    Preseason Mid Lane Changes from Riot Scruffy

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 04:27 PM PDT

    /u/RiotScruffy tweeted:

    Another non items related Preseason Preview before PBE. We're testing a very simplified version of a midlane agency reduction.

    Small resource reduction and stronger push threat to punish roaming excessively.

    Mid lane Agency

    -Mid lane cannons are worth 10 less gold for the first 14 minutes.

    -Mid lane cannons gain 30% additional attack speed when attacking towers.

    Worlds viewership already reached over 1 million peak viewers in the PSG vs LGD game

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 05:25 AM PDT

    Pretty crazy to have this peak reaching numbers of FNC vs G2 only in play-ins on the first day. With Liquid vs Mad Lions only coming up now that seems like very good numbers Edit: forgot to put the link for escharts in so here you go: https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/2020-world-championship

    I know a lot of people will say that everything below Challenger is trash or NA LUL, but I made Master tier yesterday and I'm super proud of it!

    I've been playing since season 3, haven't made it past Diamond the past 4 seasons, but finally this season I zoomed up to Master tier!

    If you are seeing this post again, sorry! I had to repost because it got removed for using under 500 characters.

    I attribute a lot of my success to spamming one champion/role (for me it was Nunu jungle, he's absolutely nuts) and really focusing on my gameplay and improvement. I started streaming a few months back and honestly that really made me focus more on talking about my win conditions, my game plan, and our path to winning the game, no matter how behind we were. Also, I always try to put out a positive attitude, and that really helped me tilt less. So for anyone out there who's having trouble climbing, you don't have to stream, but I'd really recommend narrating your games to yourself!

    Get Ready for Good Old Chinese Reactions on LGD

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 05:24 AM PDT

    HUPU:https://bbs.hupu.com

    Reverse advance from group

    Waste spot. Go home.

    It's been so long... The familiar feeling has came back.

    Xiye, this trash is actually hilarious.

    fucking embarassing

    I heard top 1 region gonna slaugther play ins?

    Peanut is only good compared to ning

    Played so fucking bad

    "we lpl is too strong!"

    The blame is on Ning

    The real problem is how bad IG and FPX are

    LGD, don't even compare with my TSM, some ppl even say peanut gonna smash spica, LMAO

    Xiye ate beef noodle

    S5 again? Will they get eliminated in play ins?

    haha, just saw someone saying pick any 5 one tricks in super server still can advance from playins

    everyone laughing at EDG, but in the end everyone is EDG

    Weibo comments:

    Do more ads

    s10=2x S5

    Embarassing!!

    Can't even beat a temporary team

    FYI, their main players aren't even up yet

    https://www.weibo.com/lgdlol?topnav=1&wvr=6&topsug=1

    LGD Weibo ( 5000 comments after 25 minutes)

    Do you know how to spell embarassed?

    I'm fucking embarassed in front of the monitor

    why are you so bad

    S5 again, it's my fault that I have hope on you

    Reacting to PSG's Roast : https://twitter.com/PSG_Talon/status/1309466773243088896?s=20

    Although pissed, but couldn't find any reasoning to refute ( A very classic Clearlove's quote known as the bible in LPL come from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM492BOrNfY&t=1m23s , I laughed every single time while watching this video )

    [Edits: Add more comments]

    [Edit 2 : For people saying that I only picked the most hateful comments, the majority of the comments are criticising the team and being sarcastic on the arrogant attitude of the region as a whole. Even on weibo which imo is the most player-friendly site, the fans are criticising the team. Yes, I tried to pick the interesting ones and the most upvoted at the same time, but I didn't twist the majority's opinion]

    G2 secret's strategy to win worlds got leaked

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 07:52 AM PDT

    We know how G2 can finally break-up the curse of being 3-0'd in finals by LPL.

    It all starts with the LEC helping PSG keeping Kongyue and Uniboy. For it to happen, they send Bwipo upon River and Tank so he can use his ancestral technique of wrist breaking.Now, the ultimate PCS team is complete. With Hanabi in the roster, they've got Flash Wolves soul with them, making them LCK's doom, and after what we saw today, they're definitely LPL's kryptonite. We're reddit, it's fine to overreact after just 1 game.

    With PSG, UOL, TL and MAD are making it out of play-in (LGD has a curse to shit the bed at worlds, TL has a tactical buff).Now, thanks to some Group-draw sabotage, PSG is send to group B, locking the spot for the others (UOL in C, TL in A and MAD in D).

    It's big brain time. PSG will start to fulfill its prophecy by 2-0ing both DWG and JDG, while RGE will manage to win one game vs both and 2-0 PSG.RGE will get a tiebreaker vs PSG. We love ties in EU so we win those, and RGE grabs 1st seed.

    For other groups, it'll go like that :

    • Suning and G2 - G2 can't be first in their group, it is known.
    • FNC and GenG - UOL gets honorary EU, and since we all know EU gooder than NA, they'll kick TSM out. In order to counter Thorin's massive boner and wave of tweet because TSM bombed out off group stage, FNC has to be 1st otherwise the universe will lose its balance.
    • TES and FLY - Doran doesn't have Sword stealing his food anymore, so he gets too heavy and breaks Deft's back in the process, kicking DRX out. FLY will get to kick MAD out thanks to turtle's slow and steady approach, forgetting to ban Evelynn and because Solo can finally play League of Legends since MAD doesn't really know toplane exists.

