Hey there!

It's a somewhat cliche answer, but I'd say there's no real specific skill set, as there are a bunch of different types of roles. With educational background, we have those who were almost exclusively self-taught with no college education, to PhD candidates. Each role within the team requires a different skillset, and we seek to have a diversity in knowledge so that we can have a multi-faceted approach. Majority of the team does have some sort of computer science background, but the specialties widely vary - we're far from all sysinternals guys.

I actually come from a completely different work space than video game cheating - I come from the world of online poker security. However, the team took a chance on my threat assessment and problem solving abilities to have carryover into the Anti-Cheat space, and I think this highlights how pragmatic we're willing to be in looking for what the "right fit" is.

I'd say the commonality between the team is a...

As a top lane main, this is what Sion looks like to me regardless. I won't ban you for this, but I WILL ban Sion.

In regards to a cheat that relies on CV - yes, we've seen it recently, but the effectiveness is pretty limited.

Regardless of effectiveness though, we'll still ban if it's actively seeking to give an unfair advantage.

Yeah, pretty much this. They aren't currently being banned but anytime you're tampering with the game's code, you're stepping into murky waters.

BWAAANNNNNG :O

This is so freaking rad!! Nice work! Thanks for sharing! :D

(Now someone make a 1 hour version of this pl0x)

We'll open it up to more regions in time. We want to take it slow and steady this time. There'll be more Clash news in the upcoming weeks.

Yah yah yah yah yah (I'm actually not sure).

Wait, SKT and TSM didn't reach Worlds this year??

Kidding aside, this was not intended behavior so we'll be fixing this in the next patch.

#ESGWIN! :)

We should hire you for the 2019 Worlds video. ;)

Unfortunately we promised that Championship Ashe's border + icon would only be available during Worlds 2017.

This is correct

Yepp. Pretty surreal hearing League songs when I'm out.

Alan Walker played his remix of Legends Never Die at this past Coachella and Mako has a sick live version of it too.

You should! Glitch Mob is always a crazy time.

The real question you should be asking is if they'll drop their remix of Crawl Outta Love

I look forward to hearing this song at Coachella 2019.

Can't speak for all, as we are quite a big bunch, but I can give some visibility on this topic. It depends on several factors like - what is your role, what work has to be done in the EU office/studio, does Central need your support for Worlds and so on. Some will work on getting the studio ready for 2019, making improvements, focus on personal growth or start working on 2019 EU roadshows. Others will squeeze in some holidays for sure, as this time of the year, with no EU shows running makes it easier to disconnect from work. Still, there is always work to be done, maybe a bit less than during a LCS season :)

I can give an example from the EU Events & PM team. One of my colleagues will be working all stops and she will be leading the content teams from all regions. She will provide support, like helping them to schedule their interviews and produce content about Worlds. Another colleague is leading the Player Management side of Worlds and she will also work most stops as t...

Yep, exactly :) It's always a pleasure to work with Diyyo. He creates such powerful and beautiful videos <3 If you haven't subscribed to his channel you should!

90% - An EU team makes it out of Groups (giving FNC 75%, G2 50%, and VIT 10% --> 1-(0.25*0.5*0.9) = ~89%)

50% - exactly 1 EU team makes it out of Groups (given the odds above, it would be: only FNC 34%, only G2 ~11%, and only VIT ~1% --> ~46%)

10% - G2 does not make it to Groups (the odds for 90% also imply that G2 would have a ~56% to advance from Groups if they make it there)

Yeah these numbers are a bit high for EU, but I don't think that they are too far off, especially given that G2 would end up in Group A or C.
