Maximillian Timofte Yeah, hes pretty good, but nowhere near the level of Apdo, remember that he gets consistently Rank 1 in Korea and China, arguably the hardest regions to climb.
Guys its not Dopa dont be mistaken by the name...Dopa does not have a RUclips channel he only streams...the guy above has taken his approval to upload his videos
@@youngbinkim991 No he doesn't...the only thing he has is his chinese stream and hence he went to live in China...The official dopa page is from a guy that made an agreement with him to upload his games
The girl sent nudes to Apdo which he promptly declines, and that lead to his thousand year ban........ The girl didn't fell in love in my perspective though............
Floof Gaming Criminal? XD You do realize what he broke wasnt the law, just their Terms of Service. Its like posted a nude on instagram and getting banned, its not criminal activity XD I hope to God you are trolling and not that dumb tho, cuz life will be difficult for you
Hasten (s7 naist and skewed rank1) since his old accounts newzhongdan,skewed etc banned immediately he cant climb .This is the reason why he chooses to play in chinese server.Btw it is illegal in korea to have someones id and play with it
yeah, its amazing to think of it like that. But just one thing, during the final game of the season (i dont remember which), apdo and faker were almost tied at rank 1. Apdo was winning, and if he won he would be rank 1. But instead, he told his team, "Faker must be best" and threw the game.
Isn't Garen Galio Gangplank the first three champions on the Korean client? Those used to be the Faker bans because he didn't care what he was up against. I never heard of the "let's go gank" thing.
Fearzzy champ pool wise? He can play practically every midlaner, if he doesn't do so is just because he strictly follows the meta, and only plays the same 2-3 broken picks of the season. He always says that for climbing, champion > skills. Knowledge wise and mechanically he's on top of the world, because he only plays SoloQ, he can only rely on himself(not even Duo), and he completly shits on other high ranked Challengers making them look like silvers. And if you saw the video, the guy said himself that he can play practically every single role at absolute perfection. He only prefers midlane because is the easiest lane from which you can carry.
i don't think you understand what makes apdo great, its his game knowledge and brain, NOT his mechanics, cus his mechanics are nothing special for korean challenger and never were. and no, he can't play alot of champions, he plays 2-3 champions every time he goes for rank 1's simply because playing more than that isnt efficient for climbing. and absolutely no, he cant play other roles to perfection, he used to be really good at all roles back in season 3-4 but thats a long time ago, he doesnt even play anything but mid anymore. He always mained mid, even when mid was bad for carrying, he doesnt prefer it because its easiest to carry from, he just prefers it
Fearzzy he is still a great player for understanding how to climb soloQ. And his mid lane is perfection, because he knows and understand everything about mid lane, just like Faker. Sure, every Korean challenger knows all there is to their lane, and knows all the mechanics, but imagine you are one of them, and people say that you are not a great player, that you are nothing special, wouldn't you get mad? The cool thing is, he is probably the first player to achieve these knowledge and mechanics, of course everybody has time to catch up, being the first to reach the top of the mountain means you are famous you know.
ahah ihih like i said, he is a great player but his mechanics are just about average in KR soloQ, this is common knowledge for people who actually watched his gameplay
"Was once revered as one of the greatest league of legends players in the world" Great vid as always, but let me correct you in this one. He is still revered and still is undoubtedly one of the best players, and will be til the end of his time on LoL.
MatuIlMito who gives a fuck about looking manly, that’s exactly what an insecure person would say about a handsome male, girls don’t want a hairy giant
Apdo made a new account like about a month ago. The id is Trud, level 44(?)and reached challenger from unranked. Also, Dopa's 4 accounts reached rank 1~4 at the same time. He says everyone in solo q is under than me . The only player that he thinks good is Faker and Deft(said in 2015) Also theres one more legend He played leesin(1v1) against KT Fly(while he was a progamer) and he beat him. Also he beat 1v1 with ezreal( Diamond )without using q skill. Lastly he also beat Diamond with orianna without using q skills. He just saying master is also trash and he wanted to prove that basic skills are more important than using skills
Dopa is the best league player of all time in soloq, he is the only player in the world who can get an account in challenger with 70% + winrate, his last one on kr server had fucking 81% winrate over 140 games, no one in the pro scene ever accomplished that.
no, many players are capable of getting challenger with 70% winrate, TF blade on his most recent account WHILE streaming is sitting at 79% winrate 580LP challenger
Toppo la Justice yes in solo queue but pro players dont have the time to grind that hard on solo queue and neither do they care about solo que as much as solo que players do either
He's the BEST MID LANER IN THE WORLD TODAY. Knowing that he can top on Solo queues, alone, without any duo or team. Imagine if this dude got 4 players who knows him well and can ride along with his gameplay and styles, man, I'll bet he'll be a good fvcking shotcaller and captain.
