LEC RETROSPECTIVE: KOI

Ahhh, I should be hated for saying I don't care for KOI, and I don't think they should get to worlds.

So! KOI are technically a new org, but quickly accrued one of the largest fanbases in esports by being founded by famous and popular Spanish content creator and e-celebrity Ibai, and being part owned by footballer Gerard Piqué. Previously however, they were known as Rogue, probably one of the less popular teams in the LEC.

Being a team accepted during franchising, they didn't come in with the greatest advantage. They didn't have a regional fanbase like MAD Lions, they didn't have a huge pre-established presence in LEC history like Origen or SK, only being present in Rainbow 6 Siege and their parent company also owning a COD League team. The 2 esports you DEFINITELY invest in for huge fanbases. But they quickly established a presence in LEC by being so perfectly average, and then by being so perfectly average that they began succeeding.

Entering in 2019, they were a middle of the pack team with some insane talent, like Inspired and Larssen, plus Woolite and Vander in the botlane. That roster didn't pan out the best, and after Hans sama joined in 2020, they had a middling spring followed by coming 1st in regular season summer, and making it to worlds, then they shit the bed and went 1-5 :p. Well 2021 went a hell of a lot better, adding Odoamne and new rookie Trymbi, coming 2nd in spring, and 3rd in summer playoffs, making worlds and being drawn into the Group of Death, and managing to make FPX blow the fuck up. 2022 replaced Hans sama with Comp, an oft maligned player resigned to C tier rosters like Vitality's 2019-2021 disaster rosters, and their MVP jungler Inspired with Malrang, a korean player who was known for his time on goddamn Jin Air (rip sadplane). They then proceeded to get 2nd in playoffs in Spring, and 1st in Summer. As you do. Being the only western team to make it out of groups, they immediately got drawn vs JDG, and lost pretty handily with some weird niche picks that absolutely did not pan out (Trymbi Nasus Support, in a bad matchup for it, anyone?) 2023 began with Odo being replaced in toplane with Szygenda, a player similarly maligned by vitality's disaster rosters and the rebranding to KOI, after a merger with Rogue's team, inheriting Rogue's entire infrastructure in the league. Now that's how you get into the league in a big way and establish yourself quickly. And as the previous champions, giving Odo and Larssen their first LEC titles, there were fairly big expectations put on this team. Sure, Szygenda was basically kinda a rookie at this point still, not having played a full year on Vitality before being benched then brought back in 2021, but his performances in the LFL were impressive nonetheless, often being called TheShygenda for his insane performances on Gwen and Gnar.

Winter began as it usually does, weirdly. KOI take a game off of BDS, with a double ADC botlane, off Excel with their tried and true Kalista/Soraka, and losing a game to a Fnatic who hadn't boomed completely yet with a very ill advised Jhin pick. But, a 2-1 start isn't exactly awful. However, KOI showed some of the problems that Rogue would show back in 2022 Spring, and 2021. Namely, the phenomenon known as Rogue Time. Where at around 16-20 minutes, the whole team mental booms and completely forgets how to play league of legends well, and the midgame completely collapses undoing the earlygame advantages they accrued usually. It got memed heavily by Korean fans, and slowly spread, but it was an actual thing that would happen. Rogue mid-game was absolute abysmal, only in 2022 Summer did they overcome it, and in Winter 2023, it came back in a big way.

Week 2 didn't go that well. A loss to a fumbling Heretics, and Ruby's 2nd good game for the year, a loss to MAD's double ADC comp, and a loss to SK with another, ill advised ADC pick. God, what was going on? Odo wasn't the biggest shotcaller, but they were a lot better than this in Summer? Well one thing was Trymbi didn't look the best, basically ever since he picked Nasus at Worlds and he went on a bit of a tirade on Twitter against the people saying it was a troll pick. Basically he stopped playing to his usual standard afterwards, sadly. These problems continued into week 3. They hadn't locked playoffs yet, and were sitting at the bottom of the table with an underwhelming Astralis, a slumping Fnatic, and a dead in the water Excel. A win over Vitality started their week, which I believe locked them at least a tiebreaker, a loss to G2, and a win over Astralis locked themselves into playoffs, with a poor bot showing in all 3 games. Yeah, KOI didn't look the best. Nothing they won was convincing, and their losses looked lifeless. I don't know, the whole project wasn't going the best so far. Groups wasn't gonna be easy, their first series was a surging SK, who were looking like dark horses for the entire split.

