I just translated myself after watching his stream, so just know that there might be a few mistakes

Ambition:

The first impression of the video was awful.

I watched the video twice, and there were lots of problems.

The first problem is why is Linkin Park inside the music video? That is the major issue.

I've thought about why. Do you guys know Enemy (The Arcane song)?

Yeah, there is imagine dragons in that music video.

It was a great hit, but this one...

There are too many parts where Linkin Park appears.

Even Imagine Dragons appears as a customer in the bar in Enemy.

This time, Linkin Park is taking the whole screen, and I am like...what is this?

Like...they just sing in the main scene. I couldn't really understand

(A donation talks about how the music video should've been a song for Faker's story)

Yeah, the song should've been dedicated to Faker.

Why not when the story plot was so good?

And Faker really doesn't appear that much as well.

Another issue is that there are too many characters.

There are a lot. And I mean a LOT. I can't identify who is who.

Like everybody is deft in this video.

And the last scene where Faker becomes Azir...

If you told me that it was me wearing white glasses, I probably would've believed it.

(The part where Faker's face overlaps with Emily's)

Look at this part!

Why the fuck is Faker being overlapped with her?

The story could've not been any better.

He waited so long for his 4th win

Riot deserved to get insulted. I think they are totally crazy.

There is no story in the music video. Like absolutely nothing. There is nothing at all.

Technically it describes about the new worlds music, and how it is bad by not focusing on the T1's 2023 worlds story but focusing on Linkin Park instead. Btw that news channel is like Korea's top 5 so I think Koreans are pretty mad about this situation

Deft: My reaction while watching the video was like, "why am I even in the video in the first place."

Badger Teemo had boots before his ASU. Now he doesn't and those grippers are on full display. Same for Recon, though they hide his feet in the splash art. Panda Teemo's boots got changed into paws as well.

I feel like there'd be dozen of threads about this, if this was being done to Caitlyn, Lux, Vayne, and whatever other female champions that people love. It all began with Briar. Someone over there is on a mission and even Teemo wasn't safe from it. I still remember Faerie Court Lux. This all started with Briar. Who's next to get this treatment? Is anyone safe???

List of certain things which are guaranteed to happen in next 5 weeks:

• Either 100T or MDK will not make out of PlayIns, creating (in case of MDK — resurrecting) meme till next major tournament and “C9/BDS died for this”
• GAM will make out of PlayIn, creating a yet another round of “Levi/Kiaya hype” and “Nocturne lvl 6 in 2017” recalls just to lose 0:3 with not much real chances
• G2 will meet either T1 or DK during Swiss stage. Caps vs Showmaker/Faker is certain same as stone and water
• Fnatic will meet TL and will lose to them. After this, as usual, they will mental boom and self-annihilate themselves from the tournament
• TL will be drawn against East, will look very very close and winnable but eventually lose it all, and will not make out of Swiss
• Overall, EU will lose head-2-head score to NA, but G2 will take at least one series from East, while NA will continue their 4 years streak of no wins-at-all against East. Meme war “we are better head-2-head” vs “at least we have G2” will continue till next Worlds
• Speaking of this, G2 will remain the only West team to take a series (not best of 1) from East since 2018 2019. The hype for G2 will be high until they will be clean swept 0:3 by any random Asian teams
• GenG will win BLG in Swiss stage, just to lose to them in Playoffs whenever they meet (they will, as they always do)
• T1 will be drawn against LPL in Quarters, and by this automatically will make to Semis, but this is something not required to be mentioned
• After T1 will get to Semis, this sub will explode in enormous number of posts about “yet another semis for T1 roster/Faker” and “T1 crazy stats”. Your fellow OP will contribute to this too
• Speaking of this sub, after banger Quarters, as usual, we will have around 100 posts about double elim and “give me more than 7 series per tournament!”
• BLG will be your next World Champs

Having stuff be severely overpriced is not fun for the average gamer. Riot went years without these extremely priced skins with the highest tier (Ultimate) being around $30. Selling more copies of something at a reasonable price is going to make more people happy instead of the small percentage of players who can afford it.

The skins are also a chroma variant of the regular skin, so it's not even worth getting for that price. On top of that the concept already exists with Prestige skins which are affordable around $1,650 rp for the pass. Even worse when you consider that they already had Mythic chromas for 40 Mythic Essence, but they threw that concept out the window.

