So glad to see you guys adres the quickshot situation... so far only saw laure connecting herself to it (and marc merril... which. just feels wrong.) But the complete and utter silence from everyone else from the broadcast just.. feels wrong. This man was the LEC.
The running gag of the deafening silence at the end of the subject and Monte finally starts another conversation for 3 seconds and Thorin sscreams " BUT HERE'S THE JOKE MONTE" never gets old
@@ramilgarifullin3702yeah idk if I'd say that they are fine 💀 besides, blizzard has a way bigger more degenerate cult following. blizzard relies on old fans who grew up with their games, they have to rely on those peopöe solely because young people simply arent interested in blizzard anymore. riot on the other hand literally only advertises to young people and nobody else. long-term fans keep taking L's for the good of newcomers. riots plan is way more stable and withput microsoft or activisiom blizzard would long be done by now
I wasn't aware that it was Guldborg that posted the original video. That makes it even worse since he has now essentially replaced Quickshot on the broadcast!
German Law student chiming in on the quickshot-situation real quick: According to § 622 II Nr. 4 BGB, you need a 4 month notice to fire a employee that worked for you for 10 years.
Good luck and keep studying. With how Riot keeps ruining the scene, I am certain you will find yourself having to explain more German Law in the comments 😂
It was Monte and Thorin's old pal Rich who recorded the original deleted tweet and reposted it to get at Quickshot. Guess he was the only one that disliked Quickshot lol
I'm pretty sure somewhere behind the scenes there's all sorts of talks about "how do we cancel the people who are expensive but too powerful to lose for the broadcast" and when the stupid Quickshot joke (btw I'm actually 99% sure I saw him do the same joke sometime before in some bts footage) they were like "gottem"...
Even if it was in Germany, what he did doesn't even qualify as a Hitler salute. The gesture is pretty much used by anyone at Rap concerts. The joke itself isn't even offensive. Maybe a bit stupid, but between friends you are allowed to do stupid jokes honestly. Regarding Quickshot himself, I personally didn't enjoy his casting that much (I enjoy most of the others more than him in that department) as a host, I really liked him. He always seemed passionate and genuine and it's just sad, that they let him go like they did.
As a long time LPL viewer, I will say this for sure: LEC is losing Quickshot is the equivalent of LPL losing its Chinese Caster Guan (often known as 'God Guan for his prescient ways of predicting match results); if you need a more relatable analogy, this is also the equivalent of LCK losing caster Jun.
Too bad in todays age you can't just make a public statement explaining the context, and possibly an apology to those offended, and just move on with life. Heaven forbid people are reasonable nowadays 😅
Mortdog is one of the main reasons I LOVE tft so much. His insights into what’s happening behind the scenes keeps me interested in wanting to play more even when I’m frustrated with the game. It puts my mind at ease knowing someone on the tft team cares so much.
Well actually it's a common joke in Germany to call things the Hitler salute that look similar... Like "u can stop the Hitler salute I see that u have a question will come back to you soon" When someone raised their arm to ask a question in like university or stuff
i absolutely agree with the guys that quickshot would kill it in CS. This reeks of a Riot HQ decision. 10 years and you get shitcanned for something so benign. its crazy
I'm glad you guys gave so much time to talk about Quickshot and how braindead/unjust his firing was. He gave so much to this, and this is what they do to him in return - it's shameful. I hope they had to give him a massive bag.
