the casters and crowd went mental because silvers don’t see what is blatantly obvious, as a caster you have to cast for the audience, i can guarantee you that casters unless they are low elo trash also see plays like this as obvious as they are.
all your examples of knowledge basically scream silver, pick-bans are more or less obvious because at pro level only like max 50% of champs are viable and once you see first bans let alone picks you can easily predict what is going to happen next.
but whatever, 90% upvoted in this pp-riding thread with examples that silvers wet themselves over is hilarious how skilled reddit is.
i wish there was verification process for everyone that wants to make a thread to show what elo they represent because how can you take reddit seriously if this is 90% upvoted.
Imagine, you, average silver redditor saw a thread like: wow, immobile squishy champion in toplane with no flash , while at 20% hp and close to enemy tower, got ganked! and it worked! wow this jugler is so skilled how did he know he would kill him! And you see a thread like this 90% upvoted, with all the comments praising the jungler for his skill in prediction for that play etc.
thats how it feels to read reddit r/leagueoflegends nowadays,
f this i get brain damage looking at this silver infested swamp

Caedrel is built different. I like the level he brings in. Sometimes I prefer just riot casters, when I want just basics other times I prefer his stream/youtube, when I want to know more.

One example that came to my mind is Guma outplaying 1v2. I watched other reactions and some didn’t even compliment Guma on the play but said the champion one shot them (LS). Caedrel sees and immidiately can tell what is going on but also has the fire for the game and brings in emotions. through and through a W for us.

I’m not a fan of the exaggerated noises that Caedrel makes on stream, but I 200% respect his insight and knowledge of the game. Amongst all costreamers and analysts that I’ve watched, Caedrel’s passion and knowledge for the game is exceptional, at a tier of its own, and I’m glad to have him in the space doing his own thing since his freedom in coverage exceeds the limitations that come with working in a professional broadcast.

Seeing someone who didn’t make waves as a pro player being so knowledgeable about the game really highlights the skill gap when you are talking about the best players in the world, and it’s something I haven’t seen anyone else point out.

Generally speaking, since 90% of the playerbase is low elo and the other 9,5% mid elo, only a fraction of the playerbase understands the game well enough to understand what the skill gap is. It’s not like a master 100lp player is anywhere near close to the best players, but he has a baseline of skill to understand that he isn’t anywhere near close.

Your average emerald or d4 peaker just can’t grasp that concept, let alone people below that.

dunning kruger effect basically.

Yes…caedral is very thorough with his analysis and prolly the best teacher of lol to make you understand what is good or bad in game.

OP you’re making it sound like Caedrel was a scrub or something. He was genuinely a good player even by pro standards. He hit rank 5 in KR soloq back in the day.
