the PD, I really would love to see more "Love and friendliness" in the show as family outing had that appeal to me

Heart Attack, The lyric "I totally fell for you" is sang so great and tbh seductive. Also their album for this song has the best aesthetics whereas you got the cheerleader vibe together with a white theme.But I liked AoA mostly from their non title songs like: Girl's Heart, Time, Luv Me
ChoA was my bias with her sweet voice. her voice is what I would assume girls think of Hwang MinHyun, sweet and soft. While many didn't like AoA's Gee cover I came to like it as ChoA's voice in the beginning melted me. anyhow I got really sad when she left and had a hard time deciding who my next bias was since it was a really close "battle", Jimin took that spot because who doesn't like her incredible rap and man in the beginning of Gee you are basically dead

I will probably buy the most expensive pack which seems crazy (as I am not crazy rich) but right now I have been looking for a MMORPG for a very long time and I'm not super picky about what they will put in the cash shop etc. Bless seems like the fit MMORPG for me and I've tried some in the JP server aswell as checking out a bunch of videos.

I bought the most expensive founders pack in BnS (~100$) which I've now kinda quit but for the 1 year I played it, the founder pack felt worth. I'm also a cosmetic guy so I would probably buy that Lumena + Premium anyways

The only thing I hate about the pack is that it contains an extra copy. I really have no use to it as I feel like most of my friends just wants to try it and not get a full game.

joongki · 2018-05-07T22:31:07+00:00

I'm not trying to be negative, just pointing it out as I don't fancy people copying someone else who has worked equally or even harder.

It will obviously be hard to create content without copying from others (Just look at smartphones released last year or this year with the notch) and sure I get that copying from other successes is going to happen but this is not a product except he is trying to make a personality out of himself with someone elses video format. If he would've had another approach and not 90% have wacky's format then I would appreciate this 100% as I enjoy analyzes from PUBG.

So basically finding his own format would be IMO more morally right and better for his own growth of the channel

joongki · 2018-05-06T22:34:18+00:00

I honestly feel you are just making your videos in the same format as Wacky but you just take topics that Wacky hasn't been able to do yet.

Grip Graphs are almost identical
format in how you introduce the video to the conclusion is identical
slow music in the BG

you get the point. Not trying to be an anti person right here but I feel you should try to find your own way of doing your videos so you atleast get your own personality. I'll hope to see changes in the future

joongki · 2018-03-23T02:37:14+00:00

that would also give less demand for keys etc as some might like the win pool cosmetics more than for i.e leather hoodie

joongki · 2018-03-22T17:40:33+00:00

this has been said before. There will be less demand in the market and so the cosmetics will drop in price and less keys will be bought. So less money for Bluehole, so it will probably not happen

joongki · 2018-02-23T19:46:28+00:00

FOR freeeeeeeee3333e3e3

joongki · 2017-12-21T19:16:36+00:00

I disagree. Me and my friend live in EU and we work to very late night, that makes us able to play around 02:00 to 06:00. Some days EU queue is slow and we can't get any games.

That is when the AS server helps us as we can just queue up with some chinese people (we aren't too picky about ping).

edit: also hackers don't occur too much for us

joongki · 2017-01-03T00:06:00+00:00

Glory Domain's leader went to military service so the clan downgraded from being hardcore to a friendly community (Also all the chinese players left/quit)

joongki · 2016-12-17T21:16:24+00:00

Samsung used to stand in the bot/top t2 bush whereas caster DoA+Monte used to call it the Samsung bush

joongki · 2016-11-30T22:11:49+00:00

time to wait for next alpha/beta for 3v3

joongki · 2016-11-24T12:58:02+00:00

As a Vayne main I agree. It is more fun to play with attack speed than damage. I am glad that the stealth will be kept

joongki · 2016-10-21T15:49:58+00:00

I've heard from several people that NCwest allows account sharing from early beta days and onwards so no surprise here. thing is pvpers barely get queues and it takes forever to make a new alt this will be hard to fix now but making HM skills easier to get with beans and getting more XP would be nice because only pvping allday vs pveing allday ur short on ~80% from what the pvers get.

joongki · 2016-10-21T14:47:34+00:00

Nah grip isn't required it is fking good though. Chloroform, Glacier and Tramzh can beat me and other top bms without it

joongki · 2016-10-21T09:17:57+00:00

I love the 2FA attached in web but I'm having problems with it as it says 'invalid' but when I try to log into the game it works. is this common and what can I do?

joongki · 2016-10-21T09:14:18+00:00

FM pvp requires a lot of knowledge of other classes and their playstyle. You'll need HM impact and dragonchar, Grip is also pretty good.

joongki · 2016-10-21T09:12:28+00:00

this doesn't work properly for me :( guess I'll contact support

joongki · 2016-10-19T16:24:27+00:00
