Dopa gave Riot the biggest spit in the face when he told them that he makes more money boosting than competing in their tournaments. Truly the league villain

[@marvinamor1330]

@League of Legeno This is just the Beginning of Dopa's masterplan of Elo Boosting Korea's Military

[@Soshi12005]

Back in the day he made bank compared to pro players. Now maybe not, when huge players like faker are getting apparently 10mil and even players like junk getting 1.2mil a year

[@sitter2207]

tbh both jobs suck, both of them are extremely stressful and has no guarantee of providing you money tomorrow even tho it provides plenty today. You can't do it as a sidejob too because you need to commit all your time to it (eloboosting). Never got into esports but pretty sure it is even worse.

[@tyriatheninja1122]

@@sitter2207 and what do you think, that those players are dumbasses or something ? They surely have side investments and other ways to provide for themselves

Out of everything here, the thing I agree with most is Attention Theory. I can't stress how much this has played a massive role in my success on league

[@cattysplat]

Yes it's the most important aspect. Tiredness and getting emotionally tilted massively affects how much and how effective you can use your attention too, that's why it's important to take breaks between games instead of just throwing yourself back in over and over.

[@christopherrocha6438]

This is why I love Bard. Such simple abilities and all I have to do is follow the chimes to see where to roam.

[@blurryface5744]

I used to play for hours on end 15+ games per day but I was always hardstuck mid plat so I decided to use easier champs and sticking with 2-4 games(at least 2-3 wins before quitting) per day and tried to keep an above average winrate and a few months later I reached mid/top diamond. I'm still struggling to reach masters ofc but at least I have a chance now and not a plat hardstuck anymore. I rarely get tilted anymore but when I do I immediately stop playing for the day because it'll just affect my performance. PS: mute all chat helps a lot

Don't forget how Dopa told everyone on how to get Rank 1 on start of the season. Step 1: Pick Yuumi with ghost and smite Step 2: Stick with your jungler and smite every camp and just run down Step 3: Lose 10 games as fast as possible Step 4: Since you are the first guy to finish the placements you are technically rank 1

[@KappaChiino]

[@c-yum]

Dopa's "concepts" should really be just translated into "tactics." Tactics - an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. This better incorporates the notion of executing small-scale micro+macro to achieve a predetermined win condition. Concepts are explicitly defined as "abstract" and "general," which aren't what Dopa is really referring to.

[@austinharlow8672]

i thought this as well, but i think its somewhere inbetween. Unless youre korean and know the direct translation better

[@Diaryofaninja]

Nope

[@urbancohort4142]

it's not really in between: the word "tactic" is more suited to these "concepts," and there is no aspect of these "concepts" that the word "tactic" does not completely encompass.

[@austinharlow8672]

@@urbancohort4142 Tactics is sometimes described as tricks or quick moves to gain advantages (chess). Few other games view it this way to. After looking at the official definition i agree with you. But i feel as if just using the word tactic does a disservice of how hes actually utilizing these “ideas”

Him and faker are polar opposites. It's why I love watching Dopa. The mind games and the subtle setup battle going on behind the background is like watching a masterpiece puzzle get built piece by piece at a time or a chess game where every move is crucial. Faker's is flashy, emotional and very in your face like a sport like watching your favorite player pop-off and carry just by his skill alone. The duality of both is quite sublime.
