There's is no such thing as 'Aggressive player and Defensive player' They are just 'Better player and worse player'.
Apdo : "Casters can't outright call pros bad. That's why they created the term 'defensive player'. You can't play defensive if you have clear wide vision in this game. Look at Ning this final. He saw every kill chance he could get and committed to it. You call that aggressive? No it's just that he saw opportunities that bad players could not. There are no lunatics in Worlds stage that go for an 'aggressive' gank with baseless assumption. That kind of player can't reach Worlds. 'Defensive player' just doesn't have what it takes to see that kind of opportunity. It's all same for the laners. Aggressive players are just good enough to dominate opponents. Even when playing defensive role, good players play aggressively. You just naturally become aggressive if you're better than your opponent."Cut the meta excuses.
"People say that this year's meta shifted to rewarding aggressive style more and that's why IG won. I say bullsh*t. They won because they were better. If you look at their laning phase, you can't give any excuse to meta. They just crushed every lane. And that's why Ning dominated the series. Just think about it. Every enemy laners has chunked of out hp. How can you not play aggressive as a jungler?"Laning ability is everything of pro player.
Apdo : "Let's say there are two challenger teams. Team A destroys every laning phase but throws like crazy in mid game. Team A is ranked 6th. Team B just goes 50:50 but closes out the game with near perfect macro. Team B is ranked 1st. Which team do you think has higher ceiling? You can learn macro. It's extremely easy. You just have to listen to a good coach and that's all. But can coaches teach you how to dominate lane? If you ask me, I've always felt like laning is everything in pro scene. You just can't teach how to play in lane."I knew TheShy was gonna succeed.
Apdo : "There were only 5 players that I felt the absolute difference before they went pro. Faker, Rookie, Ming, MLXG and TheShy. Look at them now. I could just feel that they were different way before they went pro. I've never felt that again from anyone since season 4. I think that's why LCK fell right now. No talents. Oh I think I semi-felt that from Chovy. Not quite the same, but he's decent."Moojin? Nah
Apdo : "I feel like every Junglers have to adapt to the team when you go pro. I've never seen any team that solo laners change their style for the jungler. Doesn't matter how great the jungler is. It's always the JG that has to change their style to fit in the team."TheShy was a monster.
The most talented player I've met is TheShy in season 4. I'm sure that was his peak as a player.
Back in season 4, I've felt like TheShy could have already passed Faker if he played mid.
He was so much better in season 4 than he is now.KP, KDA, DD means sh*t.
Actual game play is thousands times more important.
If I have to sort them by the importance, it's
- K/D/A (3%)
- Damage Dealt (2%)
- Kill Participation (1%)
Just ignore those numbers when you play this game.

Apdo : "I was extremely lucky. For every stage of my success, there was a person who helped me. I was extremely lucky to meet them. Had it not been for them, I wouldn't be this successful that's for sure."
DuoQ should be removed.
It only specifically benefits botlane pros. Other than that it's just pointless. Why does it even exists?One of 'Accept Mechanism' or 'Auto Dodge' must be removed. Or both.
Back in season 2, we didn't have to press any button to enter the game lobby.
It had its demerits of AKFers bringing free loss after an hour long queue, but Riot fixed it by changing 'auto-pick random' to 'auto-dodge'.
But they added Accept mechanism on top of that. What's the point of having redundant mechanism?
You don't press 'Accept' if you will go AFK right after.
You agreed to be in the presence by clicking 'Accept'. Why would you go AFK right after???
That should be punished with a loss.'Dodge' doesn't have benefits anymore.
And add to that, 'Dodge' just became a tool of holding hostage.
It has lost its meaning and everyone is abusing its malfunction.
Either it should be an auto loss for the dodging team, or they should remove it.
Think about it. Dodge only ever ignites the fight. If it never exists from the beginning, people won't hold hostages with troll picks as it will only become their loss.LMFAO

Dopa's translator : How come he doesn't stop talking for a ten sec for god's sake. How am I supposed to translate this?
[1:04:00] Dopa came back.
Translator : (Uses sarcastic honorific) Sir, you have 0 consideration for your translator. You spoke for 1 hour straight without any break. Let me have breathing time.
Dopa : Just add subtitles later.
Then he proceeds to watch 20 mins of random Chinese 'Healing video' LMFAO
