      He should be tracked down and interviewed. Did he realize/believe it was Rick and Faker? Why did he leave?
      Edit: I thought he didn't know and he got mad at another player. I still think the guy didn't know, but he was mad at '''the Lucian" because he question-pinged him 3 times right before he quit.

      It was Lucian (Rick Fox) and Ivern bot lane vs Jinx and Zyra. They were losing the laning phase really badly. The time that Ivern dc'd the game was when they lost a trade which forces the Lucian to run away and left Ivern to die. Ivern starting question mark pinging Lucian and said "uhmmm, k, fk this" and left the game.

      @yummychips_ 4 года назад +1

      idk, Rick Fox is a great ambassador. But if you been reading up on the business side of Esports. Games with high meta changes, are bad business investments.
      It's to big of a gamble to get a team to win NA, since all the top teams stay at the top cause they already know the ins and outs, and got connections to draft the best new blood. New teams can't make that kind of pull on new players. If the new recruit is good to, they will most likely go to a top team already. If the new team can't compete they make no money, and eventually die off or go into a massive lost.
      Not only that, USA compared to other regions makes practically no money. Most of the big name games with huge followings, NA barley grabs any titles or top 4s internationally. So investment into a team is really going against the odds. Even if you were able to get a hold of a top tier NA team. They can get dethroned from top NA position practically at any event, they will probably never hit global prestige, you have to cycle new blood constantly, and finally you have to push your brand which is even harder cause of the previous issues.
