"If TL were a much better team, they could win MSI." - idiot caller

When you think of NBA goats, you think of MJ, Kobe, even Lebron. But none of them were the first inductee. I guarantee 99% of people dont know who the first inductee is, I dont. However, not putting Faker in right now is now is not disrespectful because we ALL know his position in the HoF is 1000% guaranteed when he does finally retire. As Raz said, let people like Smeb, Uzi, Mata, Bengi, Xpeke, erc get the first spots. Does being first inductee vs 10th truly matter, we all know hes the goat regardless

1:30:52 Saving this for later :)

i was young

TL coulda 3-1'ed T1 if they clutch that game 2 with Yeon popping off on Samira. I swear if they win that game things go differently

I've said it before and ill say it again, Riot Games / LCS brand needs to make a scholarship program for Highschool (doesn't exist yet) and Collegiate leagues as prize pool. Get the parents engaged. imagine getting a scholarship for college by winning a league tournament. Or piggybacking off the pro team skin profit sharing, do one of those for the prize pool money for the HS / Collegiate leagues. Current players would LITERALLY be investing into the future of the game and esport.

NA is dead just accept it

cubby's take sure aged well

1:18:00 I'm with Shawn. Highkey, it doesn't matter if Faker is the first person in or not, because highkey him STILL PLAYING after the thing is created is a merit in and of itself. He's not done yet and you can't commemorate his career without his career being over yet. Also, there are plenty of worthy players that should be in and delaying the thing makes 0 sense. Doing an introductory class now isn't a bad thing.

Seeing you guys gloat at LCS first seed beating LEC second seed as if it was this insane accomplishment tells a lot about your expectations for your league jesus christ.

Zemelci is a actually autistic with that take

What's the problem if they release a botw upgrade for switch 2, as long as it's free-$10 at most upgrade for people who already own the game. I have several friends who are holding out for switch 2 and would definitely buy a "botw remaster". No harm to us right?

Aight i gotta see if i can do a hot take soon about topics touched on the NA commitment section.

7:25 Exactly this. Instead of trying to save costs by divesting from tier 2 like dumbasses, why don't they save costs by not importing random foreign players for millions who have like a 50% chance of not even making worlds? We spent so much on Perkz and SwordArt for what exactly?

Rare bad take from raz. No one cares about how t sports work, if you put anyone but faker in first its an insult. No one else is even worthy of consideration.

raz's face when he got shouted out was too cute

I just wanna say that the reason that LCS has lost ALL of its potential to compete internationally against the top 10-15 teams in the world is because of the leagues franchise model. The only reason league even became a big thing back in the day was because of player made teams popped up , look at CLG, TSM, AaA etc they all popped up because players like Regi , HotshotGG and their teammates wanted to make a team and compete as a official team and without them doing so LCS , LEC, LCK, LPL and all other leagues would never have existed. We need to remove the franchise system, have a secondary league in every region where u can be RELEGATED to if u underpreform. Relegation is key in order to get teams to actually spend money on rosters and take the team serious cause noone wants to be relegated and the same thing goes for the 2nd tier leaguef, promotion up from LCS Tier 2 (whatever u wanna call it) into LCS is the only reason any team would wanna comitt to compete at all. There has to be some rules made against an org having 2 teams in the same league tho and if their Tier 2 team would be advancing to Tier 1 it has to be sold off to some other org or forfeit their promotion spot. (obv smarter ppl then me can make up the rules and how it should work but the idea is still solid)

Don't worry, you're core audience is aging along with you.

Holy shit people are actually complaining about FAKER being first in the hall of fame. FAKER. FAKER!!!! Anyone complaining about this is an idiot. It's Faker. Do I need to say anything else? Yes, faker should be an exception. He basically carries the name of league to everyone who has never played league. He IS league of legends at this point. What a bunch of idiots holy shit.

Why people still watch league,tho? China has also having a ton of shady human rights issue. So does USA whose ironically being proud at funding IDF's carnage on Gaza.Get your head on

Yeon and Apa won worlds..?? IS ZVEN LEAKING SCRIPTS?

My mind is telling me T1 But my heart wants TL Copium

HLL is the only esports related podcast that I consume on a weekly basis, i don’t use Reddit so it’s the only time I get a glimpse into fan sentiment, and I really enjoy the show. But Travis man, you gotta stop having a knee jerk hate response every time someone mentions a traditional sports league. There are plenty of cogent comparisons that can be made that you shut down because you yourself don’t watch them. The audience will understand the references

No way TL beating T1 not bc they cant but bc most of TL are asians and asians like to play meta not offmeta west cant beat east in meta picks not just yet anyways GoodLuck atleast i hope its not a stomp.

