    Appreciation thread for Caedral, jungler for Excel Esports — a team in the LEC — for his efforts in casting today’s Group B games with Quickshot, an LEC play-by-play caster, for the Play-Ins group stages of League of Legends’ 2020 Worlds Championship on September the 27th.

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 08:12 AM PDT

    It's such a great joy to see the EU production team come up with another great caster. He's so damn eloquent and fluid on the desk. This day has been a blessing and Caedral deserves all the praise he can get because we'd love to have him cast more.His chemistry with Quickshot along with his confidence and game knowledge were so damn great and enjoyable. I wish he stays on for the duration of the tournament as he provides a great insight into a more detailed approach to the game. Caedral joins a list of esteemed EU players who turned into great casters in the likes of Deficio and Krepo. In a similar style to those two, his analysis revolves mostly around the micro approach to the game as opposed to the macro. He's more into why each play was done and how it correlates to the grand scheme of things. Such a style is different from the regular analysts because they tend to look at big picture stuff. In essence, Caedral is a great addition to the desk and a lovely analyst to listen to.

    PSG.Talon subs Kongyue and Uniboy deserve mad props

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 08:59 AM PDT

    Without those 2 in particular they would unlikely deliver such an explosive and dominant performance in Play-ins. Nobody expected anything from this team, given the circumstances and they straight up smashed everyone.

    It makes me very sad that such talented players who worked so hard to get the team to the Group Stage won't play another game at Worlds. Such are the rules but it doesn't make it any less tragic.

    By far the best midlaner and jungler in the entire field of Play-in teams and no doubt the best mid/Jg duo. The level of early agression from Kongyue was unmatched, be it Ekko/Kindred, you name it. The team reminded me of 2018 Griffin where they played smart towards their wincondition and outteamfought the opposition.

    I hope these 2 players will get LPL offers going into 2021 season, given that they speak chinese and show great amount of promise.

    It’s honestly refreshing to see Twitch back in the meta at Worlds

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 05:35 AM PDT

    He adds such an interesting twist to games with his invisibility, resets, hyper scaling, and team fighting, team-melting ult. So many iconic moments in Worlds for Twitch as well. It's actually refreshing after so many splits of Kaisa, Xayah, Ashe, Varus, Ezreal and more recently Senna and Aphelios.

    Fun Fact about Ornn Item Gold Value

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:16 AM PDT

    We all know that Ornn loves to build Abyssal Mask and Sunfire Cape to get those sweet sweet upgrades. Casters like to point out that the value of these upgrades are worth over 3,000 gold! A quick Google search confirms the raw stat gold value of these upgrades are equal to 1,876.7 and 1,666.7 respectively for a sum of 3,543.4 gold! This number is a bit UNDERstated specifically for Ornn however due to our thicc boy's passive. Not only can he build items in lane, upgrade his teammates items giving thousands of gold value, reduce tenacity on brittled targets and also allow allies to proc brittles max health damage; he also gets an additional 10% Armor and MR from all sources! This yields an additional 10 Armor and MR from Infernal Mask and Forgefire Cape, bringing the total additional gold value Ornn gets from these two items to 3,923.4 for our special tank (assassin warlock adc mage support).

    TLDR; Ornn gets 3,923 gold value from inferal and forgefire if you include his 10% extra armor&mr passive

    Chinese Reaction on LGD vs UOL

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 08:34 AM PDT

    [LGD vs UOL]

    Peanut possessed by Ning

    Haha. LPL teams prefer korean servers, got beaten by teams that played in China superserver

    Peanut is seriously the imposter, man.

    Negative impact Lilia

    Riot really need to investigate Peanut

    Peanut is even noober than Clearlove

    The two koreans are imposters, plus the support.

    Peanut, please just go back to LCK

    Why is peanut keep showing off lck's icon? Imposter's message

    LPL Caster 米勒:Other than xiye and langx, I can't even see their spirit

    LPL Caster Remember: Just get destroyed quickly.

    Never been so disgusted by a player. Peanut, you are the first!