Well, against all odds, KOI actually got a 2-0 over SK, with a good Larssen performance and a renewed Malrang on Sejuani doing Malrang things. Next opponent, Vitality. Ah shit, this is the superteam who got 1st in Winter, KOI have been relying almost entirely on clutch Larssen performances. Well again, against most odds, Larssen pulled out another set of carry performances, with Comp making sure his Sivir his noticed again for its insane carry potential, beating vitality in a quick 2-0. KOI made playoffs! Without demonstrating as much Rogue Time! Let's goooo!

Rogue were always better in Bo1s, but now as KOI they appear to have reversed this? Wonder if their Bo5 performances are gonna be as strong. First up was a series VS the other team who went 2-0 in Groups, G2. A carry performance from Hans sama's Miss Fortune, and a surprise Bel'Veth from Yike took game 1 and 2 respectively. KOI got put on their last legs, and Game 3 came back to a Comp performance. Man got a pentakill! Demolishing G2 inside their base, they got a food back in the series, and it came down to Game 4, it's still doable. Rogue have been reverse swept before, and they can do it to their enemies just as easily. KOI should be able to as well.

Nope nope a disaster in the botlane let Hans sama carry the entirety of G2 vs a Varus/Kalista botlane from Comp and Trymbi, being utterly destroyed. But, but, unlike others so far, KOI got a 2-0 in Groups, so they get a second chance to qualify to finals, and then a potential rematch vs G2. All they need to do is beat their old rivals, the MAD Lions. The team that dominated 2021, and when they slumped in 2022, Rogue took over and won Summer. Their rivalry has been building since 2020, when they took the regular season over G2 and fought each other for the top spots to go to worlds.

And that series went ok! A dominant Larssen Tristana, and a signature Kalista from Comp won Game 1, but that quickly faded. Game 2 featured a fairly weak botlane and the Nisqy Gragas that teams refused to ban, Game 3 had the New Hyli Special, Rell, and Game 4 had the Nisqy Gragas. That's the season. Y'know what, considering they made 3rd overall this season, that's not the worst but it's a step down. They did replace their weakside king Odoamne, so maybe the team needs more time to gel. Their botlane also looked shockingly weak after it was fair to call Comp/Trymbi a top 5 at best botlane at Worlds last year, which was tragic. Trymbi really hadn't been playing well, and Comp looked a lot less confident in lane and in teamfights, probably because his support wasn't doing as well at all.

But, nonetheless, not winning the split is a disappointment. Going into Spring, they were in a good position. Top 3 means that they have a good chance to make MSI if G2 win another split in dominant fashion, as long as they outplace MAD Lions. No changes going into Spring, but Week 1 wasn't exactly a glowing highlight. A loss to Astralis, who were looking pretty good. Day 2, a win over Heretics after some insane fumbles from Ruby, but it's an awful look for KOI, that they could only win through a phonemally awful throw and a botched baron call, and the fact that the game was that close vs a heretics that looked like well... Garbage they looked like shit.

Day 3, a rematch from Winter, MAD vs KOI, a snoozer with few kills and a generally unimpressive game from both sides. Well, Week 1 ending on 1 win. That's really bad. You made playoffs last split guys... Sadly, Week 2's looking a lot harder. G2, the Winter Champions, SK who blew past all expectations and Fnatic, who despite dropping out in the regular season, came back with a new top laner, new support, and went 0-3 first week...

Defying the odds, winning against G2 thanks to a strong Szygenda, a win over SK thanks to Comp and Larssen, and then a... loss to Fnatic... To be fair, Razork took a facilitator in Vi and made it look like a hypercarry, punishing the botlane of KOI super super hard, playing really really not well, failing to execute a pick comp and failing their teamfights really badly despite having goddamn Taric.

Week 3, KOI have basically locked Groups. MAD, Fnatic, Excel and Heretics all being 2-4, while KOI sit on 3-3 means they're safer going forward, almost guaranteed a tiebreaker at the very worst. And hey, they're facing Excel, who just subbed in a new midlaner in Abbedagge (god this news made me kinda mad, but i digress), plus BDS, who practically ran the regular season and Vitality who definitely looked weaker compared to Winter, but were still no slouch, especially with a strongside bot laner like Upset.

