It’s been a few days since I got back from #RCStuttgart. Winning this event was a complete dream come true. I’m really happy that I got to showcase the power of Kennen and bring the deck its first major trophy, especially into the field of all Rivens. (1/6)

BIG STUTTGART POST LOTS OF THOUGHTS:

Stuttgart was such an important and meaningful experience and I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to go and compete.

it was the debut weekend of Team @riftbaddies, and while I didn’t put up any big results, I’m sooo happy and proud of Jason for crushing and getting the ON Orianna!! Solid showing for our team and we’ll be even better in Vegas 😤🩷🖤

I’m also so excited for what the team means to me and so many other women and marginalized folks out there. this is by far only the beginning for us ~ and I really really appreciate all the love and support we got over the weekend. ❤️❤️

on a personal performance note, I’m not sure I’ve ever felt a deeper sting of defeat. a poor showing is one thing, but this time around I felt a real lack of the right kind of preparation, resulting in mistakes I wouldn’t have made with more reps (or more sleep) - both of which I could’ve worked harder on to mitigate. I know I had life stuff get in the way, and that’s totally ok! But I’m gonna work extra hard to make sure to take that all into account moving forward.

I have no regrets though. without lows, our highs would mean nothing. and this experience in Stuttgart will be the point that pushes me that much further to win in the future.

Thank you all so much for the support this weekend. I’m so thankful for the community we’ve gathered, and every single one of you that comes up to me and says hi, or wishes me luck online - y’all make my day and event all that much more special <3

I’m so so pumped for Vegas, and y’all better bet I’ll be giving it my all every single day until then. ❤️❤️❤️

[Team Micelion Riftbound @TeamMicelion]

Hello!

We at Team Micelion would like to speak out publicly against the harassment that several of our players have been experiencing at the hands of this individual.

For months, he has been targeting both our players and our team, repeatedly mocking them and making comments about them across his social media platforms and livestreams, often bringing our nationality into it.

He has spread defamatory statements and lies about team members, including falsely implying that one of our players physically assaulted another participant. He has also posted videos like this one, which may seem insignificant on their own but are yet another example of an ongoing pattern of harassment.

Events are supposed to be a safe space, but situations like this show that they clearly aren't equally safe for everyone.

The fact that he waited until the event was over to post this only shows that he knows what he is doing is wrong. Nevertheless, we have documented everything he has done, and the full collection of evidence has been shared with @riotgames and @playriftbound @riftboundop.

We are concerned that, despite repeated incidents, this behavior has so far gone without consequence. Our players continue to be paired against this same person tournament after tournament, and we believe they deserve to feel safe and supported when they compete. We will not allow any of this to affect them, and we intend to take appropriate action.

Thank you.

Nvm I figured it out

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

I am now the proud owner of one (1) Overnumber Plated Orianna.

awawawawawawawa

[Aspirant's Climb x Merlion Riftbound Team @AspirantClimbRB]

He's done it! @Evansrhim1 is the first Regional Championship CHAMPION!!!! @riftboundop

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

@AdamSternTCG @riftbaddies @AspirantClimbRB @nalkpas @Evansrhim1 don't worry the last time i played a "free" champion unit was ekko :)

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

Finished 7-4-1 for 40th at RC Stuttgart, playing as part of Team @riftbaddies!

We also combined efforts testing with @AspirantClimbRB, and our Kennen list did very well, with @nalkpas getting 11th and @Evansrhim1 making top 8!!!

Tournament was a blast, even if the meta sucks :P

Sounds like this is off the table https://t.co/1BF5FU460K

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

Hm, it would be kind of funny to win the Ekko best of at the RC after getting Ekko banned...

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

@LONG10938198 @hogpog_98 You can also consider playing Obelisk going second over papertree

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

10-3-1 for 116th with Kennen at RQ LA, made my travel cost back in the preregional. Reasonable but unexciting result personally, but thrilled that the list I worked on did very well for several (@hogpog_98 barely missed top8!)

Probably will write a guide, we'll see.

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

@LONG10938198 @hogpog_98 Aspirant's Climb, try to line it up with Arena's Greatest (so usually game 1 or going second?)

[barczek @barczeek]

Hey @Challengertcg what do you think about your "DQ'd from an RQ for being clueless about the basic rules of the game" player's behavior in this clip?

Was he also clueless that he can't flat out stack his runes to perfection?

To do it on camera - cheating is his second nature.

[Sam Sherman @samdsherman]

I don't know what exactly happened with Koko, but if you are playing a 9/3 split in your kennen deck and you can guarantee you will hit a yellow rune by turn 2, that is a massive advantage and can impact your deckbuilding significantly. This is not a nothingburger accusation.

[Tortian @TortianCloud]

Lots of questions and people hypothesizing about what happened today - mostly because my husband is currently 7-0 and contending for best of LeBlanc. Here's a thread of information and I'd really appreciate visibility so more people can be informed and vigilant- #RQLA #riftbound

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

My Lux guide is now free. While it is no longer materially useful as a deck guide, it still might be interesting read for those interested in the theory and inner workings behind combo decks.

You can find it at https://t.co/2bawObb9uD

[Jason Ye @JasonILTG]

In light of the ban coming waaaaaaaay faster than I expected (I thought it would be post-LA lol), I am willing to refund anyone who bought my guide in the last 24 hours - just request on Patreon.

My plan is to release the guide publicly once the ban takes affect on 9/18.