    Keep showing GENG's icon. Go get a job at Samsung's Electronic Factory!

    If I am Xiye, I would grab the chair to hit the jungler beside me

    Don't flame anyhow, take care of your team, train tickets are hard to get during the National day vacation, buy it earlier

    Is peanut overrated? He have only won one jungler in BO5s.

    https://imgur.com/a/DJcqlrs Welcome DGL's members joining our factory!

    Tbh, I don't ever want to see Peanut's face again

    This proves one thing, don't ever try to buy korean imports that are already popular, no point.

    Mark is the hidden trash in this team. But the most disgusting thing is he can only ranked number two in this team in terms of trashness.

    Lets just see if there are teams still willing to buy old korean imports in future.

    I just can't believe that he is not betting

    Four games negative impact, unbelievable

    You laughed at Peanut's bad plays, Peanut laugh at you paying your mortgage

    这话就跟一司机跟你说突然忘记怎么点火挂挡,一厨师突然忘记炒菜要放盐一样离谱

    If he plays well in future games, people will just cool down. But really can't stand it if this keep happening.

    反正希望他清醒点吧

    Anyway, lets just hope he sober up

    对不起有个锤子用,bo5杀回来才是最好的道歉

    apologizing does nothing, winning in bo5 is the best apologization

    Chinese post-match reaction on LGD vs UOL and LGD vs V3 from Zhihu

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 02:04 PM PDT

    Some exercpts from Chinese post game reaction to LGD vs UOL and LGD vs V3 tiebreaker from Zhihu (basically Chinese counterpart of Quora):

    [On LGD Losing to UOL] Source: https://www.zhihu.com/question/423213269

    LGD你是不是签了小龙野生动物保护协议?

    Peanut你到底在想什么?

    LGD did you sign a dragon wildlife conservation pact?

    What is going through your mind Peanut?

    有的队S5就死了,S10才埋!

    some team died in S5, but it wait till S10 to get buried!

    最后恭喜LGD创造历史,前无古人(第一支在入围赛1-3的LPL战队),后无来者倒不好说,可能要等一手五年后的LGD!

    finally let's congraulate LGD for making history, no one has came before (first LPL team to get 1-3 in play-in), we can't say for certain if anyone can do it again, for that we may have to wait for LGD 5 years later!

    托LGD的福,我确实是第一次如此认真的了解到入围赛的赛制,知识+1,五年后还用得着!

    Thanks to LGD, I actually for the first time learned so much about on rules of play-ins (on how to advance), knowledge +1, it's going to be useful in 5 years!

    1、美术馆里有一幅描写莉莉娅与英雄联盟的画。

    一个苏宁粉丝看了,说:"这个莉莉娅一定是sofm,刷野干净利索。"

    一个京东粉丝看了,说:"这个莉莉娅一定是kanavi,抓人迅猛无敌。"

    一个LGD粉丝看了,说:"这个莉莉娅一定是peanut,他不会刷龙,只会回家!!"

    There's a painting in art gallery depicting Lillia and League of Legends

    a SN fan saw it, and said: "This Lillia must be sofm, clean execution of jg clearing".

    a JDG fan saw it, and said: "This Lillia must be kanavi, quick and hard-to-beat ganking".

    a LGD fan saw it, and said: "This Lillia must be peanut, he can't get dragon, only knows how to b!".

    2、——什么在LGD是最常见的?

    ——永远的放龙。

    ---What is most frequent seen thing at LGD?

    ---perpetual letting drake go.

    3、一个人在大街上大骂:"peanut是个白痴。"结果被LGD禁止观赛22年。

    2年是因为:辱骂队伍核心选手

    20年是因为:泄露队伍机密

    a guy name-calling on the street: "peanut is an idiot", and he got banned for watching LGD game for 22 years.

    2 years for: personal attack on core team player

    20 years for: leaking core team strat

    4、问:什么是最长的道路?

    答:peanut在峡谷里逛过的路。

    Q: what is the longest road?

