The KKK incident happened during LCK spring 2016 on Feb. 24th. ROXT vs SBENU lck spring 2016. Link to the game: You can see the crowd at 5:47 ruclips.net/video/uq_zOoc2jvc/видео.html
I still love what Dom was saying on the stream w/ yamato: "chovy misses one cannon and all the fans are like 'should we kill him?' and Beryl can flash rell ult into the whole enemy team completely ruining the game and they'll just go 'haha Beryl GIGACHAD'" Killed me.
This is by far my favourite podcast of LFN. Clean, straight to the point, small to none ranting (not against it, just that some people extend it a bit too much). Dropped watching the other LFN podcasts on these topics since this is the most clean and consolidated. If you watch all of them, it ends up getting annoying since the guys keep repeating themselves over the same topics and its exhausting probably for them and the for viewers. Thanks for having this format :)
yeah it's almost as if we as viewers just want analysis and good discussions between LoL experts and not an old weirdo talking for 2 hours about how a guy from twitter insulted him
As much as I love Yamato, and watching his 'Sack Down' with Dom, there's just something about Monte that enhances Power Spike to another level IMO. ofc I will watch the series regardless who's on it though as they're both great hosts
Just a matter of experience really, the total number of years these three guys have been doing podcasts combined is getting close to 3 decades. Give Yamato some time on the sack down and he will be fine
Yeah for sure. I don’t mind it with Yamato, but now powerspike is just full vibes and everyone agrees on everything. When dom makes a point, Yamato just says it again in other words which is super boring xD It’s still a good podcast, but compared to dom and monte having the best arguments because of different opinions, Yamato replacement just looks mid 😅
@@tinecchi3648 I do like Yamato's content but even if they don't completely agree their viewpoints are similar especially since they seem to discuss so often. It works well for their new interview show for example but here I really enjoy having monte's perspective on things especially bcs he's def not afraid to say what he thinks.
Montecristo be tired every time you do the shows because you're humor and personality is much more relaxed. 👍 I heard 100 Thieves are starring in a new movie where they go back to the 1950s and lose to R7. Its titled "Gap To The Future."
yes the way it was pronounced before or after lpl is irrelevant. the way it is pronounced is the way the player who created it says it is. i don't know what that is though
Yep, he only insists on saying Zika to be stubborn. The guy who called him Zika in the LPL is the same guy who says Orangee instead of RNG, if he wrongly pronounced it Zika instead of Zeka then that's on him for not doing his job right, he could have simply asked for the correct pronunciation. It's simple, it's "Jeka" in Korean so it's Zeka in English.
Im no nativ Englisch speaker but isent a fraud some1 that people think and pretends is good? Novody expected anything from 100t they ade no frauds just trash
1:47:18 The LPL casters were pronouncing his name wrong tho, they didnt just rename him. The Chinese LPL casters called Zeka the same way the LCK casters do and Zeka himself refers to himself as "Zeka" not "Zeeka".
The problem I have with "just add more LCK and LPL teams to Worlds, the best teams deserve to go" is that it basically defeats the purpose of "WORLDS". If we were to let the best teams play, it'll just be LCK-LPL Rift Rivals
Eh nah I don't think below the 5th place LCK team is actually better than the best western seeds The real problem is the minor regions wouldn't have repersentation
Being a jungler i really enjoy when dom goes in depth with jungle plays and scenarios. I was wondering if there was any way you guys could start implementing like screen cutaways to clips when you guys start covering specific game scenarios etc etc. idk if you have a live editor/producer lurking when you guys do these things
It is 100000% due to all the bad blood between him and riot. Dude legit had his own team on the LCS. He loved it no matter what he says. It's a business spite thing now
I'm completely baffled about the play ins skarner tips Dom is giving. I'm a pisslow player and using the passive, Q holding and E properly. How do pros not?
I dont understand the Zeka part? Zeka (the midlaner) calls himself Jeka?? Its literally his name what he calls himself. Should the names just be what the person who has the name calls it?
Shout out Philly fans who win or lose will literally riot to the point they have to close down the city sometimes prematurely in preparation for the havoc they will cause.
i stopped smoking weed , and i was starting to sweat like crazy in my pits , detoxing , and i shit you not i used mando yesterday because it just came in, and im selling so fresh right now , MT fuji body wash with forest deodorant, im selling fresh boii ,
To be fair boston is the most winning city in sports BUT im from western mass and the fans are generally annoying as are most people from boston/eastern mass
To counter Monte saying Swiss format sucks… I think it’s actually good for viewership and entertainment purposes to give NA & EU a slight edge for rewarding their #1 seeds with vs play in teams in round 1 to give them a better shot of going further. LPL & LCK teams had all year to play each other. It gives more emphasis and reward to actually winning the summer split in each of those leagues while also allowing the 3 other teams to come to the tournament to compete. Feels like the perfect balance between entertainment and competitive balance
Another rebuttal to this, lets look at Flyquest as an example. Flyquest beats GAM, they are 1-0. They get to play against G2 next, and lets hypothetically say they are now 2-0. NOW here is the tricky part. They have to face another 3-0 team. They will most likely lose a best of 3 series to one of these teams. Then they have to face a 2-1 team that is not TL or G2. I highly doubt Pain or GAM will come back and win their next two games. Leaving for the next 2 series, Flyquest playing against Korean / Chinese teams.
@@tycorbin576 yeah I mean it’s still worlds and you can’t run from the Asian teams forever… I’m just saying it’s not the worst thing to tilt the scales in the west’s favor just slightly enough that they can show some strength and competitive play instead of getting thrown into a group with BLG, GEN & PSG where the only chance they have is to beat PSG once or twice like how the format used to be
