We published our first paper through SIDO last month on quantifying a player's performance in League of Legends using solo queue. This year, we're looking at validating our methods. Here is a thread of what we've done so far 👇

Tomorrow is my last day at @TSM. It's been an absolute privilege working alongside so many talented and hard-working people, and to contribute my part in TSM's growth over the past seven years. Thank you for the incredible memories and friendships that I will cherish forever.

It's been a few days but I still haven't been able to gather the words to express how much of an honor it has been to work with @Bjergsen for the past 7 years. Of all the players I've had to say goodbye to, this one is the hardest. Will be rooting for you wherever you go.

I miss the days of League of Legends when new champion kits were like:.Passive: Every 5 ability casts stuns.Q: Does damage on person you click.W: Shields the ally you click.E: Does AOE damage in a cone.R: Summons a bear who slaps the enemy.Buy AP because everything has AP ratios.

This will be the only time in Worlds history where it's impossible for NA to perform worse in Week 2. After years of the curse, it's finally broken.

With that win, @EvilGeniuses is the first LCS team to take a game off Faker in 6 years. Only other time in LCS history that's happened was CLG at 2016 MSI.

Goodbye my friend @Biofrostlol. I'm proud of your growth as a person and player since you joined TSM and am really excited to see how you shape your future. There's a lot of memories I'll cherish, but I hope you'll forgive me for sharing this :)

Let me preface this by saying that I think LEC deserves the fourth spot over LCS. HOWEVER, would be fun for there to be a Bo5 between the 4th best EU and NA team for that spot. so we get to see at least one Bo5 between the two regions this year.

Players -.1. It is not a done deal until you sign. 2. You can't sign until November 22 (FA Date). Please don't trust verbal agreements and stop talking to other teams. I guarantee you, the team will keep every option open until signed.

A rookie that stares boldly in the face of one of one of the best teams and players in the world and declares that he's going to stomp them and believes that he has the ability to do it is what makes sports so great. Thoughts about @jojopyunlol and those like him. Thread 👇

Regarding @100Thieves LCS, this it the first time in seven years that an organization has fielded the same starting roster for 3 splits in a row. Only other time in LCS history that has happened was the original @Cloud9 roster who stayed together from Summer '13-Spring '15.

Saw the TSM LCS news yesterday and felt nothing. It's a business decision as many have been for many years. The team that people fell in love with, feared, respected, and hated - one that embodied a relatable human spirit has slowly been chipped away until only the name is left.

The way @Caedrel explains the game both makes each moment tense and helps you empathize with what each team could be thinking in the game, even if there are mistakes. It's a real masterclass.

It's almost 2018, people need to stop judging rosters based solely on the mechanical strength of the individual players. There's more than enough precedence to argue for other factors being equally, if not more important.

Svenskeren is the type of person who adds a lot of value as a player, friend, mentor regardless of what position he's in. C9 just got stronger.
I want to thank @Cloud9 for this chance to join the team again. @JackEtienne was also gracious enough to give me permission for any team to reach out to me anytime about opportunities to play in LCS. Happy to be back and I'll do my best!.

The most underrated quality about @Bjergsen throughout his career is how often he will just blind his champion. It's the ultimate disrespect move and gives his teammates all the opportunity to counter pick.

Spica is one of the best players I've ever worked with and it's been awful to see the community try to diminish his past accomplishments and vilify him without concrete information about this situation.
the narrative has gotten out of hand. No one on the team was against shenyi shotcalling, in fact when he first told us (after 0-4) we all agreed. No player played a part in deciding his benching and it was not anything gameplay related. I wish my only job is to jungle.

My one wish for competitive League of Legends is to establish a meaningful tournament between NA and EU .Ex: Western Cup/ Western Worlds Play-In/whatever. Shorten summer season, have regional playoffs early. Dump all the best NA and EU teams into one spot with stakes and go.
