ok but like, thorin is the french fries of league creators. he goes with everyone, he just makes everyone more enjoyable to watch. wouldnt be super interested in watching him solo, but will watch him with basically anyone else, even if i hate them, he just makes it so good i like monte btw
People called JDG meta proof last year but in a actuality there were some noticeable holes (Azir), but looking at this GENG roster they actually are meta proof, the AP jungle meta didn’t come into affect until MSI, they went 17-1 in spring and didn’t drop a series in playoffs in a tank jungle meta. You look at Kiin, arguably the most flexible top of all time, Carries, tanks, AD or AP. Canyon, the best carry JG of all time and has really come into his own on tanks. Chovy, like serious what’s scarier his ASol and Azir or Yone and Corki. Peyz has fathered Guma and Viper in every hyper carry meta to date, and has incredible weak side pocket picks. Lehends is just so incredibly flexible and good at everything, not even Yuumi can stop him because of his Singed
Peyz is worst than both Viper and Guma have you watched them. Peyz shines cause he plays in the perfect team. Look at vipers team and T1 do not play for botlane so how can Guma really shine.
I am really tired of all-inclusive tournaments where over half the matches suck. Why can't we just have at least one tournament with the exclusively best teams in the world?
I dont agree with the take that anyone should take the bag, how can you advocate for that? Sure it makes sense logically, but morally it is reprehensible. Yes it is hard to decline the bag, but so are many decisions in life where it is easier to just do something morally corrupt instead of doing the right thing.
10:00 i hope GenG can golden road, also i don't know why NONE of the casters or talent at MSI ever once mentioned Chovy laying the first brick of the golden road with the golden left hand of Knight or some shit, would have been such an epic call.
How's this roster doing... not lower than 3rd place at any event for the last 3 yrs.... we r very spoiled. Yall really make yall whole platform off being haters.
Faker can win 2 worlds in a row without a super team (these two dont rate the players in that team either) but Chovy winning with a giga super team is suddenly contending to become the GOAT. This is literally the first year after 2020 that he has shown a good performance internationally.
45:00 I felt like Monte was directly attacking a lot of my classmates from college here haha. I'm really glad I bounced out of thinking I could do fanart for a living, and did something marketable.
2:18:42 Biggest dropoffs in the history of LoL? bengi winning Worlds 2016 then immediately getting relegated in China. MaRin winning Worlds 2015 then immediately playing relegations in China. Bang playing all those years on SKT and immediately going 10th on 100T, same for Wolf except he went to TURKEY and couldn't win there. Zeus, Oner, Gumayusi and Keria dominating the LCK then being by far the worst team in the league with Poby. I wonder what all these players (frauds) have in common?
Zeus got gapped by kingen because I’m sure in comms it went like him saying “don’t worry about banning aatrox I’ll counter it” into losing game 5 of the worlds to drx so hard to it.
Faker being bad that whole poby year is so false. He was having an all time best spring split for himself, then in summer he was dealing with carpel tunnel after MSI and was clearly not the same. I don't think you can honestly say that it isnt fucking impressive for T1 to go from barely getting into playoffs, to making it through to the LCK finals, and then winning worlds. That is fucking impressive.
The KSA thing seems a little "pick and choose" with morality considering domestic suffering, GRANTED our federal governments arent investing in esports competition (Military branches do have sponsorships of specific teams).
never understood why public figures cant get a part time job? If your only getting one or two days a week of work casting(or writing or acting to cover another similar industry) then u clearly have free time to work almost full time at a restaurant or department store or gas station etc. i live in the city and pay my bills as an assistant manager at a convience store. not like a i have tons of disposable income but my bills are covered
1:39:15 i was just thinking yamato could do voice of yamato on lfn (after watching best damn league show) and have it have different guest interviews. maybe a monthly or bi weekly show.
there's a bit of irony that dgon, someone who host a show in lfn. is taking the saudi bag while the 2 other shows openly shits on saudi. just shows how important/tempting that bag is.