Well a win over Excel who showed most of the same problems, especially with closing out games, then 2 losses meant that KOI barely scraped into Groups. 7th place. Not great. You only beat the half starved MAD Lions and Heretics thanks to that one extra win. 4-5 isn't something to be happy about at all, and considering Rogue were often considered Bo1 Merchants, never showing up as strongly in their Bo5s, this is a really bad look. Groups is looking grim, especially considering they're facing G2 next.

And that series saw an incredibly rare Pantheon pick twice in toplane, piloted by BrokenBlade, which kinda stomped the lane vs Szygenda, plus another hypercarry performance from Yike in Game 1 left KOI on the back foot. A disastrous Leona performance from Trymbi as well felt phenomally bad. But, KOI didn't discourage. Next game, they came in and nabbed a Jayce for Szygenda, after some of his insanely good Jayce play in regular season, and a rare Malrang Lee Sin that actually worked out, but a quiet game from botlane, despite a Zeri/Lulu lane. Game 3 was desperation. Mikyx picked a Jarvan Support, and played it like garrrrrbage as Comp proved exactly why they never can give him Sivir, carrying the game incredibly hard, with a weak Szygenda Kennen and a shock Larssen Akali showing KOI at some of their individual peaks again.

A win over the Winter Champions puts you in a damn good position, after a rough as hell regular season. But still, Malrang felt coinflippy after so many junglers figured out his insanity, Trymbi looked incredibly weak despite being alongside Comp who was capable of solocarrying, and Larssen was either passive and willing to scale until late, or fully willing to put the game on his back and carry everything through to a win, with no in between. Facing BDS next, who uhhh... Managed to completely figure out and lock down the meta.

And KOI as serial meta players... Yeah prayers weren't gonna do anything they got booty blasted in a 2-0. Adam counter picking Kennen with an Aery Jarvan, Sheo putting on an absolute clinic on Vi, and in Game 2, Crownie dominating the laning phase and Nuc getting an insane game on Cassio left KOI reeling going into their next series, this time for their groups lives, another series vs G2.

Now it's fair to say that for most of the season, G2 had been experimenting on new odd picks, since they had a stamped ticket to MSI already, but they obviously had some ambitions still. But, now that they had their entire season at risk, G2 stopped fucking around. Game 1 saw a unique Cho'Gath pick into Kennen, which almost worked until Larssen scaling paid off and he took over the game on Viktor. Game 2 saw a pair of insane ridiculous drafts. The Bel'Veth/Sejuani Jungle/Mid respectively, which demonstrated some insanely high potential, vs an AP Varus Mid from Larssen, which ended up horribly. MVP Performances from Yike, Caps and BrokenBlade vs a really bad game for Comp/Trymbi, again, led into a game point game 3. Larssen Ahri, Comp Sivir, and Trymbi Lulu. This is as close as you'll get to the max comfort draft for KOI, and they shitted it. Hans sama completely ran over Trymbi and transferred that lead everywhere across the map, going deathless and basically solo carrying the game, leading to a KOI loss. Out at 6th, before playoffs. A major disappointment, and everyone on the team felt it. Something had to change.

Summer came along, and a few rumours flew around. One of the biggest rumours was Rekkles roleswapping to support for the future, which meant no Fnatic botlaner, since they weren't gonna keep him on as a support. So a trade was proposed. Fnatic buy Trymbi, a talent grown on Rogue, winning a title with them, and a weakspot all year for KOI, in exchange, KOI get Advienne, excitable, mature Advienne who, to be frank, hadn't gotten the best chances in LEC. A small stint on Excel before being replaced by Mikyx, followed by a benched season and a re-run in the ERLs, then joining Fnatic after a fairly weak season from Rhuckz. Advienne came into a bit of a bad situation, having to follow someone who was world class like Trymbi, even if 2023 was fairly weak so far.

And so, Summer began, with a sole change of the support, Advienne instead of Trymbi. Was this gonna fix the team? Fuck no, you can say a lot of things about Trymbi, bad and good but he's a loud player who calls a lot of shots, something that KOI definitely needed more of. Advienne wasn't that guy, at all.

And wouldn't you believe it, the same shit happened again. 1-2 Week 1, 1-2 Week 2, 2-1 Week 3 barely scraping into Groups. What's the point. But i'm getting ahead of myself. A win over Excel, who most expected to still go absolute dead last in LEC for the 3rd time, so not much to write home about. A loss to BDS who came 2nd in Playoffs and a fairly bad Aphelios game from Comp, followed by a loss to MAD Lions which was honestly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Rogue Time kicked in harder than ever and everyone comitted completely to protecting the president, meaning Carzzy went completely untouched, 1-2 week.