Riot should have gave him a deal. Like if he played on a competitive team (riot would make revenue) for a year and win couple seasons of ogn, then he can have his account back. If they did that and added an apdo skin pshh... that’s a lot of money for them
nsmilitia Why would that matter? It's not like he was banned by Riot. It's KeSPA that banned Apdo. There's a reason Korea has by far the best solo queue; they take it seriously.
jyashin Koreans are so good at climbing because they can just afk games and get no punishments if they feel its a lost game, this speeds up games and lets them play more
“Love” “Developed feelings for him” No lol she would sleep with high ranking players and contacted him through ELO boosting services and he boosted her then stopped talking to her after he rejected her offer of sex.
That can only be speculated, but I believe a person of his talent definitely has the capability to do so if he really did get into the competitive scene
what? he claimed himself that he would be a bad pro player due to the couple of reasons like mental illness that makes him feel uncofortable if he changes place he plays at (different monitor, chair, position) and u still pretend to know everything?
the last statment was such a blow... "just a guy playing league of legends with a plate full of money". he reached his goal and destination: becoming the best soloq player of all time. that guy is not just some guy
What if..... A. Apdo joined SKT as their new top or jungler or ANY role that could fill it in and restored the glory. B. He joins Kingzone as another mid laner and KZ becomes 2015 SKT. C. He joins KT Rolster to bring the team back and leads the team into an international tournament. D. Chooses to play for a short time in NA or Korea Let's think what would happen in he chooses to go pro....
He will never go pro, sadly they did not talk about this in the video but Apdo himself said that his skill is limited to soloq, he has not the best skill but he is good at mindgames. He states that his tactics to win would not work in professional play and that he would get outmatched by a lot of players. Also he has some issues playing if he is not sitting in his chair and has to use a different mouse. He is simply made for soloq. It might have been a different story if he went pro before he got banned but now it is over and it will never happen.
Why would KZ replace BDD? BDD is one of the best mids in KR rn along with kuro, faker and ucal. And apdo has a serious case of OCD which he himself said so that he does not play well if he don't have his preferred set-up.
What he did was illegal, he knew the risk, he got it in exchange for some extra dough and endangering Rito's competitive system. Games that are P2W is horrible, and he was encouraging a gaming world that is abhorrent. He deserved what he got.
He's not "just a random soloq player" now, he's still insanely good and making mad money from elo boosting, probably more than he would by working for Riot.
Correction: "He was the greatest (pro) midlaner in the world" Just because someone cannot play professionally doesnt mean hes still not the best midlaner.
I can't believe there are people in chat siding with the idea "Why not allow elo boosting" You all know damn well why because it ruins the game for others. One comment section isn't enough to explain it. Easy to write 10 page essay on the eco system of the game
@@jimjam4823 I know it's hard to u understand for you so I hope u will understand it if I write it in caps. YOU CAN'T COMPARE SOLO Q TO COMPETITIVE LEAGUE. PRO IS MUCH HARDER THAN SOLO Q.
I still don't know why people like Apdo. He clearly didn't get the message that elo boosting is against the rules, but continued to do it because it boosted his ego and wallet. If he actually had the balls, he would have stopped, got serious about the professional scene and have a go at the best of Korea, but we'll never know what could have been.
Apdo is imo the greatest League player of all time, he just dosent want to waste time on pro play when elo boosting is more profitable for him. He's always taking number 1 Challenger spots on the ladder he wants to get it on. He dosent need to have absurd more mechanics then the rest in soloque, he just outsmarts them
The fact that celebrities and athletes from soccer, football and NBA plays Fortnite brings another perspective. Not to mention, it is always in mainstream media.
