@@6baltej6 Yeah it was weird, Thooorin and Monte switched roles where Monte is the host leading conversation and Thooorin is just an analyst (role within the podcast, I don't think he calls himself a LoL analyst since he's a CSGO specialist)
@@zeitecsmith2875 I think as the eps and worlds go on he will be able to express more. He's new to it, and new to the meta that league is now. Honestly I still think it's better/correct to play league like they did in the past, just they need to figure out how to get through all the early stuff first. Once it's figured out league will go back, unless Riot keep making big changes to the game that act as mini resets.
@@iRiDiKi That's so weird, but as I was reading the beginning of your comment, Monte was just saying that exact same thing (I assume you took it from him, but that's not important) at 32:48. So freaky.
I miss Monte and Monte's laugh so much (especially the Monte antics)!! Monte, hope you're doing well. I hate what Riot did to you, and wish some how we can have you back permanently.
Having Thorin and Monte in a league show is one of the best ways to wanting to know more stuff about league. So entertaining and informative at the same time SI I love it.
This is straight nostalgia from back when I used to throw this on in the background and pretend I could be a league analyst and crack a cold one with the boys. Now it's like 5 years later... Still kind of pretending.
@@kadenkoepnick434 I think LGD was correctly hyped after LPL won MSI that year, they were the 1st seed afterall, even though they massively disappointed and was made a meme DWG on the other hand didn't do jack shit but was already predicted to be a top 4/5 team at Worlds
@@DuelMp5 Ah I thought you meant overrated based on worlds results. I'm not gonna claim to be some LCK expert but from what I've seen DWG is underperforming pretty hard so far in worlds. They were a top team in korea for the summer split and had to beat some solid teams to make it to worlds so it's not like they've done nothing to be rated as a decent team.
holy moly, even better than the return of SI, is SI with a ton of episodes scheduled in the works. OWL offseason ironically means Monte can put a bunch of time into league show haha
Something I haven't seen mentioned on any of the talk shows I've watched is in the GAM - SPY matchup that gives Splyce a boost: Jensen Goh helps coach them. If anyone watches and knows about GAM, it's him.
For the next episode is it possible to have a better qualaty upload ? even if u have to upscale the footage, the image qualaty willl be better since the compression ratio will not be so agressive
the caller section was truly the top prospects of the gaming community showing up. multiple silent idiots, one dude just laughed and DCed, lag all around
I havent really followed Monte since he left the league scene but it seems like he was having such a good time here at this show. Can anyone confirm if hes laughed this much in overwatch videos? Im glad hes doing this again even if its just for worlds :^)
I truly believe samsung white is the best team we have ever seen. The pure dominance they showed on the worlds stage over every team was insane. They were blowing every team out in 30 minutes or less because their aggressive early game-mid game was so scary. Skt 2015 was a close second.
Monte, you are a Blizzard employee. As a caster, freedom of speech must be valued highly for you. Could you comment on the recent fiesta of Blizzard (obviously Riot too) banning player from speaking up for HK. Thank you.
Thorin having legs is somehow just wrong.
For real it feels really strange
Theyre not actually his legs, he's got a leg double
his pants :O
FAKE! This is all CGI
WTF are you talking about, his legs shows all the time on CS caster desks.
Cloud 9 literally legendary for getting Thorin heavily involved with worlds
Despite having a high production value show with everyone on location, still no timestamps. Never change

Just became C9 fan
Good investment 👍👍👍👍👍👍
WTF? its back? wtf?
YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Alec Rast The Organizations name is Cloud9 not Cloud 9. This is not an automated reddit reply bot

Making league of legends feel like home again. The best show on the internet.
It could be if they let Monte solo lead show,and trow out this idiot Thorin
He's given all these production tools but yet they're still allowing them to be themselves with no filter banter when they talk I love this.
Obviously they're a bit soft on C9 but still thoorin being honest with their chances.
I'm not used to seeing legs. It's distracting.
aka thorins thicc thighs and locos moose knuckle.
So used to just seeing them as head and shoulders in pixelated webcams
I miss Monte and Monte's laugh so much (especially the Monte antics)!! Monte, hope you're doing well. I hate what Riot did to you, and wish some how we can have you back permanently.
same
its better this way, now he can voice his actual opinion. not his riot filtered opinion.
When you're hanging out with your old best friend who you kinda like more than your new best friend
Dom is so well spoken. I really enjoy it when he does content with this crew. They should get him in more often!
Well... it happened.
Just not in the way we expected
@@samueltunnicliffe7012 REALLY not in the way we expected!