Goddamn it guys. Week 2, a loss to an incredibly strong Fnatic following a disaster game from Comp, a win over Heretics with a very strong Larssen Tristana, and a loss to SK capped off the week, another 1-2 week and a really really bad look heading towards groups. Week 3 started vs Vitality, a free win with a good Statikk Shiv Leblanc from Larssen, a loss to Yike's Kha'Zix for game 2 of the week and the game that would basically decide their groups chances: vs Astralis, who had been floundering in the lead up. And then Comp showed up again, after being basically absent the whole season. Hand delivering Sivir boomerangs to the entirety of Astralis, carrying KOI through to groups, looking phenomally weak and like easy prey. As written yesterday, Astralis then had to hope that SK lose to Fnatic, to keep groups, and their chances for worlds alive, but that all went out the window, after SK pulled a miracle out of nowhere and beat Fnatic.

KOI is the first team i'm writing about that actually is in Group stage, meaning I can do some meaty speculation about them heading into groups, rather than end it with a limp "hope they stick together" again. Truly, KOI look dead. After a strong Winter, an underwhelming Spring and a dead in the water summer they rightly should've lost for some of their abysmal performances and the hard return of Rogue Time, it's unlikely anyone will bet on KOI heading into the group stage. Considering their first opponent is a pissed off G2 looking stronger than ever and looking to secure their place in Season Finals even harder than before, KOI should definitely count themselves lucky that their vacations might start sooner than later. They're also one of the teams fortunate enough to have good championship points, meaning they might eak into Season Finals regardless, if Heretics and Fnatic completely bomb out, which is unlikely at this point.

Whatever does happen, I'll be there watching. Larssen has become one of my favourite players in the past couple years, and of all the "next generation" mid laners, he, humanoid and Vetheo are the ones i've got the most faith in, by far. Comp as well deserves a good roster, just a shame it might only come next year.

Anyways, be back tomorrow for the next team...

MAD LIONS (oh god i hate them)

Day 39

KOI - La vague scélérate espagnole

Préambule

            Quand on pense à une rivalité, on a tendance à penser à Fnatic et G2. Les deux structures se battent l’une contre l’autre depuis plus de sept ans et les communautés s’insultent entre-elles, cherchant à défendre bec et ongle leur équipe de cœur. Cette rivalité s’est basée sur la bataille du trône européen, la dynastie Fnatic renversée par les antagonistes samouraïs de G2. Et depuis, une bataille sans merci se livre. Mais il a fallu plus une histoire de douze années pour mettre en place cette guerre inter-structure. Un historique justifie la hype autour des affrontements entre les deux équipes. Mais depuis peu, et avec l’émergence de structure comme Mad Lions ou Rogue, cette rivalité semble faire date, prenant la poussière quand le niveau de l’Europe a généralement augmenté. Alors, quand on prend leur exemple, on serait en droit de se demander si un jour on aura droit à une telle rivalité sur la Faille. Et la question trouvera vite une réponse quand, en 2022, Ibai donne naissance à une structure rivale à la Karmine Corp. Et ainsi, Koi voit le jour.

Introduction

            Koi est une structure qui a été créée en fin d’année 2021. Elle a été fondée par Ibai, le premier streamer Espagnol et l’un des plus populaires au monde, ainsi que par Girard Piqué, joueur de foot pour le FC Barcelone. Basée en LVP, la jeune structure a la volonté de faire partie des meilleurs, ce qui explique pourquoi l’équipe a fait un showmatch contre la Karmine Corp afin, d’une part, créer une rivalité entre les deux structures, qui sont relativement semblables, et d’autre part, de surfer sur la guerre livrée entre l’Espagne et la France sur les divers jeux-vidéos. On peut penser aux différents événements qui ont eu lieu sur Minecraft, qui voyaient les deux nations se faire face, ou encore, plus récemment, à la guerre des pixels qui s’est mené sur le r/place. Quand bien même la structure est née sur LoL, elle s’est aussi développée sur Valorant avec un ensemble de joueur compétitif. Mais on est là pour parler de League of Legends, alors attardons nous sur le parcours de Koi en LVP.

