Video for how build actually good decks! I talk a bit about some interesting concepts around deck narratives at the end since it feels like something people don't really talk about.

Comparing winrates between Los Angeles and Singapore RQs (main event only)
This is something that I wanted to see, how the Stacked Deck ban changed the meta, who benefited, who lost and how players adapted themselves.
Video recapping my #LARQ weekend, including my scrubbery and some example game states that cost me Round 2 and 4 in the Main event!

I'd like to thank everyone who came up to me and said hi at #RQLA! This is the first time attending an event as a person with any real social media presence, so having people come up and recognize me and even asking for signatures and photos, was a really humbling experience and makes me want to continue to make good quality content for everyone! Sorry for the bad signatures I've never really had to sign as Daremx before so I'll try to make it look better next time LMAO.
Overall I had a great time this weekend, at least walking out with a metal Mel and Rek'sai (even though I did horrible in the main).
For anyone curious, this is the list, it's pretty bad and definitely around 10 slots that should be changed. Partnered with Yasuo this deck is quite strong.

Round 5 vs. Yasuo/Irelia W 🎲❌
Total 2v2: 4-1
Split last round, pretty fun format. Decree of Rage + Fizz to kill 2 stellacorns felt preeeeeetty good I won't lie.
If you’re out at #RQLA and were handed a “Gold poro token” from @daremxstreams or @humblegreek that art is me!! I hope you guys like them and I wish I could be there myself to hand them out! But huge shoutout to my friends for sharing some of my art with you guys for me :-)
@POGCHUNGUS67 Now that I'm out of the full competitor mindset I'm more upset about the stacked deck ban being so close to the RQ LOL I swear my version was so much better pre-bans 😭😭
Bombed out at 3-3 of the main event, definitely a frustrating experience because I lost because of some minor misplays and some variance killing my games. This deck tends to be extremely consistent so losing multiple games to missing a turn 1 play while running so many is frustrating for sure.
Upon reflection, I was correct in saying my version of the deck is no longer the correct variation of the list after the stacked deck bans. Given more time I think I could have figured out a different version but with only a week it just wasn't possible :(
Pretty disappointed in the showing today but I'll be trying my best at the RC later this year. I'll consider continuing to run Draven but will just gravitate towards a playstyle that works for me. I enjoy playing flexible slower midrange decks so wherever that ends up I'll be happy.
Alright today's the big day, locking in for the main event! Starting off with a bye obviously so I'll be giving updates in the thread starting Round 2. You can follow along here live!

Opponent had some pretty rough draws, this matchup is supposed to be bad for me but he just didn't draw anything. We take those