I didn’t say this because he uploaded the video. But Goldburg is just bad for lol, does anyone genuinely like his analysis ever? When he got promoted to the LEC and got invited to cast worlds in his first year i was shocked, he did nothing good and his analysis was plain af while guys like histerics only got his first chance after like 5 years, is Goldburg like Riots golden child or what
And to think doublelift chose to retire this season, when he could have easily won adc of the split because there was 0 competition. This would have been the biggest boost to his ego for the past 5 years but because teams weren’t paying enough he chose to retire. The irony is hilarious
I'm surprised Monte has fallen for the narratives that "Perkz kept dying stupidly" or "he was bad in lane" so I'm glad Thorin made the clarification that Heretics being better is not down to him being gone. Didn't Zwyroo's Neeko solo troll against SK? Yet TH still won because now they have Trymbi who's making plays 24/7, even ganking a lot for Zwyroo which was something that never really happened when Perkz was there, he was just left out to dry and get ganked. And of course Jankos is playing like an MVP just like he did in Winter last year. Perkz absolutely did die stupidly, but that wasn't for the whole split, it was only in Week 3. His BO3 vs BDS was also bad, but wasn't he the ONLY ONE trying against SK? Topped the damage charts in all three games while the others griefed? Anyways I hope he switches back to adc but this is getting ridiculous. People are envious of succesful players like him, Rookie, Deft, Blaber etc.
Perkz was/has been terrible for a while.. that's not narrative just fact. Zwyoo has been passable at best.. and possibly been boosted by neeko (even Jackie's looked half decent on it).. Whats benefited Heretics most is Trymbi and Jankos getting into form.. all though again its b01.. other then g2 and maybe FNC.. anyone can beat anyone (other then giantx/rogue) on any given day
Perkz was ass. The fact that they are significantly better without him, with all of the people in the team saying that their comms and shotcalling was so disjointed with Perkz on the team. No way you just put Perkz and Blaber on a list with Rookie or Deft xD. Thorin will always defend Perkz - Perkz could go 0/17 and run head first into the tower every 5 seconds and Thorin would still come up with a reason why it wasnt Perkz fault and why it was everyone else on the team, the fans, the haters, etc that mindcontrolled him into playing like shit. Perkz was bad last split. Cope. Heretics look better - Not because Zwyroo has been insane, but because he is just doing enough to not run it and their comms are clean because they dont have Perkz trying to micro manage everyone in the game.
@azhus9307 he was mediocre since he joined VIT, but wasn't horseshit. He was just a mid table level mid with some occasional peaks and valleys. His winter split was by far his worst ever. He was doing just fine on C9, and he won a split there off the back of some really clutch plays. We don't need to rewrite history just because he performed like shit in his most recent split. He has been a bit mediocre for a couple years, but people need to stop acting like he was performing like he did in winter split the whole time since he came back to EU
It would be really cool to have him as a guest on LFN stuff provided it doesn't interfere with any settlement he made. His commentary on LEC would still be fun to have if he is still interested in it.
@@ShoorfLonelyLoklyThey were frauds though. They tried moving to other games, but their skillset and knowledge of the games were severely lacking. They had the opportunities, they failed to adapt.
You guys had me worried at the start with the quick shot scenario lmfao. And I’m glad i listened all the way through to let you guys cook. But your take is very reasonable. I do think that if this happened pre lawsuit this probably would’ve played out like you guys said, or I at least I hope it would’ve. But yea it sucks.
Riot firing Quickshot is just a long con to make LEC worse so LCS is better. NA has been jealous of EU for a long time, and they can't stand it. Quickshot is an OG for LEC and its genuinely depressing that he's gone.
"Many of you probably skipped to this section now..." I dont care about all the games. I watched LoL esport for 12 years but nowadays I just watch you guys because of the knowledgeof the depth of the industry and the funny banter. So I only watch the beginng, the sub questions and of the four horsemen.
I like how neither Monte or Thorin mentioned that after Guldborg deleted his tweet extremely quickly; it was their old pal Rich who recorded the deleted tweet and reposted it.
So Monte is probably spot on with why they waited so long to fire Quickshot. Aftrer X amount of time within a company the notice period gets longer. After 10 years, they basically had to wait at least 4 months (if he had been there 12 years, it would've been 5 months) to get him out for real. So the incident happened, they sat him down, sent him on a vacation until now and told him, that his employment would end. But he would still be at full pay for the time. God, I love our labor laws as an employee!
