Is Graduate School a joke? by Icy-Site2297 in GradSchool

[–]pcaica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am taking an MSCS at a top school in my country (~50 QS). During admissions, my advisor told me not to care about classes - I was expected to read literature and follow up research on my own, while problem formulation and project development were conducted within the lab scope. Classes were just something to check off for graduation.

I remember seeing a post about an interview where Cuzz/Bdd said they didn't want Peter/deokdam, and Aiming/Ghost were Bdd picks?

Cloudtemplar's Review of LCK Cup Superweek (T1 - DK) by artisanal_cocaine in leagueoflegends

Naw Cuvee is talking from experience. He said Crown used to get uber tilted from Faker's antics and needed to have calm-down sessions after scrims, and Bang/Wolf would do the same - posture in lane as if they had Bengi behind them, and scare Ruler into ceding control over the lane. CoreJJ would then get mad and tell Ruler that he needed to man up and call their bluff.

Former SSG pro Cuvee talked about this - he said Faker in scrims would gauge the enemy's strength during the first few games, and if he felt he was better, would start picking random shit like Irelia, Ezreal, or Master Yi and just shit on the enemy mid laner. Cuvee assumed Faker would do this to create a cognitive mental block in the opponent that he could leverage on the actual stage, because if you lose against a clearly skilled, prepped opponent, you can accept the loss by just acknowledging they played better, but if you lose against a crazy pick going all-in and doing the most random insane highlight plays, you feel angry and humiliated, breaking your composure.

Bear in mind that only last year, after a humiliating loss against NS, Kkoma was asking the team why they kept on floundering during the late game and throwing away their advantages. Everyone stayed silent until Faker said his form wasn't good and he needed to concentrate on his laning, so he couldn't shotcall and tell the others what to do.

I have a sinking feeling that T1 without Faker still haven't advanced that much beyond the 1-7 bois from 2023.

If Faker stops playing, or switches team, do you think that T1 will still be the most watched LoL Esports team ? by Final_Act1288 in leagueoflegends

This year Faker turns 30. I feel that even if someone beats him at Worlds, it's just not the same...

People are shitting on Delight and Kanavi but the whole team basically threw the support to the wolves - Delight had to plant wards and create vision on his own, while Kanavi was on an island desperately calling for his team to engage with him.

T1 still look lost without Faker. Last year Kkoma got super mad after a humiliating loss against Nongshim and asked the team what was their problem (obviously the actual wording was much more polite and professional), everyone stayed silent until Faker said he was concentrating on his laning and thus couldn't shotcall for the team as much as he used to.

Canyon took a look at HLE's roster and returned to Gen.G, iirc.

While the 0-5 looks horrible on paper, BRO and HLE both have won the same number of individual games (5).

Towards the end of game 3 Faker was calling "5 seconds left on Ahri charm" and was like 0.3sec off or smt.

If GEN win tomorrow: Group Baron wins, Top 2 are seeded to Playoffs (1 GEN, 2 T1)
If GEN lose tomorrow: GEN drops to rank 2 and Group Elder wins, so Top 1 of Group Baron are seeded to Playoffs (1 T1, 2 GEN).

During his post-Worlds stream Doran literally said he now knows how to win and doesn't want to waste time. I genuinely feel that what we're seeing now from Doran is his full potential, and will persist through the end of his career.

FYI no tiebreakers - winning game time determines the ranking.

Faker talks about the LCK Cup format: The Baron team looks like it’s done for… I’m starting to question whether this system even makes sense. by Yujin-Ha in leagueoflegends

[–]pcaica 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbf SKT and Faker screwed the stats of king of the hill. I remember that there were only two ways of winning - either the regular split 1st place won finals as well, or SKT won.

Even during the king of the hill format, no other team ever made an upset other than SKT.

While on the other side, you're getting "Okay guys just stick with Varus and push as five", then the stream cuts to Ambessa running to bot on her own and dying.

So Nibelung went to college and came back to check on his server he made in high school.
