Yes another Romain roundup of the season / split with Yamato! Always loved listening to these on Voice of Yamato, and this should be a good listen on Sack Down
Best episode so far! Really interesting stuff and Romain is so energetic, you can really feel his passion for the game. I wish the LEC had more people like him
The sad thing is that I think G2 lived up to expectations gameplay-wise but seemed to stumble at finish lines all year...like they ass-blasted weaker teams and stood their ground vs the likes of T1 and HLE but simply couldn't cross off that one win when it mattered most internationally...and to be fair, their world's schedule was a nightmare
The only one who managed to keep Mikyx in check from inting too much was Perkz. But there will never be another leader like Perkz, we barely see them in traditional sports let alone in esports where most players are introverted and as Romain put it, neurodivergent. There is only one other esports player that was like Perkz and that was Fabian from G2's R6 team. It takes a special kind of human to lead a team.
Perkz is better than caps because perkz beat RNG 2018, who even Caps admitted they would lose to. So Perkz has always made it further in internationals than Caps.
Mikyx was better in 2023 (when he got the MVP), without Perkz. And I don't know where you get the intel that Perkz was stopping Mikyx from inting in 2019. From the interviews, it seems Mikyx was keeping him in check as much (considering his inexperience in the role and how cocky Perkz likes to play). Still true that Perkz is highly praised for his leadership in G2 2019/20.

around 52 min, ROMAIN EXPOSES EVERYTHING!!!! love how they say they want change but its clearly not allowed... ik some will tell me he means fans but whether he does or doesnt the message is still the same.
Pleeeeaaaase ask why we didn't get G2 Bo or Razork? If you actually want to win worlds as a western team you need developed players with the highest mechanical ceiling you can find no?
16:30 analogy is not correct at all, ehen he compared to relationship. Its never to late to ask such things, especially considering things do change around with time.
Even if this is true (it's not, you are either blind or educationally subnormal), "only have G2 members" means they have the staff/players of the best western org historically on speed dial.

GOATED guest lineup. Would love to hear from more GM's post the off-season
this was an amazing change of pace. It was really refrecing to hear a diferent angle from the industry
Halfway through but can already say, great episode. Sack Down atm is for sure the best league Podcast imo
hands down, best episode so far.
the interview he is referring to at 39:53 is with David Szajnuk if you are curious !

Love the Romain check up before the year starts, always will tune in for it
Crazy how I thought that this guy was just the G2 mascot with body paint in the arena games
34:23 I know G2 does/did anime nights but Romain using Hunter x Hunter as an analogy makes me like him more cause the show/manga is top 2 imo
Great guest
IWillTencent my boy!
This year is gonna bang.

WE BACK LFG
love the show
banger, also dom in g2 jersey :O
I had to rewind when Romain brought up Hunter X Hunter XD

Underrated comments, that's why his nickname was the captain. Perkz was born with natural leadership skills. Imo caps don't got that.

Yall should put your sponsors in the description as well not just comment
Sponsors for each episode are always listed and linked in the description

The intro never gets tiring
please change the intro song/beat😭
Can we please get jojo on one of these!!

28:42 G2 is special indeed lmaooo
Now we need c9 jack on the sack

Dom showing some skin - wearing a Tshirt is kinda uncanny since he's been wearing nothing but hoodies for like 10 years

Bo can't comms that well allegedly, and having seen razork on talkshows he strikes me as a different personality archetype to caps and bb
Cause Bo is the most overrated import to ever step in the LEC
Cause Hans is da goat of eu
Bo? Lmao good one
BO 😂😂😂

they only have G2 members xD
Didn't know Razork, Bwipo and Sniper just to name a few were in G2.

@@AcidicJazz1999Are you sure you have actually followed professional League of Legends, and that you are not simply hallucinating?

its ok to watch only g2 guests and skip handfull of other guests from other teams.
