After finishing Rank 1 in our region (EUNE) Set 16, me and my buddy decided to push for Rank 1 Global the next set. Here we are after 131 games, we hold the highest Top 4 and win rate out of any western player.
IT'S NEVER ENOUGH
@drewlevin Hello Drew, I know you manage League stuff, but the double up ladder has been filled with bots printing lp, mainly in Vietnamese server, they queue up 8 people premade and ff at 10 mins, it's completely pointless for the real climbers to compete with such unfair style
I double up with my ex every couple weeks
We don’t talk about it. It just happens.
2am. both online. she sent the invite, or i do. neither of us acknowledges who sent it first.
We put up the soju stream, the discord call is 99% soju yapping. no "how have you been." no "seeing anyone?" just good comms
“send cait”
“I’m open”
"I'm 9 next turn."
That’s the whole conversation.
here's the thing though.
our synergy is still nasty.
she knows when to trade me a bow before I ask for it.
I know her line selection better than the last 6 duos I played with.
we don't communicate because we don't need to.
400 games of muscle memory doesn't give a fuck about relationship status.
we'll go +300LP together. maybe 400LP on a good night.
then it's "im out” and we're offline for another 2 weeks.
no follow up. no "we should do this more often." nothing.
because we both know what this is. it's not friendship. it's not rekindling.
it's not even nostalgia.
it's that neither of us has found better synergy.
and that's the uncomfortable truth about double up.
you can break up with someone and still be stuck with them competitively.
you can hate someone's guts and still close out the game perfectly.
you can move on emotionally and still be hardstuck trying to replace what you had in game.
some people have exes they still fuck.
i have an ex i still double up with.
honestly not sure which is worse.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧
