That story about his experience flying to NA, not getting picked up in an airport, and sleeping without heating... Trashy and Kold, two word that describe his experience in America lol.
First episode I caught in its entirety live, and one of the best of them all. Kold was a fantastic guest with a great story. Thanks for what you do for the League scene, Dom.
I thought this was a great episode of the Crackdown just wanted to give my praises. I thought the conversation on practice was really interesting and insightful. I never really thought of Riot's role in it. I wonder if we dont see a lot of specific practice drills in league compared to sc2 simply because mechanically its not that demanding its more a ton of decision making. Thorin didnt speak much this episode but when he did he made it count so I thought he did very well. Also, I wasnt very familiar with Kolds career despite watching LCS when Enemy was kicking around, but after this episode I am a big fan and will be rooting for him as a coach. Thanks for this content Dom. I know it hasnt always been easy for you but I appreciate the effort you go through to put out analytical and insightful content like this. Poggers dude
To me it's weird how people get annoyed when Thorin interrupts people to clarify something or make a follow up question(sometimes crowbars a joke in) but when Dom makes 30 year age old joke for the 1000th time or interrupts to make an irrelavant remark, noone minds it.
Dom knows the how the.seeding works he word for word called group d and b and most of C on...last facecheck or crackdown? I believe it was the more recent facecheck
18:50 that's the issue, and exactly why Wunder is better. The grinders just go through the paces, actually improving very little per game. 2 hours of FOCUSED practice is better than 10 hours of going through the motions for the sake of it.
You can't say stuff like this without taking people in account. Depending on what type of person you are you'll either get burned out or improve while grinding.
Completely agree, when I’m not playing as much, I personally feel myself play worse. Team fight worse, cs way worse, build/trades etc. I have other friends when they take a month off and come back, they feel way better and play better bc of it
@@DMoneyDSauce for me its more like i play really bad when i didnt play for a long time. Play my peak when i play like 1/2 games a day, play average to bad when im hard grinding
One issue with that statement is that a game such as league of legends has so many variables that you may never even encounter playing 2 hours (plus scrims) per day. 2 hours is like 3 games of Solo Q - since people don’t close games fast even at challenger/master.
G2 did a reaction speed video and Wunders reaction speed was also like 140ms vs the 2nd best at 175ms. So Wunder was just born ready for his highly mechanical Soraka top gameplay
Right? He is an absolute breath of fresh air. Like you can tell both Dom and Thorin are both putting on their streamer persona (no flame they got a show to make and people to entertain) but Kold is out here super raw and honest about his experience
Really appreciate Kold talking about everything so openly. I always enjoyed him on broadcast as well - I hope he will stop by the LEC from time to time!
Cool episode, It was interesting to hear Kold's point of view, really have respect for his attitude as a player and also think many people can learn something from his story.
I really love thorin on this show, his points about practice in league was not only the most original but also interesting take I’ve heard from a talk show ever. The guy seriously knows his shit and it reminded me exactly why he’s on the show
Thorin's really good at posing jovial sounding questions to get players to open up during an interview. But Kold is so open, and a great speaker, Thorin almost looks annoyed that there aren't many opportunities for him to do his bit xD
Thorin missed the perfect chance to bring up the Dennis Rodman analogy with the Bulls in the 90s as compared to Wunder on G2 same mindset just with different types of enjoyment
When you talk about Wunder potentially being the best player in the world if he practiced more, I think you have to keep in mind that being the best at anything isn't just determined by the ammount of inherent skill you have. For example ability to practice efficiently, or high energy so you can take a big work load can be important predictors to determine who could be the best at something. I feel like it's important to give players (especially younger players) structure, but like Kold is saying if you let them play/practice the way that works best for them it will generally yield good results i feel like.
I can't believe Dom didn't ask Kold about that one video where the Danish players in NA went to a Danish-style bakery together. Did he forget that it was Kold in that video who tagged along with Bjergsen and Santorin?
Dom saying "I remember you clapped jankos in a reksai vs jarvan game" wtf this is 2 years ago how the fuck does dom remember the exact match-up in one specific game from that long ago 😱
45:04 he is not fat because that's all he eats xD, 2 meals for an entire day, he look like the kind of person that could be still hungry after eating or starving at 5pm, and wait for dinner to eat. he kold literally said that was what he was doing in the morning
I watched the last video with Grabbz and Jankos on G2 channel and I remember they literally said that he eats only pasta and pizza, rip xD But I think it's not that bad with a chef vs ordering so...
@@arturdias6399 Most times i just feel better with no breakfast cause if i eat it i get stomach ache and that gets my mood down, but if your energy levels are low then try eat i guess, you could try just eat eggs since its easy to eat. and fast
1:47:41 DOM SPEAKING FACT. I don't understand this mediocre idea of being fine and celebrate like we win Worlds by just getting out of Groups. This weak,beta,mediocre way of thinking created by brainless fans who don't care about winning, who only care about "We are part of something. We are part of X team" instead of demand for improvement, to ask them to win. They don hold those pro players who are getting pay astronomic salaries accountable for those poor results. Almost every pro players at NA get guarded by the community behind the "Their poor mental health is suffering. Don't bully him" when you are questioning their perfomance, when people are criticism their play. NA is the only region who goes into Worlds not winning about winning. They goes with the mentality "Men. Would be so great if we get out of group". The other regions are aiming to win the damn thing.
I really hate the way Kold doesn't have a coherent way of turning his thoughts into words quickly, so his talk is really broken. A shame because he's a great personality and has some great thoughts and insight into the game, but it's really hard to follow/listen to him at times
@@Labben91 you kinda missed the point there my dude, so to spell it out: just because it's your second language you still have an infinite amount of ways to talk, using breaks between sentences, etc. (Also, I don't know from where you are, but in Europe, especially Denmark, people have a high level of knowledge of languages, you can see it in Kold too, he's not talking scuffed because he can't remember how you say "Mikyx had a fucked up diet", he just has a lot of jumbled up thoughts he wants to say at the same time)
Thorin is a clown. Just follow him on twitter or actually listen to what he says and you will realize that in 90% of the time he has no idea what he is talking about. And I watch this show bc I'm interested in what the guests and dom have to say. Too bad i have to endure thorins interuptions and bad takes this much. If he chilled a little it'd be fine. For the time being i skip whenever he is speaking.
tbh, i like this channel. However, if you all are wrong about NA at worlds (cough Thorin, Monte, and IWD), if NA gets into quarters, if they get into Semis....I will be unsubscribing from this content. And to be honest EVERY one else should as well.
That story about his experience flying to NA, not getting picked up in an airport, and sleeping without heating...
Trashy and Kold, two word that describe his experience in America lol.
how about inviting Alex Ich into the show? His stories and background with Rito would be pretty interesting
That would be hilarious! Upvote!
Or Edward again xd
Be cool, I'd love for someone to bring Darien back hahaha.
That feels more like a Thorin youtube episode lol
or diamond, he's still playing
the crackdown is by far the best league podcast, love the guests, hot takes and thorin and dom flaming tsm and na in general. 10/10

