DIARY OF AN NA FAN - 10 Days to Live - Worlds Play-In Stage Finished

Dear Diary, It’s me - NA Fan. When the seasons change, I often find myself lost in reflection. I think about the past, present, and future. I ask myself the tough questions, even the darkest ones.

100TALK - A Conversation About 100X with Raafaa and Hyper10sion

The dads are high on 100X - and so is everyone else, quite frankly. They join forces with amateur LoL scene experts Raafaa (@raafaacasts) and Hyper10sion (@Hyper10sion_) to hear their takes on 100T's success with the squad, the challenges of an unstructured amateur environment, and what the lasting impact of 100X will be on the development of NA talent.

DIARY OF AN NA FAN - Bug Juice - Worlds Play-Ins Day 2

Dear Diary, It’s me - NA Fan. Worlds is finally here. It’s sad that the only team worth cheering for didn’t make it, but during this competition, you know the drill - NA over everything. So yeah, I woke up early to watch some Team Liquid games. They went exactly as I hoped for. Strong victories. All of the analysts got it wrong. Maybe EU isn’t actually that good. Yadda yadda. But instead of feeling optimistic, all I can think of right now is Bug Juice... Jordan and Cole bring back a 2019 series on League of Legends Worlds and update it for the brand new year.

100TALK - Keep It 100 - Your 100T League of Legends Takes, Rated

Now that the season is over, the dads officially welcome the 100Kids on to the show to give THEIR takes on this squad - and to be rated by Jordan and Cole. Listen here. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00:00 - Intro 0:03:41 - Joel: We should use some of those VC bucks to buy a star midlaner and change our meme-team designation 0:18:02 - Punisher: Bring in Sneaky and Smoothie to entice Jensen into leaving TL for 100T (don’t call us Old C9) 0:28:47 - DREC: Positions feel pretty solid outside of jungle and mid, and we should look either at available domestic alternatives or an import to provide experience and leadership 0:40:12 - PaperID: GG and Fly started cold and are now hot while we have the opposite trajectory. We should look to emulate their slow ascent rather than find a quick fix 0:53:44 - KingofJarls: 100T is too trigger happy with young talent. We (and the scene) should place more value in the old guard 1:05:55 - TheSnailSage: We should commit to Ssumday or trade him. He’s too valuable to justify ...