League is exact same still, YOU ARE FORCED TO play champs in the meta when in Ranked. League has no freedom like Fortnite, where you can go wherever and do whatever. If you think league is different, think again. I have been playing league since Season 2 and nothing special...
Yeah if you don't play meta champs they will be toxic to you and trash talk the fuck out of you for not playing meta champs. It doesn't matter if they play their champs or not. Champs always UNBALANCED and not fair lol
If you ask me... While challengers can smurf and trolls can keep joining your queue, a little boosting doesn't hurt. As you cant maintain high elo eventually u ll drop off. Riot is sounding like tyrants in this video
Boosting hurts the players who rightfully got in their ranks. That’s why there are many hard stucks. (Based on ph) they can’t perform that well on that elo thus dragging others down too
I know and I used to believe the concept was hurting the community. But in last 2-3 years, its has so happened that even if you play games 2 elo level higher than current form, you can not carry a team with one troll at all. But anyways, doesnt matter what I say. Rito still does what they deem fit. Even if it means challenging them to audit last 15 ranked games of person reporting and person reported.
Your right.. a diamond player can go back at plat and be diamond again with ease but be hardstuck at diamond because he just can't go up and he knows why
LOL a dimaond wont fall off to plat unless 1) he was himself boosted 2) he too has string of trolls on team which i suppose cant be possible 3) he is himself trolling. Even if he falls, he can bounce back ... he has talent on his side... right? I am not debating on the concept but its only for the video and apdo that 1000 years ban is out straight dick move by riot.
I hope you guys do another video about Apdo that tells his story with better context. Trying to tell it through the lens of the shortest professional game doesn't really do it justice. I mean he didn't even play in that game. But the things he has done on his own in the world's most competitive solo-q ladders are ridiculous and probably do deserve being highlighted in your series. The best way to understand what makes Apdo special is through the eyes of pro players that play against him in solo que. There's some great quotes out there in videos from Thorin and LS. When players like imp and flame in their primes are scared of you, it deserves a mention. I usually love these segments but I was disappointed by this one.
I think the the main reasons he doesn't play professional games are: 1. he hates riot that gave him such a strict ban from playing LoL; 2. He can earn way more than any regular professional players by simply streaming 4 or 5 times a weak instead of having a very tight schedule when playing professionally; BTW, people who watch his stream in Chinese gave him crazy amount of gift (or money) every time he goes online, and due to a huge fan base in China he could he really earn a lot as the saying "many a little makes a mickle“. But, it is true that he is quite a tragic figure who is not even considering to prove himself in the professional stage while known as the "best midlaner in LoL".
i would agree to that, had Tryndamere (Marc Merill, Riot's co-founder) not been exposed for eloboosting himself. There are a shit ton of videos about it, but basically he figured some guy was eloboosting and blackmailed him with "boost me or I ban you". When finally exposed, Marc Merill fined himself USD 10k, which he donated to a charity org in which he is the very chairman. IF Riot was a pure innocent company, I would totally agree with you. Sadly, that's not the case. =/
Absolute A+ logic there pal. You're not allowed to call out a companies shitty business practices simply because you enjoy their products? Brb I'm gonna go work at a Nike sweatshop for leisure.
League of legend is growing into a professional esports and I think it makes complete sense to ban apdo. There is no argument he is the best solo queue player in the world, but elo boosting is not a glory thing and it bring permanent damage and deterioration to the game integrity. Tbh, I feel shame for him, especially for that troll game. What a waste of talent. He could be the greatest esports player of all time, but now he’s just a solo queue player with bunch of money. Also, his talent is not truly tested, to compete at the highest level, it’s not only about skills, it is also about teamwork, mentality, consistency and class. He has skills, but really sad he cannot prove himself for the rest.
I agree, lots of man love for him here in comments but I see him more of a spoilt brat. He could've achieved sporting greatness the likes of Jordan, Federer, Woods, Faker, Gretzky. All who played the system to their advantage and etched their names in history. Instead his fanboys will only remember him as an unproven on the international stage rebel.
They didn't clearly explain the thing about the girl and Apdo. The girl's goal was to clearly do it with Apdo and not to boost her acc, it was ambiguous to say that she wants to have a romantic relationship because all she wants is to have *** with Apdo. The girl is infamously known as someone who had s** with other pro gamers/players because she considers it as an achievement, a trophy to obtain.