MDK loosing to BLG is the expected. So i don't know why Twitter should say anything. Crazy is saying in the beginning of the yeat that MDK sucks and they actually managed to get to worlds.
I don't get the cone hat being an issue, it's not like the whole world knows what the kkk is tbh.. Korea certainly don't know! I mean the swastika is a buddhist symbol that doesn't hold the same meaning as it does to the west
I mean, the english broadcast caters primarily to a western european or north american audience who both would have some idea. if it's the korean broadcast then who cares, but it's not a good look for the english crew. I think the way it was handled was fine.
The cone hat isn’t even racist. It’s just a certain group that made it look racist. I know they have a catholic ceremony in Spain where people dress up like the KKK but it has no correlation to the KKK beside that they were both Christian’s
Monte sure has a strong opinion about swiss format. I'd think the teams are more relaxed about it. Some teams will have an easier first match than others, but opponents will surely get harder as the tournament proceeds. And any team that is serious about winning Worlds will have a mentality that they should be ready to win against anyone. ps. Beryl is not the right answer, but it's still a solid answer.
USA has to understand that words or letters can have other meanings outside their country, you can not ban a word or a bunch of letters simply because at some point in history it meant something bad. That logic would lead to eventually ban everything.
no but they can explain the meaning and refuse to participate in wearing KKK hoods while everything is branded KKK lol im Canadian but if i held an event and had Armenians come over and i used to not my knowledge used something clearly connected to the genocide, i wouldnt tell the people i asked to wear multiple symbols of it to just get over it lol.
the name pronouncing thing... I think ppl should respect what the Player wants to be called. this is nothing against IWD, but I just want to say this in general, bcos having both English and Mandarin (Chinese) as my native languages (Taiwanese/Kiwi from NZ)... A lot of names are mispronounced.. like Azhi and JunJia which are actually phonetic translations of their real/knick names. We all understand these names can be difficult if u don't know the language, so it's fine. But names like Zeus, I KNOW how the GOD is supposed to be pronounced in English (I dont speak Korean more Greek so I dunno how they'd say it) but I'll respect Ze-us if that's how he likes to be called... so the same with Zeka and anyone else for that matter. Plus, I think it's polite to ask ppl how they prefer to have their names pronounced(if in doubt), even under everyday circumstances anywayz...
I think the format is not that bad. Yes the first matchups are easier for some of the western/lesser teams but you still have to win 3 games. The LPL/LCK teams that lose first games will just get easier opponents as it goes along. Everyone is just focusing on the first matchups, it does not tell the whole story AT ALL!
Lmao KT could have been disqualified last year after playing only vs Lpl/lck while NRG qualified by playing only vs non Lpl/Lck. Guess what? NRG was absolute shit in quarters, who would have guessed?
I feel like dgon need to push back a little bit every now and then I appreciate everyone on this episode but like cmon man The whole yeah this player has been playing "professional" league for x amount of years (all in academy or college teams or whatever not major leagues basically) so if they fail they're not gonna grow we shouldn't give them a pass for this and be like eastern fans If we did that to yeon or apa they wouldn't have been as great as they are today if we did that to bussio he wouldn't be a champ today if we did that to ESPECIALLY bwipo he wouldn't have been playing at worlds Rn or how many times inspired choked (EG 0-9 anyone remember that?) yet all these players kept putting in the work and they kept learning more and getting better and better no matter how old they got or how long they have been playing Also eastern fans are shit and we should never try to copy that and the league will be depressing if we do Do you ever wonder why they always have the most pr answers to literally everything? I just saw a Dom video in his clip channel where he was so bored with a quiz they did for lck players about worlds and stuff and no one said anything interesting besides showmaker Because if they say anything remotely offensive to ANYONE they immediately get flamed by the fans and face extreme amount of backlash bro LS literally was kicked out of T1 only because the fans didn't like that he's gay
idm the format tbh. every one is being treated fairly and equally. (ofc i know that 1st place in lck isnt the same as 1st place in lcs) makes it more hype for viewers to watch and they'll keep drawing until all teams are qualified/eliminated. rlly good that theyre not letting rematches happen as well (ie. lck vs lck). idk this compared to the previous years..... is just better imo and i think we'll get a couple "upsets" this year who knows
I just want to know why Dom keeps pronouncing Zeka as "Zika". Don't you know that English is the only language in which the letter "E" is pronounced "I" ? Same thing with "Zeus" : it's literally spelled and pronounced "Z-E-U-S" yet you keep pronouncing it "Zus"... do you even know how to read ?
Eh pronunciation is not static as annoying as it is. Like LS pronounces aatrox as ah-trox despite multiple voice lines saying ay-trox, some people pronounce yone as yown, when yasuo says yo-nay, in the cinematics. It’s not something you can really change. Hell, I tend to say “no” more as naur than “know.” Don’t know why, just happens that way.
@@davidmduccsince the existence of the game, NA has done close to nothing of note. Beating EU 20% of the time becomes their biggest achievement. What a legacy. 🤣
Brazilians already proved they can provide some upsets, like they won against Alliance and EDG. I wouldn't count PNG out against G2, honestly. Specially in a BO1, a format in which consistency is not a factor.
Entiendo el razonamiento pero en la mayoría de los deportes la suerte del el draw es un componente, de hecho es una de las cosas que le agrega emoción a las competiciones. El entretenimiento es el rey, el elitismo queda en segundo, a veces 3er plano es la realidad. Deal with It. Es aburrido escuchar sobre el formato 👎🏼
Nobody: MonteCristo for the last 6 months: "IF THIS WERE REAL SPORTS PEOPLE WOULD ASK WHY MVP QUID IS UNDERPERFORMING!!!" Jfc christ lil bro get more talking points or just stop appearing on podcasts at all

