Ive seen all the bad you could imagine. Ive been as low as 800 elo and climbed up to 1500ish before the new system. I am probably hovering around 1200 atm.
It seems as I'm closing in on 1600, that hardly anyone is going to be trolling a game. Even when shit goes terribly bad during character select, the effort to win is there. I remember being 1500ish in S2. I took a long break and lost my way down to like 1180. It was a nightmare with the trolls that are in ELOs not all that lower than what I'm at now.

MLG had a 4 team international exhibition tournament best of 3. First round Gambit wiped the floor with Dignitas. They were just dominated. Other first round game was Curse vs KT Rolster B and Curse also got stomped. Final round KT Rolster B beat out Gambit and they aren't even the best Korean team even though Gambit is about tied for the best Euro team. So, yeah. Korea > Euro > NA still looks like.
Isn't Insec considered one of the best jungles in the game second only to perhaps Diamondprox? They are damn good though. I still think if anybody NA wise is going to challenge outside the NA it is going to be Curse. They seem to be adapting better than the rest but I still feel they and NA are far behind and still do not compete at all with Euro/Asian teams. I feel part of this is their lack of scrimming the better teams. If they only scrim against NA teams then they will never get better, where on the flip side if the Asian/Euro teams are always scrimming against their overall better teams then over course they will do better.

Aaaaand it is offical. Wildturtle replacing Chaox as the AD carry.

after only 3 games? Seems a bit...premature.

NA can't even get past qualifiers for the int'l tourneys so they won't get much practice that way

Pretty sure it was more the drunk and being late to multiple scrimming sessions, plus being late and for one of the MLG Dallas tournament days because he was out partying the night before.

Yeah. Making his team wait 2 hours because he wanted to show around a fangirl just speaks volumes of his priorities. TSM wants to get better and Chaox wasn't showing any sort of drive to get better.

I'm excited to see what TSM can do with a 5th who is as dedicated as the rest of the team. It will be interesting to see what comes from the only penta kill on the NA scene from here on out in the LCS as well ;p Dat Draven.

Is adc the hardest role to play anyhow? I mean, mechanically, is it more demanding than mid or solo top?

Also, endured Xpecial's video blog from today. He said Reginald and Chaox use to conflict over calls. He also said Chaox is better than WildTurtle but it would probably be worth it from a team perspective to get WildTurtle as a replacement. And that he thought if Chaox had played TSM still would have gone 3-0 this past weekend.

My problem with ADC is they are by far the most reliant on your team to do well. If they don't peel or block, ward so you know how far to push when farming, etc, things get infinitely harder.

dang, I want to be an e-sports coach or agent.

We're sorry, boy boy, we're going to have to let you go. You're just too old man, you turned 25 last week.

The gamecribs episode certainly shows things a little bit different. While Regi made the ultimate decision and even admitted he was probably being a little selfish, you certainly can see that everybody pretty much wanted wildturtle. Will be interesting to see what happens to TSM and Chaox from here on out. Does the intro get updated now to include wildturtle? lol

After watching today's episode I completely understand Regi's decision and probably would have made it myself. Chaox flushed his spot completely down the toilet. The only thing that I thought was weird was Regi telling Chaox he had to move out the same day he was punted from the team. Eviction isn't commonly a one day thing.

cool history of pretty much the entire LoL pro scene from his perspective.

For some reason he is my favorite LoL player currently, not for skill but for just him. He is a blast to watch for skill I think I would go with Voy, he has had some really great plays lately.

In terms of Saint though, he and Dyrus make LoL E-sports for me. The scene would be so bland without them.

chaox started streaming just now. don't know if it's his first stream post-TSM but it seems like people are going into a donation/bleeding heart frenzy for him. just heard him thank two people for 100$ donations. i wonder how much he`ll make or if he even deserves this out pour. but with 21k viewers within 10 minutes of starting his stream my money is on him just raking in the change.

personally, i didn't really like him. i don't really like TSM that much outside of xpecial and oddone because their vocabulary doesn't solely consist of saying "dude" after every other word.

Ya, I am unsure either as far as the stream is concerned but I did notice it still said TSM_chaox. I also could see him making tons of quick money as he was already complaining saying the list of donations is too long and he is just going to gather all the names and send out a big thank you type of deal. He never had that many viewers when he was on TSM, funny stuff.

Same for me. No idea why, just love love love Saint!

Yeah Chaox is doing donations and subs instead of adds for his stream. He's made several thousand dollars in the last couple hours. Its pretty crazy.
