Tweeted about getting into grad school and buying a new record, neglected to tweet about getting engaged. I’ve never been more excited for anything. @PatchMedia can’t wait to throw an insane wedding with you and love you for the rest of my life probably a little more every day
@DShyKnock Yeah the old isn’t ever coming back but I wonder if they will eventually push towards a more open circuit like Val. @dekkar44 wrote an awesome piece on formats and such I think you’d enjoy

Not sure I agree (esp with the Luden’s disagreement) like if the ball is just going on naafiri or nocturne to blow up people it’s probably best
Unsure about the wit’s end one, I get saying it’s weak but I’d want to see more info
I spent a week analyzing itemization choices made by LCS and LEC teams. Almost every team that I analyzed loses 3-5% win probability per game to shopkeeper.
Itemization is nuanced and situational by nature, but there are items that are completely dominated by their alternatives, meaning that they should be practically never be bought.
As an example, Pro Gnars have an (outdated) tendency to build Wit's End. If you want tenacity/tankiness/offense, Sterak's is better. If you want MR, Kaenic Rookern is always better.
Fixing these kinds of mistakes is as simple as preparing an item set for every champ in advance based on a combination of data + expert (pro/coach) opinions.
My hypothesis is that you could turn a good tier-1 team into a world champion contender by optimizing their builds. I talked to ~10 western teams but the interest in investing into this was low.
Sami was a wonderful player and person to work with. I’m lucky enough to have worked with him for so long and to have spent some IRL time with him
Best of luck Sami I’ll miss you
Spring split was my last on @BlueOtterGG
Grateful to the org for taking a chance on me back then and sticking with me. I’ve experienced so much I otherwise wouldn’t have thanks to them.🥹
Looking forwards to Blue Otter summer!
Life moves on, being a Blotter is forever ❤️✊
We're turning the page to next season, but I wanted to say briefly how much I appreciate our players' grit and effort in relegations.
Everyone worked really hard all season long and we put in way more effort than people probably think.
Thanks for helping the org keep the spot
