Seeing as emenes is retiring, he basically dropped a donezo manifesto of his own on a korean forum before peacing out to his conscription.
Short summary
-
Fudge and blaber dont practise
-
Even accounting for the bad soloq environment, NA doesnt practise enough (dont analyze replays of other regions or analyze soloqs from other regions)
Still, Fudge at least helped the team function by taking the brunt of one of the player’s selfishness
4. Ls not human (not sure what this means)
5. Western league sucks
6. Best NA talent: Berserker, Inspired, Jojopyun
7. Best worth ethic: Jojopyun, Yeon, Contractz, academy players and the players on excel when i was there
8. patrik used to call excel a prison but still stayed there for some reason
- Zven is a hard worker, fought with him a lot and wouldn’t want to play with him again but i wish him success
Perkz spoke highly of blaber BTW
Meanwhile this Emenes guy
Sadly, I can definitely see where he’s coming from when he talks about European attitude to Korean imports. From what I’ve gathered it does seem like they’re treated worse than they are in NA
Kind of scared for Jojo now then if C9’s practice really is that bad
We need more donezo manifestos.
Interesting to read that Blaber doesn’t practice. It’s disheartening to read that someone who is in the race for NA GOAT doesn’t care enough to practice. How does he intend to ever win Worlds? Contractz had a far better showing than him.
minor translation corrections / clarification:
-
Zven’s work ethic is top-notch – we fought like rabid dogs and dislike playing with him but I genuinely wish him the best
-
I’m running off to military, come at me if you think you can
-
LS [hadn’t fully matured into a proper human being]
-
Witnessed too much bad Western LoL playing
-
it is indeed true Impact + CoreJJ definitely worked their ass off
-
Of all the coaches I thought was good was Rigby
-
The reason LS was cut: (this part might be metaphoric, i have no fuckin idea wtf he’s on about) : Our puppy requested the janitor-puppy (or cleaning-puppy) to clean up, then the puppy just lay there watching [janitor puppy] cleaning up the mess. Once the janitor puppy cleaned up everything, [the puppy] just went back inside
