I actually think this is a really powerful ted talk even though the views don't reflect that. I still think about the basics of what he says here to this day. Also, i used to play League a lot and i know him from that too XD.
I didnt like him at first. He was a terrible caster. However, he has improved alot. He is now one of my favorite caster. He is also IMO the least bias and completely not a racist caster.
he loves clg and team liquid you can tell. but hes not bias like jatt when theyre losing he doesn't think they'll come back. jatt did that so much last season. at least wtih tsm dominating we dont have to hear jatt excuses
Why would you be surprised by that? Minimum wage is literally the lowest you can legally be compensated for your labor. If our economy was healthy, everyone would be making more than minimum wage and there would be effectively no need for it.
***** if you think sion is a bit(tiny bit) under powered than other tanks, that's you oppnion(and a bad one too), but calling him outright shit?!?! there is clearly something wrong with you, no offence.
The Thumbnail messed up for me, clicked on it to see what it is about... found the talk to be somewhat about the thumbnail! Interesting stuff BTW: The thumbnail was a blender
Heres what I took from this. Have rich parents buy you into and pay for you to attend one of the top universities in the country. Have connected friends from said university give you a leg up looking for jobs. ?????? FOUND SOME SUCCESS BOYS! EDIT- BE SURE TO JUST LITERALLY DO WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT IN LIFE BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS WILL PAY ROOM AND BOARD WHILE YOU FUCK OFF
That's what makes college so valuable. Networking is the true secret to life, and networking begins at university. I've met so many people that have great careers with useless degrees because they were smart and made lots of friends young.
"Econ has less calculus in it"... I'm transferring to UCSD now. My Econ degree is full to the brim with math, calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, etc.
I mean, this applies to many things imo. A more normal example. I'm a gamer. I'm also a bookkeeper. Being able to work well with pc's as a bookkeeper is damn useful. Not enough can do so.
This isn't worth being a Ted talk. doesn't teach any valuables lessons. "Your hobbies are valuable"? Really? Your family and friends should be telling you this.
It was a story about thinking outside of the box and finding a way to succeed that goes against all conventional wisdom. The dude surely doesn't deserve a nobel peace prize, but I think his speech was worthy of a Ted Talk. I've had the pleasure of meeting people who truly love their careers and color me fucking envy, anyone that can love their career that much will find so much more fulfillment in life as most end up hating their day at work every day.
1 minute in & not only one pun has been used. Phreak don't let me down...
Sadly 95% of the people in there would not understand them. FeelsPunMan
its so wierd seeing phreak not in a suit and not going by phreak
I couldnt find any =( guess im not smart enough
Phreak's champion spotlights. That is the way I was introduced to League. Thank you Phreak.
Me too!
"Welcome to the League of Legends champion spotlight. Featuring..." words that made a game the most played game in the world
Facts
phreak-trying-to-make-aatrox-look-viable.avi
Aatrox getting more attention at a 17 minute Ted Talks than Riot ever gave him the last 3 years of League.
And today he did.
Phreak killed it :)
He absolutely did, his enthusiasm on talking about his passion is tremendously inspiring.
this is such a good talk though, lets be real
"Come with me on my stupid fucking journey"
Triforce?
All the way man
"I answered all of my spam emails for a year, this is my journey"
4.5 million subs, and only 3k views...shame, Phreak is awesome
To be fair, this channel uploads a crazy amount of ted talk videos in a day. A lot of good ones end up getting overlooked.
and now there's 106k ayy lmao
Tons of tuition
holy shit ahahaa
An awesome speech, Phreak. Glad I came across this!
Hairs balding, my jokes are weak, tons of damage, my name is phreak
Riot's spaghetti
REDDIT PLEBS, INVADE
LE REDDIT ARMIE HAZ ARREIVD
Oh you threw a comment too
I SUMMON THE CRINGE UPON THE COMMENT SECTION
Tons of damage..... you are a legend yourself.
You made me a LoL player with your champion spotlights.
Thanks
Amazing story Phreak!
The amount of people that I've heard that's been helped by Alki David is crazy.