    Once again, sabotaging the draw is crucial coming into Knock-out stage, as it's the final star aligning moment we need for G2 to win worlds 100%.

    1. SNG vs PSG. As we saw earlier, they're the LPL's kryptonite so they'll win.
    2. TES vs GenG. GenG got the chance to redeem themselves for 2018 group stage, so they can go back to LCK's new trend of losing at worlds.
    3. FNC vs FLY. It's time to use our sleeper agents Santorin, Ignar and Po€. They'll run it down, but FNC will somehow manage to lose one game.
    4. RGE vs G2. We all know G2 will go 0-2 in order to get Perkz's buff with his comfort zone for the reverse sweep.

    The dream is in motion. PSG will end up the job by getting rid off the last LPL team at worlds. After that it's a G2 vs FNC match, and we all know that it'll go 2-2, G2 will stop sandbagging and let Jankos play instead of G2 Mexicano.

    Finally it's happening. PSG vs G2 in finals.We decide it's time. PSG gets to be named "honorary EU team". The plan is complete.EU vs EU finals means it's like LEC. Only G2 and FNC can win LEC.

    G2 is the world champion, EU gets to win worlds again (Phreak's basement count guys).

    Wunder can go back to his WoW Raid, Jankos can ask a Lee Sin skin, and Carlos can finally add "Owner of a world winning team" on his resume, right after "I got backdoored by xPeke".

    In the distance, we can see FNC reading reddit's idea of genetically modifying Hylissang and Bwipo in order to remove the int.

    (It's my first post on reddit, and especially a satire one so I apologize in advance for a bad formating. Also the spoiler tag is for people who didn't get to see the first games yet)

    Thanks to social distancing players on worlds are sitting further away from each other. This indirectly buffs Nocturne.

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 04:35 AM PDT

    Players often look at their teammates screens during Nocturne's ult to get a grasp of what's happening. With bigger distances between screens and players it's much harder to use multiple screens to counter Noc's ult.

    Is this the first time the change of set up indirectly impacts the champion balance in pro levels?

    EDIT To all the people saying you can call out where Nocturne is. Yes, but you still can't see much of the map during a teamfight when Nocturne ults. It's more about being able to see everywhere where your teammates can see. Landing long range spells/engages with flash and knowing how the fight is going (hp bars), what spells have been used. It's much more than just knowing where Nocturne is going.

    This is by far the best Worlds stage we've seen

    Holyyy this stage just looks so clean, especially the screens in the background. The champ select looks hype too.

    Worlds Champ Select Is Horrible

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 01:09 AM PDT

    I like that they adopted the LEC-style bottom of the screen type of champ select, but why would you ever switch the team members on the right side around? This goes against anything i have seen in the last eight years of league.

    It just makes the champ select confusing as hell to look at. What do you think?

    EDIT: Just to clarify, my main issue is with the red side team's members being mirrored, so the support is close to the middle and the toplaner to the right. When red side first picks their champ, it will be displayed on the very right of the screen, which is extremely unusual.

    EDIT2: Since people seem to have an issue with the word "horrible", let me just say that it is a really, really bad change. It makes champ select difficult to look at. Saying "just get used to it" doesnt make sense to me, why change something that people have been used to for the literal entire existence of the game. I want to take a quick look at the champ select, instantly know whats going on and what point of the draft the teams are at.

    [Thread] (Voice of American Rift Friends) Reddit discusses PSG defeating LGD: We're back to 2015; Xiye is trash

    • 有史以来lpl就edg和LGD输过入围赛，psg还是一个临时组装队，首发都不齐，太丢人了，真是耻辱 (Only EDG and LGD has ever lost in play-ins in the history of LPL, and PSG is temporarily assembled, they don't even have their starters. Too embarrassing, it's actually shameful)
    • 从小到大各种比赛，心里想的都是"输谁都不能输湾湾"，真的…输给UOL都没这么气人 (The thing on my mind watching competitions since I was a kid was always "we can lose to anybody, but we can't lose to the WanWans. Seriously... I'd be less mad if we lost to UOL)

    Just came across this, what do people think?

    https://www.hotspawn.com/conflict-of-interest-psg-talon-lgd-gaming/

    Just a recent article I came upon highlighting the existing partnership between LGD and PSG. Interesting and personally regardless of what events happened today in worlds - this is a partnership/deal that should have been looked at more closely by Riot.

    Champ Select Stats After Day 1 of Worlds 2020 Play-In Stage

    Posted: 25 Sep 2020 08:17 AM PDT

    Worlds 2020 is obviously in its early stages, but I thought it would be interesting to look at pick/ban and win rates thus far. Here are some general takeaways and a then a full list of the stats.

    • Ashe was picked four times and went 0-4 on the day
    • Jungle had the most variance — nine different champions were picked in that role, with the outlier being Shad0w's Evelynn ;)