The part about the Mikyx diet is still true, at least according to what Jankos and Grabbz said in "Ultimate Synergy with Jankos and Grabbz"

Fun fact MikyX diet did get better he now eats Burgers sometimes with his Pizza and Pasta
It's so great to see Kold again. I missed that guy so much
Just commenting for the algorithm.
This is an episode that should be seen more its probably the best ep I've seen
Really appreciate Kold talking about everything so openly. I always enjoyed him on broadcast as well - I hope he will stop by the LEC from time to time!
DOM DIDNT EVEN GET TO DO THE INTRO WITHOUT THORIN YELLING LMAO
Cool episode, It was interesting to hear Kold's point of view, really have respect for his attitude as a player and also think many people can learn something from his story.
If qtie wasnt my Hero already before this he would be now
I can imagine Qt watching this and shouting LETS GOOOOOOO
Wait why? Haven't watched the vid yet but aren't they interviewing Kold?
Kold was one of the best guests yet!
I really love thorin on this show, his points about practice in league was not only the most original but also interesting take I’ve heard from a talk show ever. The guy seriously knows his shit and it reminded me exactly why he’s on the show
2:30 thorins krepo reference then chuckle had me in tears of laughter I miss krepo but what happened is pure bants
Great episode, thanks guys, as always
Super interesting episode after the first hour! But the diet talk had me laughing a lot
banger as always, much love
its really cool to have a retired player's perspective, I always wonder what they do afterwards (most go back to studying I imagine)
Thorin's really good at posing jovial sounding questions to get players to open up during an interview. But Kold is so open, and a great speaker, Thorin almost looks annoyed that there aren't many opportunities for him to do his bit xD

where my crack at cuh
TRIPPIN AND BIPPIN
One of the best episodes for sure
Somebody needs to teach Thorin some social etiquette. It's quite frustrating having him interrupt people constantly every episode
the febi garden meme is my favorite
I keep scrolling by this video and every time in the thumbnail I see him pointing a gun at me for some reason.
Liked b4 watching as usual
That ha haaaaaa is so good! 4:13

I see Thorin I watch. Haters will hate.
Yes! Gotta love a guy that blackmails ls over a Twitter argument and doesn’t even have the decency to apologize!
I can’t help but to feel a bit melancholic at the outcome of kold’s career. Wish him the best.
Can we get yamatocannon for a crackdown maybe. I think His Takes are really good and His perception.
Highly recommend the latest episode of summoning inside with yomato
there are two Episode 32 videos...PogU
What drugs is thorin on.
If lgd wins in the play ins does that mean they have to go to group C?
I watched the last video with Grabbz and Jankos on G2 channel and I remember they literally said that he eats only pasta and pizza, rip xD But I think it's not that bad with a chef vs ordering so...
That was when he was mentioning Miky’s diet because he’s so picky. The chef still makes more dishes than pizza and pasta for the other players broski
Damn, Dom just kinda predicted TSM group, he was wrong about MAD tho, FNC is there but the rest is correct. Actually doomed XD
@Thorin. Chronic Fatigue.
1:38:30 LMAO thoorin is fucking troll, dude just tells a personal story and then a wish of his and thoorin just shits on that dude... poor guy
How did you guys not bring up Theoddone and his diet that gave him scurvy?!? I know you hate TSM but that story is gold.
Someone photoshop Kold holding a gun in the thumbnail
I remember watching the h2k challenger games with Trashy, that was a really fun time. They got fined for some trolling stuff and it was great.
How do you go to a foreign country and only eat Subway???
ayy the crack man himself
My man said king of the flies 🤣

Perfect. I see exactly the same!
