EP.65 Who's the New Guy? | THE POG STATE

[@toumorokoshi1619]

32:46 lmao the fact that Atlus already planned ahead to start his video by thanking his POG self for the introduction to Video Atlus is amazing. Classic Atlus!

[@BON3SMcCOY]

Welcome to the LCK DGon!! Great seeing them expanding the Global side of the broadcast. (So long as they never get an actual analyst desk, i love having the space)

[@ArcaneTricksterRS]

I think the Space is actually a thing now and I don't see it going anywhere. It's part of the program. Also, thinking about how it started makes it even funnier and iconic.

they always ask "who is Dgon?", but never ask "how is Dgon?"

[@captive-audience]

Where has Dgon?

[@bringthebong]

Why is dgon?

[@JPLX99]

happy to see DGon on the pogstate loved him always on talks with monte and dom, hope the boys make him feel welcomed in korea :D only up from here

[@alonvx2]

What do I need to search to find the images they were talking about? 1:08:50

[@marcosokajimajr.1709]

We need Aux and Laure's predictions lists! And Jeesun too!

[@BLSXful]

Agreed

[@Stormwings_]

I want Jonna Strong's prediction.

[@ReinLie]

@@Stormwings_ this is the correct answer.

[@lucaspepicon511]

KT is lowering the expectations to win it all

[@mcshin72]

welcome to LCK and korea

[@kel000001]

1:06:20 they need to use the korean LCK system and make them stocks

[@juicce1546]

yo i got hyped up when i heard that dGon said he is a half Filipino HAHAHAHA i dont know but i think my blood just kick in the moment he said it HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@ReinLie]

Are you OK?

[@케도도케]

KT had amazing wombo combos against GenG, they just need to find these angles and believe in the unbreakable will

[@ArcaneTricksterRS]

I think people are just overreacting about KT. They literally lost to all the teams they lost to in Spring (pretty much) + KDF. In a similar way, people are also overreacting about KDF. I'm sure KT will be in playoffs, the same way I'm sure KDF will either be 5th or 6th place.

[@케도도케]

@@ArcaneTricksterRSKT should be above half of the teams yet they look lost in most their matches. Idk what happened during the gap between Spring and Summer but they need to go snap in their senses.

[@IvelinGeorgiev-d6r]

What happened to Valdes? Did he quit or is he moved somewhere?

[@ReinLie]

I've been afraid they're phasing him out this season. Which makes me sad, given how much better he is than dgon

[@scifimisc9191]

Valdes casts more than just league, and I dont think theyve ever done a POGstate with more than 4 people.

[@dontyouwannaknow]

we love ourselves some pog states 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[@korenaisyb]

wat happen to valdez???

[@ReinLie]

It almost feels like they're phasing him out of the cast, which is a huge pity.

[@lolwildrifthighlights4377]

Because those 4 are with geng

[@szabel.]

dgon sat on the right side of the couch to show off the gainz🤣

[@FilterBySubgenre]

my goat, stream the kr soloq climb if you got time dgon

I don't remember aux getting the same welcome....🤔

Didn't he appear on the POG state as well?

@@케도도케 I'd say he's significantly better than dgon though.

[@jaybonline]

Dgon is so manly, handsome, bulgy muscles and have the cutest smile/laugh 😘 . Welcome to LCK

[@sadaba43]

aayyyy dgon love that guy lmao

[@Forsaken76823]

Dgon is filipino what?? Nice

[@freshim3077]

1:11:17 zzzz

[@hnd1305]

Why is the show called pog state

[@ReinLie]

Longtime joke from back in the LS / Atlus days. LCK consistently went into a "lull state", so whenever things heated up they'd start calling it the "pog state".

[@hnd1305]

@@ReinLie woah thanks!!

[@wapakelps5879]

Its huni 2.0

[@everything-has-a-handle-now]

Did they actually mute out bull shit? That's barely a swear word xD

[@everything-has-a-handle-now]

Wait they didn't mute the second one lol

[@billnye4213]

KZbin can be strict with monetizing if you swear too much. They probably just want to be safe

[@thegreylady168]

Dgon Bgon

[@ReinLie]

Please.

[@ReinLie]

I know he’s new, but I genuinely skip every minute dgon tries to talk about actual League. It’s so clear that he brings so little actual knowledge and analysis. Even when the LCK boys troll, it’s always based in some knowledge. Someone should tell him also that LCS is not a real region, no offense - as an NA resident who watches mainly LCK, please stop bringing info about LCS meta as if that matters.

[@aaartem]

you seem very nice and reasonable

[@ArcaneTricksterRS]

First of all, he is not necessary a League specialist, more like a host who is around League and just picks up bits and pieces of info. He wasn't in Korea until recently, so he will obviously go off the knowledge he had previously. Most importantly, let's not act like the other 3 (and Valdes) are somehow some LoL gurus who know a lot about the game and have great analysis on things. Most of the times, they get things wrong, they give out wrong info as well. I don't blame them, their job is to mainly cast the game, which means talking about what generally happens and keep company to the viewers. Analysis is just there to keep the viewers entertained in some way during the breaks. Most of their predictions are wrong, for example. Predictions that are made based on THEIR observations, on games THEY cast / review and with the knowledge THEY share among each other. And yet, they failed to predict GENG would win Summer 2022, they failed to see GENG would level up severely during Spring 2023 and possibly even win the whole thing as well, as was the case for Summer 2023. They get a lot of things wrong as well. Singling out DGon is because of two things: 1) you are just a douchebag looking for attention or 2) you have zero idea what you are talking about. Actually, now that I think about it, it's both of those things.

[@Reia.P]

He is the host, not an analyst

[@ReinLie]

@@aaartem thanks :) I try to be both.

[@ReinLie]

@@Reia.P so was atlus. LCK is the premier league of League, and we shouldn't settle for low quality hosts.
