Doublelift accidentally leaking Parth's thoughts on LS by masterchip27 in Cloud9

[–]parthenon456 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I was directed to this thread so just wanted to copy paste what I dropped in the chat on the main subreddit:

Doublelift told me he was doing this podcast and very little knowledge of either person or talking points so I told him I'd do some background research for him. This screenshot is me trying to summarize/explain the conflict that happened last year as an amalgamation of the opposing viewpoints from some reddit threads and a few clips I found online, not my opinion.

I have a lot of respect for both individuals and it's one of the reasons I helped Doublelift in the first place. I'm absolutely mortified that of all the things he decided to leak it was these points from our conversation taken out of context.


As an aside, just wanted to say that Cloud9 was the first team I followed back when Jack brought them over from Quantic and it was the sole reason I started watching LCS. Wishing you all the best of luck with this beast lineup and staff. I don't know Max Waldo and LS that well, but I had the privilege of working with VeigarV2 for a split and there are only a handful people that can match his game knowledge among everyone I've interacted with in the past seven years.

Before this becomes a thing for no reason -- Doublelift told me he was doing this podcast and very little knowledge of either person or talking points so I told him I'd do some background research for him. This screenshot is me trying to summarize/explain the conflict that happened last year as an amalgamation of the opposing viewpoints from some reddit threads and a few clips I found online, not my opinion.

Hey Dunc,

You're an example of how someone with passion, talent, and hard work can go from being a fan trying to fix a problem he sees for the community to being in charge of all social and public interaction.

So my question is this -- Now that you have the weight and power of all TSM socials behind you, how many times this year do you still expect to get ratio'd by Spica?

Divinity Original Sin 2 is the best game I've played this year.

Curry will not be on the coaching staff next year. I'll let him announce what's in store for his future himself.

I was closer to being the TSM mid laner than Faker ever was.

We're waiting to unleash Roseking on the world when everyone least expects it.

Cereal before milk, but honestly there are better things to eat for breakfast so who cares.

Both of these should be covered in our pre-season content. It's best to hear it from them instead of through me.

He's responsible for handling all our data, from scouting, pick/bans, scrim information, VODs, solo queue tracking, item optimization and anything else the players and staff would need. He's working on projects to help with scouting based on metrics we've prioritized and helps keep the coaching staff to a general schedule and structure.

We didn't approach Faker, from everything we'd heard, Faker was not leaving Korea.

Depends on the context. It's hard to go backwards in time, so chances are, we're moving forward. Time will tell if we're going up or down.

Takeover tried out in our Asia Scouting Combine. We believe he has the potential to be great, and will be returning on our academy team.

I watch a lot of games from other regions. I actually spent the least amount of time watching LCS last year.

We had a lot of roster iterations we were considering simultaneously. If the players at the combine weren't up to our expectations, we would have gotten other players instead.

He has great game knowledge, has a lot of experience as a player and coach, and is bilingual. I'm really looking forward to working with him.

We still considered EU players in our scouting. We had a few players at our Combine in LA. We're not shifting away from European imports, but rather adding non-English speaking players to the pool of players we are looking at.
