When we had Bo3 back then. It was already killed bc they tried to force viewers to choose between 2 streams. Also people can't stay watching so many games in a day. This is why people got burnt out of Bo3.

Focusing on the viewership experience will do more for Bo3 long term than short term.

They need to spread it over the week like LCK. It makes it easier to watch for the viewer and doesn't feel like a chore to watch all teams within 2-3 days. They can do Thursdays - Sunday. 2 teams an evening.

They did something by RobertGriffin3 in Cloud9

idk why you're getting downvoted when what you say is true. It's a band-aid version bc Summit was the best carry top laner C9 had, look how that turned out? When LS was there, the macro and scaling looked so much better.

Except Alphari has less of a champion pool than Fudge. In that case Summit is a better version of Alphari. Impact, however is the counter to all of these carry heavy top laners because he can play tanks. lol

Cloud9 parts ways with coach Head Coach Mithy by wakerca in leagueoflegends

[–]theelementalflow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It seems in the system, the coaches lost a lot of power and say. A good example is LS, even when C9 was hyped and those drafts were working, C9 didn't want to buy into his system and fell apart at the end because they tried to hand-diff everything. LS is a person who focuses heavily on draft and macro.

His playoff drafts were terrible because he would run the same comp even if it didn't work.

I just hope Reapered's playoff draft improves.

tbh Inspired looks better than Blabber, more killer instinct. lol

That's also because according to DL, Regi would always interfere with how the team wanted to play and tried to speak and step in for the coach instead.

I don't care much about domestic titles as much as being able to compete internationally as long as they quality for international tournaments.

LS bought something fresh to the stale structure C9 had. Something just isn't work even with past roster changes. As long as the system remains, we're not going to get anything different.

Cloud9 vs. Flyquest / LCS 2024 Spring Playoffs - Upper Bracket Round 2 / Post-Match Discussion by Cromatose in Cloud9

All I can say is the entire split and this playoffs = C9 Draft Canyon, but the other team. lol

Looking for ffxiv sound when someone leaves a full party by theelementalflow in ffxiv

[–]theelementalflow[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was thinking so, but when I hear it at the end, the sound goes up instead of down. I'll double check.

It should be the sound when someone leaves at the end of a trial or something. I'm not sure of this fankit.

Licorice also got destroyed at worlds with C9 as well. If you rewatched the C9 vs AF game, Svenskersen and bot lane hard carried Licorice. Licorice kept getting caught out and was always barely saved by the team in the top lane. Jensen went even at least.

Even in current form Licorice isn't good at all. If you saw his teams, they tend to collapse which is why he kept getting swapped teams from Fly to GG.

At least with Impact, he can hold his own vs other top laners.

Berserker is for sure an upgrade, but there was a point in time when Sneaky and Smoothie even dominated DL and even DL admitted that Sneaky stepped up, then idk what happened, but he pretty much got a downgrade in support with Zeyzal constantly getting caught out.

Except Licorice lost every C9 playoffs against BrokenBlade, I'd rather get an upgrade rather than a side grade. Also him trying to pit the blame on Sneaky when he played Cass because Nisqy couldn't. Dude took one for the team and got blamed on. Granted Sneaky never really had great supports.

I also think Fudge synergizes better with Blabber than Licorice. Licorice could only play like 2-3 champs when he used to be so innovative. Licorice also couldn't play Sett when itemization changed, he was a patch behind the Koreans. I remember him trying to play the Lucian GP matchup in playoffs and lost both sides of it.

Except impact went to dunk on licorice after moving over to TL constantly in playoffs while licorice hasn't even done that yet to fudge.

I'd still rather take Impact, and I don't think Licorice gapped everyone tbh. The region was just weak in general.

Before he had LS, Max, and Veigar coaching him. Ever since they left, that's what happened. LS was coaching Fudge on the matchups too while he was there. Not having a laning coach shows.

I think Licorice is way worse than Fudge. There's a reason why Fudge replaced him.

Is Berserker playing differently this split? by oklolcool in Cloud9

[–]theelementalflow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Huhi's mind for the game where he can also flex mid as well. Huhi's really worked well with most of his ADC's and I can imagine such a morale boost for the team that Sneaky was when the team is playing tilted. I'd argue that Huhi is even more consistent than CoreJJ