            Donc, à l’instar de la Karmine, Koi joue au départ dans la ligue espagnole, avec un alignement de joueurs prometteurs. On compte dans leur rang depuis la création de la structure des joueurs expérimentés comme Hatrixx, Xico, SLT ou encore Raffita. Ils parviennent à se qualifier aux playoffs durant les deux segments. Malheureusement, ils ne réussissent jamais à transformer l’essaie pour se hisser au plus haut niveau de la division 2 européennes, à savoir les European Masters. On est loin des promesses de départ, encore plus du niveau que la Karmine Corp a proposé depuis deux ans déjà. Quand on connait les ambitions d’Ibai, on est en droit de se questionner. Mais un miracle s’est produit, pour le plus grand bonheur des Espagnoles et pour le plus grand malheur des Français.

            Le 20 Août 2022, la nouvelle a été divulguée comme quoi Rogue jouera sous les couleurs de la structure espagnole Koi. En effet, si Rogue disparait pour profiter de la notoriété de Koi, la structure américaine sera néanmoins toujours présente sur le plan sportif. L’équipe et ce qui l’entoure subsistera, elle jouera simplement pour les couleurs violettes d’Ibai, ce dernier s’occupant de mettre en avant et de livrer sa base de fan pour ces équipes. Par ailleurs, ce n’est pas seulement pour la LEC que Rogue est rebrand en Koi. C’est également le cas sur Rainbow 6 ainsi que sur Rocket League.

            On est en droit de douter de la légitimé de la montée de Koi en LEC quand on sait que la Karmine Corp est couronnée de succès. Triple championne des EUM, la bande à Kameto n’est toujours pas montée en LEC, malgré leurs nombreuses victoires sur la Faille. Alors, quand on voit qu’une structure comme Koi, qui n’a jamais gagné quoi que ce soit, parvient à se hisser au plus haut niveau européen, il y a de quoi grincer des dents pour les ultras KC. Mais, avec ce rebrand, Koi fait fit du passé, passant d’une équipe forte en Espagne à l’un des favoris de la compétition européenne.

Mercato

            Koi garde donc la même équipe championne d’Europe, à l’exception près de la toplane qui change de joueur. En effet, la structure espagnole a choisi de troquer l’expérience d’Odoamne pour la jeunesse et le talent individuel de Szygenda. Ainsi, l’équipe conserve la même ossature, toute jeune victorieuse d’un titre de LEC.

Analyse

            D’un point de vue positif, Malrang, jungler coréen, est le carry de cette équipe. Avec les changements apportés sur ce poste, même si la possibilité d’invade est réduite, il a la capacité de mener à la baguette ses adversaires. Ensuite, la synergie en botlane entre Trymbi et Comp fait toujours aussi peur. Avec leur champion pool surprenant, leur maitrise et leur dominance en lane, les autres botlanes ont des craintes à nourrir. Enfin, en remplaçant Odoamne par Szygenda, il remplace un toplaner qui subit sa phase de lane par un toplaner qui fait subir une phase de lane. Ainsi, la toplane sera d’autant plus agressive et Koi aura la possibilité de jouer au travers de cette voie.

            D’un point de vue négatif, en conservant Larssen, la structure espagnole conserve un joueur avec un champion pool pauvre. Aussi, elle perd un joueur sur la voie du haut qui était capable de jouer des tanks, là où Szygenda est connu pour ses bruisers et ses carry. Enfin, même si cela est moindre, recruter un rookie reste un pari à prendre qui peut s’avérer risquer si la sauce ne prend pas.

KOI Szygenda – Le monstre de la toplane

            En termes de champion pool, Szygenda est connu pour sa maitrise des bruisers, au détriment d’une carence en tank. C’est une crainte qu’on peut avoir aux vues de la méta. Mais avec les premiers échos de la Chine, la méta ne semble pas avoir tant changé que ça, les bruisers étant toujours jouables. Reste à savoir s’il sera capable de jouer K’Santé qui envahit la voie du haut de par sa capacité à tanker les dégâts et à en faire subir. Aussi, pourra-t-il nous surprendre à nouveau avec sa Gwen fétiche ?

