[@DeFiantApocalypse]

Im loving it. The McDonalds sponsor is dope. Havent had mcdonalds in a while, got the app and found out they have the new mega meal, 5$ for a solid combo. McDonalds back to being my number one fast food cheat meal choice 💪

[@dutchdude1985]

EU: G2 & FNC have the most claim to spots BDS & SK have been fairly solid and willing to rely on local trained talent (korean botlane but SK was also the team willing to run with Doss of all ppl) KC has abnoxious fans who are a shame to their name, but the team itself the concept is exactly what you want in your league, there isnt a team out there with their own stadium and viewing parties. TLDR you cant kick them being relevant and recently bought in too. 6th is tough...for me its between Heretics and MAD, im unfamiliar with the spanish scene but like the french MAD seem to bring a lot of new fans and viewership. That being said i think im tempted to go for Heretics as they too have spanish roots but have done a better job being inclusive and mixed, sure theyve been disappointing for a big part but id give them a chance because of the content and their concept. NA: C9 & TL easiest pop to mind as core of NA FLY & 100T id say have the most hype around them and add to the league Shopify deserves a shot and a fresh start and last for me is DIG as theyve atleast been consistantly almost relevant whereas the others have been coasting to the fullest for some time now. Edit: holy shit i didnt know i shared Monte's movie taste xD Hook with Robin Williams is slept on and the '93 Three Musketiers for me is amazing and likely among my alltime favorites with other "bad/cheesy" stuff like The Rock and The Princess Bride.

I used to sit down and watch LEC all the time but yeah the games just feel dead this year and to Doms point some games are just pain. I've literally just watched g2 games as they are just ahead and experimenting with better strategies for the future. I also dont like Bo got kicked out, so GMing has been ridiculous this year.

[@FrederickThe3rd]

The mcdonalds sponsor actually makes me so happy. Shoutout to the college dorm days when we were all broke and ate here. 😂🎉

[@MagusMik]

Can tell Monte hasn't been to a live event in awhile cause going to Spring & Summer finals last year for LCS, 100T had some of the best presence there, in terms of giveaways merch etc. Might be one of the least disconnected teams. Yeah they're all in on shooters but they put in the work for LCS at least, which can't be said about other teams.

[@gauge9100]

He's mostly saying it because they had talks before spring to leave so they obviously want out

[@YNOBLITZ]

Then why were they one of the teams mentioned of contemplating an exit? They removed all of their talent pipelines, went full budget this year, and even disassociated their main Twitter from their lcs position.

[@derekwilliams9477]

1. GenG - very obvious 2. BLG - also pretty obvious 2. T1 - this is where it's basically impossible to say, I take T1 because they at least performed at MSI and have played some decent competition this split, compared to teams like TES and JDG

[@leevimasalin2301]

Lil pup tried to sneak JDG and TES there when there is G2 xdd? 1. GenG obv, 2. BLG, 3. T1 easily, 4. G2 obviously, 5. TES/JDG. Imagine thinking when G2 stomped LPL 2nd best team 3-0 in a BO5 to think TES or JDG would even be close to G2, or the other top 3, JDG maybe close but TES, nahh never.

As of now, G2 is easily top 4 team in the world, i dont see any team from LPL except BLG who could best G2 even (maybe if the team overperform), in LCK i only see GenG and T1 beating G2 all other teams are trash so.

[@leozacharydickenson769]

Putting 100T in the bottom 2 LCS teams instead of Shopify is weird. The critique of their failed/discontinued products is also weird given they do have successful long-running products, unlike SR. if the critique is unsustainable business, 100T is one of the few sustainable businesses. Was hoping for some team vs team discussion about brand value and gameplay. This was kind of the typical "this player sucks that team sucks" shit-talk

I've been saying this for as long as I can remember but BDD is a fraud man. Dude always manages to impress people but he is never the guy I would look to give the last shot too, or lead a team. Any team who picks him up as their best player and expects to win is delusional.