INB4 "It's a free game, they gotta make money somehow"

They already make a lot of money without the overpriced stuff. It's just a cheap cash grab. On top of that it's screwing over the majority of people who buy skins to cater to just a few players. I get that it's based off number crunching in terms of profit, but I don't think leaving a sour taste in a player's mouth is good either.

Edit: I see a lot of comments saying that Riot is setting the price at this point because it's profitable, or to simply not buy the skin instead of complaining on Reddit. I'm aware of that.

People were complaining about a free skin, Victorious Sona not being up to par and Riot is making changes to it to improve it, despite that skin being free. It's not always useless to complain about something.

Took me a second to figure out who some of the people in the video were so thought I'd make a post listing them out:

The murals feature:

Unknown Viego and Fiora

Oner's Rell against LNG GALA Aphelios and an ambiguous teammate (not to be confused with his famous engage against JDG)

Faker's Azir catching JDG Ruler Varus

Zeus Aatrox surviving 1v4 in Finals against WBG (TheShy Kennen, WeiWei Belveth, Xiaohu Azir, Crisp Bard)

T1 lifting the 2023 trophy

T1 Kkoma bringing the crown

T1 Roach bringing Faker/Azir's staff

T1 Faker as Azir

T1 Zeus as Aatrox

T1 Oner as Viego and later Lee Sin

T1 Gumayusi as Xayah

T1 Keria as Nautilus

BLG Bin as Jax

FLY Massu as Varus

RED Brance as Zeri (the only player who does not belong to a worlds team in 2024, as Red Canids did not make Worlds, Pain Gaming did)

G2 Caps as Leblanc (unclear if he uses her spectral chains or Sylas' chains later on, and possibly Twisted Fate ult to enter the castle)

GEN Chovy as Akali

Now that I've been to a couple of conventions this summer and got some pictures taken of my handmade Aurora cosplay, I just wanted to post some of them! First picture is taken by the incredible @mdqbriones on insta.

This entire cosplay was handmade by me, from 3D modelling of the accessories, foam clay sculpting for the gold ornaments, and drafting all of the patterns for sewing the garments myself. It's hard to tell in some of these pictures, but the hat actually glows :3

Feel free to ask away about the cosplay making process, and if you wanted to see how it all came together, you can see it on my instagram @xglorifyingx, in the Aurora highlight!

Looks funny and on topic with the new direction of skins tied to real jobs.

Its very noticable in mid-lategame teamfights. The autoattack range is slightly bigger and you have to walk forward to apply e. My guess is that they just forgot to update for the 25 range they gave her..

Translation from Duc Truong Huyen (fxEVO)'s post:

"Teemo base", the most stubborn splash art of LOL, has finally got a successor. My artist friends sent me a lot of messages hiu hiu (sobbing), thank you everyone for your interest. This is the first art I drew when I was an intern at MassiveBlack, it was also the first time I learnt what an NDA was ha ha ha. Finally, I can publicly claim that it was me. It's been 12 years, such a long but also short time. The new art is very beautiful, it fits the contemporary vision of the game.

We'll see if I can share what I have done in Mass Effect 2-3, Starwars and 10,000 other things in another 20-30 years. But now I have temporarily retired as a concept designer/illustrator, now my Dharma name is Thích Độ Kính.

Anyway, it can be said that the very cinematic art direction of the current LOL originated from 12 years ago when our team was contracted to draw splash arts at that time. Our art director then - Randis Albion has a very strong cinematic vision. The inexperienced intern team also had Jon Neimeister, David Kegg, Jama Jurabaev, Alex Konstad and me. Now everyone is working on film, Alex Konstad just even won an Emmy.

His comments on the post:

"Original sketches 12 years ago"

"Trivia: this BC is an abbreviation of Brilliant Colors, the codename of MassiveBlack Shanghai, which was mostly made up of interns."

I really loved the image of Faker with the crown, so decided to turn it into a wallpaper!

Maybe someone out there will appreciate it :)

Split 2 ends with GEN Canyon on top of the Korean server at 2084 LP. He's also been playing many off-role games (likely queued Fill) the past few weeks.

I love his redesign, I love his animations, I love hid voice lines, Hes just a cute little guy and he's so incredibly charming. Maybe now I won't wanna throw my PC off a bridge when hes locked in.
