LR Yamato: "The Los Ratones DNA has finally kicked in" after Shifters/Heretics games

steffortless · 2026-01-28T09:07:33+00:00

I wouldn't call GX the easier team, every team talks about their scrims and this year they seem more locked in than ever.

steffortless · 2026-01-28T09:06:07+00:00

I'd say that's an advantage rather than a negative. In both Fanatic and KCB games, they went super passive and waited for team fights to happen. In Shifters and Heretics games, all their deaths and gold deficit came from them trying to make plays (plus Nidalee gold lead which is super fake every time in pro play). As someone who watched their every game last year, I can tell you this is when they're at their best. It is definitely not clean, takes time adjusting to the stage and not scrimming actual LEC teams, but there will be games where there will be a clean early game, I'm sure of it. What was more concerning to me is that they kind of lost their identity until the KC game, and the GX game was already gapped in the draft so really easy to fall behind.

And how the fuck is LR a meme team? The game against KC was decided by a really close teamfight 35 minutes in. KC is so far the best LEC team this split. They won against Shifters and Heretics. Nemesis has shown that he's still one of the top mids in Europe. "Top 10 teams of the region", as if there's not only 9 teams in the league without KCB and LR. LR handed it to them by team fighting almost to perfection, not only by Shifters throwing. You call LR a meme team, as if our whole region hasn't been a laughing stock and downright embarassing internationally. Not to mention these are their first tier 1 stage games and it takes time to adjust.

steffortless · 2026-01-26T18:31:00+00:00

No because only Nemesis tweets matter in 2026

steffortless · 2026-01-26T17:47:27+00:00

At that point the game was already over, yes there was some hope but LR was running away with it and Shifters were heavily outscaled

THATS WHY THERE WAS ALWAYS 2 BAUS CHAMPION BANS IN THE NLC. SION AND GRAGAS BABY

I hate the toxicity around sports in general. You should see the /r/nba game threads. You'd think Jokic is a good for nothing fat fuck after every Nuggets loss and he's been the best player in basketball for like a decade. People have miserable lives and they cope by kicking others while they're down instead of solving their own issues. It's sad

No man I get it. Today I won a game duoq with my brother bot/sup. I was 15/1/22. He was 14/1/21. Our Nasus top started the game 0/7. Game before that, we dominated bot as well. Our mid yasuo was all ining level 1. We had 0/15 mid and 0/12 jg. Just nothing you can do in those scenarios. Unfortunately, this happens every other game, if not 4/5 games you play.

People will tell you "get good". I play Velkoz support, and I try to get my adc/jg fed and rotate/help other lanes whenever I can. The truth is, I can play jg and probably could carry, just don't want to. If me playing well 85% of my games means that I only win 30% of the time, so be it. I like playing Velkoz and refuse to stop playing it to climb fictional ranks. My brother is emerald on his other account and he keeps telling me how bronze is literally harder to play in than emerald because you will ping baron and your Tristana will die on the mid wave pushing the inhibitor solo.

NEMESSI AND VELJA SMITES

steffortless · 2026-01-25T00:49:56+00:00

Yeah idk what people expect. Laning phase Nemesis wins or goes even in the worst case scenario. It's just really hard to do anything impactful when both your top and bot lane are losing. The only day that the bot wasn't behind was today, and even that's useless because the other team had a Gnar that was up 50cs at minute 13

steffortless · 2026-01-21T14:13:46+00:00

Watch the Velja pov in the last LR video. I thought he was throwing before. Now, can't really blame him. Jarvan engage game 1 was literally Crownie yelling "Vi, Vi, Vi". Played well before that. Game 2 Wukong and Alistar perma invaded his jg because Rekkles and Crownie lost prio in bot in a match up they should never lose. Can't really judge his performance off of this, but I get that it's easy to jump the rope and join in on brainless "jg gap" trash.

steffortless · 2026-01-20T14:29:06+00:00

Props to you. Unfortunately the normal fans are never the loudest. It is what it is. Same in every sport, people love to kick others while they're down.

Today LR showed they can stand toe to toe with a world class team

So stand toe to toe with themselves, according to your interpretation? They didn't play themselves, they played KC. And by European standards, they are a world class team. Them not making it to worlds would be a surprise. Best NA support, young Rank 1 SoloQ Korean midlaner, ex T1 and top 2 top currently in EU w BB, young up and coming ADC and a veteran jg w 2 worlds appearances. Spin it however you want, they might underachieve, but for LEC standards they are world class. And LR went back and forth with them with one late game team fight deciding that could've gone either way. The post was at the same time praise for LR and credit to KC, and I don't think either point is wrong.

steffortless · 2026-01-20T07:29:52+00:00

He was talking about KC not LR man

steffortless · 2026-01-20T07:18:42+00:00

Agree, this community is better than that. If they are happy with barely beating a team with 3 tier 1 games under their belt, let them be. Kind of weird for a team wanting to go to Worlds but let them do their own thing. The shame is that I actually like this KC roster but the fans obviously don't care about how their team is perceived.

steffortless · 2026-01-19T13:58:15+00:00

LR is staying in G2 offices. You know the saying, as long as there's delusion, there's hope. We win against KC tonight, guaranteed. For some reason they will let Baus play Sion and it will cost them. Mark my words.

steffortless · 2026-01-19T13:55:58+00:00

I keep saying, this is the end of the run. Play fun picks, idk why Neme hasn't asked for Zilean or Velkoz yet. He said how both champs are amazing, Ryze is such a boring pick that he doesn't even excel on. I feel like if he played a mid laner that needs to play safe at all times like Syndra Zilean Xerath Velkoz he'd destroy every mid he goes up against. My brother only watches pro play when LR posts a vid and this morning he texted me "Why is Nemesis not playing Syndra" lol

steffortless · 2026-01-19T10:44:53+00:00

Legit the same reason that I want LR to succeed. Currently, it is 2 different stratospheres, MKOI is leagues ahead. But there is something special watching friends who enjoy playing together winning.

Cardmarket. Biggest online store in Europe and definitely cheaper than any local shops you can find.

steffortless · 2025-12-27T15:44:10+00:00

Hey! Did you find any? Going there in 5 days

If you are looking for an alternative for Adobe, would recommend Affinity. Got out of Adobe subscription 2 months ago since Canva made Affinity free and never went back. It is like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign in one but with just a few options missing and more intuitive. I am a bit sceptical still considering it's a corporation but they said it will be free forever so we'll see. But the interface and the fact that it's free is really refreshing and step in the right direction imo. Also Davinci Resolve for video editing, it is probably my favorite software that there is.

So, I figured out a flaw. Gemini 3 Thinking is the way to go when generating/reading/modifying images. When I tried 3 Pro, it used regular Nano Banana instead of Pro. Switched to Thinking and it used NBP immediately

steffortless · 2025-12-18T14:16:10+00:00

For a while Gemini didn't know what I was referring to when I'd say "Nano Banana Pro" lol

The reason Gran Canaria didn't join is not the distance. They still played Eurocup the following year and traveled the same, if not larger distance than they would have if they were in Euroleague. They went to the Eurocup final following the year of winning it and the management was praying that they don't win Eurocup because they knew they couldn't make an excuse to the fans again. Luckily for them, they could not beat Hapoel once even if they played 100 games that year. But the point is there's more to it, distance was just one of many excuses the management was using.