There is no way this is real
The week after they wanted the crowd to wear white coats to the cone heads i suppose
I can't believe i've never seen this jesus christ that story was hilarious

So what you’re saying is that Faker was the KKK LCK Champion… *THATS WHY’S HE’S THE GOAT*
"KKK incident" 😂
that was 8 years ago, fuck me man...
Ah. Back in the good days. When you could be racist as a joke and people laughed instead of being offended
This was taken way out of context because the company confirmed it was KKC not KKK when this was done so its not racist.
Oh man, Monte was on a tear today i love it. His Gap puns were next level.
I still love what Dom was saying on the stream w/ yamato: "chovy misses one cannon and all the fans are like 'should we kill him?' and Beryl can flash rell ult into the whole enemy team completely ruining the game and they'll just go 'haha Beryl GIGACHAD'" Killed me.

We go nuts for the cynical takes! Down with the west
Also Yamato's mic is straight up trash, couple that with his high testo voice and it's unbearable
yamato is very very curious maybe thats why
Funnily enough I think Monte ruins this show. If they had Thooorin this show would be the best in history of league
Might send you guys a real jersey too if you predict us to win Worlds
PNG - DK - BLG 3-0 straight to Quarters see you next week
I didn’t even get a mini jersey. I hope you lose to NA again.
I'll admit i love the unspoken implication FNC will lose to DK in order for DK to meet you in the 1-0 draw stage xD

Monte was actually on fire this episode with the roasting my god!
This whole Zeka/Zeka debate is so stupid, and legit everyone is wrong that I have ever heard say his name. It's obvious pronounced Zeka, come on now.
Lol
I don’t understand the Zeka argument from Dom’s side, people have been mispronouncing it before

I don't know why yall dont have an NFL show with Dgon, Monte, Dom, Thorin and Richard Lewis since you guys all watch it. I would tune in and support.
Swiss system makes it easier for similarly skilled opponents to face off against each other, which is partially what fans want to see though.
Only if the teams are previously properly ranked
@@jalc884 That's true, but towards later part of bracket the more even skilled opponents should face off.

