When Thorin clarified that the email was meant for internal distribution meaning that's what they are telling their "work friends" that's wild. Can you imagine all the other stuff you gotta put up with to work there?
I can't understand how everyone is so high on Yike. He's fine, but he feels like what Flakked was on G2 last year, a pretty good player who can also get away with more because of his team. I think Razork has been the best jungler in season finals *so far*, his champion pool seems on point as fuck and he hasn't had as many "oh wow he single handedly threw away the lead" moments as in regular. In regular season (regular splits?) Jankos got mad disrespected, what he accomplished with way less to work with than Yike is more impressive to me in terms of individual performance.
Sometimes you need to wonder if some player is really good or the competition is shit. I'm not saying he is bad, but the other junglers are....a little lacking. Worlds is close, so we will see there.
Yike has still plenty of room to grow and hes definitely in contention for the best jungler but definitely not THE best player. I wouldnt necessarily compare him to Flakked yet. Yike had a really good MSI while Flakked wasnt so hot on the international stage but we gotta see worlds first.
Jankos on this G2 team would make them far better and more stable. Jankos was the best jungler of the year. Yike has been decent overall, I don't dislike him as a player and maybe he'll keep improving but Jankos would give me so much more confidence for the team at worlds.
It’s hard to judge yike bc it’s hard to tell if his good plays and ganks are a result of him or his teammates that are literally all known to be very vocal and ask for stuff. He certainly has the best champ pool of eu jungler tho so you gotta give him that
What? Yike has clearly been one of the best performing junglers in the LEC, he has plenty of room to grow as a player and clearly has a very flexible champion pool. Flakked got way too much Flak as a player last year - He was pretty good and as he showed this year was more than capable of playing at LEC level, he just got blamed for G2's under performance at worlds and loss to rogue when ultimately he wasnt really at fault. Razork has been good in season finals but fact is for most of the year, he was trolling in half their games. His champion pool seems on point in parts but then the meta changes and he looks lost all over again... thats been his issue since Misfits. Not only that for Razork - He has played 2 series and in the XL series he had a few blunders. His issue is he will have a handful of good plays and then will decide he is diving a tower and die because he overforces, thats Razorks biggest issue as a player - even when playing things like Ivern he does that. Jankos played insanely well but that doesnt mean that Yike is somewhere worse... like Jankos was arguably the best jungler in LEC but that doesnt mean that Yike was somehow worse.
@@KhaoticKaos Usually that info is either blurred or covered with something, wouldn't it be strange to just replace it by another name? The same name as the sender? It doesn't feel edited This email is so dumb as they mentionned, that detail makes it all even weirder
To add to what thorium was saying, the point that was talked about in that JRE clip is more about consistency and thus amount of training cus in NA the way they train is insanely high intensity but more rest days whereas the Russians have way less intense but more numerous workouts, which directly translates to more technical knowledge of the sport
I lament the day when we see players like Caps and Mikyx retire. The state of the league will nosedive without rookies that can replace them and so far we haven’t seen any that could even dream of touching their highs.
@@Whyisthatlamptalking especially in the support role - mikyx and hyli are the 2 best supports in EU for the last 6-7 years ( we can maybe put Trymbi as someone who can replace them but yeah). I had so much hope for Kaiser and Labrov but both of them are nowhere near the worldclass level.
Hope we see some pocket picks of his like Vladimir, Yasuo, Sylas. APHELIOS... YES YOU HEAR THAT CORRECT HE KNOWS THE DARK TECH... but only Dylan Falco knows the secret to what they play it against... he wouldn't divulge on Euphoria.
It's so sad to see EG fall so hard from Grace. I really fell in love with the 2021 and 2022 EG roster. I love their current EG Valorant team. It's such a shame to see the org run so poorly and the stuff I've heard about the whole Impact and Peter Dun situation behind the scenes.
Thorin, at 1:30:32 when you were commenting on the best Esports org in the world, or how they could write such a thing, it reminded me of a classic introductory song - Only fools and horses... "'Cos if you want the best ones But you don't ask questions Then brother, I'm your man Cause where it all comes from is a mystery It's like the changing of the seasons And the tides of the sea" Just don't ask mate...go with the flow!
