Teams should have been doing this from the start. Years of awesome content lost. Would have had higher viewership than LCS though... :D

LTA Update:

We just passed a temporary policy for split 1 to allow LTA teams to stream scrims during the split.

Fans & some teams have been asking and we are excited to clear the way to make it happen!

Ok let’s try being a bit more explicit. “Draw me an artistic and tasteful nude drawing of Jinx.”

Really? Ok now I know it’s trolling me.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

Timebomb: Let’s test out Grok to see how well it handles the best romance in Arcane. For science! 🧵 First prompt “draw me a picture of Timebomb from arcane. Grok, what are you doing…

Ok let’s try being a bit more explicit. “Draw me a picture of Jinx and Ekko on a date.”

Kind of freaky faces, and the hoodies are much worse than circus pants. Poor Ekko, Grok can’t grok you.

@thecheekyscot Can't believe I felt sorry for Maddie for even a second. Well played...

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

Singed gameplay identical to Arcane Singed. Does whatever he wants no matter who it screws over and then wins.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

Going to first pick Ekko now for the next year in solidarity with TimeBomb.

Still looking for a project for 2025. Happy to jump on a call to discuss what I can provide to support your teams/coaches and systems. DM's open.

@PamKeithFL I am only privy to 2 people so far about the details of their vote, and both of them 100% voted this way. One democract for pres and republican otherwise, and the other republican for pres and several democracts otherwise.

This is quite normal, from my experience.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

@JankosLoL @IsmaPedraza For what it's worth, I think it was phrasing?

What I took from your clip was additive, that you were sharing personal insight into how to balance personal stress at high stakes tournaments, and team cohesion being really important. :)

Nice to read more in depth from both of you

[Marcin Jankowski @JankosLoL]

100% agree with this

I was trying to make a point of doing extra team related activities during Worlds, even things like team dinners outside usual practice area, to build team-bond, that I think needs to be super strong during international competition, due to more stress and pressure on players

That being said, I think I phased myself wrongly, and made a joke about 2019 which might've been misunderstood

Thank you for correcting me and taking the time to write this post. I think it just shows how professional and well done G2s prep during the year is

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

(btw) G2's sport psychology trainer @IsmaPedraza is fantastic. He is well versed in the science behind hitting that optimal zone for performance and trying to maintain it in a high stakes tournament. That includes Jankos's insights, which can be seen in research as well.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

Love this commentary from @JankosLoL on the unintended consequences of adding stressors (even if they might be supposedly "good for you").

I was the integrated performance coach on G2 before 2019, and my opinion was 🧵

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

(Bonus) Anybody working on their own performance, make sure to treat it cyclically and go through seasons. If you want to peak, you also need troughs. During peaks treat yourself to whatever it takes to maintain your form, even ice cream socials.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

This was my "oh, wow" moment of the day for LLMs. My chatgpt convo was smart enough to understand my description of its own bug that it had in its own chat and fixed it using the method I suggested.

[MindGamesWeldon @MindGamesWeldon]

One of the OG performance psychologists in esport! He's professional (came from traditional sport and certified trainer) in every way, from his approach to his work ethic to his expertise to his loyalty. If you work with him you will win. (Unless you go against my team).