Riot doesn't just nerf OP champions, but players and teams as well. They don't want OP players and OP teams so they banned the counterplayer against Faker.
Yup, they didn't ban him because he was cheating their system and breaking their rules, they did it because he was a Faker tier player... That's why BDD and Crown have been banned... oh wait.
Not even close to the truth... many of pro players and streamers have broken the rules of league even streaming it: use of acc of other player/ playing on "e-bay" acc/ getting fun on low elo acc/ trolling games and so on... not like they get banned 99% cases...
He was also working with Korean or/and Chinese media getting paid for streaming games online and on TV, interviews, etc. This guy guy is genius not only on the game scene, he doesn't need Riot.
Eh, I don't think so. The dude is actually a legend in his own right, and a year or two ago he was considered the only person in the world who could go toe to toe with faker. The main thing he is lacking is experience with the disciplined and structured style of pro play. Don't really keep up with him anymore though, so I don't know if he is still as good as he used to be.
he was being under-glorified, actually. that guy is with 100% certainty the best league of legends player to ever play this game. if faker impresses one, apdo will outclass him by lengths.
oh , haha..its me
Official Dopa guys we found the enigma.
Holy shit! See the comments dude! You are a legend!
holy shit, it's actually Dopa.
wtf i thought this was a fake account or sth LOL
I don't even play LoL but I am amazed at how cool this guy's story is.
Not My Name moba😂😂😂 not mmo
DufulPlays oh yeah lol my bad
Not My Name apdo himself said that the prize pool etc isn't enough to justify him going pro, because he makes a lot more money from boosting.
i just think its awesome how he like litteraly sticks his middle finger up to riot with that picture with a plate full of money
He is a charismatic 200iq intellectual. Cool guy tbh.
One thing, he is not just a league player with a bunch of money. He is the greatest soloq player of all times.
I was about to comment this, he's a GOD
I know, Apdo's level has never went down, I don't know how they got the idea he is just a random now
Yeah he fucked up at that last part. Hw could he even be a random with that history
you heard of tfblade?
Maximillian Timofte Yeah, hes pretty good, but nowhere near the level of Apdo, remember that he gets consistently Rank 1 in Korea and China, arguably the hardest regions to climb.

As far as I know, he's unbanned from pro play.
he doesnt want to play pro as he would earn way less money
I disagree, he's probably still the best midlaner in the world
might be the best soloQ player, but he is not the best midlaner. mechanicly and champ pool whise he is inferior to the top mids out there

It will eventually grow, it's just a matter of time and persistence.
its because for every good video like this, there is 10 lame videos like lists or stream highlights
Maybe because they are so ignorant that they think Apdo now is JUST a random solo queue player.
73K views and 1.5K likes is definitely good response, I think. This is really good work they put out.
"Was once revered as one of the greatest league of legends players in the world"
Great vid as always, but let me correct you in this one. He is still revered and still is undoubtedly one of the best players, and will be til the end of his time on LoL.
Apdo is Ronaldinho of League of legends
What r u talking about ? Bruce lee is Ip man’s pupil, Faker isn’t dopa’s one, he has same mechanics as Dopa...

if I was him, I would continue elo boosting the sht out of LoL to spite riot lol
thats what he is prolly doing lol
It won't hurt if he didn't boost whemen
Long Lee he should buy out league xd
Why? At this point he would earn more money if he proves himself in the pro scene. Even more so if he supposed to be as good as faker.

yeah he has hit rank 1 ever since on every account, still rank 1 (ofc not every point at the season though )
kiwara yes
Every season and he still continue to do so
kiwara I saw somewhere that even faker says that apdo is better than him. So... Yeah.
husen boriwala no, apdo said faker was better than him at one point, faker has never said that about apdo
I dont think APDO is a guy ''just'' playing League of Legends, yeah he isnt playing competitive but he's reaching Rank 1 steadily every season.

the last statment was such a blow... "just a guy playing league of legends with a plate full of money".
he reached his goal and destination: becoming the best soloq player of all time. that guy is not just some guy
The League Tsundere.
Top Ten Anime Villains.
Floof is mad bro
Floof Gaming you jealous bruh? Can't climb up the rank?
more like e-Yandere
If the earth and league still exists on 3013. He will rise from the grave and dominate every player of league again.
