yeah get rid of Rogue so we stop losing to them
LCS getting rid of NRG for you at Worlds too 😂
I laugh at the thought that the G2 CM is literally paid to be online and shitpost on anything EU Esports related. You living the life, CM
@@randomlatindude2119 why stop at EU we'll shitpost anywhere if we get the chance
You say that but ive never seen a g2 comment on a random meme@@G2LoL
@@matthewskullblood9778 we'll improve our bad
Imagine being the LCS, a dying product in dire need of sponsors, and you see a podcast company owned by MonteCristo of all people getting a McDonald’s sponsorship. LFN goat
This makes me want to go Buy some mcdonalds
Common Monte W
@@ggMonteCristo monte is never wrong
What's wrong with MonteCristo?
@@ggMonteCristoif you asked riot they would say the sponsorship doesn’t have enough “gravity” lol (poor DOA)
People made so many jokes about Dgon looking like a carrot with the green hair, that he actually turned a little orange.
Dgon channeling his inner Trump
lmfao Dom saying ubereats during the ad spot must be so surreal doing an ad for McDonalds
Its nice to finally see the arrival of IWillKwangdonginate
I nominate Dgon for fraud alert next week.
Them mentioning the toilet bowl matchup brings me back to OWL and the greatness of their toilet bowls lmao
especially watching them on the avast costream
EU:
G2 & FNC have the most claim to spots
BDS & SK have been fairly solid and willing to rely on local trained talent (korean botlane but SK was also the team willing to run with Doss of all ppl)
KC has abnoxious fans who are a shame to their name, but the team itself the concept is exactly what you want in your league, there isnt a team out there with their own stadium and viewing parties. TLDR you cant kick them being relevant and recently bought in too.
6th is tough...for me its between Heretics and MAD, im unfamiliar with the spanish scene but like the french MAD seem to bring a lot of new fans and viewership. That being said i think im tempted to go for Heretics as they too have spanish roots but have done a better job being inclusive and mixed, sure theyve been disappointing for a big part but id give them a chance because of the content and their concept.
NA:
C9 & TL easiest pop to mind as core of NA
FLY & 100T id say have the most hype around them and add to the league
Shopify deserves a shot and a fresh start and last for me is DIG as theyve atleast been consistantly almost relevant whereas the others have been coasting to the fullest for some time now.
Edit: holy shit i didnt know i shared Monte's movie taste xD Hook with Robin Williams is slept on and the '93 Three Musketiers for me is amazing and likely among my alltime favorites with other "bad/cheesy" stuff like The Rock and The Princess Bride.
Was great keep it comin boys
The three musketeers 1993 is a masterpiece, Monte showing his good taste yet again!
The mcdonalds sponsor actually makes me so happy. Shoutout to the college dorm days when we were all broke and ate here. 😂🎉
Just wanna say loving the content, even if yall don’t see this you guys are doing great work. AND LETS GO DGON 🎉🎉
All for love is one of my favorite oldies
Wait Dom complimented wolf. Now I have seen everything
Can tell Monte hasn't been to a live event in awhile cause going to Spring & Summer finals last year for LCS, 100T had some of the best presence there, in terms of giveaways merch etc. Might be one of the least disconnected teams. Yeah they're all in on shooters but they put in the work for LCS at least, which can't be said about other teams.
He's mostly saying it because they had talks before spring to leave so they obviously want out
Then why were they one of the teams mentioned of contemplating an exit? They removed all of their talent pipelines, went full budget this year, and even disassociated their main Twitter from their lcs position.
Im loving it. The McDonalds sponsor is dope. Havent had mcdonalds in a while, got the app and found out they have the new mega meal, 5$ for a solid combo. McDonalds back to being my number one fast food cheat meal choice 💪
Had to grab fast lunch today and the McDonald’s sponsored convinced me to go there 😂
Hope you ordered ahead with the app and/or used it to get points and free stuff.
@@lastfreenation I had to, if not I’d be throwing
This is the best podcast ever
Hope that one person loves the other two roast movie arc goes through will be so funny to watch 😂
Sweet and Sour plus BBq for nuggiez is the only right answer.... or when they had that spicy mac sauce
I used to sit down and watch LEC all the time but yeah the games just feel dead this year and to Doms point some games are just pain. I've literally just watched g2 games as they are just ahead and experimenting with better strategies for the future.
I also dont like Bo got kicked out, so GMing has been ridiculous this year.
Making LEC 6 teams would be so nice, maybe then the absoulute s tier players would all come togheter on thoose teams isntead of spread over the board. I also think tier 2 would be more competitive with the promotion
The McDonald's cashier had no idea what i was talking about when i told them LFN sent me
Bro McDonalds as a sponsor!? Big W!