Make an LCS player play Aatrox. I dare you.
lmfao
Np, just give Darien a few ounces of weed now and then and he's the man for your job!
Elvathar
thats ex LCS man
TI Pilot
Hence why you should pay him so he would play again.
He was a top-tier pick at launch.
Good luck seeing an LCS player nowadays play Aatrox though .
Best champion spotlight NA
OMFG PHREAK!
really good message from phreak, i think the slideshow presentation could've been better.
I actually think this is a really powerful ted talk even though the views don't reflect that. I still think about the basics of what he says here to this day. Also, i used to play League a lot and i know him from that too XD.
How did phreak inspire me so much
I didnt like him at first. He was a terrible caster. However, he has improved alot. He is now one of my favorite caster. He is also IMO the least bias and completely not a racist caster.
he loves clg and team liquid you can tell. but hes not bias like jatt when theyre losing he doesn't think they'll come back. jatt did that so much last season. at least wtih tsm dominating we dont have to hear jatt excuses
what casters are racist
I might be wrong, but I think OP is talking about how the casters often have obvious region pride when casting on international stages.
This talk has an abundance of mana BigBrother
Tyler1 Reformed
PHREAK!
He's a really good presenter.
I didnt know Phreak had been on TEDx.
Holy crap this is real
When you realize that someone made more money teaching warcraft 3 than people working minimum wage in the US.
HAHAHA HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED THATS TRUE!
Why would you be surprised by that? Minimum wage is literally the lowest you can legally be compensated for your labor. If our economy was healthy, everyone would be making more than minimum wage and there would be effectively no need for it.
Ye I agree Jeff, he was also ranked 30 in the world in that game so making 15$/h is really bad
Why on earth is Aatrox on the Thumbnail? Aatrox is the most failed champion, the opposite of being successful lol
getting reworked soon, buffing base stats
what the hell would you even try to tweak in his kit? He needs a Whole New Identity like the Sion rework.
***** lel
***** if you think sion is a bit(tiny bit) under powered than other tanks, that's you oppnion(and a bad one too), but calling him outright shit?!?! there is clearly something wrong with you, no offence.
The Thumbnail messed up for me, clicked on it to see what it is about... found the talk to be somewhat about the thumbnail! Interesting stuff
BTW: The thumbnail was a blender
Rolled a D20, CRITICAL MISS YOU'RE FIRED
Follow your dreams :)
but what if I have no skills
you sleep with other people's support
so you telling me I should become a male prostitute?
git gud
You have 4 of them atleast.
If you have no skills (which i highly doubt) then you need to start developing them.
of all champs he chose aatrox
the first champion in the list
Yep
Do speakers choose the thumbnail for ted talk or what
these hand gestures though
LOOK AT THE CLEANSE LOOK AT THE MOVES! PHREAK! WHAWT WAS THAAAAAAAAAAT
+imjustkidding lmao
My debate teacher would've gone nuts.
Heres what I took from this. Have rich parents buy you into and pay for you to attend one of the top universities in the country. Have connected friends from said university give you a leg up looking for jobs. ??????

Being able to work well with pc's as a bookkeeper is damn useful. Not enough can do so.

Teacher pay per hour "when you break it down to a 40-hour work week"

He retired now. Haha
PHREAK HAS NO MANA LUL
This isn't worth being a Ted talk. doesn't teach any valuables lessons. "Your hobbies are valuable"? Really? Your family and friends should be telling you this.
It's a TEDx talk.
It was a story about thinking outside of the box and finding a way to succeed that goes against all conventional wisdom. The dude surely doesn't deserve a nobel peace prize, but I think his speech was worthy of a Ted Talk. I've had the pleasure of meeting people who truly love their careers and color me fucking envy, anyone that can love their career that much will find so much more fulfillment in life as most end up hating their day at work every day.
This is a TEDx talk, not a TED talk. It's very different..
Phreak, if you have to justify how your college major was useful in your current career, then it wasn't useful at all. Just be honest with yourself.
Tryharders.... !! I bet he was a main yi or trynda hhhhhh xD