To the quickshot firing and German laws. There is a chance that he got a resignation right at that moment, BUT in germany there is something like a time hurdle if you wanne fire someone that has worked at your company for a certain time. To explain it simply, if you work at a company for 2 years, you get 3 months of "search" time after getting the termination letter before you get officially fired, but if you resign it is the same for the company, you cant just quit. (Obviously this is only in normal situations, I m not sure if quickshots action can be reason for immediate termination. This is where the potentiol lawsuit that monte mentioned could have been taken place) Considering he has been working there for around 10 years, there is a high chance his time is atleast 12-24 months (if its not regulated in the contract the german law has his own time table and yes it goes up ridiculously high if you work at a company for 20 years ect. Might be interesting for people outside of germany to know
2:01:19 dam monte give them a break! This was his first best of X match against a team with the most BoX experience in the league. It went as well as you would think lmao. I’m looking forward to their rematch next week. A month of practice will help them ALOT.
In Sweden we also have those kinds of labour laws meaning the employee is the one with most of the power. I think this is common in western european countries, I know for a fact they are like this in the nordic countries which is nice when big corporations like riot exist
Hearing you guys talk about LEC matches just makes me feel like they are match fixing. As you said on VCS , win and lose is not the only match fixing possible.
That entire Quickshot situation is just a testament to the absolute trash times we live in. People are just miserable. Here's to hoping he turns up on LFN in some capacity at least!
1- The guy that uploaded the video is an idiot, not because he didn't check the video and could have not uploaded it if he saw the joke but because it is disrespectful to make videos or take pictures of people and upload them without their consent. 2- Rito got rid of Dash in the LCS so I don't think this is just by chance, they could have been looking for a way to get rid of him and this was it. 3- As you guys said Quickshot may have walked out with a nice bag full of money and honestly he is so talented that he will find another job whenever he wants to.
Quickshot was the best left on LEC he was the LEC i will still watch some games but i am not going to watch the whole Lec again until it gets much better. Im loyal to Quickshot!
2:14:14 cloud9 has Zven now coaching them so no wonder they’re doing better. I just hope C9 keeps him for MSI but doubt it. C9 looking like they have money problems
yeah surely its zven thats making the difference and not that its c9 playing serious now that they are in playoffs while being able to prep drafts against specific teams
@@jackred422 weren’t they like a game away from not being in playoffs hahahaha. Berserker even said last split that he will not be on cloud9 if Zven isn’t there. And I mean he did play like it until Zven got back. Just in time for playoffs too! Perfect timing.
The whole Quickshot fiasco is a symptom of an ongoing degradation/stagnation of the LEC product, that has been ongoing since a few years at this point. From scavenging the caster pool, through layoffs, technical issues, uninspired or uninspired level of narratives (that one was always the case in Europe tbh), drops and other laughable attempts at making viewers engaged, to subsequent sabotaging of EU Masters. Makes me sad that this keeps going, but oh well at least NA broadcast is improving.
Always felt quickshot was one of few esports dads. Seemed like he always wanted the best for his people. The overall lec game quality feels lower than it has for years, and now the broadcast will suffer too. Looks like 2 lcs's over the horizon again.
the german angle on the hitler joke is so dumb. Nobody does more Hitler jokes and satire than germans. Its all over german TV and also the public funded TV stations: ruclips.net/video/Fj7NzNFkT68/видео.html ruclips.net/video/QVQIIK426wo/видео.html etc.
But I love how we get it in depth talk about how it’s not glorifying Hitler and it’s not a Nazi salute. This is this is the best watching white people back pedal to not try and seem racist. Unfortunately, white people don’t know anything about music. It’s not a Nazi salute it’s a DJ thing. It’s what DJs do. This is the funniest fucking bullshit.
