A Corporate Matter, Episode 9:

Gnar "SONA!"

Sona "???"

Gnar "i have a meeting coming up with Corporate Nasus, please get me an elixir from the stand outside. Oh and by the way, the normal guy is out, so you will have to work it out with the new guy."

Sona "..."

Soraka "So, what do you have a meeting about?"

Gnar "Boring stuff, we talk about the importance of having free champions go on sale at the same time. Also, how well the self mystery gifting is working with his silly bundles."

Soraka "Just let me know if you need anything."

A few minutes later

Nasus "Alright pipsqueak, i have a date with popstar ahri, my girlfriend. So lets make this quick."

He talked in a very deep voice with an urban accent. he wore a plain old black business suit.

Gnar "Don't call me pipsqueak, and no one cares that your dating a popstar. Anyways, the sales report shows that Shyvana sales have increased by 172%. Thanks to: having her free, on sale and buffed at the same time."

Nasus "They also let us know that i was right. Putting Ravenborn Leblanc in that bundle did cause a bunch of people to try and get it in mystery skins. only to have it fail and buy the whole bundle just for that skin. Increasing our profit by 522%"

Meanwhile:

LeeSin "Welcome to Walrus Dude's Elixirs of flavor. My name is, High School Dropout Lee Sin. I am filling in for Walrus Dude, on account of the fact that he touched an Infinity Edge's edge and felt 250% more pain than a normal cut. You may know another another Lee Sin by the name of Corporate, i am not him. How may i help you today?"

Sona "Points"

LeeSin "I may need to remind you, that i am blind. But i am great at knowing where everything is, all you need to do is tell me what you want."

Sona "..." "Points"

LeeSin "Playing music is not helping anything, You may not be getting this. I no see, me blind, you need only say what you want, then me get it for you."

Sona "..."

Back at the Corporate office:

Gnar "And that is why lore is bad for the free rotation."

Nasus "Well, there is only one thing i can say to that, your an idiot pipsqueak."

Gnar "I told you not to call me that!"

Sona "..."

Gnar "Finally! What is with you and always taking forever with my elixirs." Drinks

Gnar "Hhhm, something tastes funny with this elixir, lets see now. ELIXIR OF WRATH! This isn't what i told you to get, oh no. Blarhabghaba!"

Nasus "What is going on with you pipsqueak, you having a seizure or something?"

Gnar "i-i-i t-t-told you n-n-not to ca call me that. i will show you pipsqueak."

Gnar "ROAR!!!!!!!!!"

Corporate Gnar went full mega form on that nasus, ripping his suit and tackling them both out the window into the street.

Nasus "Alright, get ready to face the, FURY OF THE SANDS." SMACK!

Soraka "I heard a big noise, what is going on sona?"

Sona "..."

Soraka "Are you sure, maybe you drunk that elixir instead?"

Gnar "I WILL RIP YOUR SKULL OFF AND THEN PUT IT IN THE FREE ROTATION!"

Soraka "Ok, so maybe you are telling the truth, how could you do this you idiot. You are so getting fired for this."

Sona "..."

Soraka "I guess you're right, it is pretty cool to have a battle of the giants with our boss."

Chogath "Did someone say battle of the giants?"

Soraka "Yeah, its odd isn't it Gentleman Cho'gath. Hey, where did you go?"

Chogath "QUIET! I AM THE BEST GIANT!"

RenektonSionShyvanaHecarim "NO! WE ARE!"

Zac "A battle of the titans, I WAS MADE FOR THIS!"

Soraka "This is getting a little crazy, hey, there goes Mad Scientist Lulu."

Lulu "WILD GROWTH POTION ON YOU ALL, HEHAHA!"

LeeSin "Wow, first day on the job and already a city wide battle, this a great! Time to break out the stash. HERE, YOU GET AN ELIXIR OF IRON, AND YOU GET AN ELIXIR, OH AND I CAN'T FORGET YOU!"

Soraka "You see what you have done Sona, i don't know how this can get any more crazy."

Somewhere up in space:

Rumble "Hmmm, my sensors tell me its time for a completely obvious Anime reference, better call the mechas."

Back down at the battle:

Rumble "SUPER GALAXY COMEBACK BREAKER!"

Aatrox "BEHOLD!"

Soraka "Gundam! he is cool."

Rumble "Don't worry little people, i will stop them, i have an army."

Soraka "They have a Gnar."

lol, the references, "I have an army" "We have a Hulk"

Jhunter3604 votes

idk about anyone else but wouldn't Zac make a better reference there?

on the account he gets bigger and greener than Gnar ?

King Dellron3 votes

While yes, Zac does look a little more like hulk, i went with Gnar because he acts more like him. Nice guy, until he gets mad in which case he turns into a giant monster that want to destroy everything. Seemed like a good fit to me.

I'm really excited to play Ahri this week. The only bad part is that I'm about as good at landing charms as a blindfolded cardboard 7 player who thinks they can flash over the fountain turret.

IzanamiL0rd2 votes

One more thing: I just noticed that Ahri is the only female champ who is free to play this week.

Why does it say that Xerath is hard to play? You just stun, q, w, and ult as they run away. Bam. Free kill

NommyPancake3 votes

If I remember correctly: Those difficulty rating are based on how likely a newbie will win the game using that specific champion.

I feel like Ahri was purely created because of a Rioter's love for Naruto.

AG Nicodemus2 votes

anyone else think Xerath's icon looks like an evil scrubbing bubble?

Aatrox Herself1 votes

I thought it looks like a weird BDSM thing.

A Chitty Biscuit1 votes

Could be one of the best rotations for newcomers. I have been playing since last fall and this rotation is very intersting. Eventhough i own a third of the champs.
