No debates now on whether that G2 team is the real deal now.
And a reminder that the reason they are the one shining beacon in the entire West: is that they do it all right.
I laughed when I heard that they make Hans Sama do cold face plunges to regulate his nerves. I found it a bit much when I saw that they’d partially rebuilt the LEC stage in their practice room to simulate practice. I smiled when I heard that they knew that Carbs caused a late burst of lethargy for one player and so they couldn’t eat them before scrims.
From the top down: Culture is the most important word for them.
You can make arguments that this rigid structure has removed the Dionysian spirit of G2 rosters gone by, that spark that put them ahead creatively. But it becomes increasingly clear after time that they are attempting to create a framework for that creativity to grow through.
And you talk about difficult decisions, Yike and Miky out. Some people would’ve called for Hans head, or Brokenblade: difficult decisions in the market - that have been vindicated. Both of those players who have gone are top talents: but Skewmond and Labrov have showed an even higher level for the right now.
Buy low. Sell high. Making the decision based on your perspective, your truth that you see before the fans, and being confident in that vantage. That’s running a successful team - that’s having winning at the centre of your culture.
Scrim accountability: strict no bothering the players on their off day. That’s culture from @RomainBigeard.
Bringing Perkz back as both personality and because you believe he was at the forefront of your previous winning culture: it’s no different to a legend of a club becoming the assistant manager of a football club. That’s culture.
What this G2 team do that’s different to everyone else is being so sure of their methodology. That results cannot shake them. Results for them are a product of this methodology, not of rapid and frequent 90 degree shifts.
It’s not just everything on the rift. The players play great, but culture drives everything.
Thank you @G2League@AlbanDechelotte@Perkz@IsmaPedraza@MementoLoL@rodrigo_rlt
@lessisthebest1 I’d say zyra or seraphine. Seraphine bc she is always better in another role than sup and riot gave up on trying to make it work. Zyra bc she is entirely reliant on item effects and rng plant spawns
@lessisthebest1 Overall you should use these sites to help inform yourself on when and why you should vary from the most common build, rather than follow the numbers blindly. That itself is a skill for sure. And at the end of the day, these optimizations don’t make a large difference imo
@lessisthebest1 Mobalytics does too much assumptions on your playstyle to be useful, coachless is good for seeing if the most popular build is possibly not the most optimal build (but overvalues niche scenario builds too much imo). Itero, just no.
Lolalytics is great but can be overwhelming
Caliste 🇫🇷 on KC's office cat Pick 🐱:
"For exemple you just lost a game in scrim, you're really tilted, you're really mad... you're like 'im going to the cat room' and it's like Maouw"
Somebody came in my chat and said their favorite weapon was the “striker from MW3.”
I was like “yeah that shotgun was so busted.”
He said, “did this dumbass just say the striker was a shotgun? It’s a fucking SMG.”
😐😐😐
-spend all day with her
-take her to dinner
-take her to a movie
-take her back home, she wants to cuddle
-start cuddling, she falls asleep
-you turn on the ps5 in another room

Always use statistics to enhance your decision making, not drive it. Context matters.
And definitely don’t use clearly poorly calculated stats derived from from raw stats like this app does
And the best pick in this draft is... NAAFIRI! 🐕
She's not an usual pick in the mid lane but in this draft works great.
