The league subreddit moderator team is one of the groups most directly responsible for the decline of the game/esport over the last decade. Everything gets removed unless it contributes to the cesspool of slop/doomerism in there. Shame.

For those curious this is my ballot. As always, this is a regular split only award Biggest takeaways for me are that Obstinatus and Denathor being 3rd team was absolutely criminal, also why did Yuuji get MVP votes Feel free to ask about anything

Did Neeko fool Dardoch on this play? @MobilityLoL did a great job of staying off vision, and I find it unlikely a player of Dardoch's caliber sends it like this knowingly onto Neeko Awesome outplay from @KimDownLoL to catapult @WinthropEsports into the lead

Friendly reminder that 2 years ago my company produced CLOL to a degree that was universally well received at a fraction of the cost. It doesn’t have to be this way

What a great way to send off GGTech…

In less than 12 hours, a historic collegiate rivalry culminates in a legendary final matchup (last seen in 2021) for the 2026 CLoL Championship. @MaryvilleGG vs @WinthropEsports 🕐 7AM PT / 10AM ET Illustrating Their History🧵⬇️

Winthrop University when it’s game 5 in a series everyone expects them to lose

They actually did it, they actually fucking did it Is this the greatest lower bracket run in NACL history?

Winthrop University is going into its 18th game over the last two weeks of NACL Win or lose, this is one of the most mentally resilient teams I have ever witnessed at any level of play. Now they have a chance to knock out the top three seeds in succession. Game 5 baby

Ranked 5’s ending before midnight on the west coast is going to be a real play to Hardstuck Casterlow

I appreciate @MrsChimChimLOL show and getting this out of Perry, something I've known since Perry's interview with Travis. Reading through this thread: I've never been more motivated to step away from T2 and my work. Majority of the thread is talking about why money was thrown away on these players. The reality is it doesn't apply to the minimum salary players, it applies to the orgs that gave Academy players $300k to buyout jail them from going to LCS teams. The number quoted was based on California Minimum Salary in the state. These players are competing 8 hours a day in scrims, not to mention solo queue time in the office. Given the time investment, LEGALLY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO BE PAID LESS!! And the community response is they were paid too much and didn't provide value? Blows my fucking mind. How many triple AAA baseball players or G-League basketball players are providing direct value to you as a fan while they try to make it? The value is there when they do and you know what? The difference of salary between Jojopyun and Humanoid for EG when they went with Jojopyun nearly covered the costs of Academy for the year according to EG. If you want to talk about the exorbitant salaries of some of the pro players in the space and the lack of monetizing those players and personalities, I would say that's more than fair and I've been on the record for that. But going after T2 players when they got shell shocked by the same people that paid those salaries for the T1 players and within 6 months of me moving out to LA to cover NACL btw, I find to be beyond gross. 0 understanding from the community, and 0 empathy or sympathy from the community for the players who were trying to make it and keep the scene alive with their commitment to trying to go pro.

I have predicted the first 5 series of playoffs incorrectly Our top 3 seeds collectively went 0-4 this week, this level of parity is unprecedented!!

.@drewlevin you heard the man! Let @Only35support out of soloq support jail!

I have predicted the first 4 series of this playoff bracket incorrectly

This is also MU’s lowest tier 2 finish since 2023 summer, the split after they promoted. After two years of being perennial contenders, they have been taken down by the program that also toppled their first collegiate dynasty five years ago Absolutely wild to see them out early