Was trying to sign up with your HelloFresh deal, but unfortunately it's void outside of the US! I'd love to support the show from the Netherlands, not sure if it's possible to open up that sponsorship in the future? Regardless, great show as always. LFN's villains seem to constantly put themselves in worse and worse predicaments. We love to see it.
What gives me a lot of hope for G2 is that we can see they are quickly learning from good practice from MSI. I think they might grow a lot from the one month of practice with eastern teams before worlds.
A small cup of copium but we can hope yes.. if they just played this last bracket out faster given its the same patch anyway they could have been there for two weeks already..
@@knapptastic18 there is play in first with the lower seeds, so they get another week there at least, so about 3 weeks.. but unknown how much they will get to scrim, they have to get situated and all that, also there is the days for filming for teasers and media, idk seems trash for EU this year
Word for hello fresh. It is really good and easy to make. Always nice to eat their stuff. Only thing is that portions are a little bit small if you weigh like 100kg, but other than that, can only recommend.
56:45 "we are the best in the world at esports" , now thats some Todd Boehly levels of ignorance , mfs think they achieved the highest goals in esports through trial error and "money towards passion" . Just dont tell them that there are no name teams with 1/60 of their budget who would mop the floor with them at any game or that they overpayed just to 5-23 on lan or smth in a alarmingly weaker region. Oh and also i would like to congratsulate EG for their streamer program , they out here making dreams come true , Danny completed twitch in 2 months and dipped ( jokes aside i hope the dude is better now)
Am I the only one who thought game 4 was promising too in G2 vs MAD? If there's one thing MAD has been able to do internationally it's win early games; in the main stage and knock out at least (we don't talk about play in), that G2 could still figure out how to win at some point, even if they messed up the waves for a long time, is not unlike how teams like Damwon and T1 have beaten MAD. And at least MAD could get ahead with Elyoya being clean on a J4, their macro was shit later but at least they have some part of the game to build on.
Absolutely crushed the punctuation at the end with the celebrity boxing match reference. Good riddance to another grifter in the scene that accepts to no responsibility for abject failure. Thank you for your service to the LFN crew, I will take a massive rip from my freeze pipe in your honor.
What's crazy to me is all the meatriding in Nicole's LinkedIn post, even someone like Lara Lunardi is weirdly saying how Nicole is an inspiration to all women in the space. Did she just miss everything that happened this past year?
You need to remember one key part - "Woman in the space" - Nicole is a woman in a space that is dominated by men so instantly becomes an inspiration and borderline untouchable.
What if EG lost and didnt go to worlds? The entire Danny situation would have been swept under the rug because the sub issue would never help expose it
Monte Says none of the Athletes or Sean Connery went on to do even greater things. This is probably true, but Ken Dryden did become an MP and has had a very successful career outside of hockey. Is that as good as being probably the third best goalie of all time. Not really. But he didn't ride into the sunset.
I don't fully agree with their take on the e-mail itself. It just sounds like internal information for the employees about their CEO leaving. Of course they will not say that she fucked up in many ways and obviously you can't have the CEO just leave without any notification. In my opinion this is just normal corporate talk when a high-ranking employee, that had been in the spotlight, is leaving a company.
Its a PR Puff piece sent to their own employees. A notification would be "It is today that we say goodbye to Nicole, she has only been with us for a short time but we will greatly miss her" not "She is a Titan of the industry like Warren Buffet and her career at EG will go down like the All time greats like Sean Connery" that is just a puff piece probably written by Nicole herself.
I'm really not involved in cooperate culture especially not in american but the ridiculousness of the praise in that email made me think that it gotta be sarcastic. In Germany it's fairly common to chose euphemisms in recommendation letters not to get sued by the former employee. Managers are using "codes" so to speak to rate the employee without using negative language. Not saying that the email is meant to be sarcastic but the comparison with movie stars, athletes etc is fucking bullshit LMAO
She also launched EG's Creator Collective, the platform for diverse multi-hyphenate gaming creators with an audience 2x more likely to be BIPOC compared to esports fans, and over 17% LGBTQ+. -- this is in her Linkedin :D :D LMAO
@@adrianmatusiak7339 Its not about that, its about Thorin and Monte massively underrating how good Hans is and they have done for sometime... Trust if it was Upset on G2 playing like Hans is, Thorin would be going "ITS CLEAR HE IS THE MVP!!! How can nobody vote for Upset!!"
I will forever be pissed about the Carlos situation. Issues like this only exacerbate my disbelief of the Carlos situation. Carlos did fuck all, worst thing he did was double down, but he wouldn't have felt the need to do so if people didn't blow shit way out of proportion in the first place. If you think about it, he was probably in a heightened emotional state from all the hatred that he wasn't thinking clearly when he doubled down. So when I see shit like this, some motherfucker getting a pass for being an ACTUAL piece of shit just because she's a woman in eSports, it blows my fucking mind. I would much rather work for Carlos than Nicole ANY day of the week. What did Carlos do? He was at a party that Andrew Tate was also attending. What did Nicole do? Oh, ya know, she only caused/allowed one of her players to endure physical and psychological issues, all to better the bottom line. I feel like that's not as bad as what Carlos did, right? I mean Carlos had women coming to his defence saying that he was nothing, but pleasant towards them the whole time they worked together. So being in the same room makes him a mysoginist like Tate? Makes sense. I had some delusional asshole try to tell me on Twitter that the people surrounding you are 100% indicative of the kind of person you are, which is just the most delusional and short-sighted way of thinking I've seen in a long time. The bottom line is, if you wanna make it in eSports while also getting away with anything you want, just become a woman and you can do whatever the fuck you want and never be criticized for it 👌👌👌
Another episode where useful information about what is actually going on with EG could have been contextualized and discussed, but instead we have Thorin “owning the morons” so hard that you have to give up listening after 30 seconds of his screeching. It’s like a toddler telling a story, they go on 6 different tangents and then scream incoherently before stamping their feet that no one is listening to them - hopefully Monte reigns Thorin in more on the next one.
The Thai fighter example probably not the best , just watched a American MMA fighter beat the shit out of one of the best Thai fighters hahah....it's a entertainment sport ..but the analogy still makes sense in esports
Most likely nepotism or she did sexual favors for them Idek She should have just sat in the back and managed behind the scenes She wanted to empower woman But all she did was make it worse
Thorin sucking off Wunder is so stupid considering he really did not play that series very well... He was literally only playing weakside and whilst yes he was effective, he made a lot of mistakes. He was the best plug and play Fnatic could hope for but to pretend he was the "best toplaner in the LEC" is a massive overstep.
He had 3 days to prepare, was playing weakside permanently, did not fall behind a lot and "carried" 2 very important teamfights. Except for brokenblade, he probably is the best toplaner in the LEC.
@@siinuxxblume5123 Did he play well enough? yes. But he is not near the level of Oscar is right now. Oscars impact in teamfights and ability to carry game as a rookie player is acctualy isane. Just look at the series againt XL dude has broken hand gets penta in the first game and absolutely smurfs every teamfight in his poppy game.
@@siinuxxblume5123 Bro stop - Even before this series he wasn't the best Toplaner in the LEC. Wunder is not 2019 Wunder anymore and I think people forget that. He was falling behind, the fact that he knew was weak side and yet got solokilled multiple times throughout the series including immediately after being given a kill by Razork - Immediately turning around and dying to Adam for literally no reason in G5 because he was being overaggressive into Ghost Olaf. Yes he played well in Teamfights but he was also massively overaggressive in teamfights - Diving the tower to flash W Crownie when he doesnt have W and dying immediately when he gets kited out. To say he is the best Toplaner in the LEC right now is laughable considering how players like Oscar, Odo, Adam played throughout summer. Wunder was good as a plug and play but people really are gushing far too hard over him right now, he played well for the short notice... but that's it. If Nuc and Crownie hadn't been throwing Game 5 then Wunders performance would not be as lauded as it is because ultimately Adam played better than him over the course of the series. The difference was Wunders team was playing better... so putting him on an island alone to get solokilled didnt matter as much because Humanoid, Razork and Noah were smurfing through the series even when counterpicking themselves.
@@1polasek12 I dont count Oscar, since he is the person he is replacing. He is really good too, agreed. I think he was better than Adam tho and who in LEC else would be better than him then ?
