#selfmade #100thieves #leagueoflegends
Holy shit. This needs a part 2... and 3 and even 4 probably.
Pre record the ads so there is no break in the pod
this is such a good suggestion, hopefully they take note. i feel like it turns off the guest a little bit sometimes depending on the guest.
Just seen other peeps like H3, YMH and others do it, seems to go smoothly and the guest doesn't sit awkwardly lol
for this podcast 100%, for courage and nadeshot, I think the ads should stay live
I'm not sure if you watched this live but the video had no ads
Just skip it
We need a part 2... Marc Merill is full of knowledge but not enough time in the podcast for him to finish what hes saying....
I think this is my single favorite episode of any podcast ever (I listen to about 4hrs of podcasts a day at work)
Please get this legend back on for a part 2 sometime!
reckful did a podcast with marc merrill, its on youtube.
can confirm I also listen to a lot of podcasts but this is like the most interesting one ever. So many topics that I wish they would've had the time to go deeper
Had so much fun and learned SO much from Marc. Seems like a lot of you guys are digging it too. What's your favorite thing Marc shared?
I thought what really touched me was his insight on self awareness at a young age. Sometimes I'm not always aware of what I want to pursue as I'm a college student and he definitely gave a very interesting standpoint on that.
I really liked learning about his interest in farting on employees...
these podcasts are so good for young business people, learning back stories to these people are insane
Sheesh this episode was insanely good. League’s been the rock for me for 5+ years and this episode meant so much to me and I’m sure the League community. There’s so many more questions and things I wanna hear from him and gain some insight into how League became what it has flourished into today. Wished this episode could have like 5 more follow ups
Dwayne Johnson has always been the Rock for me.
Malphite has always been the rock for me
This dude is so fascinating, I’m going through the exact same stuff he was talking about, 2nd year university and no clue what I want to major in, such a cool story
I know this series doesn’t get the most views but I absolutely LOVE this content. As someone entering the business world with a very good starting job, I love learning this knowledge and hopefully transition into this gaming business landscape. It’s been great to hear from so many intelligent and great minds
Yes! Please get him back on! It’s rare that someone catches my attention so hard, there is so many ideas and business practices he talks about that I believe in as well. I almost wish I could ask questions myself. Loved the episode 100T!
Riot is SO smart to have League 2 NEVER coming. Having a "2" means you don't think you are permanent and you think that evolving is killing off your old self, not improving throughout time. Truly smart to not ever have League "2" and keeping it just League of Legends. I'll play League until I die.
Such a good episode, very motivating for me as a young person who doesn't really know what their passion is and what to persue.
Marc Merill is so damn intresting and knowledgable, legit I loved this podcast! PLEASE HAVE A PART 2 with him again! I love his thoughts on disliking the traditional corperate structure.
Bro he looks like one of the Property Brothers 😂😂
Man, I'm loving the guests you guys bring on!
Reaaaallly good episode. One of my favorite series on youtube, thanks guys!
Great guest, pretty inspiring in a way I guess everybody can identify himself in his words and approaches. Like it. Keep Going Bruvs !!
So happy to see the game we love is in good hands
This was actually incredible. A very interesting man.
I love coming back to this podcast every couple months. Marc is such a deep thinker and can articulate himself so clearly. Helps me stay on track on what I’m tryin to accomplish.
Wow... this one was f*cking amazing. So much value, insight, and great advice for young entrepreneurs. KEEP IT UP! 👍
Cant believe 100T made a whole podcast about Fnatic new jungler Selfmade
Thank you for having us! (says the host of the show) xD
Hahahaha I died
@MarcMerril Hey, idk if you'll ever read this, but two questions:
A) Did you play a Barbarian Warrior in EQ? (Tryndamere from Halas? Yeah? Yeah?)
B) If not, what did you play?
Very cool to hear that you played EQ, such an impactful game for those of us who had the opportunity to play it in the beginning, during the classic times!