What if.....
A. Apdo joined SKT as their new top or jungler or ANY role that could fill it in and restored the glory.
B. He joins Kingzone as another mid laner and KZ becomes 2015 SKT.
C. He joins KT Rolster to bring the team back and leads the team into an international tournament.
D. Chooses to play for a short time in NA or Korea
Let's think what would happen in he chooses to go pro....
You are overrating him af
He will never go pro, sadly they did not talk about this in the video but Apdo himself said that his skill is limited to soloq, he has not the best skill but he is good at mindgames. He states that his tactics to win would not work in professional play and that he would get outmatched by a lot of players. Also he has some issues playing if he is not sitting in his chair and has to use a different mouse. He is simply made for soloq. It might have been a different story if he went pro before he got banned but now it is over and it will never happen.
Why would KZ replace BDD? BDD is one of the best mids in KR rn along with kuro, faker and ucal. And apdo has a serious case of OCD which he himself said so that he does not play well if he don't have his preferred set-up.
@hasohnir1 you do realise apdo specializes in team play and macro and game knowledge right ? He's not a mechanical player
APDO is the unsung hero.
A guy with random convictions Fuck off, he was elo boosting
Floof Gaming The only villainous thing here is your spelling...
What he did was illegal, he knew the risk, he got it in exchange for some extra dough and endangering Rito's competitive system. Games that are P2W is horrible, and he was encouraging a gaming world that is abhorrent. He deserved what he got.
Apdo is the best and most consistent soloq player of all time.
He isnt just a dude with a plate full of money now, hes the best today too
Apdo: B E G O N E T H O T
He's not "just a random soloq player" now, he's still insanely good and making mad money from elo boosting, probably more than he would by working for Riot.
wrrr
In my oppinion his ban for his boosting services is perfectly justified.
Griffin are soloq randoms who crushed the LCK. There are also rumors that they were being coached secretly bu dopa.
Correction: "He was the greatest (pro) midlaner in the world" Just because someone cannot play professionally doesnt mean hes still not the best midlaner.
APDO doesn't need Reports. Dude made tons of money his way. This guy is a legend
Anti hero! I fucking despise LOL, but this is amazing. Great story.
louis de pointe du lac if you want to learn more about apdo, watch thoorin's video about him, it's pretty good
louis de pointe du lac same
Will do! Cheers!
Why would you watch a Lol vid if you hate it...sound like a troll
Everyone gangsta untill you see him login in 3013
I can't believe there are people in chat siding with the idea "Why not allow elo boosting"
You all know damn well why because it ruins the game for others. One comment section isn't enough to explain it. Easy to write 10 page essay on the eco system of the game
I remember seeing that game live and having no idea what was happening
He still is the best wtf
Phantasm best in solo q maybe, pro scene is a different beast.
@@Darkstormsun9865 he's literally whoops other pros in matchups
in solo q yes but in pro scene faker is arguably the best of all time
Nick StreamsLeague not even arguably, there is no debate
@@jimjam4823 I know it's hard to u understand for you so I hope u will understand it if I write it in caps.
YOU CAN'T COMPARE SOLO Q TO COMPETITIVE LEAGUE.
PRO IS MUCH HARDER THAN SOLO Q.
scariest thing about apdo is that hes good looking
I still don't know why people like Apdo. He clearly didn't get the message that elo boosting is against the rules, but continued to do it because it boosted his ego and wallet. If he actually had the balls, he would have stopped, got serious about the professional scene and have a go at the best of Korea, but we'll never know what could have been.
Because he makes a lot more money streaming and elo boosting.
Apdo is imo the greatest League player of all time, he just dosent want to waste time on pro play when elo boosting is more profitable for him. He's always taking number 1 Challenger spots on the ladder he wants to get it on. He dosent need to have absurd more mechanics then the rest in soloque, he just outsmarts them
Meanwhile he's still the best player in LoL history, period. But you talk about him like he suddenly lost the ability to win the game from any role.
Thank you for making this video on 5 year old news :)
League of legends is dying anyways, Riot better unban him like Tyler1 to revive league
League is not dying xD number 1 pc played game.
Hes got unbanned 2015 tho
The fact that celebrities and athletes from soccer, football and NBA plays Fortnite brings another perspective. Not to mention, it is always in mainstream media.