            S’il y a une chose claire dans son style de jeu, c’est bien son agressivité. Et ce style-là, bien que risqué à haut niveau, est payant puisque dans 81,7% des cas, il est devant au CS, accentuant un différentiel de CS de 18,9. Et ce qui est encore plus impressionnant, c’est le nombre de solokill qu’il a pris : 55. Est-ce que c’est bon pour vous ? Maintenant, il a réussi cet exploit en LFL et en EUM, qui restent des compétitions au niveau moindre. Sera-t-il puni en LEC ? C’est toute la question qui se pose autour de ce choix de toplaner. Et pour montrer un peu de quoi il est capable, rien de tel qu’un clip :

            Si vous n’êtes toujours pas convaincu, voici une petite kyrielle de statistiques. Szygenda, c’est :

605 damages par minutes

Une participation aux kills de 54,6%

Un KDA de 4,6

Une participation au « premier sang » de 25,8%

8,8 CS par minutes

Maintenant, Szygenda n’est pas à son premier essai en LEC. Il a été présent lors du naufrage Vitality. Après, il a pris de la maturité et se trouve dans un écosystème différent. Et c’est avec une certaine curiosité qu’on se tarde de voir ce dont il est capable en LEC.

Conclusion

            Quand bien même la structure change de nom, Koi reste l’équipe tenante du titre. Et elle compte bien ne pas le concéder, surtout quand on sait qu’il y a toute l’Espagne qui sera désormais derrière cette équipe. Maintenant, est-ce que cela va suffire à raviver la hype de la compétition européenne, ou est-ce la LEC sera souffrante du manque de la Karmine Corp parmi ses équipes ?  D’un point de vue compétitif, l’équipe est capable de jouer sur tous les plans. Comme l’an passé, Koi sera mené par Malrang qui sera chirurgical dans son jeu. La botlane sera toujours présente pour assurer le scalling et Larssen s’affairera à tenir la midlane le temps que son jungle vienne sur sa voie pour débloquer son jeu. En toplane, le pari sur Szygenda est prometteur, quand bien même il pourrait souffrir de la comparaison avec ses adversaires.

Place attendue : dans le top 3.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C'est tout pour KOI ! Alors, qu'en pensez-vous ? Est-ce que vous allez cheer pour cette équipe ? Dans tous les cas, j'ai hâte de les voir jouer et je me demande ce que va donner Szygenda :) Sur ce, bonne soirée/journée et on se retrouve très vite !

So about that story comp huh…..

So this is the only pretty good enough art for when Echo competes…..

Okay uhhhh backstory time :D

—————

Echo was raised by Draxum (he’s her blood father btw) and was trained to be a general for his war against humans.

When Echo was about 12-13ish she was given to Big Mama to help her with.... War stuff (I would get into it but I fear that would make this too long).

Ofc, Big Mama twisted the deal at the last second so she had Echo as her champion/assistant. Draxum could only communicate with Echo by sending her handmade battle outfit that needed constant replacement. Cuz... Y'know.

During Echo's time as champion, she made a friend, Mars, a mutant/yokai (idk yet?) Koi fish. And just because me and @percy-eats-souls (co-creator) could, Echo had to kill Mars in a death match :3

Time skip to when echo is now 15, Echo did a lot of crimes for Big Mama. Assassinating people who haven't fulfilled debt, bombing the occasional gang trying to sabotage the Nexus, y'know, the works.

We are now brought to when Echo meets the turtles in Ep. 7 Bug Busters. A ton of fighting a convincing later, Echo joins the Mad Dogz.

Hijinks and shenanigans ensue, and somewhere in-between all the crazy, Raph and Echo form a romantic relationship.

And the best way they break it to the boys? Simply forgetting to tell them 🤷

---------

Hope you liked that little introduction to my silly little trauma dumpster ☺️ (jk I love Echo with all of my heart and soul)

@tmntstorycomp I hope this is ok?

[kokoasci]

Do you happen to have any tips on "filling up negative space with random objects" like you mentioned in the tags of your "product of your environment" WIP post?

The finished piece is absolutely breathtaking and I wondered how you decided on what objects to use and how you positioned them to make the composition work so well, there's something so compelling and dynamic about it that I can't quite put into words!!

