#LEC
Update:
I am retiring*!
This means we are looking for a new
@LEC
Commissioner who is fully dedicated to making the LEC & its underlying ecosystem the best it can be.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of esports & all likes, tags, RTs are highly appreciated!
#LEC
Update:
Hey everyone,
I saw several false rumors regarding G2 & Carlos and wanted to clarify:
The
@LEC
has not requested Carlos to resign from G2 nor divest his ownership. We opened an investigation last week per our LEC rules, which is still ongoing.
Best,
Max
#LEC
Update:
After yesterday's annoucement I took some time today to update the numbers on the % of possible outcomes in which teams make Playoffs. You can find them attached for your convenience.
To all the
@KarmineCorp
fans who are telling me to drop a slot for KC in the
#LEC
:
Don’t you understand how this works?
You have to write !drops in the chat.
Ça alors!
Dear
#LEC
Teams,
When I said “I want you to beat NA at
#Worlds2021
” I did not mean their airport speedrun record.
Apologies for any confusion.
Best,
Max
#LEC
Update:
You may have noticed that Perkz picked Waterwalking on Ryze yesterday which is currently prohibited in pro play.
Our Competitive Operations team assessed Perkz did not gain a significant advantage via the rune.
Vitality will be fined in line with past precedent.
Catching up on the latest drama and it baffles me that some people do not grasp that making esports more inclusive & accessible makes it better for everyone.
It is less surprising though that Thorin incorrectly thinks he has or had a meaningful positive impact on our industry.
#LEC
Worlds Group Stage hopes:
@FNATIC
: Hopeful they‘ll make it out and even possible to get 1st seed if they play well.
@MADLions_EN
: Basically guaranteed to make it out, but hope they get the 1st seed as well.
@Rogue
: I just hope they have fun.
🚨ROGUE AND
@KOI
JOINING FORCES 🚨 We're ready to take the next step as an organization alongside KOI. Check out the stream on this exciting announcement:
I wanted to provide some transparency into a recent
#LEC
investigation.
League Officials looked into various recent reports and we can now officially confirm that a
@sjokz
monologue is more powerful than any caster curse.
Picture this.
@MADLions_EN
drop
@G2esports
to the lower bracket.
G2 end up fighting
@FNATIC
for the last
#LEC
Worlds slot.
It’s the final game of the series and it is incredibly close.
Suddenly Rekkles’ Tristana rocket-jumps into the entirety of FNC.
The clock stops ticking.
I honestly do not understand the
@thebausffs
drama.
Just think about what a 2x
#LEC
Champion, MSI Winner & Worlds Finalist will bring to the broadcast.
Look at how well
@Caedrel
is doing - and he has never even made Playoffs.
#LEC
Update:
There was an issue which caused Samira’s Ultimate Inferno Trigger to not get cancelled when entering the revive-state from Guardian Angel during a team-fight. Instead Samira kept channeling her ultimate without players being able to interact with her.
Hey
@G2esports
,
Given your next game against
@EvilGeniuses
at
#MSI2022
today will not have an impact on the final standings I devised a special draft for your consideration:
Top - Nasus
Jungle - Amumu
Mid - Lux
Bot - Urgot
Support - Leona
Let me know what you think!
Best,
Max
If you are into professional League of Legends & your appetite is not sated after watching all the
#LEC
matches, I can only recommend checking out the ERLs to watch the up and coming talent of the future.
This
@RekklesLoL
guy seems to have a lot of potential. Maybe in LEC soon!?
Flashy
#LEC
Update:
Due to yesterday’s bug in the
#LPL
which caused both Hexflash and the regular Flash to be unusable we will be disabling the use of the Hexflash rune for
@LEC
Week 1.
#LEC
Update:
League’s newest addition Gwen will be enabled and is expected to be a serious thread.
Viego is also expected to finally make his competitive debut next week.
Make sure to tune in next Friday at 6PM CEST for the return of the (unofficial) best League in the world.
I cannot wait for
#MSI2022
to start tomorrow!
So many reasons to tune in that I am not sure what I am most excited about:
@RNG
trying to defend their title
@T1LoL
trying to stay undefeated
@G2esports
trying to reclaim their 2019 glory
@EvilGeniuses
trying to not go 0-8
The year is 9999.
@G2esports
has won 794835 games in a row since
#MSI2022
.
@CarlosR
has built a building entirely dedicated to the team’s international event trophies.
He still calls MSI a World Championship.
And still does not give out free merch.
Hey
@MADLions_EN
,
Great job beating GENG!
Next time, please do not make it this close. I am old and my heart is weak.
Best,
Max
PS: You can stay in the
#LEC
.
#LEC
Update:
You may have noticed promisq did select the Hexflash rune and used it once within the Astralis base despite that being administratively banned.
Our League Officials informed the Player that he will not be allowed to utilize Hexflash for the entirety of the game.
I am a really good Commissioner. I never overpressure our teams - especially if they are young and inexperienced - but for the love of me I swear to the seven gods
@MADLions_EN
if you ever feed this hard ever again I am going to put you into an ERL. I am a good & fair leader.
BREAKING
I am not sure if I am allowed to post this yet, but as you know I have always been a proponent of transparency.
From what I am hearing, this off-season it is possible - even likely - that multiple players will end up on different teams than they were on this season.
Congratulations to
@G2esports
for defying all expectations at the start of the Split & winning the 2022
#LEC
Spring with an unprecedented 12-0 lower bracket run!
Looking forward to seeing them go 12-0* at MSI as well!
.
@Rogue
made it to the
#Worlds2021
Group Stage without dropping a single game, without losing a single tower and without even a single player getting killed.
Honestly an impressive performance, even for
#LEC
standards.
