When Teemo Beat League of Legends Pros

[@foximou]

Wait, why did you not include other roles ? Specifically I'm thinking of the c9 pick vs tsm when Hai picked him

[@gbay99]

@@foximou So as I said in a few other comments, I omitted 3 games when he was played: Hai, Electra, and Tails all played him between 2013-2015 Mid or Bot lane. I didn't want to spend too much time going over that part of his history and kinda lumped those games into the "he found a small revival as a mid-bot flex option" comment. I was more interested in when he was repeatedly used seriously rather than one-off picks.

[@ravindupadmanath2802]

hey gbay i know you probably won't see this comment but after looking at your recent community post all I can say is don't give up on what you are doing. if you truly love making these documentaries keep doing those. even if all that hard work and effort might not be able to crack over 100k views don't beat yourself keep going cuz sooner or later your videos will be notified and will be loved even if some aren't interested in the history of the league. some people and youtube itself may favour more consistent videos while some might favour the quality of the videos. but for me, I always respect content creator that make passionate videos that they put the hard work in. which is why you one of my favourite league KZbinrs

[@killuazoldyck7705]

I agree. Theres a lot of reasons on why the video might not get as many clicks as other videos, and I dont think that they are Gbays fault (Worlds just happened, so the casual players that dont play regulary are probably less interested in League right now, semester started so people got more stuff to do etc...)

[@zoranristovski4869]

Yep for me too

[@BBweed420]

In the modern meta of tightly controlled vision he’s actually pretty good. His ability to force the other team to take more sweepers can seriously limit their vision control and if they ignore him he can turn chunks of the map into absolute no go zones and become a split pushing nightmare. I don’t know if this translates into pro play but on the ladder he fits today’s league very well as a map control machine. Too bad most solo players just use him to minefield mid and add 20 minutes to their teams loss lol.

[@Squary94]

Split pushing is not really viable in pro play. Minefields are worthless there as well since movement often happens in groups and only one sweeper is necessary to eliminate that problem. In teamfights mushrooms can not be effectively used because their damage is simply not front loaded enough and a blind is no big deal considering how many caster physical dps exist that rely on 0 auto attacks. He is to outdated to work.

[@Tianlu-j6p]

I never have been into E-sports, but Teemo is a champion with a special place in my heart. He was the reason I started playing League. He is still my champ with the highest mastery points.

I would love one of Shaco. He's tied with amumu for lowest picks excluding seraphine at 16. Maybe a documentary about low picked champs? I remember you did one on Garen right before he blew up.
