“This placed China just a teensy bit ahead of the United States”

It’s 3-4 on a busy day if you count HOTS coverage and DOTA coverage, but as I said, you can click on his name and confirm for yourself it’s not 4 or 5 a day. It’s 1-2 a day.

No, they’re not. Even right now on Douya, DOTA is #3, after Hearthstone at #2, and even then Crossfire is often ahead of DOTA. League is always #1 though. Same on Twitch.

I’m not talking about Twitch. Twitch is barely a fraction of the total viewership. The EDG v FNC game right now has 1.9 million viewers (and this is quarterfinals) on Douyu. That’s China. You know China right, the country that doesn’t give a fuck about DOTA? Same with Korea.

League is a much more popular video game than DOTA, Worlds for League has a much higher viewership than The International.

In viewership, it very much is.

No, you’re thinking of Dash Dingo from that one Simpsons episode.

You can click on Yannick’s name and see for yourself that there haven’t been five articles a day. It’s usually one or two. At least this actual coverage of an event, not beating a dead horse like this site’s Destiny coverage.

I just spent the night playing League with him, he knows a fair bit about the game, and unlike your inaccurate summation of him, one of his best qualities is how inquisitive he is about the game. What he doesn’t know, he seeks to know through questions, and that’s more than can be said about a lot of game journalists.…

Of all the matchups to post this on, believe me, you’d know if SKT didn’t win by the time you got off of work if it happened. This one was a gimme.

If you haven’t noticed, that’s the meta in mid lane. Mid lane is often a utility role now, that’s why Lulu is such a contested pick right now. Mid is not dissimilar from top lane in S4 or S3, where it was a wet noodle fight for farming. To compliment that, mid laners are even taking teleport (like a top laner would)…

Sure, except the team is KT. The same way LGD is not LEG, simply because it makes sense to you. The company sponsoring KT Rolster is Korea Telecom, also known as KT. The team once was KTA and KTB when they were KT Rolster Arrows, and KT Rolster Bullets, but never KTR. Again, because the company is KT.

LGD lost most of their games in P/B, whereas TSM lost most of their games due to playstyle (and lack of individual talent). Where LGD has undeniable individual talent, you have some of the best players to ever play the game on their team. We saw in week two, when they aren’t fumbling over their egos and doing P/B…

“Competitive”, TSM played the exact same pretty much every game, which is the NA style of turtling up until late game and not taking any potential risks so you don’t throw the game. So, yes, it was “competitive”, the same way a boxer with his gloves up blocking punches while getting pummeled to death and losing is…

I’m aware. LGD lost the majority of their games in P/B. As YamatoCannon said on the analyst desk about EDG (and it seemed applicable for LGD more so), it seemed as if they were covering up the opponent’s picks and bans, and just going on comfort picks. The fact they didn’t ban Mordekaiser, twice if I’m not mistaken,…

There is no KTR. There is KT.

And this is wrong, “And despite TSM’s many weaknesses, Origen still managed to lose to them once, which is more of a credit to their own sloppiness than it is a sign of TSM’s prowess”

That is surprising though. The fact that Peke and Soaz have been this good for this amount of time is a huge surprise because there are hardly any other players who can claim that longevity.

“At the same time, I don’t think Origen really had to try that hard to get to where they are right now.”

There was never a time when Amazing and Xpecial were on the same team. Amazing joined at the beginning of season 4 summer split, right as Xpecial was removed from the team.