Anyone know wth that tts said at around 46:50?
dgon goated with the romcom meta for guilty pleasure movies
Is Richard Lewis gonna contact the sponsors of Powerspike now that Dgon is castlng EWC? 😅
My favorite part was when monte told wolf to shut it!!
Id get rid of LEC for sure, although I agree with monte about his point about 100T, nadeshot does not give a flying fuck
KDF should be 0/10 fraudulent but CvMax? Jail that man for the game 2 draft.
also Dom everyone loved Bull last split because we had to watch Taeyoon play for a full year and not get benched. if you had to watch Taeyoon you would love Bull as well.
My friend group slowly all became g2 fans over time and i thought it was getting kinda boring so i started being an sk fan as a meme last year because i liked irrelevant and then when they got nisqy at the start of this year i genuinely became a fan so i do in fact exist dom.
I was an Astralis fan from Origen in 2015 on and when they sold I went for SK because I love pain and hate winning. Also I like Nisqy and am German
1. GenG - very obvious
2. BLG - also pretty obvious
2. T1 - this is where it's basically impossible to say, I take T1 because they at least performed at MSI and have played some decent competition this split, compared to teams like TES and JDG
Lil pup tried to sneak JDG and TES there when there is G2 xdd? 1. GenG obv, 2. BLG, 3. T1 easily, 4. G2 obviously, 5. TES/JDG. Imagine thinking when G2 stomped LPL 2nd best team 3-0 in a BO5 to think TES or JDG would even be close to G2, or the other top 3, JDG maybe close but TES, nahh never.
@@leevimasalin2301 G2 did perform very well in their series, I wouldn't be getting overconfident saying they're clearly the 4th best team.
@@leevimasalin2301complete overperformance from G2 and collapse from TES is all it was
@@eVillGaming-eng even all three of the people from this videos said that G2 is a legit top4 team in the world, and that came out of DOMs mouth, (LPL enjoyer)
@@ericlin2992 I love it when western team does well somewhere its a ”complete overperformance”, but when G2 loses to NRG its just that ”NRG is better” and not a ”total overperformance” xdd, the goalposts move so much its hard to keep up with these trolls. As of now, G2 is easily top 4 team in the world, i dont see any team from LPL except BLG who could best G2 even (maybe if the team overperform), in LCK i only see GenG and T1 beating G2 all other teams are trash so.
2 minutes ago? This is intimate
just here to comment i agree with all of Monte's movie choices
What about Honey Mustard?
It’s a Zeri meta. So Ruler Peyz Viper.
If you invest in a phenomenal coaching staff and GM, you can get away with paying the minimum to players while still being competitive
Light set throat belgian? 46:51
over under until dom complains about his viewers: 43.5s
KT played better vs GenG than HLE did
Thank you McDonald's
The biggest problem with lec is absolutely the format. Playing stretches are too fast and too many breaks it’s literally as not hype as it could possibly be
I hope the irony of doing an add about McDonalds and then doing an add about a nutrient- and gutteral health drink is not lost upon you guys. Get that bread tho.
U probably get more of an effect out of the McD than these scam drinks haha
1. GenG
HUGE GAP
2. BLG
3. T1
better idea merge mad and kc into one dumpster fire of a team
D-gone with the Saudis
TL top 3 team in the world right now.
Putting 100T in the bottom 2 LCS teams instead of Shopify is weird. The critique of their failed/discontinued products is also weird given they do have successful long-running products, unlike SR. if the critique is unsustainable business, 100T is one of the few sustainable businesses.
Was hoping for some team vs team discussion about brand value and gameplay. This was kind of the typical "this player sucks that team sucks" shit-talk
Is there a universe where the new Americas region merges with the LEC to form a 8-16 team region?
The universe where ur brain fully developed is also out there
Why would anyone want to watch people slam Cool Runnings??! Why would anyne ever want to slam Cool Runnings? Seems crazy to me
Yo these sponsors are out of hand bro like 20 minutes of commercials bro come on
Can I get rid of every gm in the west besides G2's management
Imagjne saying All for love is a bad song. Horrible take
Of all things, I did not expect actual All For Love stans in the comments
👍
I'm on monti's side there is enough talent in EU just very bad GMing
I've been saying this for as long as I can remember but BDD is a fraud man. Dude always manages to impress people but he is never the guy I would look to give the last shot too, or lead a team. Any team who picks him up as their best player and expects to win is delusional.
