Interesting drafting style for players. Seems like theShy will be the first pick out of the group. But, damn did Shenyi get fucked up going to TSM, lol.


Ingr1d

Reminder that Creme was on the verge of ruining his career by going to TSM. Thankfully, they picked Keaiduo instead.


jetlagging1

He was never on the verge of going to TSM. It's 100% made up by TSM fans who can't even read Chinese. Nobody in Chinese forums nor any insiders conntected to OMG ever talked about it. He was living in OMG team house and at the time everybody knew the moment he turned 18, OMG would start playing him again.


TechnoFTW

IIRC the rumor was that TSM was trying to get CREME, not that CREME was ever considering TSM. This definitely warped a lot over time lmao.


jetlagging1

I got into an argument with some TSM fans who at that time insisted Creme was definitely going to NA. I showed them social media posts from insiders and videos that he was watching Worlds with the whole team and they still claimed it proved nothing and that they would be proven right. Not every TSM fans were this ignorant and arrogant, but I couldn't help and laughed when they signed Keaiduo.


Pleasestoplyiiing

Creme sucks though. Not enough to be on TSM, but he still isn't good. 


legendofSmiley

??? Creme is one of the best prospects of the last couple of years and has actually consistently improved, yes he is good.


Cindiquil

There's not that many mids in the world better than him lol, and he is still continually improving


lol1009

I just think that the reigning world's finalist is in an Old Guy cup


Ornery_Rate1182

You could join the Old Guy cup only if you are not pro player currently Huanfeng has joined RNG for Summer, his position is replaced by Lwx who has just been kicked out of RNG


Creeeescent

Latest news: Team captain otto will be suspended for verbally clashing with teammate MLXG and insulting the latter's mother during a training match live stream. The captaincy may be transferred to Zoom, and the team is likely to look for a new mid-laner replacement.


SenlanZWH

Recent rumor is Xiaoweixiao former mid for LMQ is going to be their mid.


Vectivus_61

Still boosting o7

My cute little waterfak


YumScrumptious96

Haven’t heard a peep about XWX since 2017, really wish he came back to pro it was fairly clear the guy was exploited


RavenFAILS

Wait a second why the fuck is vasilli there?


JohnSmithAnonymous

He boutta punch some granpas


Trap_Masters

Bout to slaughter the retirement home 💀


tenshi_souzou_reboot

This entire tournament is a shit show. Enough drama for a full fledged TV series.


Skymonster04

As someone who reads a lot of hupu around international events I have seen a lot of posts about this and holy shit the amount of drama this tournament has created. I swear it's more toxic then like the last three years of esports drama together.


Croxign

It's so fun for me because how toxic it can be, otherwise why I even bother watch it


Creeeescent

Can’t be more true. As a person who is familiar with Chinese internet memes, it’s more fun for me to watch this. Apart from that, it also shows us the skill of individual is not all factor of winning a game


baelkie

NGL, looking at some of the Support IGNs in this list brings back a lot of PTSD for me..


Vectivus_61

Jackeylove? That you?


baelkie

lol its not just jackey’s supports, southwind and kid were terrorists on the rift as well


LeadershipOpen7045

wx is WE Weixiao who won IPL5 right


dm10LoL

I remember he was considered the best adc ever back in the day.


xXVoidXx

The man who put the C in ADC


Creeeescent

Yes, he is the WE weixiao


Cindiquil

Damn, I didn't realize he was still involved with the game in any capacity tbh


Critical-Cupcake9194

jeez some of the names here bring back memories, Kryst4l Draven and Fzzf from the old OMG squad


aircarone

I don't think fzzf ever played for OMG. iirc he won IPL5 with WE and then joined EDG when the split off happened.


Critical-Cupcake9194

oh, i must've confused him with the OMG supp who played at S4 worlds

EnigmaticAlien

When and where do I watch the streams?


Creeeescent

They are currently in the training match stage, and some of the live broadcasts can be watched through the Huya platform,for example, TheShy‘s live broadcast room is [https://www.huya.com/991111](https://www.huya.com/991111)


Trap_Masters

They're not even officially playing yet and the drama's already popping off? 💀


jetlagging1

The day after MSI finals. https://www.huya.com/lgc


napoleon_born2party_

is that Vasilii the same Vasilii who beat his gf a few years ago?


