Riot·6/7/2015, 1:05:46 AM·0 votes·20,658 views
Counter Logic Gaming's Zaqueri "Aphromoo" Black is at the NA LCS to win games, but that's definitely not all this dominating support player does each weekend. Here's a glimpse into what life is like for the NA LCS pro both before and after his battle on the Rift. Today CLG didn't play until a bit later in the afternoon, so after arriving and meeting with fans, Aphro heads to CLG's player room to practice and play a scrim before his big match against Team 8. After the scrim's over and the guys are feeling warmed up, it's time to head to the stage! As they wait for another team's match to finish up, CLG discuss a few last minute strategies. With only a few minutes until CLG's game starts, Aphro walks on to the stage... ...and sets up his gear. Finally, it's time to play! All the prep was worth! Aphromoo and CLG celebrate their victory and 3-0 Summer Split record. But the day's not over yet. Now Aphro gets to hang out with all of his awesome fans outside the studio. And sign a few autographs. Before heading back inside to do some interviews about the big game. It was a long day for the support and his squad, but a good one too. Now it's time to head home and prepare to do it all again tomorrow! Catch up on the full Counter Logic Gaming vs. Team 8 match on our spoiler-free VODs page and tune in to Lolesports tomorrow to see CLG take on their rivals, Team SoloMid.

I was really excited to read all about Aphromoo's daily life in the LCS compared to other players, but this article just states what every LCS player does with pictures of Aphromoo throughout. Really disappointing in my opinion. :/

I feel like this should be made into a children's picture book.

Honestly, if I was Aphro, I would probably even be a little offended.

TL;DR: In a day at the LCS, (Insert LCS Player here) practices, wins, and meets with fans!

It felt like the target audience was for kids under the age of 8.

If this article was written by a random intern, or as a part of a social outreach program to grade school students, it'd make sense. If RIOT actually paid someone with a degree in journalism for this... Then I guess I know why they need our money so much.

Time to go apply to write for Riot, since it looks like anyone can do it.

This should be a child's book, reminded me of No David in how it was presented.