Makes you think about the whole Quickshot situation. I mean, we can all collectively agree that this was ultimate low blow, a head scratcher, which only makes you think that someone within the org didn't really like Quickshot and had the power to just use this stupid silly video and get him fired. After such a long time, he must have had some enemies.
Quickshot can't do that. It is mild but can't handle the blow back or losing sponsers for something small. It sucks but darkside of the media. When I was growing up this is nothing but the world changed.
Okay, so Riot games wants to shut down a Rioter because he is potentially and possibly inadvertently leveraging his position at Riot to boost his Twitch stream. Meanwhile the one thing Rioters are historically notorious for is leveraging their position at Riot to bully everyone else into submission. But good to know there is a line in the sand. You can abuse your status all you want, just don't directly make money off of it.
Riot, like many are: -pro Hamas but anti nazi/DJ jokes; -misogynistic and feminist at the same time ; -extremely pro LGBTQ and pro China and Islam. You cannot make this shit up!
denzel washington one of the best actors in the world????????????????????! bro literally plays the same character in every movie, he is a 1 trick, he talks the same acts the same, his characters tend to even share pesnoality traits such as harsh but fair, cold blooded but kindhearted, wiser old dude. u seen him in 1 movie then u have seen his entire carrer
I'm just not watching LEC anymore. The backstab of Quikshot is too much anymore. Yeah I'm just one dude but it's all I can do besides watching his channel
Thoorin is still coping about EU is crazy. EU does well in one tournament and they’re the self proclaimed 2nd best region. They are booty for like 3 years straight mucking around with NA and still have a superiority complex. EU delusion and/or cope is a disease
hey Thorin, stfu for a bit and let monty talk without interupting him 35 times every sentence? plssssssss i like the show but holy shit thorin needs to stfu some times. the vein in montys head is about to burst
Dota and League are completely different. The only similarities are the genre. Dota isn't really an alternative to League, and thus there's no alternative.

How did Laure connect herself to it ? Did she make a tweet or you mean by responding on his tweet ?
The whole quickshot situation is so ridiculous and a complete betrayal of one of leagues most legendary status casters

@@ivankok4724 dash can smd he legit faded into obscurity. He's basically a janitor now 😂😂😂😂
@@ivankok4724 People weren't alerted about Dash situation when that happened, so I sincerely doubt they will learn their lesson this time.
The amount of people like "Oh my god, I cant believe he got fired for Hitler jokes" as if that is supposed to be shocking xD

its actually wild how many L's riot continue to take, smh. Quickshot deserves better
What's wild is that they could take 10 times as many Ls and still be fine due to how big they are. Literally too big to fail
@hardlo7146 too big to fail until they aren't. All those L's pile up
@@peterruf1462 that's cope. Look at blizzard. They're taking L after L for years and they're fine

I wasn't aware that it was Guldborg that posted the original video. That makes it even worse since he has now essentially replaced Quickshot on the broadcast!
"So that's it? After 10 years, so long good luck?"
"I don't recall saying good luck."
If the company treat their employees like this, no wonder most of the devs left, the MMO is probably doomed.

It makes me nauseous.
I'm too hyped for the Four Play Dune episode. Already watched NL and it was great.
2:16:44 100T countered the smolder with better scaling in senna + seraphine
the german angle on the hitler joke is so dumb. Nobody does more Hitler jokes and satire than germans. Its all over german TV and also the public funded TV stations:
ruclips.net/video/Fj7NzNFkT68/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/QVQIIK426wo/видео.html
etc.
SK have 3 losses, and in all of those games they had huge leads which they found a way to throw. Hurts my Nisqy and Irrelevant loving heart!
The absolute goat of lol casting (in my humble opinion) and soul of the lec shafted over a quasi egdy joke off broadcast. Disgusting
So Quickshot on LFN when?
did thorin make a glass bead game reference?