    A: road stroll by peanut in rift

    5、一个UOL粉丝和一个LGD粉丝的对话:

    -我们有小龙和峡谷先锋。

    -我们有peanut。

    -我们也可以有peanut。

    -可那样的话你们就不会有小龙和峡谷先锋了……

    Dialog between a UOL fan and a LGD fan:

    -We have drake and rift herald

    -We have peanut

    -We have peanut too

    -but if that then you can't have drake and rift herald...

    6、peanut即将进入峡谷,LGD教练组拜托一位著名画家创作一幅名为《peanut在刷野》的大型油画作为献礼。

    画家很不情愿地接受了工作。画完成后,LGD教练前来验收,结果让他大吃一惊:画面上是UOL打野的豹女在打龙。

    "这是什么?这个豹女是谁?!"

    教练愤怒的问。

    "UOL的豹女。"画家答道。

    "龙呢?!"

    "峡谷的小龙。"

    "可peanut在哪里?"

    "peanut同志在刷野。"

    画家答道。

    Peanut is about to enter Summoner's Rift, LGD coaching staff commissioned a famous artist to create a giant painting named "peanut clearing jungle" as commorative gift.

    The artist grudgingly accepted the task. After completion, LGD coach came to check on the job, the result was to his great suprise: on the painting there is a UOL Nidalee jungler taking dragon.

    the coach angrily asked: "What is this? Who is this Nidalee?!"

    "UOL's Nidalee", answered the artist.

    "What about the dragon?!"

    "It's dragon from rift"

    "But where is peanut?"

    "comrade peanut is clearing jungle"

    answered the artist.

    [On LGD winning tiebreaker against V3 for fourth place] Source: https://www.zhihu.com/question/423213269

    也就是说,

    LGD除了V3谁都打不过,

    经典中韩团结靠日本。

    至少LGD五个人都保住了自己的国籍。

    so basically,

    LGD can't beat anybody except V3,

    the classic China and Korea friendship depends on Japan

    at least all five members of LGD get to keep their citizenship

    狼行是真的行,他把小花生的海景房打没了。

    所有人都觉得LGD行的时候,他不行;

    所有人都觉得LGD不行的时候,他行。

    这就是LGD的反向哲学吗?

    Langx really can do it, he played to get rid of peanut's ocean-view villa (meming on peanut must have particapted in matchfixing)

    when everyone think LGD can do it, it can't

    when everyone think LGD can't do it, it can

    so this must be a part of the reverse philosophy of LGD (meming on GodV reverse skillshot)

    合计老干爹的绝活就是抓住一个自己能打过的猛揍是吧?

    可惜只有一个日本队,也只有一个宁王。

    然后咋整?

    So LGD's one trick is to find someone it can beat the beat the crap out of him right?

    But the problem is there are only one Japanese team, and only one Ning.

    Now what?

    1、好消息,LGD至少还要折磨观众一个BO5

    2、LGD这条命都是日本队给的,抗日是咱老手艺了

    3、小花生华丽的数据依然掩盖不了他没有存在感的表现,即便是最拿手的男枪也缺乏统治力

    4、万万没想到狼行居然是LGD最C的

    5、更想不到看LPL打个外卡队居然看出了总决赛的紧张感??

    1. Good news: LGD will torture us for at least one more BO5

    2. This entire life of LGD is given by Japanese team, fending off Japanese is our old trick

    3. Good numbers from peanut (in this match) still can't cover up the fact he has no presence, even when he's on his best Graves

    4. Never ever would have thought Langx would be most carrying player on team

    5. Even more unthinked of before, watching a match between LPL team and wildcard team playing giving us heart attack like watching grand final.

    捧杯吧LGD,捧起那个ig暂放在fpx基地被tes预订的一直属于rng却是edg最想要的奖杯。

    Raise the trophy LGD, raise the trophy that was temporarily left by IG at FPX base, reserved by TES, belonging to RNG, but always been wanted by EDG.

    小花生想通了,多打一轮赚大的。

    peanut got it figured out, he's going to play one more series to earn big.

