It's actually my first time watching a Korean league match. Man my Korean is rusty, I read maybe half the text before they fade away.

I can't help but laugh at the raging Redditors who want LiQuid's head right now because he's trying to put a good team together.

E-sports pros aren't athletes.

The real problem with the "scene" and all the community development is that League will be gone in 2-3 years. Replaced by the newest flavor of MOBA or whatever comes next. I don't think there's a real solution to that problem except getting ahead of the next trend.

when have you ever watched aphro on lan besides when he was playing support main for the first time in his life?

Just started playing this weekend, seems really fun in co-op so far. Kind of afraid I'll suck in pvp though. Any key pointers from you vets? Been using Wukong so far for a few matches, is that ok or a no-no?

Almost every game he played for Fear I watched he was outfarmed and couldn't carry. He's a solo queue hero. I enjoy his stream but I don't think he can handle the pressure at all.

Mute everybody.

Try and bite the bullet and learn several types of champs so you can be a team player and fill whatever role is needed. I don't know if this gets any better once you enter Ranked but in non-ranked pvp people play whatever champ they want regardless of how horrible the team composition is so I've ended up playing a lot of support champs otherwise we'll end up with a team of entirely ADC. >_>

pretty sure while aphro was there fear played in exactly 0 LANs but k

**Viq** · 2013-10-15 06:02

The Korean teams are using WCG as a way to try out new members and comps. It's not really working, but seeing a Shyvana/Leona/Oriana/Ez/Annie comp is interesting. Too bad Watch's jungle Leona is butt tier.

EDIT: Emperor, the new ADC for CJ Blaze, is playing a mean Cait and Corki. He might be someone to keep an eye on over the next split and season.

Keep dodging, that's fine.

He's a solo queue hero. Prove me wrong.

Wukong is a great starting character. Start by learning how to CS properly. That is critical to every aspect of the game.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was more focused on getting into the commentary/non-player side of the tournament scene. Good personality and the kids dig him.

Could anyone help me understand how the ranked system works? I'm currently Bronze 1, but it seems like I'm usually matched with Silver 1-3 and Gold 5 players (both my team and the enemy) in 99% of my games.

Is there some sort of hidden ELO mechanic that actually effects these things? I've been getting the feeling that Bronze, Silver, Gold etc. are just symbolic and the real matchmaking is all done behind the scenes.

**Gryffes** · 2013-10-15 10:21

Pretty much exactly that.

Matchmaking rating ( elo ) is hidden, yet it determines who you get matched up with.

If you're in bronze 1 and regularly hitting mid silver/gold then you should be promoted pretty rapidly.

Yes, is the simple answer.

Yeah, until you get trolled in 4 different promo series and then the tier LP locking system kicks in and you have to win 20 games just to get to promo again.

Riot adds the 17-year old age restriction to SEA leagues. Gama Bears disbands. So long, majestic asian afro.

I could see him being a great color commentator or even a stage presence like Sjokz. Riot, hire him pls.

I can't believe the luck of the Gamma Bears

That boy's hair is just fantastic.

Pretty neat if you ask me.

**Purrrfect** · 2013-10-15 18:25

That sounds cool as long as the typical 'DPS wait' isn't too high.

Couple questions:
What do ADC and CS stand for?
The top and bottom lanes are the same right? There's no real difference besides the turn direction and nearby jungle monsters?

Huge differences between top and bottom

ADC = Attack Damage Carry

CS= Creep Score (minions killed)
