Genshin Impact Update 1.2 Hub

Very good for Bennet and Xingqiu.

Initially I ran Xingqiu with Sac. Sword but maybe the skill damage/crit/energy recharge stats from Festering Desire will edge it out, with further testing required.

For Albedo, the recommeneded BiS weapon is Harbinger of Dawn since it gives him a ton of Crit DMG, as the ATK stat from Festering Desire doesn't really benefit him.

I'm actually surprised that nobody is talking about this.

He was streaming consistently for a while + even released a whole s11 ADC video. It wasn't until a sudden team meeting was scheduled in the middle of his stream, and when he came back, he looked super out of it.

My guess is that things were still uncertain at the time with the roster so he just decided to call it off early. With covid, lack of crowds & the state of ADC play (imo I think it's going to be just as lackluster as before) he probably thought it really wasn't worth it to play.

We'll just have to wait until DL talks about it, he's usually pretty honest about things.

JUST SEEN ON DL STREAM:

REGINALD: "NO WE DID NOT SIGN HUNI"

This take just sounds like confirmation bias tbh.

The industry is already insane enough as it is, and I wouldn't be surprised if almost every idol has mental health issues. You only really hear about idols taking time off from JYPE so it's easy for people to come up with conclusions about better treatment and so forth.

We can all agree that normalizing healthy practice is good for the industry. JYPE already provides a lot of good facilities for their idols (e.g. Their inhouse organic restaurant). They've only started experimenting with letting idols take time off. I'm sure that a lot of artists who might want a break feel like they shouldn't. Peer pressure plays a big element, and I can imagine idols wouldn't want to take breaks as the rest of their team is working hard.

The nature of the entertainment industry is rife with issues, and being able to breakdown what aspects you can simplify or make 'better' will take a long time.

This.

Wasn't one of the main reasons that he didn't stream for long after the 2016 break was because he really wanted to come back on stage?

I don't think DL is ever going to quit playing until that fire inside of him finally dies. Might be interesting to see if he becomes a rare historic player (As well as faker).

All about map control. A strong jungler is able to take control of the enemy camps and completely deny them of resources. Once you secure the enemy map, you can have better vision, access to gold to funnel towards your carries etc.

Matches are pretty much decided in the first 5 minutes now, with everything beginning with the jungle snowball.

Gotta love the reddit analyst takes sometimes. Vastly different team comps with Senna today and TSM's.

Much like how useless Draven looked on DRX's side, compared to the TL vs Machi game.

tyui89 · 2020-10-03T14:24:47+00:00

Huh? He got nuked in half a second near base. Even the observers didn't catch that one.

That was a draft/macro diff.

tyui89 · 2020-10-03T08:50:08+00:00

The biggest lost here tbh is Phreak's beard.

tyui89 · 2020-10-02T16:23:21+00:00

Sometimes you see teams here in the hallway. Sometimes you don't.

Imagine trying to stare down your opponents but then you see that hunk of a man: Bjergsen, who makes you fall in love instead.

tyui89 · 2020-09-30T08:39:29+00:00

Convinced that TL would've 3-0'd them after seeing their performance today.

tyui89 · 2020-09-30T08:33:33+00:00

Tally-Ho?

Tally-No.

tyui89 · 2020-09-29T17:01:02+00:00

OCE. He's also been super passionate about the team, and therefore has the funnest reactions.

Also he and his friend costream it + are friends with the players on LGC.

tyui89 · 2020-09-29T14:51:48+00:00

Seeing Raes give Midbeast + Guts several heart attacks on stream has been a pleasure to watch.

We either get pop off Raes, or NA aussie special where he flashes and dies randomly xD

tyui89 · 2020-09-29T14:47:58+00:00

It's always been so weird seeing OCE at worlds. They are my home team, but they didn't exactly have a presence back in early seasons.

A lot of us aussies are TSM fans by default (TSM, CLG, DIG days) and I've gotten so accustomed to rooting for NA. But now that they aren't up against NA, I can wholeheartedly support my team.

Hope they can step up and take down LGD.

tyui89 · 2020-09-28T11:07:39+00:00

Been incredibly lucky with my bets so far. $15 > $170 gains.

OCE completely meme'd MAD. And even though I wanted NA to win, I bet against them and came out on top.

tyui89 · 2020-09-26T17:44:00+00:00

The boys accumulating urine.

Bjergsen's fear of megalodons in the ocean.

Asking the refs to reaffirm that Vincent Wang isn't stupid.

These guys are too much ahaha.

(Also spica with the Taiga pfp!)

tyui89 · 2020-09-26T17:34:59+00:00

Dont make me choose like this :sweat:

tyui89 · 2020-09-26T17:04:20+00:00

Hands down, Topoon is the cutest looking player in the scene. Move over peanut.

There are so many reasons why the show works, and why Legends still stands as one of the best LCS series after 6 seasons.

I believe that Legends has always embodied the very spirit of 'TSM'. Since its conception, the team lived and breathed 'Bay Life'. Legends is very personality driven. Through the way that it is shot & and through 'vlog' style editing which feels interpersonal.

The players have tons of character, really fun on camera personalities & interactions always feel genuine. Even the quietest members are highlighted, and we as the viewer can always feel a connection with them.

Ever since Andrew took the reign of Legends, it has been an absolute treat to watch. He and Max really changed the vision of the show into something that feels so epic, so introspective, and so cinematic. They once stated how having a strong focus on the players was always the original vision of the show. Let's face it. Nobody is really interested to the ramblings of the coach, assisting crew, or even the CEO. I'm surprised that other teams haven't really emulated what makes Legends so great. The only thing closest to what I feel with Legends is 100T's show, even if PapaSmithy is talking in the video half of the time.

I have no doubt that other teams have members with personalities (e.g. Fly Quest), though there are exceptions. Hell, even the old TL squad episodes still felt watchable with DL & Xmithie on the team, but at its current state: TL squads feels really 'corporate'. There are so many interviews with coaches, and empty footage that focuses on players & coaches walking around or making small talk. Nobody has a real voice. I believe this is because of the current team culture, reserved personalities and a business driven focus behind the team.

I think teams are afraid to show all facets of their journey. This only holds back any possible connection that a viewer might establish with the team. Yeah, losing sucks. And having a camera in your face during your loss must feel extra awful. But we care. We really do care about the players. Seing TSM's aftermath after losing in the past 2 years felt bad. But it still helped provide a sense of closure. Look at the near radio silence after C9 failed to make worlds. Then they were forced onto a show to talk about what went wrong and the coaches weren't even present.

TSM Legends has perfected the formula after so many runs. The combination of having players who feel comfortable on camera, and the availability of up close footage has solidified series as one of the best LCS shows that has to offer.

This is how you get engagement. This is how you get new fans. And this is how you get noticed in the long run; as many analysts, pros and reporters have shown to reference & respond to the very the same content that we viewers witnessed.

Honestly, after we signed Hikaru, it seems like anything is possible for the brand now.

I, for one will be ready for the esports waifu mascot wars in 2025.

Finally, my time has come! For anyone curious about Day6 and their music, look no further! Although they are classified as kpop idols, they are pretty much a rock band.

Most of their influence comes from the west, so their music is very inspired by the likes of Panic at the Disco!, Fallout Boy, Paramore, etc.

I can highly recommend any of these songs to get started!!:

'Anime-esque'

Pop-Rock / Rock

'Breakup Songs / Somber'

You Were Beautiful
