League ain’t dead, but league in Oce sure is :)

Try ~21k games on Xin Zhao :) legit think it’s around that, main him since season 1.

coaching is a scam

That’s like saying parents hiring tutors for their kids is a scam because every child could study the textbooks on their own, assuming they can read. As long as they invest the time they should be able to study and pick up everything from the textbook/homework and be fine.

Why that’s wrong is because a lot of children are unlikely to do that disciplined, boring work on their own. Same goes for League. Now i can i agree that streamers charging huge amoutns of money for coaching isn’t about the quality of the coaching. In those cases people are really paying because they have a parasocial relationiship and they want to interact with their “buddy”.

Ignoring streamers charging a ton of money. Personal attention feels nice and is a nice positive to balance out the boring aspect of doing the tedious, dirty work. Also for many people it’s probably easier/faster to learn from someone good than teaching themselves. Because self-learning isn’t that easy.