Yes I did, that was me on Tallon Zek ;) also played on Sullon Zek
This one was really in depth, and I learned a lot.... definitely need to hear from him again!
When you’re here before the ‘Who’s been here since before 2019’ comments
BUFF ADCS
Before 2019?
How can people be here before 2019 lmao
Jack a fan of 100t obviously
Blake Bennett ?
"im a big MMO guy" bruh make an mmo
They just announced an mmo game
@@dbud26 Are you sure? Riot Forge announced 2 new single player games and riot teased a shooter, fighting game and dungeon crawler. Where did you see an MMO?
These podcasts keep getting better and better.
I actually gained brain cells from listening to this podcast.
I did elf on the shelf about 10 years ago when I was a child, I remember being so mesmerized by it moving it was amazing
Zoomer
this dude is a legend. the most popular game ever...
Pleaseee a part 2,3,4 etc! I love this stuff
Yo, this podcast didn't come up in my timeline or anywhere on my subscriptions or anything I had to come and find it after watching the end podcast of last year. UA-cam doing you a dirty here.
Thanks for the content, very humbled to hear from one of the founders of one of my favorite games. That being said I really didn't like his comment about gun control or at least wish he had expanded a little bit on it. Because he in quite the bubble if he believes 99% of Americans agree with gun control but it's not getting passed because of corrupt politicians. Of course he could be talking about a less radical approach than the traditional absolute gun control and confiscation stance projected by media.
PLEASE bring this guy back. So much to learn.
Haven’t seen Selfmade in a while so it’s exciting to see this back again 👀
Great Podcast, Loving the different guests
This was great from open to close
Pretty amazing insight. I’m finishing up my bsba degree with an emphasis in business management at San Diego State and would love to work with league of legends and esports. Would the esports program at UCI be a good investment?
Any progress so far? I am looking to work in the space as well.
Love me some Merrill
"Made me feel like a dumb ass because this man is a fucking genius." 10/10 - IGN
Get Marc back in the studio this was the best podcast you've ever done and it felt like there was so much more he could have said
This podcast was fucking awesome.
I hope Mark writes a book sometime. His knowledge about the industry and life in general was on another level. I could listen to this man talk for hours! Best podcast yet!
Great podcast. Only complaint is that he said hes "a big MMO guy", and we dont have a League MMO yet
DEF needs to have him back for sure i could listen to him talk all day
I've learned so much from this video and I am trying to become a youtuber in the world of sports and would love to do it full time
liked, favorited, 5-stared, shared, and omg... best one yet, learned so much. thank you!
so part 2 of this awesomeness this weekend? right matt? right? dont say no matt
damn nadeshot actually made it. its marc himself holy fuck
elf on a shelf has been around for years lol we did it when i was a kid
marc is so damn intelligent
Ok yeah so when's part 2 of this miniseries?
i lost an hour and a half of my life. I dont know where it went.. I am profoundly happy after that loss of time. I might do it again..
Very insightful interview
Nadeshot wanted to see 100T Bjerg
Why was this posted on the 100Thieves channel and not Nadeshot's channel?
Where does Nadeshot get his tshirts? They are so nice
Marc Merrill for President
Id love for these to be 2 hours cause in in school for 4 and I need something to listen to
nade was too busy playing COD back in the day to notice the elf on the shelf thing
Since NadeShot mentioned Hunter Hunter I've binge watched them all I like it as much as DBZ I need more Like if you watched Hunter xHunter
We need second podcast with Tryndamere
PART 2! PLEASE DEAR GOD!!!
Can we have a part 2 please?
I hate ranked so much the toxicity of the game spikes. I have friends who quit after years of enjoying norms. once they committed to comp, they just didn't have fun anymore.
They never talked about what Marc Merrill thinks is the future of the next 10 years of competitive gaming!!!!
Mark at 24-25: Ready to build one of the largest gaming companies today.
Me at 24: Hi, I have a minimum wage job, that I dislike, and my life is barely together if at all.
You: Damn that's depressing.
