I like how objective Midbeast is with this video. He doesnt shy away from mentioning the smurfing drama and gives good non biased context overall. Professor Akali was one of the content creators I started out watching. After the smurfing thing and some drama with hashinshin I stopped following him. That being said I wish him the best and hopefully he makes challenger. Proves himself finally.

[@namthienvo2205]

From someone who actually watch his streams. I think these kind of videos are a little too negative. Sure, in terms of a a single gameplay review, midbeast is absolutely nonbiased and stays neutral. However, in terms of marketing for prof, its definitely very negative video as obviously; one of his worse games was picked for the public audience. He also has a lot of really good games in which he carried masters games with 14/0/10 kind of kdas. I really dont know why he does these 21 hours stream, but it obviously make you play worse the more you play and he really needs to take care his physical and mental health. He has really clean games, and is definitely masters level+ micro. His macro can be cleaned up, but personally i think his climb and learning curve is going to be better with max 10-12 games and 10 hour stream. 20 games a day is respect, but not healthy. But yeah...on his bad/tilted games, the gameplay for someone who doesnt watch him regularly doesnt even look like high level diamond. Just trying to be open-minded and show what it is for both sides. I dont know if this is the best midbeast can do just to cater to the fact that prof has a bad rep unfortunately. But making the vid on prof is definitely a win in terms of making content as a youtuber. In my opinion, midbeast predicted masters 100lp for professor akali which I doubt he can predict from this game alone, unless he actually followed more games.

professor akali is like Neace in that he was challenger once upon a time and hes been riding that since. i think he hit grandmaster last year in korea if im not mistaken tho

[@Kamishi845]

Well, Neace was never challenger except in Brazil which has a much lower quality of play in high elo compared to other servers due to being a very small server, so while technically he was challenger it doesn't necessarily reflect him having the skill of a challenger player in other servers; on NA he was at his peak GM and close to hitting challenger but was never challenger, and frankly he only got that rank because he abused duo q before it got disabled. He's lucky in that sense that he started to full time coach around the time Riot disabled it, so he could always excuse himself with that he didn't have the time to climb by himself. Professor Akali has never been in challenger though, and afaik has been hardstuck diamond on NA for many seasons.

[@rexx9500]

old akali will not be topped, was so fun

[@duanedoldrum7570]

And braindead.

[@mwbwyatt]

now i know people may not like prof, but a lot of that is cuz he just doesnt really have to try in some of his more click-baity content. tbh if he actually puts effort in and goes for the climb there IS a chance he makes chally. its not like he's an inherently bad player, but he's definitely gotta pick up on the CS if he wants a consistent climb

[@VandepoelM]

Riot should do a soloQ championship every year, every year go to a different region. set a date at which the ladder will be closed off. give prize money to top 100 players. this is good for the streamers, and for the viewers. so the best players around the world will travel to that region to compete.
