Yeah I'm aware of that lol and assumed that was the case to a certain extent. What confused me is how the LEC has had casters/crew in studio for a while, even before vaccines were super available, but they're hesitant to re-introduce players?

Hiya! Currently in the studio we follow strict COVID-19 protocols, which includes significantly spacing out our crew's working spaces and locations, and isolating different groups of the studio from each other.

Without getting too far into detail, while our testing and safety procedures have allowed us to return into studio, we do not have enough physical space to handle the flow of 100 additional people in the studio safely (10 teams x 10 people per team + additional catering staff and crew needed to support all of them!).

It's notable that for playoffs, when only 2 teams are in the studio per day, we were able to have teams return to play on the studio because we were able to manage the smaller number of people.

The safety of the players and our crew is our top priority!

I teared up a little when I saw this. Seeing Jinx and Vi animated in something like this after 8 years is really something. Loved every second of it.

So glad to hear this coming from someone in the scene. I feel like Solo is one of the most criminally underrated players to ever play in the LCS.

Hey for a while that was Santorin and people eventually caught on there.

Over the time, I think I understood the following: Riot wants something the way they want.

If Riot wants x champion to be played in x role, Riot will nerf the champ in its current role (that's supposedly not the role it "was supposed" to be in) in order to make it play the role they want. Qiyana JG for example; they wanted her mid, so they made her bad jungle.

Riot didn't want Sanguine Blade to be a duelist item. Riot wanted it to be a splitpushing item.

That's why Riot decided they will remove it to add the item they want (that fulfill the sole purpose of splitpushing). Sanguine simply isn't what they wanted.

Not entirely wrong, though I think the phrasing here leaves some things that can be misconstrued. When we design things we always have a specific goal in mind. I can't speak specifically to Sanguine/Hullbreaker, but for example when we make a champion we have a goal lane that we want them to be good in, and maybe another lane that we are ok with them also being good in. We actively want that specific champion to be good somewhere, so it makes sense for us to make changes to make them better in that role (and sometimes, worse in other roles). We can make the same correlation for items. For example its pretty clear we want Luden's to be a mage item, so if it was good on Tanks (somehow) it would make sense for us to make changes to make it either worse on tanks, or better on mages to try to reach those goals. Things get much more complicated when you really dive into the nitty-gritty, but that is a very simplified explanation.

Maybe not the best player. He is more like glue, he keeps the teams together, after he joins there is much better teamwork.

While he was a clown at worlds, in LCS, he is average enough to get a spot in a bottom tier team

He is above academy level imo

He's above that.

He turned a floundering FlyQuest into back-to-back finalists and a trip to Worlds. He's been perennially top 5 top laners in the LCS since the Clutch Gaming days.