48:30 Dom is right about Quid. It was on him to step up
Dom basically said Umti has a chip implanted in his head when he hears execute order 66 he throws the game so Korea can win lol
The problem I have with "just add more LCK and LPL teams to Worlds, the best teams deserve to go" is that it basically defeats the purpose of "WORLDS". If we were to let the best teams play, it'll just be LCK-LPL Rift Rivals
Eh nah I don't think below the 5th place LCK team is actually better than the best western seeds
The real problem is the minor regions wouldn't have repersentation

Lmao Monte was on fire on the 100T roast
1:46:52 Dom finally addressing some of the gaping lack of knowledge DGon has of professional League is really cathartic
He never claims to be an expert that’s why he’s the host as he said around 36:00
I have eaten 꼬깔콘 all my life and somehow never ever, EVER made that relation. Snack life will never be the same as a Korean.
It's strange Monte not being a fan of his own region tbh
I feel like it has a lot to do with Riot staff being chiefly in NA and iirc he lives in Asia for some time
Is the Region you support just the place you're born from?
It is 100000% due to all the bad blood between him and riot. Dude legit had his own team on the LCS. He loved it no matter what he says. It's a business spite thing now

Because if they say anything remotely offensive to ANYONE they immediately get flamed by the fans and face extreme amount of backlash bro LS literally was kicked out of T1 only because the fans didn't like that he's gay
Monte isn't he 17 hahahahah
idm the format tbh. every one is being treated fairly and equally. (ofc i know that 1st place in lck isnt the same as 1st place in lcs)
makes it more hype for viewers to watch and they'll keep drawing until all teams are qualified/eliminated. rlly good that theyre not letting rematches happen as well (ie. lck vs lck). idk this compared to the previous years..... is just better imo and i think we'll get a couple "upsets" this year who knows
At least Boston wins
I just want to know why Dom keeps pronouncing Zeka as "Zika". Don't you know that English is the only language in which the letter "E" is pronounced "I" ? Same thing with "Zeus" : it's literally spelled and pronounced "Z-E-U-S" yet you keep pronouncing it "Zus"... do you even know how to read ?
Eh pronunciation is not static as annoying as it is. Like LS pronounces aatrox as ah-trox despite multiple voice lines saying ay-trox, some people pronounce yone as yown, when yasuo says yo-nay, in the cinematics. It’s not something you can really change. Hell, I tend to say “no” more as naur than “know.” Don’t know why, just happens that way.
Bold of u to assume english as a language has systematic pronunciation
Dom cares about Zeka Zika but doesn’t call Zeus the way it’s supposed to be (it’s not only god Zeus but partially includes his real name Choi Woo Je)
I mean if the best teams in the world all went it would end up like 6 vs 6 Lpl vs Lck. No casual fan wants to see that. Its entertainment.
NA = Never Accepting their minor region status.
Does that mean there’s only two major regions?
EU = Eating delUsion when they're a 0 team region.
@@davidmduccNA no team region they are minions 🤡
@@davidmduccsince the existence of the game, NA has done close to nothing of note. Beating EU 20% of the time becomes their biggest achievement. What a legacy. 🤣
👍
Brazilians already proved they can provide some upsets, like they won against Alliance and EDG. I wouldn't count PNG out against G2, honestly. Specially in a BO1, a format in which consistency is not a factor.
IWD most likely I Wanna Die or something. Can the guy be happy
Entiendo el razonamiento pero en la mayoría de los deportes la suerte del el draw es un componente, de hecho es una de las cosas que le agrega emoción a las competiciones.
El entretenimiento es el rey, el elitismo queda en segundo, a veces 3er plano es la realidad. Deal with It.
Es aburrido escuchar sobre el formato 👎🏼
Why don't the Koreans play dota2?
Can someone explain the KKK white cone hat joke? As a none white person, I don't follow
The only people who categorize players skills on world champion titles are T1 fanboys themselves
