From Toxic Past to Champion, Inspired Reveals the Truth - The Sack Down Ep 8

[@Irongutsman]

Inspired inspired me to be the player I am today. When my mid laner ran it down I used to just say "better luck next time", now I flame them and call them vegans.

[@Zero-P-vt3db]

The term vegan gameplay has been a staple of my in game chat since I heard him say it - he’s not just a goat he’s a trendsetter that generational toxicity!

[@xaviercharles9616]

kinda depends, is it when he runs it down fighting or when he's just being a useless tool doing nothing and having no impact? Being vegan means not killing any living being which means playing like a p*ssy in FlyQ terms. But running it down trying is not being vegan

[@ethaneth6481]

[@yesssirr987]

Hey Dom, I think at the very end when you open the floor up for the guest to bring up anything they want, you should not end the prompt with “or should we just end the show here”- I already think most guests would be happy to end there anyway, but I think it makes sense to leave that bit out to encourage anyone who might have something to share. Just a thought from a loyal viewer. Banger episodes lately, i appreciate the great work

Legends say Yamato is still kind of curious

[@RomnysGonzalez]

Man i'm so happy for Mithy man. he got blamed and flamed by those morons C9 fans thinking he wasn't a good coach, how he was useless. Mithy is truly a genius and a master class coach. Dude is really,really like REALLY good at his job as long THE PLAYER LISTEN TO HIS COACHING DIRECTION. That's something Spring C9 wasn't doing. If you trust Mithy and listen to what he have to say and his directions your team is gonna be at the top of the table because he's offer so much and help out teams so much. Look at the improvements of Busio in just 4 months. Look how damn good this botlane turn out to be with Mithy. Now look at how much C9 botlane fell off the moment Mithy wasn't there anymore.

[@nathanharris8896]

The bot lane was falling off before Mithy left tbh. I will agree that Mithy clearly wasn't at fault for the C9 disaster.

[@derekmarshman6154]

C9 needed a staff around him. He was set up for failure. Good to see him finding success.

[@Caesar--]

I wouldnt be surprised if mithy wanted to leave, c9 has been running basically no coaches for a bit which sucks ass as a head coach id bet.

[@Cashmoneez]

I mean not necessarily if anything this shows that mithy needs more coaching staff so he can thrive as a strategic coach. Not that’s there’s anything wrong with that it’s clear c9 was not putting him in the best position to succeed since he was the only coach

[@pavelr.8042]

just imagine how many hours LS spent talking to Busio and he was so sh*t at the game, then Mithy comes and voila, problem solved, Busio actually isn't complete trash

[@slimryda866]

I was so impressed this year with fly quest, especially in playoffs, massu bwipo and busio all stepped up and proved me wrong of some things i had thought about them as players. And quad has been a great surprise to me. Inspired has always been held incredibly high in my mind, and bwipo although being one of my favourite players always made me scratch my head with some things he did, but despite that i still love him. Great job this year, and thanks so much for the content dom/yama and LFN.

[@BigLoveMachine]

I knew inspired was a good player but hearing how he thinks about the game and the level of knowledge he has about macro and how to interact with teammates has skyrocketed his value for me. He's also a good in game leader and is the primary shot caller for his team. Idk when his current contract is done but i think every team that wants to seriously compete in the west should be going for this man.

[@krazedkoi]

[@DoctorDucky250]

45:55 Inspired is so based. Paraphrasing: "Put any decent jungler next to Caps, and you win the titles. It's hard to see how good Yike really is because playing with Caps just makes your job so easy." I've been saying this since his first couple splits! Finally someone actually says the quiet parts out loud! Yike is fine, but he isn't a fucking prodigy. He's just playing with the best players on the best team so his job is so easy. That's why he looks "good" half the time. Put Armao on this team, 😂 lol they still win. An Emerald ranked jungler could lock in Sej and stack titles in this scenario, probably.

[@adamrice7633]

Difference is yike manages to look like shit anyway lmao

I can’t wait to watch him bully on Lilia I’m calling it now no matter what team if he gets Lilia it’ll be a stomp

[@THEkullerpuller]

(Mildly hot) take: Inspired is at least a top two jungler in the west with Razork and there is a HUGE gap between them and people like Yike, Umti, Sheo and so forth. Depending on what you value both of them could be considered top one. (Pretty hot) take: a team with Razork in the jungle and Bo as ADC could be a top four team in the world with the right pieces around them (including the staff).

[@mayachun7778]

bo ADC in eu would go hard

[@THEkullerpuller]

@@mayachun7778 I honestly think it would be better than Bo jungle. And by better I mean he could be the best ADC this region has EVER had had that includes prime Forgiven/Upset/Rekkles. He could also be the biggest inter ever in that position but I think it's way harder to overforce the way he did sometimes as AD 😄
