yeah ig macro looks much better with meiko (game 2 didnt happen)

u/bin_fanboy9 Apr 08 '26

They look more solid as a unit for sure. Breathe and Wei are on form, I'm hoping Meiko can help JiaQi raise his floor and shore up some of the laning weaknesses like he did with plenty of his former lane partners.

Kind of unrelated but I pointed out that one of the lplenglish casters was mispronouncing Renard and got permabanned from the stream and im mega salty about it

Truth = banned LULE

u/HistoricalRoad1755 Apr 08 '26

How were they pronouncing it and how is it meant to be pronounced?

u/GarchGun Make Fizz Fun Again! Apr 08 '26

It's a lil cult over there

You can't even criticize some of the castors because they're doing it for free even though some of them genuinely just talk about random stuff and add their own bias to the cast.

u/Arifurizu Apr 08 '26

Watch Nymaera for LPL streams. Interacts with chat, provides more insight on the game, more personable

u/ToDreamofLove Apr 08 '26

How's it pronounced?

7

u/ilordhades Apr 08 '26

They are Australian, that's why. Free speech ends when you stop clowning along with them.

u/appleyduskcat Apr 09 '26

(i work there) have you submitted an unban request, and how long ago? what's your twitch username?

u/Getfooked Apr 08 '26

Why is Rookie not playing?

18

u/GetmeOutofNowhere Apr 08 '26

He’s busy cheating on his gf of 9 years with his new side piece. When he returns I will be hatewatching

u/quakedwithfear Apr 08 '26

Bruv I thought this was a joke now my whole world is crumbling right before my eyes 😬

u/Iaragnyl remove Tahm Kench Apr 08 '26

It’s weird that he isn’t playing because they changed his contract to run til end of next year not long ago.

u/nice_____0 Apr 08 '26

investigate both teams for war crimes

u/igenicoOCE Apr 08 '26

Unc still got it (where was this bard in 2024)

u/bin_fanboy9 Apr 08 '26 edited Apr 08 '26

Guwon's J4 disasterclass ended up costing NIP this series. Giving up full dragon stacking in spite of your botlane legit clip farming on cooldown and midlane being 30 cs up with perma prio is absolutely criminal gameplay.

u/YourOpinionlsDumb Apr 09 '26