"...only cockroaches and Riot..." - truer words were never spoken 🤣🤣
Can we get a 4 hoursemen episode talking about Vanguard anti-cheat coming to League?
what would they talk about? there are no issues with vanguard. people with 0 IT knowledge spread a lot miss-information about kernel being an issue.

Quickshot was the face of the LEC. FK RIOT.
Tarzan x Showmaker vs Chovy x Canyon. literally just switched teammates😂
It seems as if by their response, Monty and Thorn would be dancing the Hitler with quickshot.
But I love how we get it in depth talk about how it’s not glorifying Hitler and it’s not a Nazi salute. This is this is the best watching white people back pedal to not try and seem racist. Unfortunately, white people don’t know anything about music. It’s not a Nazi salute it’s a DJ thing. It’s what DJs do. This is the funniest fucking bullshit.
Hitler jokes are so mild why are you even offended?
i remember Peanut the baby on those ROX teams. wish that team wouldve won something
Makes you think about the whole Quickshot situation. I mean, we can all collectively agree that this was ultimate low blow, a head scratcher, which only makes you think that someone within the org didn't really like Quickshot and had the power to just use this stupid silly video and get him fired. After such a long time, he must have had some enemies.
Quickshot can't do that. It is mild but can't handle the blow back or losing sponsers for something small. It sucks but darkside of the media. When I was growing up this is nothing but the world changed.
G2 picking ahri lee sin into poppy Taliyah was just sad
G2 was red side btw
Okay, so Riot games wants to shut down a Rioter because he is potentially and possibly inadvertently leveraging his position at Riot to boost his Twitch stream.
Meanwhile the one thing Rioters are historically notorious for is leveraging their position at Riot to bully everyone else into submission. But good to know there is a line in the sand. You can abuse your status all you want, just don't directly make money off of it.
Riot, like many are:
-pro Hamas but anti nazi/DJ jokes;
-misogynistic and feminist at the same time ;
-extremely pro LGBTQ and pro China and Islam.
You cannot make this shit up!
"digital goods".. i can vividly see rioters inventing NFTs XD
we need south park to make fun of the structure of riot games. shit would be legendary
It's Spring. No one cares they lost. You remember they beat the LPL Gauntlet including the "Goat" JGD? The'll be fine.
The team liquid takes aged like milk
I liked Dennis the Menace. 😢
Quickshot fired for saying "Hitler." What a joke. I feel bad for the guy that accidentally posted it.
denzel washington one of the best actors in the world????????????????????! bro literally plays the same character in every movie, he is a 1 trick, he talks the same acts the same, his characters tend to even share pesnoality traits such as harsh but fair, cold blooded but kindhearted, wiser old dude. u seen him in 1 movie then u have seen his entire carrer
Cancel culture is the true blight of modern society.
are we still taking esportsbet as a sponsor? :/
10 years thrown out because of a joke...
...
...
...
That's not funny...
I liked quickshot... what a shame :(
Some might say that video was Quiskshot's audition tape for lfn
I'm just not watching LEC anymore. The backstab of Quikshot is too much anymore. Yeah I'm just one dude but it's all I can do besides watching his channel
yes quickshotwas and i quit watching the lec because he wasnt and isnt there anymore.
the quickshot thing is what happens when you normalize cancel culture, the wokes didn't wanna hear it tho
Thoorin is still coping about EU is crazy. EU does well in one tournament and they’re the self proclaimed 2nd best region. They are booty for like 3 years straight mucking around with NA and still have a superiority complex. EU delusion and/or cope is a disease

Trying to hard to defend , pretty sus.
Ah yes summoning insight the show featuring Thorin and his permament guest Thorin.😂
hey Thorin, stfu for a bit and let monty talk without interupting him 35 times every sentence? plssssssss i like the show but holy shit thorin needs to stfu some times. the vein in montys head is about to burst
why are people still interested in riots games at all. Better shit exists out there.
Dota and League are completely different. The only similarities are the genre. Dota isn't really an alternative to League, and thus there's no alternative.
