Time to get Reapered on the show, let him tell about his coachingstyle and the differences between the previous C9 team he coached, and the current one :)

[@mallyseaugh]

"get on your knees" was wild 😂

[@MagusMik]

“Ok” 😐

[@klinkclang]

Meatytoes has been talking about the bo2 double header a lot. I wasn't convinced at first but I think I am now. Single round robin feels really punishing to teams like Dignitas which have the potential to level up a lot during the regular season. Playing teams like C9 at the start hurt them more than playing them at the end of the season, I think. Double round robin bo2s with each team taking blue side sounds like a fantastic structure to me. Game count matters so even ties won't feel as bad because you can still see which teams are more competitive during the regular season.

[@RiftRaft]

Also logistically better because you have a set amount of games in a day

[@A3sth3tik]

Thanatos dying in top and twitch chat spamming "re" is ganna be the new thing XD

[@timmydang8793]

Meteos in the Smurf outfit today

[@Auixerre]

Good guy Vulcan fixes Blaber's mic. What a teammate. :3

[@mikecassidy8322]

Next episode bring on the Fudge and Thanatos!

[@adoggoboom]

In future podcasts, is it possible to see everyone matching in the Meteos’s outfit? Thank you for the content.

[@patrickdement1474]

Reapered and Thanatos or Jojo next time.

[@saephon3988]

We need a Reapered, Thanatos, Berserker Korean tri-cast interview PLEASEEE (but thank you, love this kind of content regardless

[@aura7117]

As an NRG fan, I really appreciate the discussion, and I hope they improve.

[@biojc28]

Keep the content coming lads

[@C9LoL]

Will it finally be a Nidalee day against 100 Thieves?

[@julessantana2139]

Pls no

[@Warpenguin55]

I hope not

[@RomnysGonzalez]

Reapered next time

[@KGCMX]

best of 3s is the way but we need a double round robin if they can't figure out how to do 2 rounds of bo3s, try doing 1 round of bo1 and 1 round of bo3s.

[@Mrryn]

I mean, the latter format sounds almost like the current LEC format - single round bo1 into an 8 team playoff of bo3s into a bo5 playoffs. Plus not entirely sure how feasible double round is going to look with the calendar being split into 3 splits next year around the 3 internationals. If anything, bo3 single round here is likely a litmus test for continuing it for all three splits next year, with the addition of fearless draft to it once this format is solidified.

[@KGCMX]

@@Mrryn With 3 splits, I don't mind single round too much, but when there is 3 weeks off in the middle of a single round robin split.. what's the heckin' point?

[@Mrryn]

@@KGCMX Blame Riot going for the blood money. EWC fucked things up. It was the reason they changed the days of the last games, so the teams going (FLY and TL) had extra time to prep, fly and adjust. One weekend to fly over and adjust and practice in SA, play in the actual event the next weekend, fly back and readjust to LA the next, and then settle back into scrims for the upcoming games which is where the teams are now. It sucks but at the very least, it was only two weekends worth of games missed. Which in a bo3 format only amounts to each time getting one extra series against 2 of the other teams. But if they didn't have to schedule around the event, I feel that a double round would have been workable. Needing to have to work that time in meant biting the bullet and settling for just the single round.

[@Turbovolver]

Blaber that's called the Gambler's Fallacy :x

[@Dib.rafael]

It’s not a random event, though! People can disrespect you more if you are at the bottom

[@Turbovolver]

​@@Dib.rafael Fair!

[@seanculwell5754]

the thing with best of 2 is its not a 1-1 draw. Each being individual. 1 Win 1 Loss.

[@jamesde4428]

I want to see reapered!!

[@santoscr7]

Give me sneaky or give me death

[@stephanpio]

I wonder if they intentionally all wore single color combinations on purpose. Vulcan's shoes ruin my immersion.

[@Tlcampbelljr1]

Lane swaps are only valid if the bot lane has a horrific matchup and it’s still not as effective as having winning lanes, unless you’re sacking for scaling. So, it’s not really that prevalent in LCK/LPL because those teams are better at punishing than LEC/LCS. SO, lane swaps only suck for viewers if each team knows every move to create a stalemate.

[@lildeath0258]

Kinda want that khaki kit that blaber has tbh

[@NotGilmore]

buy it then why do u need anybody elses approval

[@lildeath0258]

@@NotGilmore cringe

[@shedblood1645]

Double headers isn’t bad, if it’s also a double round robin, your basically playing 1 team 4 times

[@c9fan]

man when is kennen gonna get his turn in the JG XD

[@RetroLugia951]

"it's too expensive, budget issues so there's not more games" well here's a novel idea, get out of California? Moves from Cali: Hmm. The amount of money we have somehow just doubled?! Who woulda thunk it! Not directed at Blaber, directed at riot*

[@Dib.rafael]

Repeared, beserker and thanatos in Korean on the next show (with english subtitles of course)

[@orionmilbury4817]

Let’s go

[@nikp3516]

I hope they nuke ap jungle/ ad mid, it's easily one of the worst spectator metas especially when you add in swaps

[@flame-fl3yy]

How do I get myself a One Piece X C9 Pillow?

[@mitchr1619]

Thanatos to HLE to replace Doran within the next year 😢

[@Superduperskateboardsx]

BRING SNEAKY AND DO A PODCAST WITH HIM

[@Owln8]

[@braydonbronson1983]

What’s up with M-Diddy’s costume design??? O.o them blue pants ARE NOT IT. still love the show though

[@MagusMik]

If maximum games of LCS have been 2-0s they should move it to Bo2s because the best teams will always 2-0

[@tobaccymatty]

The first 30 seconds was so out of pocket lol

[@fernandoarrieta2364]

Vulcan cannot stop supporting assisting his full clear jungler afk farmer by fixing his mic, dont msg me saying im support main I am a jungler so i can shit on other junglers