@@PeoplePleaser578 He got counterpicked, played weak side and was more impactful in teamfights than Adam. How is he worse than him ? And again. I dont count Oscar. Why would I do that ? He isnt playing. And Odo wasnt better than that.
Am I watching the same games as everyone else? Theres no western team that can compete at worlds this year. G2's ceiling is the ro8, and the reason is simple. They're going to get absolutely fucking gapped in mid lane. Caps might be the greatest western player of all time, but hes a shell of his former self. Aside from maybe T1, what eastern team is g2 going to run into where caps doesnt get fucking pounded by the opposing mid/jg?? Can you imagine him running into Knight or Yagao's Jayce? Chovy's K'sante? Showmaker's Azir? Come on, lol. Caps was relegated to Nautilus duty at MSI for good reason, and you wont compete with the asian teams doing that.
It's proven that the format doesn't make some region necessarily better. If anything lec has been looking the worst it has been for some years. Almost every series in play offs was very bad and even g2 who are by far the best don't really look that good.
I mean its not proven anything... 1 year of a format is not proof that something doesnt work. You need multiple years of a format to test its effectiveness overall. I mean there is more than just Format involved in why EU is behind, but to say that its not worked or hasnt had anything effect because of one year is kind of illogical.
That dagistan point is only kind true from what I have seen. It's the couple of guys who trained with khabibs Dad other dagistan fighters. Are useless technically good but no where near the level of athlete a college all American is. So you are kind right but they are not all killers.
G2 could make a fantastic surprise worlds run or get eliminated pretty quickly. It all depends on how their bootcamp goes and who they'll end up scrimming imo.
Anything could happen, but I'm expecting the same for G2 as Cloud9, they are considered the best in their regions and win even though they play sloppy, so Koreans and Chinese who actually compete and try their hardest will curb stomp them.
For me Nicole does personify a champion. She personifies Yuumi, it was awful when she was there and we're happy she's gone.
She can also damage her allies
Perfect analogy! She even latches on to her teammates and takes the credit for the work they did!

I would much rather work for Carlos than Nicole ANY day of the week. What did Carlos do? He was at a party that Andrew Tate was also attending. What did Nicole do? Oh, ya know, she only caused/allowed one of her players to endure physical and psychological issues, all to better the bottom line. I feel like that's not as bad as what Carlos did, right? I mean Carlos had women coming to his defence saying that he was nothing, but pleasant towards them the whole time they worked together. So being in the same room makes him a mysoginist like Tate? Makes sense. I had some delusional asshole try to tell me on Twitter that the people surrounding you are 100% indicative of the kind of person you are, which is just the most delusional and short-sighted way of thinking I've seen in a long time. The bottom line is, if you wanna make it in eSports while also getting away with anything you want, just become a woman and you can do whatever the fuck you want and never be criticized for it 👌👌👌
Another episode where useful information about what is actually going on with EG could have been contextualized and discussed, but instead we have Thorin “owning the morons” so hard that you have to give up listening after 30 seconds of his screeching. It’s like a toddler telling a story, they go on 6 different tangents and then scream incoherently before stamping their feet that no one is listening to them - hopefully Monte reigns Thorin in more on the next one.
Ok but imagine BDS picks up self-made and bwipo in the off season.
banger episode
The Thai fighter example probably not the best , just watched a American MMA fighter beat the shit out of one of the best Thai fighters hahah....it's a entertainment sport ..but the analogy still makes sense in esports
Hello fresh poggers
AS OF NOW 😂😂😂😂
Carlos is literally running scams of the kind CoffeeZilla makes videos about and thorin is still defending him lol
i dont have much time to watch the whole vid, but i clicked cause i just couldnt wait to listen to you guys trash Nicole LaDisappointe
Wow, and almost immediately the Nicole-Warren Buffet comparison they went for aged like milk (RIP)
1:07:25 EG gang gang hahahahahahah
: 👍
Most likely nepotism or she did sexual favors for them
Idek
She should have just sat in the back and managed behind the scenes
She wanted to empower woman
But all she did was make it worse
Hansama couldnt even handle berserker how can he do well at worlds 😂
Thorin sucking off Wunder is so stupid considering he really did not play that series very well... He was literally only playing weakside and whilst yes he was effective, he made a lot of mistakes.
