Why do Pros pick boring Champions? | PROS ft. UmTi, Huhi, & Olleh

Welcome back to PROS! This time, Emily is joined by TL UmTi, NRG Huhi, and IMT Olleh to recap everything from LCS Week 2.
In this episode, our players discuss C9's surprising loss, NRG’s victory over FlyQuest, and how playing in the first league to use the 14.2 Live Patch is. Olleh talks about how he picks his champions, Huhi explains why he doesn’t like Champions Queue, and UmTi shares what it’s like to go pro as a young Korean player!

MarkZ delivering on "we will use the time that was previously spent on the analyst desk for different content" already. A+ for the players podcast.

Umti's english is sooo good. It's my first time to hear him.

[@peterranney9488]

The most impressive thing to me was that he said he didn't know what Preparation meant. Having the confidence to know what is confusing and what isn't is a huge thing when learning a language.

Yeah, her vast knowledge of the lpl and lck makes her the perfect host when talking to the Korean import players, and Huhi is the perfect guest to have when talking to more than one Korean import because he can be a pseudo translator when needed XD

Such good content, honestly. Idk whether it'll be algorithmically rewarded, but as an LCS viewer and fan this makes me want to double check the LCS channel every week just in case there's a new PROS that hasn't been recommended to me by KZbin.

[@saintnerdherder3569]

28:00 Olleh is on his revenge arc. I think the fans also want to know what the players are doing from 6-11pm ;)

Love watching the pros segment! Emily was an incredible host for this segment and seeing the players so relaxed and friendly is awesome

[@TheReductus]

Great piece of content. Really love to see more of the players, hear their background and thoughts on current situations. Great insight on Champions Queue, loved the little things between the players, like when Huhi impressed everyone with his French, the little talk about Kimchi Stew, or the PC Bang stories. Having this look into their personalities and letting them be goofy on the show really makes me appreciate the players so much more and gets me hyped for the teams and players I usually dont know much about. Great job Mark, Emily and the whole team :)

This is quickly becoming my favorite LCS content, looking forward to it every week
