I just dont get why they would put Yamato on the analyst desk. He hardly contributes any relevant topics and when he does, does not back them up in any way. Also he consistently makes very bold incorrect predictions without giving any reason for them. What really grinds my gears is Yamato commented that Xpeke was a very weak player. Then after the game, with Xpeke showing up massive, stood by his pointm giving no respect to Xpeke's great performance.
lit ChickiN4 votesIt' because of his Russian-French accent. I can't get enough of that voice without having to rofl for a bit.
daniellizard2 votesxPeke's performance before worlds was underwhelming - solid, but underwhelming. It was fair. From one game, I'm still not convinced how he will go from here.
Not that big of a fan of Yamato, but so far he is doing OK.
If he was that bad - you know what happens when Monte highly disagrees with someone. He was mocking Deficio so hard if you remember, and he was right - back then, Deficio was super bad analyst. So yeah, Monte stays cool, so all must be kind of ok.
Ale non è male2 votesTo be honest, I don't understand why people were having doubts about xPeke performances EU mid lane scene is really strong. Not shining really bright in Eu does not mean that you are playing really bad or you are a weak player, just that your strong counterparts are performing better than you and/or their team put more resources in them than what your team do. And this despite having two of the best European mid laners playing for NA teams, otherwise it would be a real hell, something comparable to Korea more or less He was not in top shape, but wasn't crumbling ala Balls/Dyrus , and he has always been known to step up on world stage competition, so the lack of faith in him was a bit disturbing
daniellizard1 votesAs I said - he had a solid performance during summer split, but if you want to compete with the top dogs on the Worlds stage you have to step up. xPeke did so last game - we will see how it goes.
Ale non è male1 votesI would argue though, how much different is EU mid lane top dogs level from top dogs in the world, barring Faker and PawN?
daniellizard1 votesI think Febiven can compete for the top spots for sure, about xPeke not sure yet. Lets see how it goes :) So far so good :)
Ale non è male1 votesNah, what I mean was that he played solid vs the likes of Febiven, Ryu, Poe, Froggen in Eu, are these guys so much inferior to any mid laner at Worlds not called Faker and pawN so that peke should have been a liability at world stage?

Honestly, I think Febiven/Peke might be able to best Pawn, I'm a lot more doubtful of faker, but it's possible ofc. Well as long as Peke continues to play worlds level Peke, and not moderate split level Peke.
Ale non è male1 votesI said a different thing, though? Faker/pawN are surely at the top of the chain , but the mid Peke played against in Eu aren't much different level from the others mid outside top 2 at this worlds. i mean, westdoor/bjergsen/rookie is that much better than PoE or froggen? Peke was not super good, but was solid in Eu, I don't get why he should have been a liability at Worlds
Earl Eulrich2 voteswhile i really don´t like yamato as a coach (he doesn´t really understand the game all that well and is fairly biased towards his opinion) - he´s fairly entertaining on the desc so far. And to be fair - most of the times so far everyone on the desc had been wrong and everyone downtalked xpeke, not understanding that a great player not necessarily needs to consistently make flashy plays if his team is winning the game anyway (also disregarding that despite the otherwise sub-par statistics they came up with he still had been among the top-mids this season as far as dmg to champs had been conisdered)...
though i really would have prefered to have Froskurin on the desc, so all major regions are represented.
TurquoiseYoshi2 votesYou have MonteCristo, who is borderline racist to everyone except his Koreans, and you're complaining about Yamato? Really?
Death by Glamour1 votesTo be the polar opposite of bitchy but funny montecristo, he has been pretty vicious at times
Sasogwa1 votesKreygasm voice of course. This is a sufficient argument, no matter what bullshit he says.
Siyther1 voteshe is on the desk cause he looks like Lupin the 3rd lol