He was the best plug and play Fnatic could hope for but to pretend he was the "best toplaner in the LEC" is a massive overstep.
He had 3 days to prepare, was playing weakside permanently, did not fall behind a lot and "carried" 2 very important teamfights. Except for brokenblade, he probably is the best toplaner in the LEC.
@@siinuxxblume5123 Did he play well enough? yes. But he is not near the level of Oscar is right now. Oscars impact in teamfights and ability to carry game as a rookie player is acctualy isane. Just look at the series againt XL dude has broken hand gets penta in the first game and absolutely smurfs every teamfight in his poppy game.
@@siinuxxblume5123 Bro stop - Even before this series he wasn't the best Toplaner in the LEC. Wunder is not 2019 Wunder anymore and I think people forget that. He was falling behind, the fact that he knew was weak side and yet got solokilled multiple times throughout the series including immediately after being given a kill by Razork - Immediately turning around and dying to Adam for literally no reason in G5 because he was being overaggressive into Ghost Olaf.
Yes he played well in Teamfights but he was also massively overaggressive in teamfights - Diving the tower to flash W Crownie when he doesnt have W and dying immediately when he gets kited out. To say he is the best Toplaner in the LEC right now is laughable considering how players like Oscar, Odo, Adam played throughout summer.
Wunder was good as a plug and play but people really are gushing far too hard over him right now, he played well for the short notice... but that's it. If Nuc and Crownie hadn't been throwing Game 5 then Wunders performance would not be as lauded as it is because ultimately Adam played better than him over the course of the series. The difference was Wunders team was playing better... so putting him on an island alone to get solokilled didnt matter as much because Humanoid, Razork and Noah were smurfing through the series even when counterpicking themselves.
@@1polasek12 I dont count Oscar, since he is the person he is replacing. He is really good too, agreed. I think he was better than Adam tho and who in LEC else would be better than him then ?
@@PeoplePleaser578 He got counterpicked, played weak side and was more impactful in teamfights than Adam. How is he worse than him ? And again. I dont count Oscar. Why would I do that ? He isnt playing. And Odo wasnt better than that.
Am I watching the same games as everyone else? Theres no western team that can compete at worlds this year. G2's ceiling is the ro8, and the reason is simple. They're going to get absolutely fucking gapped in mid lane.
Caps might be the greatest western player of all time, but hes a shell of his former self. Aside from maybe T1, what eastern team is g2 going to run into where caps doesnt get fucking pounded by the opposing mid/jg?? Can you imagine him running into Knight or Yagao's Jayce? Chovy's K'sante? Showmaker's Azir? Come on, lol. Caps was relegated to Nautilus duty at MSI for good reason, and you wont compete with the asian teams doing that.
It's proven that the format doesn't make some region necessarily better. If anything lec has been looking the worst it has been for some years. Almost every series in play offs was very bad and even g2 who are by far the best don't really look that good.
I mean its not proven anything... 1 year of a format is not proof that something doesnt work. You need multiple years of a format to test its effectiveness overall. I mean there is more than just Format involved in why EU is behind, but to say that its not worked or hasnt had anything effect because of one year is kind of illogical.
I want to see CBLOL destroying LCS
Wouldn't be surprised if lec gets stomped by lcs, lec been disappointing.
@@JohnRock-zs5xr LEC doesn't look good, but you must have not watched LCS...
@@JohnRock-zs5xr lmao. least delusional NA fan.
thorins pinkydoll shoutout cracked me up hahaha
That dagistan point is only kind true from what I have seen. It's the couple of guys who trained with khabibs Dad other dagistan fighters. Are useless technically good but no where near the level of athlete a college all American is. So you are kind right but they are not all killers.
This might be the first world's I don't watch.
cap
G2 could make a fantastic surprise worlds run or get eliminated pretty quickly. It all depends on how their bootcamp goes and who they'll end up scrimming imo.
Anything could happen, but I'm expecting the same for G2 as Cloud9, they are considered the best in their regions and win even though they play sloppy, so Koreans and Chinese who actually compete and try their hardest will curb stomp them.
Just like MSI