League is exact same still, YOU ARE FORCED TO play champs in the meta when in Ranked. League has no freedom like Fortnite, where you can go wherever and do whatever. If you think league is different, think again. I have been playing league since Season 2 and nothing special...
Yeah if you don't play meta champs they will be toxic to you and trash talk the fuck out of you for not playing meta champs. It doesn't matter if they play their champs or not. Champs always UNBALANCED and not fair lol
Not only that he was the legend but his teamates were too.Sad that they lost carrier but they held their pride
You're saying it like he inst 1 of the best midlaner in the world anymore lol
"The return of Dopa"
That'll be hype
can anyone tell the names of his current accounts or is there any social platform i can follow him on, like the one he actually uses.
spyrde nice try rito
spyrde he's on youtube 'official dopa'
Bullet 😂. Im just curious
ruclips.net/channel/UCt15X5eHLwyP8PpNtQTkuDQvideos

I think this video makes it seem like Apdo isn't the god he was before when he currently still is every bit as good as he was before.
If you ask me... While challengers can smurf and trolls can keep joining your queue, a little boosting doesn't hurt. As you cant maintain high elo eventually u ll drop off.
Riot is sounding like tyrants in this video
It hurts when you get some boosted virgin on ur team in diamond elo who is actually silver :(
Boosting hurts the players who rightfully got in their ranks. That’s why there are many hard stucks. (Based on ph) they can’t perform that well on that elo thus dragging others down too
I know and I used to believe the concept was hurting the community. But in last 2-3 years, its has so happened that even if you play games 2 elo level higher than current form, you can not carry a team with one troll at all. But anyways, doesnt matter what I say. Rito still does what they deem fit. Even if it means challenging them to audit last 15 ranked games of person reporting and person reported.
Your right.. a diamond player can go back at plat and be diamond again with ease but be hardstuck at diamond because he just can't go up and he knows why
LOL a dimaond wont fall off to plat unless 1) he was himself boosted 2) he too has string of trolls on team which i suppose cant be possible 3) he is himself trolling.
Even if he falls, he can bounce back ... he has talent on his side... right?
I am not debating on the concept but its only for the video and apdo that 1000 years ban is out straight dick move by riot.
I hope you guys do another video about Apdo that tells his story with better context. Trying to tell it through the lens of the shortest professional game doesn't really do it justice. I mean he didn't even play in that game. But the things he has done on his own in the world's most competitive solo-q ladders are ridiculous and probably do deserve being highlighted in your series. The best way to understand what makes Apdo special is through the eyes of pro players that play against him in solo que. There's some great quotes out there in videos from Thorin and LS. When players like imp and flame in their primes are scared of you, it deserves a mention. I usually love these segments but I was disappointed by this one.
I hate pineapple on pizza
true dat
Alonso Diaz That's very unfortunate
Tony Nguyen you are living a lie
THANK YOU! I was about to dump my girlfriend because she got me one, she promised to never do it again.
Alonso Diaz
Fucking heretic
"just a guy who playing league of legends with a plateful of money" Isn't that the dream???
man, I just can't stand this writer
Vacant i know right sounds like they're sending him off to graduate
This is so dramatic
It's good to see that Riot takes eloboosting seriously.
It's extremely frustrating to get queued with an elo booster or a boosted player.
apdo will never go pro it seems..
I feel apdo will trying out to an esport team this year I feel it
Apdo>Faker
xd yeah buddy
I think the the main reasons he doesn't play professional games are: 1. he hates riot that gave him such a strict ban from playing LoL; 2. He can earn way more than any regular professional players by simply streaming 4 or 5 times a weak instead of having a very tight schedule when playing professionally; BTW, people who watch his stream in Chinese gave him crazy amount of gift (or money) every time he goes online, and due to a huge fan base in China he could he really earn a lot as the saying "many a little makes a mickle“. But, it is true that he is quite a tragic figure who is not even considering to prove himself in the professional stage while known as the "best midlaner in LoL".
#platefullofmoney
Apdo one of the best players of all time regardless of not playing on a professional team
They perma banned faker's counter
its almost as if riot did it to protect their golden horse.
that is the single greatest picture tbf
Why flame Riot when they are just doing what's best fot their creation? If you don't like Riot's policies then don't play their ggames Easy.
i would agree to that, had Tryndamere (Marc Merill, Riot's co-founder) not been exposed for eloboosting himself.