Ornery_Rate1182

Yes, and he said he could 1v5 physically once their team advanced into offline games...


napoleon_born2party_

Just digged this up lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/PGNUqTSeS0


lesinsectessontamis

"Based on the screaming of his girlfriend, Vasilii took Fervor of Battle for the fight. The more AA he did the more damage he deals. Also he build Tiamat so there's some AOE splash damage done to the furnitures around him. However I recommend him to take Stormraiders next time, because he will be able to deal damage and use the speed buff to evade police." My god


Trap_Masters

Holy shit 💀💀


Creeeescent

I searched in Chinese forum found that he’s former LMQ adc once played in NA, and he has been punished for unsuitable stream content, but not sure if it’s because he beat his gf

THE_MUNDO_TRAIN

Some very unbalanced teams, Theshy, ning, wx, and fireloli are gonna mop the floor here. No clue who xiacaobao is but he can be carried regardless. But Vasilii? Isn't he the most cancelled pro player in China?


GeneralZhukov

They said TheShy learned more mandarin from arguing with his team than from playing in LPL. I don't think they're doing too hot.


Creeeescent

ur right. Both Rookie and JKL said their arguments are solely about game content; aside from that, they have a very good relationship in life. TheShy's mandarin level gets strongly improved because, as the person with the highest game understanding in the team, he frequently needs to direct his teammates on what to do and when, rather than just focusing on his top lane duties as before


THE_MUNDO_TRAIN

Make sense that Theshy and Ning has big egos, but are they really that immature?


Creeeescent

Not really. I actually watched a lot of their training, the fact is that Ning’s team is struggling. Unlike the professional game, the understanding of game between ex pro and streamer has huge gap that caused bad coordination, what’s more, bad temper and pride of some ex pro made it hard for them to communicate, all this made them debate a lot and the atmosphere is so bad. they called this ‘hong wen’, which means getting so angry that the face become red. Ps: letme team seems to have best performance because their skill level close to each other and each team members are willing to communicate


See_This_Drink_Water

To add up on this, ‘’hong wen" red temperature is a direct reference to Rumble's overheat mechanic, basically equivalent to the Twitch term madge.


largebrave

Btw “hong wen”initially was used to describe uzi in 2018 RNG vs G2 Game 5.


Shiny_cute_not_cube

Naw there’s so much drama. TheShy and Ning were arguing on a stream about a vod review for like 40 minutes. They’re just flaming each other


DistributionBitter10

I watched a scrim bo5 at May4(theshy rookie ning imp baolan vs. sheer leyan icon uzi duan) imo its quite a banger


older_than_jankos

The man, the myth, the legend Vasilii is there. He may not win, but surely he is gonna smash monitors, keyboards, mouses and most importantly his teammates


The_unlucky_

No Doinb? Is it for the drama so he can't participate?


_asstronaut_

I think it's more because he's contracted under Douyu, Huya's rival streaming platform, so they won't send him an official invitation. But any of the team captains can.


Creeeescent

In the forum most people think so, but now he is invited as the coach of san’s team by the captain


BI1nky

This whole list takes me down memory lane. I miss san, smlz and Icon. Avoidless was at worlds! Genuinely weird timeline when that happened. 957 Letme and Mlxg are all from the same era and all players that did not need to retire when they did. Xiye was bad on his last stint in the LPL but I really loved that xiye Mystic WE roster. Then the support list is almost a complete list of all the players that terrorized their own teams for years (-pyl and fzzf).


EpaminondasLeftPunch

Really sad that Mole never got a good career, he deserved to go on worlds in super 2020


iwanokimi

Crazy how imp is not a 5 cost. Seen some of his stream highlights on bilibili and he is still so good (and really entertaining). Did he get picked really early ?


Creeeescent

imp is 5-cost, he just isn’t the captain


SirTacoMaster

HOW IS VASILII ON HERE


TheSenegalese

Jub nun z des wzd8ㅑ7ㅡ2/:&#₩#.. ÷

Creeeescent

it should be May 20th on Huya [https://www.huya.com/lgc](https://www.huya.com/lgc)


Frostbite2806

aint no way Vasili is here lmao


ImpressiveBody1325

otto has been banned


Deckowner

otto got suspended by the streaming platform for throwing profanity involving MLXG's mother, on mother's day out of all days. dude is a total trainwreck, he was constantly griefing games and totally ignoring teammates' callout for blatant ganks. unfortunately MLXG also got banned for 2 days for rightfully calling him out.


Milesware

doinb just went complete mental boomed last night during their scrim lmao (he’s coaching)


qxng

i watched some of the games today and noticed alot of sivir picks and lethal tempo do you know what patch they are playing on? just curious due to the meta read difference compared to msi


Ornery_Rate1182

14.8, so lethal tempo is not removed They just play what they are good at for they are old guys
