[@armac1629]

I'm from Europe, really disapointed about the co stream thing, that was the only nice way to watch lcs. Either the games and the production are a clown fiesta (in a pitiful way) in Na but your co stream were making it fun to watch. Lcs is losing something, again, as they have almost have nothing good left. You'll make it through this. Good luck from Belgium !

[@albertdo6194]

i mainly watch LS’s co stream but when he doesn’t stream I hop on Dom’s. this is absolutely ridiculous and I would rather look up the match results like a degenerate than watch a single second of the LCS official broadcast

[@gerbo8018]

@@albertdo6194 I literally just used to watch dom's youtube video's about it as highlights. Now i'll probably just ignore lcs. I'm never on twitch so i can't watch live co-streams anyway.

[@nicholashutchinson7104]

Stasss can you blame him the games have been clown fiestas

[@Evan2768]

The sad part is that Dom’s co-streams were the only interesting and entertaining part of LCS. Ever since the games have been played online, the level of play has been complete shit and the production/casting is awful. I watched every game of LCS since season 3 to now, but this season I lost interest other than watching the costreams for the flame/entertainment value. Now riot has shitty gameplay, bad production, and they banned their best co-streamer without giving a reason. I’m so over Riot.

[@luukvankrugten7253]

Is dom his Co stream banned right now? That sucks it was real fun

[@NoradNoxtus]

He was probably flaming the production too much. Riot takes that shit personally and comes back with a vengeance.

[@Jordan-pp5wi]

Or it’s bc he has like a fifth of there total viewership

That flank point by Thorin was actually really well said -- a very good comparison, some of his comparisons fall flat but that one actually made a lot of sense.

Kaiser is on a roll

[@joaquinchua3348]

I really can't believe co-streams are over, I'd wake up at 3:30 am in the morning (country diff gg) just to watch it, that was probably the most fun I've had watching LCS and that's saying something since I've watched that shit since S3, It's been a good run dom, I'll still watch if you do live viewing but it probably won't be the same experience. This quarantine has been making me feel lonely but the co-streams helped kept me cheerful with something to look forward too. I will probably stop watching LCS now, production is trash, the quality of the matches are trash (even C9 seem to be slipping), and the casters are just absolutely unbearable (except phreak), these casters keep defending players when they fuck up i just can't handle it. At the end of the day, we can all agree on one thing. Riot are a bunch of hunchback grass-eating animals. Good luck dom.

Love you Dom. Hopefully you can get your partnership and Co-Stream back as they were undoubtedly the best thing about LCS and it made it actually enjoyable and watchable. There are far too many bad things about the LCS broadcast in general to enjoy watching it consistently or not just muting everything. Your Co-Streams were some of the best and fun league content I've seen, and we can all see how much it meant for you and how much you were invested/happy doing it. I really hope that we can fight back this decision by Riot and help you in some kind of way. Once again, sorry about the whole situation and I really hope you get partner and Co-Stream rights back!

I saw the update on the co-stream and I thought it was unfair. I don't really mind the ban from LPP but unable to co-stream is absurd. Watching lcs with someone that actually doesn't pull an punches when pro-players making an mistake. It's fun and gets the fanbase involved and people can call you toxic but you're not a piece of shit person. You have my support and I'm sure many others with you.

[@awareclueless]

Riot is just cutting in their own flesh, a lot of people wont come back to lec or lcs to watch. Only co streams made that happen. Thanks Dom appreciate your hard work and Im looking forward to your content ever since.

@John James Rambo guess what they dont get the money if they are watching doms stream doesn't matter if it counts. How do they know the exact viewing numbers of dom they can only assume how much money he is making and how many viewers he is having which inflates there view number making it less. The point is they don't fucken get the money for playing the ads to x amount of people nor the money for people watching the games buddy

[@swingyouth2749]

I'm not sure if you read these comments, Dom, but just wanted to say I'm really gutted for you with regards to the LPP. It is a travesty. To not tell you what the dismissal was for is such poor practice and there's a huge rant that could be had about this kind of petulant practice from Riot, but I'll use this space to focus on you. I got into your content when you started doing the Crackdown, but through that started watching your other stuff and would say that you were the biggest influence for me to watch any LCS content. Sure you're straight talking, but you're obviously empathetic, so your flame is merely comparing different levels of gameplay and using hyperbolic language. Because you've been in the community for so long I think you've managed to find a really good niche, as someone who obviously loves the region and wants it to do well, but hates how bad some parts of it currently are, and that dynamic makes for great content and draws people in. I hope they revoke this much sooner than next year, though I also wouldn't blame you for being weary about working with them again. You're probably stressed and sad, but you'll get through it one way or another, and I'm looking forward to seeing your future content, where you will hopefully be able to meme about this :) take care

[@2214ll]

Dom's streams were so much more interesting and quite frankly, better quality. Its so sad to see someone who has put so much into promoting someone's game just banned like that without an explanation. Guess I'll no longer be watching LCS, especially since the production quality of the official stream has been terrible and the overall quality of games has been horrifying to look at. Hope Dom at least continues this show ;)