There are a shit ton of videos about it, but basically he figured some guy was eloboosting and blackmailed him with "boost me or I ban you". When finally exposed, Marc Merill fined himself USD 10k, which he donated to a charity org in which he is the very chairman.
IF Riot was a pure innocent company, I would totally agree with you. Sadly, that's not the case. =/
Absolute A+ logic there pal. You're not allowed to call out a companies shitty business practices simply because you enjoy their products? Brb I'm gonna go work at a Nike sweatshop for leisure.
"if you don't like the politics just leave the country scrub" U wut m8
"if you don't like your parents abandon them" lmao
Once upon a time he was the greatest player in the world. But now? He’s the greatest player in the world with a plate full of money.
League of legend is growing into a professional esports and I think it makes complete sense to ban apdo. There is no argument he is the best solo queue player in the world, but elo boosting is not a glory thing and it bring permanent damage and deterioration to the game integrity.
Tbh, I feel shame for him, especially for that troll game. What a waste of talent. He could be the greatest esports player of all time, but now he’s just a solo queue player with bunch of money. Also, his talent is not truly tested, to compete at the highest level, it’s not only about skills, it is also about teamwork, mentality, consistency and class. He has skills, but really sad he cannot prove himself for the rest.
I agree, lots of man love for him here in comments but I see him more of a spoilt brat. He could've achieved sporting greatness the likes of Jordan, Federer, Woods, Faker, Gretzky. All who played the system to their advantage and etched their names in history. Instead his fanboys will only remember him as an unproven on the international stage rebel.
He is what you call
*Uncrowned King*
They didn't clearly explain the thing about the girl and Apdo. The girl's goal was to clearly do it with Apdo and not to boost her acc, it was ambiguous to say that she wants to have a romantic relationship because all she wants is to have *** with Apdo. The girl is infamously known as someone who had s** with other pro gamers/players because she considers it as an achievement, a trophy to obtain.
john chi probably the only woman in the world, who thinks that needing to pay money to men for sex is achievement?
I think they call that prostitution. But considering doing that an achievement is kind of... exceptional as hell.
2:50 You wrote 갈리오 underneath Garen when it should be 가린
Riot doesn't just nerf OP champions, but players and teams as well. They don't want OP players and OP teams so they banned the counterplayer against Faker.
Yup, they didn't ban him because he was cheating their system and breaking their rules, they did it because he was a Faker tier player... That's why BDD and Crown have been banned... oh wait.
Well that's just how it works for riot
Yuri Florece And now they nerfed SKT. See how SKT cant adopt to new riot system. Now they want a new team.
"He was getting paid for boosting other players."
It doesn't matter how good a player is, once you break the game's rules, you're out.
Not even close to the truth... many of pro players and streamers have broken the rules of league even streaming it: use of acc of other player/ playing on "e-bay" acc/ getting fun on low elo acc/ trolling games and so on... not like they get banned 99% cases...
He was also working with Korean or/and Chinese media getting paid for streaming games online and on TV, interviews, etc. This guy guy is genius not only on the game scene, he doesn't need Riot.
once i faced Apdo, i never want face him again, trust me. He knows every move youll do.
u are gold in euw -.-"
busteddd
We got a 10yr old here xd
LMFAOOOOO
Thats not my main account dude
4:40 dafuq u mean was he's still the best midlaner in my eyes
is it just me or was apdo over-glorified in this video? lol
Scum Heart
Scum Heart dont think so. If you watch his stream or a Highlight of it youll understand that he is not like any other player
Eh, I don't think so. The dude is actually a legend in his own right, and a year or two ago he was considered the only person in the world who could go toe to toe with faker. The main thing he is lacking is experience with the disciplined and structured style of pro play. Don't really keep up with him anymore though, so I don't know if he is still as good as he used to be.
he was being under-glorified, actually. that guy is with 100% certainty the best league of legends player to ever play this game. if faker impresses one, apdo will outclass him by lengths.
no, he's the best solo queue player. he reached rank 1 in korea and china each season he has played.
He turned her down and she turned him in... nice play
Faker is better 💯
I consider abdo to be the greatest mid laner ever think about he is the man that discovered perfect wave control