that intro was fun
Never in my life would I ever thought I'd see Thorins legs
“You and Thorin have to play nice”
*Pushes him in the first 30 seconds*
I need Montecristo & DOA on an analyst desk covering league of legends again
Haven't really watched league of legends since season 4, and wow seeing this production value is amazing!
@DastardlyMuffins its somehow worse
@DastardlyMuffins the production value is way worse now than it was before. The meta has changed but this has nothing to do with the meta
@DastardlyMuffins the last 2 worlds have had awful production, even simple things have been done poorly.
I was sure I stayed subbed on this channel for a reason. Here it is.
The old gangs back. And so am i
This is straight nostalgia from back when I used to throw this on in the background and pretend I could be a league analyst and crack a cold one with the boys. Now it's like 5 years later... Still kind of pretending.
Monte saving Thorins career quickly moving on from the wukong joke
Free Wukong. Fuck Chinese owned Rito.
I thought he was going for the old regi wukong meme and that it would be regi jumping on loco
I'm so glad we get Monte back at least in some capacity. The "Pooping back and forth forever" comment about SPY was amazing.
Love it! Thank you to our hosts and Cloud 9 for putting this together!
Monty and Thooorin on league again, so legendary, worth my 3 hours! THANKS C9
This is fantastic I’m so happy to have monte back! but we need time stamps in the description or pinned comments please C9
Haydn xo xotwod
the full production is so cool
Lamo coming back for the scrilla makes it so fitting
It seems Loco took a bath. Good for him
What about you? U smell like idiot all over the net!
Looking forward to the second week, I think they'll get progressively better
Thorin had polio as a child so those must be prosthetic legs
I haven't even played LoL seriously for a long time or barely even touched it, but I am hyped af for this
Rare magic when these guys get together. They are all real ones. Never change
So great to see this! Missed you guys so much. ❤️
i never got so excited for a talk show about league until I heard about this
What is the best way to support this work? Thank you for bringing SI back
Watching this after Day 1, Dom hit the nail on the head with the Team Liquid vs Damwon matchup!
Finally the league villains are back!
SUMMONING INSIGHT, LETS GO BABY! Thank you Cloud 9!
17:05 History between Loco & Repeared during their professional days-- leads into an inside joke about TSM Wukong.
Thank you Cloud9 for making this happen
Great you have you back Monte and Thorin.
Thanks c9 for this, I'm very grateful we can see the trio back
This shit is amazing, I would love for this to continue on for a long time :)
This is what I needed to get hyped for worlds!
wtf is this? Actual production values? Bring back skype calls on NA to EU connections
I seriously love Dom's rant on DWG, they are probably the most overrated team I've ever seen coming into Worlds
LGD season 5 was worse
@@kadenkoepnick434 I think LGD was correctly hyped after LPL won MSI that year, they were the 1st seed afterall, even though they massively disappointed and was made a meme

I will wait, apparently the first seed of China want to compete for that title
G2 is the most overrated team.
Good banter, but also informative. Can't wait for the next episode.
This show is so clean. Part from thorin and monte finger gesturing to production 😆
It takes 1 new episode for the Wukong hot take.
I’ve missed this so much! Hopefully Doa comes on as a guest!
C9 the real winners of worlds for bringing this back
holy moly, even better than the return of SI, is SI with a ton of episodes scheduled in the works. OWL offseason ironically means Monte can put a bunch of time into league show haha
Loco is sitting so awkwardly, but its good to be back. Lowkey worried listen loco was done.
Back in the game!!!
THERE WE GO!
WELCOME BACK!!!!!
This is the best content for League period
Hopefully this will continue on once worlds is done, even if it is on a bi-weekly or monthly schedule
Something I haven't seen mentioned on any of the talk shows I've watched is in the GAM - SPY matchup that gives Splyce a boost: Jensen Goh helps coach them. If anyone watches and knows about GAM, it's him.
this is so strange seeing them all in full version not just the upper body version
monte back, always good content with him/thorin/loco
Imagine if deft and knight were at worlds
This show is so damn hype. Thanks for the content
this is the best league show pleasge let dom be a regular guest :pepehands
Guess who's back? Back again
Monte's back. Don't tell Rito
THAT INTRO WAS INSANE
For the next episode is it possible to have a better qualaty upload ? even if u have to upscale the footage, the image qualaty willl be better since the compression ratio will not be so agressive
the caller section was truly the top prospects of the gaming community showing up. multiple silent idiots, one dude just laughed and DCed, lag all around
Dominate is a great guest, great show
Yes. The boys are back in town!
"This is jungle politics" -Locodoco
I'm absolutely I loving this ty C9 for making this happen.
I thought this was on everyday? If so why no uploads? Where do I watch live?
Time stamps?
awesome content! best show on league ever!!
This was great, but I wish we could have some Grog
❤️

This production is lit 🔥
THANK YOU CLOUD9
THANK YOU C9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE INTRO XD
where are the timestamps?
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS
The best part is, the peasants are happy with the show's return, and Thoorin and the boys are getting mad skrilla
Oh yes right into my veins
JeyTilly yes siiir
What happened around 1.25.00 someone wanting to join in on the conversation
TAKE MY MFing LIKE FROM MY SWEATY PALMS
Oh man who left Locos eyebrows unsupervised near the Adderall
Holy shit is this real life
Those intros are 10/10. Great shit.
Locodoco was so left out. Feels Bad
I just realized Thorin have to tape his ultraboost due to puma sponsor lmao
God damn, I was about to sleep..
Best Worlds content on YT.
