Apologies for the delays on Deft vs Faker Part 4 + 5. Bought a house and moved recently which kept me super busy. Once DvF is finally complete though I'm excited to get back to frequent vids again. The goal will be making at least weekly stuff like in the good old days :)

Arcane is honestly one of the most impressive things Riot has ever done. Plenty of game companies have made great games over the years. Exactly zero of them have been able to make good movie/series adaptations based on their games. Arcane is a massive achievement.

Some LoL Trivia: When Knight first started playing league he originally wanted to go by "Night." That name was already taken so he randomly added a K to the start of it, thinking he'd go by "K-Night" He didn't realize "Knight" is another word in English with the same sound.

The phrase "one bad apple" comes from the saying "one bad apple will spoil the bunch" Meaning even if you only have "one bad apple" it will ruin everything around it including any "good apples" The defense that theres only a "few bad apple cops" is hilariously ironic.

I really think for Esports to become a profitable business, fans need to start paying to watch games through *some* venue. Personally, I love to watch the NFL/MLB/CFB So I pay for a YouTube TV subscription, MLBTV, and NFL RedZone. It's weirdly worrying how free Esports are.

The only defense for removing the import rule I can think of is it would kill any chance of native NA players ever having professional league of legends careers again. And there's nothing more American than systematically exterminating native populations.