    好消息是lgd打败了V3

    坏消息是后面没V3了。

    the good news is lgd beat V3

    the bad new is there are no more V3

    Yasuo fan skin concept

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 11:22 AM PDT

    Yasuo fan skin concept

    Hello!

    I recently made a fan skin concept for Yasuo under an insect theme.

    This was part of a challenge I tried to take on recently in which I get 3 random characters from different IPs and try to make them fit under one same direction. I got Yasuo and I thought it would be a good idea to make a whole character sheet out of it. I hope you enjoy it!

    Have a nice day everyone.

    Appreciation post for Captain Flowers

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 02:49 AM PDT

    I know he definitely isn't underrated and I have always been a fan but I just wanted to highlight his way with words. In the past he has always been a great caster who was capable of really hyping up plays and was able to put the crowd on the edge of their seat. What I really appreciate here is that a lot of the games he has casted thus far in play ins aren't that intense because they are often on sided and is obviously missing the on set crowd. What he has done a phenomenal job in so far imo, is that he can just keep on talking and i keep wondering where he is going with his sentences and it always makes sense and he never makes pauses in his sentences. I know this kinda sounds not that noteworthy, its just that i noticed that he fills the blanks so nicely so far without it being annoying chit chat or ever getting really boring. He has this skill of coming up with stuff where i wouldnt know how to close out the sentence without ever stumbling or ever having to pause to look for a word. I feel like the other casters do often have to take a small pause and think about where they wanna go with this and i never seems to notice this about him. Yeah dont know if anyone feels the same, i just wanted to put that out there.

    Orome talks about MAD Lions' shaky start "I think we don't adapt to a new style very quickly" and readjusting to playing on-stage matches: "There is so much that's new to us and impairs our playing ability. If we managed to reach our scrim level, we would be chilling."

    There is a flaw in the ranked system that is placing new players into smurf queue

    Posted: 27 Sep 2020 02:32 PM PDT

    This is ruining games for many new players and they don't know where to go to talk about the problems because they are new. I just got my friend into the game and he was complaining about being placed with people who were much better than him and that his queues were last 10+ minutes.

    And after investigation, I found the problem.

    Riot scruffy tweeted this about a week ago. https://imgur.com/a/V3JFbHm

    How smurf queue works is that it takes into account your visible rank and your mmr and if there is a big gap between it, it puts you into smurf queue.

    Here comes the problem though. Riot by design in placements, puts your visible rank much lower than your MMR. Well the game now from the get-go picks you up as a smurf and you are now in smurf queue as a new player. And it just happens that most of the new accounts in league of legends are smurfs so the 1~2 unlucky actual new players are getting absolutely fucked.

    This also applies if you are not new but playing ranked this time for the first time (after being ranked in previous seasons) because you have to go through placements and Riot applied soft reset at the beginning of the season meaning your visible ranked again is much lower than your mmr because you are in placements.

    The system has the right intentions but it's causing indirect problems to new players and returning players who are playing ranked for the first time in season 10. There are way too many cases of non smurfing players getting placed in smurf queue. This change should have absolutely not happened when everyone is trying to rank up at for season awards and should have happened during pre season. The timing of this change more than anything baffles me.

    Here is proof:

    https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=InevesesI

    • New player, playing ranked this season for the first time thrown into smurf queue due to how placements work. This player finally played enough games to get out of smurf queue but if you scroll down to this game -> https://imgur.com/gallery/uJvcGYq you can see that he was in smurf queue after 10.19 hit (all 9 other players were smurfs).

    https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=Lxpu

    • here is another player that was thrown into smurf queue from their first ranked game this season who was clearly not a smurf. Proving players who are in placements are getting thrown into smurf queue from the very beginning because placements by design put your visible rank way below your mmr.

    https://imgur.com/gallery/n98XMpz

    • match on the bottom was before 4 days ago and match on the top is after 10.19. A whole tier drop in average rank in game because this player was thrown into smurf queue

    https://imgur.com/gallery/ctjy9yI

    • as you can see this account is new, and there is no way this system picked up that this player was a smurf in 12 games even if he was a smurf