Elf on the shelf has been around since I was a kid so like 10 years ago
This finna be some goood ass content
Wow, awesome guest!!
Someone should have turned Marc's mic up.
Can we get a Pt.2 ????
shareholder meeting will teach you whos right.
100T With the Quallity Content as always
get Andrew Yang on the podcast :D
why the guy in the middle speaks from his stomach
Should've asked him when he was planning on deleting Fiora from the game.
sett announced and relased on pbe on the same day lol
This is grade A content good job
This dude is amazing lol
Pre mustache nade
Bro look at the water moving everytime nade lifts even a finger. Get a sturdier table, that must be annoying.
Im lowkey Selfmade
This "podcast" still needs some major work. The conversation never flows well and it all feels very artificial. Nadeshot wants to get to his talking points and never feels like he is interested in what the guest is actually saying. His demeanor comes off as a bit too serious and is never really on the same wavelength as the guest. I really like Nadeshot in other settings but he just doesn't work as a host on this show. Jackson does a good job though and seems like he reaches out and tries to connect more than Nade.
I personally think you're wrong. Nade is a great host, you're just looking at it too deeply. They want their podcast to be their own thing, why does a podcast have to be a certain way to be good? He's doing a fine job on what he's doing, and i respect the grind. He isn't a perfect human being and neither are you, quit hating and enjoy it or don't watch. The podcast doesn't have to be a certain way to whatever the top podcasts are like. He's still successful at what he does but I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.
@@Ureakuh Yeah that's great if you really enjoy the podcast, and you're entitled to your own opinion. I listen to a lot of podcasts and this is nowhere near the worst, but nowhere near the best either. I understand how difficult it is to host a conversation with such intelligent and accomplished guests.
All I'm saying is that often times Nade seems in over his head with the conversation and struggles to add anything memorable or interesting. Matt is definitely a funny guy and has good comedic timing in other videos and series, but that just doesn't usually reflect here. Kind of feels like he's trying to be something he's not.
What are you talkin ab bro this is the most interesting podcast I’ve seen in months, we all know nadeshot, the perspective of it is on Marc and he let him rant and reveal himself, that’s the entire point of bringing guests onto a podcast.
@@HauntIn60 Sure i can see where you're coming from, i respect your opinion
I'd say, at least in this scenario, this guy's just got too much knowledge coming out that Nadeshot kinda struggled to follow which can happen with people at such high IQ. Jackson definitely understood a lot more
Why cut the man off with a time constraint? if he got shit to say let it flow, yall too busy to not let the man who basically created your jobs speak? Or cause people dont click on super long videos? This kind of stuff isn't for the 10 minute spergs anyway imo.
Super cool y'all
Dislike for Tryndamere?
"Worlds Biggest Game" Fortnite has left the chat.
Marc can i become ur dog
Marc you are a fantastic young man, if you are reading this comment I am a programmer at the University of Utah currently and will be working for you in a few years. Hope to meet someday.
Griffin Tubridy good luck bro!!
I would buy and read his book no matter the cost! He's really interesting to listen to
yeet feet
Marc Merrill came up with DotA in college?
Nah just a better version of a terrible product
Calvin Blair you should listen to the podcast :)
Wtf
Fix your game hehe
first yeet
thanks for the likes everyone
@@Loud3nedit: thanks for the gold kind stranger
This killed me XD
I didnt knew what league of legends was, i had to google that and i got an idea.
Any ways... this guy is so brilliant I stayed the whole 1:15 min listening and reflecting a LOT! My guess is that him and Elon Musk will create the real world Matrix in less than a decade or something like that.. an electronic wrking platform plugged in to our brains to teach math to kids in Monrovia for instance. THIS WAS GREAT!!
Plz check me out im trying to join a org plz get back to me
1st comment
Balance the game or we wont come back 0 skill exploitation all this game is and why you sell skins to support a exploitation that gives a person 0 success in your game, 5 million players lost just take the game off the net for good do some good in the world for a change jesus your game is the worst ever made pong up to the here and now by far.