#LEC
Update:
Bad news:
Viego will remain disabled on Patch 11.4 for Week 6+7 of the
@LEC
.
Good news:
Last week's issue with Samira & GA which was actually caused by Azir will be hotfixed on the Tournament Realm. Thanks @ everyone who flagged this for us over the last few days!
#Worlds2022
Update:
[SPOILER]
Tomorrow by this time
@MADLions_EN
will have won more Bo5s within the last 24 hours than in the previous 400 days combined.
#LEC
Update:
Hexflash has been fixed and will be allowed to be picked again for
@LEC
Week 2.
Unfortunately though it turns out that Dr. Mundo goes where he pleases - and that he does not want to join the LEC quite yet. We’ll try our best to convince him for the upcoming weeks!
To give everyone some context on the pause protocol.
Fnatic were fully within their right to pause. The Ryze ult interaction occurs rarely (e.g. Kryze just tweeted having 500 games on the Champion and not knowing about it).
It happening twice in the same game sucks of course.
Today marks my 5-year anniversary
@riotgames
and I am excited to share I have accepted a new role as Head of Esports for League of Legends in Europe & MENA.
Looking forward to applying everything I have learned at the
#LEC
over the past years to the wider ecosystem.
#LEC
Worlds Qualification Overview:
RGE & G2 are locked.
MAD qualify if RGE win tomorrow or MAD win against S04 next Friday.
FNC qualify if they win tomorrow or if they win against S04 next Friday.
S04 qualify if they win against FNC/MAD - depending on tomorrow’s result.
#LEC
Viewership Update Serious Edition:
We just hit the milestone of 500k viewers before the third game of the day even started.
As a point of reference, our Week 1 last year peaked at 461k.
Thank you to all of you for tuning in every year and making the
@LEC
so special ♥️
#LEC
Update:
ICYMI, Ryze’s Realm Warp tries to predict whether an ally is trying to run out of it or not and will not teleport allies that are near the edge and move click outside of it.
I see a lot of people making fun of NA and I personally also like to banter quite a bit.
That being said, I want people to realize that as of this day today - unlike
#LCK
,
#LPL
&
#LEC
- the
#LCS
has been undefeated in international events Best-of-5s for exactly two years.
Don’t let the awesome audience at the
#LEC
studio and the unpredictable series today distract you from the fact that
@Rogue
will get clapped by
@G2esports
tomorrow!
What a Game 5...
If you are not watching
#LEC
Playoffs right now, drop whatever you are doing and tune in as
@FNATIC
and
@G2esports
try to secure a slot in the Finals.
It is pretty insane how much of an impact a single player can have in League of Legends.
@C9Perkz
current and previous team are both undefeated at
#Worlds2021
.
If you are a
@KarmineCorp
fan, here’s what you want to happen so KC makes
#LEC
Playoffs with only 2 wins:
1) You want to beat either TH, SK or BDS.
2) You want to win against Rogue next week.
3) RGE loses vs BDS
4) GX goes 0-3 next week
5) You win the 3-way tiebreaker
Hey
@G2esports
,
Ahead of your next game against
@T1
I wanted to inform you of an important aspect of
#MSI2022
which you may not be aware of.
Please read through the below carefully as it may impact your fate at the tournament:
"There is no lower bracket."
Best,
Max
Congratulations to
@Cloud9
for winning the
#LCS
and qualifying for MSI.
But most importantly congratulations to
@C9Perkz
who earned the opportunity to come back to Europe!
It’s that time of the year again:
I will be giving away 4x 10000 RP tomorrow.
Tell me about your favorite
#LEC
moment this year or what makes you excited for the 2021 Season.
I’ll pick the 4 winners tomorrow among all comments & re-tweets with comments (smart people do both).
My girlfriend went from “A Netflix series about volleyball? 🤨 Nah, I’m good!” to getting us tickets for the German Finals & going decked out in Haikyu!! merch in less than 3 months.
Hey
@TeamBDS
,
The LFL seems to be doing really well now that you are gone. Do I have to be concerned for the
#LEC
?
Please get back to me as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Max
Dear
#LEC
Teams... When I say that only the Top 6 Teams have a chance to make it to Worlds this year that does not mean you can all make it if you tie for 5th...
Hey
@G2esports
,
We are currently sitting at ~700k viewers for the
#LEC
Finals and have gained about 100k per Game.
Do you mind getting us to Game 5 so we can finally break the 1 Million for the
@LEC
?
Thanks in advance for your consideration!
Best,
Max
PS: Sorry
@Rogue
!
FNC kill Tristana, ace G2 and claim the last Worlds slot.
As the nexus explodes all the FNC players look over to the other side, eyes focussed on Rekkles.
“After all this time?” they whisper in unison.
Rekkles nods. “Always.”
#LEC
Update:
For
@LEC
Week 4 we are going to block the frog and will disable Tahm Kench as we consider the changes to his kit a major rework.
The new items will be available though, so can see how the players in the (unofficially) best League in the world utilize them.
@IWDominate
@LEC
Thank you for flagging!
I am honestly super sorry that this happened & that you had to experience it.
I’ll get someone on this right away to ensure it is addressed as soon as possible.
Probably a failure in judgement that you did not get a new competitive ruling in 10 years.
Congratulations to
@G2esports
for not only being the first
#LEC
team but the first team globally to qualify to
#Worlds2022
.
Their chances to win it all only go down from here.
Last year the
#LEC
&
@g2esports
lost to the World Champion 0:3. This year they lost 1:3. That obviously means next year they will be losing 2:3. But then, in the year after that, it will finally happen. In 2022, for the first time in the history of League of Legends esports:
3:3
