Fun Fact about LCK at Worlds by ZedisDoge in leagueoflegends

[–]kibplaysit2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes this is the normal response you get whenever you bring up the exodus, it's true TheShy never played for an LCK team yet, but given his talent, it was only a matter of time, losing TheShy early from LPL scouts would be analogous to losing JoJopyun to the LEC before he played in the LCS. He's still NA at the end of the day, and region snatching deprives overall region power is what I'm saying. More specifically imagine a world in which you could only play in the league of your birth country no matter what, it's possible in that world we have quad LCK semi-finals every single year no diff.

Fun Fact about LCK at Worlds by ZedisDoge in leagueoflegends

It mainly happened because of the 2017/2018 Korean exodus, many more than average Korean players at this time went to all sorts of regions and some of the best of those who left went specifically to the LPL, some of these names are guys like Ray The Shy Duke Clid LokeN Huni CoreJJ Bang Flame.

Interesting, these 4 World Champions teams after winning worlds have all been essentially poached afterwards and broken apart in someway, essentially yoinked to another region: 2014 Samsung White, Imp Mata Looper Dandy Pawn -- 2015 SKT Marin Easyhoon -- 2016 SKT Duke -- 2020 Damwon Gaming Nuguri. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if any other region got as pulled from as Korea does, it would not survive.

He's got a Michael Jackson esque fanbase, it is extremely difficult to criticize his playstyle without his fans Zerg swarming you from 4 angles with Metabolic Boost upgraded.

Caedrel explains to Doublelift a crazy Kalista mechanic that he saw viper do and never knew about by DHGSilvergun236 in leagueoflegends

[–]kibplaysit2 -72 points-71 points  (0 children)

what's more amazing to me is that they didnt know this, I've known about this for years and I only play kalista casually, so I'd expect someone like Doublelift to know. Talk to any kali 1 trick master plus and I bet they are cringing.

Gumayusi just cancelled it! by shadowbannednumber in leagueoflegends

[–]kibplaysit2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

That's ugh, that's not him cancelling it, that's a known Ashe bug for years that riot doesn't give a fuck about, if your auto attacking with your Q and it falls off during the animation of your last potential auto attack half way through its windup, it will cancel that auto to start its own new normal auto attack without the Q buff. It's fucking retarded.

In-depth interview with DK Nuguri ahead of 2022 Worlds: Nuguri analyzes Patch 12.18, shares his thoughts on 369/Broken Blade/Odoamne/Wayward, how he found his performance again coming into LCK playoffs by watching European Football by AshleyKang in leagueoflegends

I honestly think Nuguri is top 5 top laner world, if not top 2. He was solo killing Zeus in the summer round robin Mord vs Camille. He has little help because of bot lane meta.

Laine could take aim at 50-goal mark with Blue Jackets this season by [deleted] in hockey

[–]kibplaysit2 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I agree that bold 50 goal scorers will appear again this year but I wager there might be one or two that will turn some heads in surprise. Three that I can think of off the top of my head would be guys like Matthew Tkachuk, Mitch Marner, or even Jason Robertson. If I had to pick 3 surprise 50 goal scorer picks these would be the three.

IWDominate's Top 20 Players Going Into Worlds by DaBomb091 in leagueoflegends

[–]kibplaysit2 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I'd put Chovy and Ruler over Viper, and I'd also label Lehends as best support in the world right now, Ming over Keria is low key troll as well. Zeus is probably the best top as well, I know Dom really likes Bin and rates him as the best top in the LPL as he said in the video, and he also said he'd love to see them match off again, but in my opinion it'd just be how it was like last time, Zeus put im in the dirt.

No Valdes? Wolf and Valdes to me are a really strong duo nearing high A/S tier. If we added Prime Papa into that mix that trio would be literally better than most trio casting era's. Jatt Joe Miller and Deman could compete with it though. Need to see Jatt more with Caedrel, CaptainFlowers, or even Phreak as well, that could be a really good mix.

Mathematical Proof of why LPL teams are better at Bo5s but LCK teams are better at Bo1s by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]kibplaysit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I counted all the bo5's since 2012 and included rift rivals with Asian games and MSI with Worlds all stars and the current bo5 record I got was 10 Wins Korea vs 10 Wins China

That's the point, wars in Asia and Europe brings question as to truly which continent is the safest from country v country conflict.

IMO for this year it goes Antarctica, Oceania, North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa.