I think TL has maybe 3% of beating T1

Raz is 100% right about the Hall of Legends. Good take

The only way I can see TSM coming back is if Reggie just sold the TSM trademark to Immortals. I can't imagine Reggie swallowing his pride and coming back to the league.

RAZ'S TALKING ABOUT MACRO?? WOW, NA IS REALLY FUKED

I'm from the future and I can tell you that T-won and TLost

This guy is a hypocrite

I actually agree with Travis. Faker being first is not an exception to any rule. They are free to do whatever they want. Would I have waited till he retired? Yes. I think Faker's retirement might be the single most impactful moment in league esports, but still I dislike this infatuation with using traditional sports as the metric for what League should be and do

I was a TSM since 2013 (not one of the obnoxious ones) and would 100% not root for them. No way. The damage is done and they’ve lost me as a fan. I’d consider coming back if regi was gone and they seemed to be a much better org overall, but that’s a real big pipe dream lol.

Also a respond to the question to raz about faker and hall of fame , and people getting angry about other players not included even tho thay are still playing , sure meiko deft are great players ,but in No way they are close to the greatness of Faker , Faker troughout his whole career he has being the best in all metrics of being great and by mile , he has the highest peak , most international titles most domestic titles , insane longevity , i mean the man made 6 world finals that's about half the entire worlds history finals , he made 4 Msi finals about half, if there is an exception to hall of fame it should be Faker , and im pretty sure ppl won't be mad about it.

Nice Kevin Hart reference lmao

00:57:57 Most sane TSM hater. Also Cubby is extremely rude and I hope he learns manners at some point.

Travis, sorry to say but you are definitely not correct on the hall of fame take. In every sport it is understood that hall of fame is a celebration of players who have ended their careers. First never matters in it.

True on what Cubby is spittin Watching LCK challengers since 2022 it's insane how Thanatos did not end up on a main roster

G2 just 3-0'd the team that 3-0'd TL, and TL is playing T1 that went 5 games that G2 could have won, I think I will need a heavy dose of copium.

TL>IG is the bigger upset for sure even if TL upset T1. IG went 9-1 in group stage after 3-0ing world semis and finals. Hell they even 3-0d lpl speing finals! We were in the IG era. People thought they were the new t1. They stomped t1 in 16 mins at this msi! No one stood a chance except t1 in a game that didnt matter. Sure 2019 tl was a super team. 2018-19 IG was on track to become the best team of all time and looked unbeatable at msi. T1 might also be the reigning world champs, but they havent even won their own region. They have been provenly beatable domestically and internationally. 2019 IG literally looked unbeatable.

Thanks!

I don't rly watch international because it's always at 2:00am and we always lose.

Doubting my boy again 🤦🏻‍♀️ #tlwin 🎉

hyein is drop dead gorgeous

It's weird to watch these episodes after the match they're talking about has already happened. Like I wonder how much Cubby's take on G2 changes seeing that not only did they beat TES, they completely crushed them. Like at no point did it ever look like TES might win a game. Obviously they're still not favored to win the whole thing, but you can't say it's a ridiculous idea anymore.

Could you guys please stop typing while other people are talking? The clacking is very distracting ><

Imagine how bad it’s gotten for TSM if they let IMT merge w/ them 💀

NA > LCK

52:35 not a chance. T1 are reigning World Champions, but they are the 2nd seed from Korea and they've been slumping the whole tournament. If TL won against T1, it wouldn't be more impressive than G2 vs RNG 2018 Worlds QFs (3rd seed from EU taking down the tournament favorite en route to the Grand Slam) or TL vs IG 2019 MSI (reigning World Champions that, unlike this T1, were looking unstoppable after a 9-1 groups stage). The fact that some people are even considering that TL has a chance is pretty telling.

Wow Raz and Cubby with pretty fkn good predictions for the G2 game! Right on fellas

My problem is that D&D is on Mondays. Very grateful for the opportunity to consume this content during my day off. Thanks for making painting my new computer room go by more quickly. One comment on perhaps the least controversial subject, i wanted to call out Cubby's take on the Hall of Legends. Firstly, hard agree that players should be retired before induction. Secondly, on the subject of money, Cubby hit it directly on the head: think of the LEAD-UP to Fakers induction. THAT'S where to make an exception, and only one of scale. So many skins, a month long celebration, go nuts!