Flyquest will not go to worlds. Thats not even a bold take. At the end of the year dig and 100t will be better than them
Wtf how down bad is mcds
You're wrong about 100T they're by far the coolest LCS team, Flyquest is a million times more cringe btw
You flame them for their merch, products, videogames and streamers, but they're just trying to pay their employees man nothing wrong with that, the whole point is to make mone y
DEAcolyte sucks lol
My list:
1. GenG
2. BLG
3. HLE
4. T1
5. JDG
6. G2
7. TES
8. DK
9. KDF
?!?!? Wtf is this garbage xdd?? You are clearly HLE fan or have bias towards that team, its ok its your list and i respect it. But, putting HLE above T1 and G2 is a crime against humanity, putting JDG above G2 is even bigger crime against humanity, TES literally beat JDG back to back bo5s, and G2 beat TES 3-0 like swoop them out. JDG isnt even better than TES like this list is so bad? But i know that accurate lists are boring and you try to make this ”wildcard” list.
1. GenG
2. BLG
3. T1
4. G2
5. TES
6. JDG
7. HLE
Other teams are so trash that they dont even deserve to be on the list, like this guy put DK 8th and TES 7th like?? DK would lose to Rouge from LEC or Immortals from LCS, like these 7 teams are desent i placed, other teams are just literal garbage. But i know my list is ”too accurate” and have no ”fun factor”, i umderstand your wildcard is HLE, ”HLE better than T1” xdd wtf
first
Get rid of LEC and bring G2 over to NA. Problem solved. Who cares about EU LCS anyway.
I'll kick the entire LCS and LEC, and skip to the next segment
They are coping so hard about LPL, they know their region is finished 😂
🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
They were in finals at MSI lmao
Well Dom (IW take LCS over LEC), even if the LEC would only have two teams like your wet dreams are telling you, LCS would still be miles behind at any time. Half the pool is full with East players who failed in their region. Thats what your noobleague is capable of. Hell, no one in europe even watches LCS teams. Not interested at all. So slandering EU MGs, talents, fans, teams while wanking over Aram LCS is such hilarious. 😅😅 Good luck speedrunning internationals as always. 😂😂
Geng = TES > BLG > T1 > JDG
Like guys, i have to comment this here because i have seen alarming amount of people putting their ”top 4 lists” here and the lists are something garbage like, GENG, BLG, T1, JDG or GENG, HLE, T1. Like wtf are these garbage as lists?? There is only one list that is accurate and you literally cant argue against it.
1. GenG
2. BLG
3. T1
4. G2
Rest of the teams are literal garbage, G2 swoop the whole LPL out of the tournament, like TES beat JDG back to back bo5s, and G2 swoop TES 3-0 out of the tournament, why are people even talking about JDG??? xdd, they will lose to TES and BLG, and TES will lose to G2. Like these people even watched MSI?
bad list stop coping
@@atman982 you literally came here to comment this xdd, well what is your top 4 team and why. Remember be very very careful when you argue your team in the top 4 spot, and take everything into consideration. It can be turned against you really quickly.
Yea, LPL definitely isn’t a dog water trash 1 team region this year. They definitely have 2 of the best 3 teams in the world 🤡
I mean... give your top 3 then. And your reasons as to why you are more impressed by LCK teams than LPL in summer (besides GenG and BLG ofc)
I don't care if you personally like a certain player or team btw. I'll accept a slight preference in terms of "playstyle" and "better champ pool".
You don't have to hate watch btw.
@@vez3834yeah bro, LPL teams beating randoms in groups is why they’re good, but T1 losing to actual teams like GenG = bad.
Can you imagine if LCK got piss stomped 3-0 by a western team, if they would still claim this? Lmao. IWillCopeinate delusional as always
@@jackthomas3483 You can listen to their reasoning, but it is possible to evaluate the difference between T1 vs average team and JDG vs average team. If T1 is too reliant on something, lose in lane or are sloppy in macro... and JDG isn't even close? Like, I don't think winning against piss low LCK teams is as hype as T1 UA-cam or the Korean casters might try to make it.
@@vez3834 winning against pisslow LPL teams isn’t any better. Difference is when you win against pisslow LPL teams these glazers will start overrating them. IWillCopeinate and his fans have brain worms
@@jackthomas3483 but yea. Ofc T1 fans are the most rational and objective in the world. No matter the meta or the standings... my idol uwu Keria I love you will always give T1 the edge to beat every team.
Top 3 teams in the world, the real list:
1. GEN
2. HLE
3. T1
T1 fans unable to comprehend getting comprehensibly beaten by a Chinese team. An increasingly common trend.
@@aceguy1234they literally demolished every lpl teams at worlds. And t1 never lost a bo5 at worlds against lpl.
@@deejaay387lil bro they are talking about this year. Do you not comprehend? BLG beat T1, HLE wasn’t even at MSI. As of current GENG > BLG > the rest
T1 fans have to have the Men In Black pen on hand to forget that MSI is a tournament that is now more competitive than worlds.
@@bread5839 why did he say "chinese teams if only blg beat them?" If we are basing it on MSI so its 1. Geng 2. blg 3. T1 4. G2 no othe lpl teams. Thats it HAHAHAHAA
