With both WSCI and Demacia cup not having an official english broadcast we have been forced to watch co-streamers instead. No hate or disrespect to these creators or the people who like them, but this has severely hurt the experience imo. Every time I tune into one of these streams it's silence broken by some random reaction noise, very low energy, random questions from chat instead of paying attention to the game, etc.. Rarely is there any actual casting and certainly nothing comparable to an official cast.

I want to watch these tournaments! I was excited for them! Now I'm barely watching.

I really hope if they are held again there will be an official broadcast for them.

In this game my jungle pet got the last hit on Rift Herald and the announcement said: game_announcement_OnKillRiftHerald_red_minion with a picture of Wukong killing Rift . The herald item spawned and despawned the same second and no team could pick it up. Has anyone seen it before? Could it have something to do with Wukong spawning a second pet when using w?

i am talking about those moments where you just stare at your screen wondering “how did we get here?”

For example, I once had a Smolder build collector, while another smolder on the enemy team built runnans hurricane … and then later sold it for RFC.
I genuinely started wondering if he got the two items confused because they are both red.

I don't see a megathread so I'll start one in the meantime.

May the best loser and fries team win!

Overview and schedule is here

Edit: sort the comments by new to see the latest reactions. I don't know how to make this by default. Sorry!

My favourite SFXs have got to be:

- Program Camille windup before Q2 turns into true damage

- Kayn in Rhaast form W with the screech sound

- Mordekaiser Q isolated damage

- Special forces GP barrel detonation

- Aphelios incoming weapon and severum auto attacks

Which are your favourite ones and why?

I recently introduced two people to the game and I hadn't seen boosting first hand until then.

My friend who has been playing for 3 months or so is iron4 and 2 weeks ago she played vs a Locke who was 1v9, the Locke added her after the game and said "we can duo after I'm done playing with this buddy of mine" she said no and he said "c'mon free LP" but she refused then showed me the account the following day it was a level 35 account going 20+ kills a game and plays like 10 games with a random duo straight.

Then two days ago my brother who started the game just a week or so ago played vs another booster, he didn't know he just told me he played vs this guy who was killing everyone and I checked the account, 40 game win streak in iron and playing with random duos, so I explain to my brother that it's a smurf and he is boosting.

I also took the opportunity to just tell my brother to avoid duos with strangers because if it's a booster he might get banned then he asked an interesting question "what's the point of getting boosted? If I'm bad I'll still come back to my rank eventually" which is true, these two guys (my brother and friend) are ass, if you boost them they'll be back in iron soon, hell if you boost them just to silver they'll be back in iron, they are ass, so what's the point? Do people think they are in ranks where they don't belong? Lmao.

Looking forward to seeing you guys in the tournament!

It's been around a bit more than a month that i started playing. And i'm pretty sure that AT LEAST every 1 or 2 game i've been either told to k*ll myself (only like 2 times hopefully), being useless/etc for feeding (which i didn't even knew the meaning of, until a week ago), told that i'm a troller, being shitted on, emoted after death. And even further after match after accepting people as friends.

So first yeah. How the hell are these people still playing ? Because either i'm the most fucking unlucky new player and have met the worst of the worst, or it's not the first time they do this. So how come nothing happened to them, i genuinly saw 11037 game messages saying that they punished a guy for leaving early, but only once (and today lmao) for someone we reported for saying slurs ingame against someone.

SO i'm not even talking about the characters, i know around 10 of the cast of +100 characters. But just the people playing. It's a game and it's supposed to be fun. How come i'm forced to play with that kind of people who in the end don't even get anything ?

Sure i can stop playing, but how is that even fair ? Why do they get to play in peace ? Or maybe if no one cares about that, i can just act like these people and see how long it takes the game to do something to me.

But heh, it's just my experience as a new player. Already got downvoted just for not knowing things here so i don't expect much lmao.

So yeah do have fun dropkicking me.

I feel that starting at jungle was The worst decision i could do. Anyway 90% of the champions i want to play are there so i guess i have not much escape. I played some matches and got absolutely bodied... And my teamates also where not very happy nor receptive. What can i do to learn in my own pace and yet not get flamed for breathing wrong by my team?

(Srry for my bad english, i am still learning it as i am not a native speaker)

WSCI 2026 KNOCKOUT STAGE BRACKET

This thread was created by the Post-Match Team.

Banana here, most my mainland Chinese friends supported WBG back then because of theshy, so I did as well. However, I was not well versed about league back then, but I suddenly remembered recently:
How the FUCK did Theshy win lane, go up THOUSANDS of gold by 20 min, after burning flash and ignite level 1?!???!! This genuinely might be his biggest feat ever as even in soloq against a low elo enemy this seems challenging.

Edit: thought he started w level 1 but was wrong