45:27 spitting hard facts I never understood why this was the norm especially in a field that’s primary focus is content/entertainment. Very few are proactive on their own time growing their brand and wow crazy they benefit a lot from it (caedral most obvious example)
@@MrDespisedIcon I get they hate t1 fans but they are going too far the other way. They are just constantly trying to downplay T1 for 2 years when they have been the overall best team on average for the past 2 years. All while GenG assembles the 3rd iteration of their super team. These two say they love players that perform under pressure while being Chovy fanboys when Chovy was the no1 reason for their loss against both BLG series last year and also being GAPPED in 2022 worlds vs DRX. I agree Chovy has been the overall best midlaner for few years but has been choking internationls for the past 2 years. The double standards are unreal with these 2.
@@davienssprime123 If chovy was the no1 reason they lost to BLG at worlds, Faker is the no1 reason why t1 hasn't won every single split and worlds. Also chovy got gapped in worlds vs DRX but Faker got gapped even harder, rewatch world finals and you will see it was Faker who played worse than Zeus. Also saying 2023 Geng is a superteam is the most deranged thing when by definition you can't be a superteam with an unproven rookie player. Going into every single LCK split for the past 3 years T1 was by the majority the favorite to win, 2023 GenG were expected to be a 4-5th place team just go back and watch the preseason rankings so saying T1 is losing to superteams is just false they lose because Chovy shits on Faker. Also T1 failing to win titles when their fans claim they are the best team in the world with the 5 best players is a disappointment especially when BLG beat them playing the worst they played all year and when they spent by far the most money in the offseason.
@@davienssprime123 How has “the best overall team in the last 2 years” lost literally all 4 lck splits in the time span to geng? Specially now that geng are MSI champs I fail to see how anyone could argue that T1 has been better in the last 24 months.
@@jarjar2364 Keria Faker and Zeus are all the no1 reasons why they lost 2022 WFinals. Faker did not get as hard as chovy in 2022, simply because Zeka did not even have to perform as well as he did vs GENG. T1 was favoritrs to win 2022 Spring, 2023 Spring and 2022 MSI Pre torunament not pre finals. You should get your head checked if you think GENG 2023 was expected to be 4-5th place. This is a fucking joke, maybe some idiots had them ranked 4th pre 2023 Spring. T1 has placed the best among all teams consecutively for the last 2 years. Its just a fact. BLG beat T1 while T1 has played the worst they have in 3 years. Even DOM agrees with it and still went to 5 games. BLG was mot playing the worst wtf are you saying. This is all while Chovy is supposed to be the second comming of Jesus and Faker is in his retirement run. Not to mention GENG was th favorites to win worlds in both 2022 and 2023 Worlds andMSI(JDG and GENG).
42:18 i agree completely the "mental health" point some of the talent tried to make to justify them going was in such bad faith. it is a selfish mental health point because it only regards their own, while disregarding the same sentiment for people in much worse conditions; making it impossible for it to be a true values stance for them and an obvious PR/ latching onto an important topic for sympathy, have some real "mental health/wellness" and RESILIENCE and personal accountability and you won't make these soft ass pleas and concessions or cope in a weird way. ffs.
Just a request as a Canadian I would like to be able to use your guys coupon codes but they typically don't work in Canada. Not sure if there's a anything you can do on your part.

Every time you mention a golden road it is less likely to golden road skt was supposed to golden road g2 was supposed to golden jdg was supposed to golden road GENG is supposed to golden road
Eh. People only said T1 should golden road because they won worlds, but forget to mention that was their only win in like 2 years. JDG Probably golden roads it if faker doesn't take out his anger on rulers varus. It's still unlikely GenG golden road, but considering the fact they seem to only be getting better, they have the best player in the world currently and T1/BLG both look worse than they did prior, definitely have a chance. In the end of the day, bringing up the golden road gets clicks

Kanye used to have so much personality, soul, and character in his music, which helped balance out his insane ego. Nowadays, especially, it's entirely ego and distasteful antics left and right with no redeeming qualities. Vultures just screams sex and porn addiction, it has some decent sounds sonically, but it's an awful listen from a content standpoint. Not to mention Kanye constantly whoring out his wife publicly, making her walk around practically nude for his own ego, AND the anti semitism. I was never even one of the OG Kanye haters. I enjoyed most projects up to and including Donda. But it's impossible to defend that man these days, especially when his bullshit permeates the music so much.
My point of vu in the EWC, if you don't get mad at your own government accepting money from Saudi, if you don't get mad at big sporting events, celebrities accepting gift and money from Saudi. Please don't get mad at those orgs and specially those casters who are just trying to make a living.
