Thorin was way louder than the other two and I had to keep adjusting volume depending on the speaker 🔊 🙉
Damn seeing those old faces is odd
this shit is fire! cant wait for more
The Mitch guy is great.
All this damage control. Priceless.
Don't forget Fudge has been to Worlds before (2019, on Mammoth), then won Academy back to back in 2020. He's not just some rookie
Rich looks like MarkZ and sounds like Veteran.. must be tough on him
As much as they shit on Huni, at the very least he's shown results in the past and most importantly actually behaves professionally outside of the game. TL has had their share of immature divas, from Piglet, to Quas having a mental breakdown and lastly Dardoch who just shat all over Steve. How can any org actually still think this kid is redeemable is beyond my comprehension. If Dardoch was in KR or CN, the moment he threw a hissy fit, he would have gotten black balled permanently. Yet after designing arguably the greatest TL roster of all time, you'd entrust that responsibility to a kid that still acts like a 5 year old?
Santorin's greatest strength isn't to setup a lvl 2 cheese gank, he plays a really smart calculated pathing jungler, the way Xmithie used to be in TL. Even if he's not a top 10 jungler in the world, he'll always be at the right place and right time and that's exactly what TL needs. Every lane on TL is spicy and can gain leads of their own, they don't need a superstar carry jungler, the just need someone to dive or counter gank on their winning lanes.
In a theoretical sense, getting a carry jungler is obviously better the same way Alphari is a better choice than Impact (as it gives the option to play strongside carry with them). But the point Rich was making was talking about Dardoch, who is actually more washed than Huni and unlike Huni hasn't done squat to write home about in his pathetic career.
Other than Selfmade and Jankos who could TL really get for the jungle position that is a lot better than Santorin right now. Bear in mind Santorin has residency status in the LCS so he's perfect for the roster right now.
Jungle talent in NA maybe bad right now. But other than Selfmade and Jankos it isn't that much better in EU either. If I am looking at western junglers right now Santorin is at least in the top 5 so it's actually not a bad pick up. It's hard to take Rich seriously when he refers to TL perhaps picking up Dardoch again which would be the wrong move imo.
I don't think TL are looking for an aggressive jungler they are looking for the next Xmithie a good supportive jungler which Santorin is. Frankly I think Santorin right now is a better version of Xmithie because Santorin has good mechanics.
Most of the great junglers currently are Asian such as Karsa, Kanavi,Sofm,Tarzan, Tian etc who are mostly playing in China.
That sex analogy is great. S tier. So true.
Also maybe things are different now than they were back in the day and maybe Dexter and Rich are right about the demise of Fnatic. But when Xpeke, Cyanide, Soaz and rekkles left Fnatic and only Yellowstar was left I thought Fnatic was completely done. Yet what happened they picked up Huni, Reignover, Febiven and Steelback? Then they ran through the EU LCS. I thought you were supposed to be a historian? I wouldn't start the death march for the org until they are completely done for good.
curious when your podcasts with dom and monty will reconvene
Rich claiming Dardoch would be better for TL than Santorin is crazy. Santorin was one of, if not the best jungler in the lcs last year especially when summer playoffs came around. Santorin has also shown to be aggressive vs the likes of Blaber and C9 when FLY constantly invaded Blaber's jungle in their bo5. Santorin definitely isn't the best jungler in the west but he certainly won't lose you games internationally.
Video ended on a banger sentence
This guy really said Santorin was bad early ganking
that rich dude is blasted patrik is better than rekkles lmfao, rekkles sometimes performs internationally lol. rekkles has been easily in the t5 adc in the world for years now and has had 3 year in a row being the best or t2 adc at worlds.
Very interesting! Consider bringing these guys again another time, specially another off-season
Wait if FNC sided with the narrative "if players want to leave they should be allowed to because we like the players." Then why were they so butthurt over Rekkles and Caps wanting to leave? 😂
To the Manchester City Analogy, they were actually a bad team who got billionaire money and are now at the top while Arsenal and Chelsea are struggling and dropping off. The analogy does work 😄 Also, Leicester is a good example taking Arsenals spot at the top.
Edit: Sunderland being in the 3rd league or something like that. There's actually a bunch of examples
I think the whole thing about Perkz to fnc was that as Fnc seemingly performed so well and even if you aren’t fnc fans a lot of people liked the players plus everyone likes perkz so it seemed to be so close to fnc being world contenders along side G2 and people got caught up in the EU hype train and as it got leaked as a possibility (even though after the fact it clearly wasnt) it seemed to good to be true for EU as a whole not just fnc fans
At the end is thorin promoting fucking rookies before you put them in? 🤔