Seriously, your art is extremely inspiring and eye-catching, I could analyse and ramble on about each piece for hours hehe

yes ofc! :D one of my favorite things to do with my art fr

so this is how the piece originally started:

and it was just going to be a little sketch that i didnt put much effort into. i drew that little teacup there and was like huh what if i put more around it?? this turned into the idea of putting Mori pouring the cup, etc. etc. and i now knew what kind of message/theme i wanted this piece to take.

the paper koi were a product of trying to make stuff look more dynamic :D since you can bend and twist them, i thought they'd be a good fluid addition that i could manipulate to make the piece feel more full composition-wise and tie in to the horizontal orientiation i wanted to go for.

in terms of how i pick objects, i usually just browse pinterest for random objects that catch my eye LMAO 😭 its kind of a mixture between going for elegance and aesthetic and also just what i can draw in an interesting pose (teacups are not. usually floating and tipping in air, so taking an object and putting it in a situation it wouldn't be usually gives a comp a really striking effect i think)

i also like to keep in mind motion while i draw, and how "fast" i want this scene to be if it were animated or actually moving. cups pour pretty quickly, but i wanted the other objects to look like they were almost floating or moving very slowly, which is why i think i gravitated towards bigger objects like koi fish and plants. it creates this cool juxtaposition that draws the eye in really well as you're trying to make sense of a piece when you're first looking at it!!

maybe im rambling. but, thats how i got the finished composition!

5. Hello lovely lovely people! Has anyone ever written crossover fics between MDZS x 19Days? A chaotic, hillarious, shameless, crack fics? Hope I am lucky this time! Thank you all! @yellowridge

for #5 in the latest IITMF, do they mean 19天 - Old先 | 19 Days - Old Xian?

I couldn't find any works that crossed over with 19天 - Old先 | 19 Days - Old Xian (for any ship) on ao3 however maybe I'm not searching properly

6. Hello! I've recently read Karmiya's essay on WWX's position in the Jiang household, and I was wondering... do you know any fics that take a similar tone? e.g. where the text and wwx himself acknowledge that he is not the Jiangs' sibling and is not respected as their equal? it would be interesting to explore that idea more in-depth, and how it impacts his many different relationships once he pulls himself free.

//vent I really need to get this off my chest. After Splatoon 3's final splatfest comes to a close, I'm probably going to stop interacting with the Splatoon community as much as I can. It's been four years since I've gotten truly into Splatoon, (that's a complicated, yet much nicer story for some other time) and while I don't regret it by any means, it's definitely been an exhausting ride, and I kinda want to get off of it before I barf.

Getting the most obvious thing out of the way, the way Nintendo has been handling Splatoon 3 has been really disappointing. It has far more improvements than flaws, but this game has had some really bizarre decisions made with it compared to the first two games. Maps, kits, ETC... I'm not gonna delve into the specifics, you probably already know what I'm going on about. Secondly, while what I just said still holds true, I feel like the community reactions to these changes have been... a bit too much? Like, yeah, splatfests are imbalanced. Maps have been bad. (up until Drizzle Season 2023, at least) But these problems have been absolutely blown out of the water. Fucking, death threats have been sent to people who join the Shiver's teams. Despite the whole appeal of the Splatoon community being a place of self expression and lack of judgement, a lot of Splatoon subcultures really... aren't that great. Being deadass, competitive Splatoon is boring, and its players are super rude and annoying. I don't like to generalize, but I've yet to interact with a single comp player I enjoy talking to. Every single one I've met has tried forcing me to play a certain way, no matter if I'm even fucking playing with them. I was harassed for using sticks. In a B- lobby. Back when I was new to Splatoon 2. The hacking scene is a dumpster fire. The main person who's created the most well known and fun Splatoon hacking system is a piece of shit, for one. For two, have you even touched the first game anytime after 2017? Yeah, it's full of hackers. Can't play turf war for 15 minutes without having to sit there and not play the game because someone is hacking and getting away with it because Nintendo doesn't moderate the servers anymore. The Coroika fandom is if you took Splatoon fandom and infected it with My Hero Academia fans. Yeah. Are any of you familiar with Splatoon Florida? It was an old parody account on Twitter that I used to own that got popular SUPER fast. Could not handle it. It spawned nearly 50 clone accounts based on the other 49 united states, and I had even gotten impersonation accounts pretending to be me and saying really, really awful things. This paired with the queerphobia I faced and hatemail in general stacked on top of my mother having multiple strokes and almost dying at the time, pushed me over the edge, and I deleted SplatoonFL after someone told me that they hoped my mother had another stroke and died. Now, I feel like shit for name dropping people in my vent, as it's been awhile since most of this garbage has happened and I don't want to seem petty, plus this isn't intended to be a callout post. But I really do feel the need to let this shit out of my system, and frankly I'm tired of watching these people be appreciated while remembering what they've done to me, small and insignificant or not.

Theecorner, AKA Danniee, banned me from their Discord server after I loudly expressed distaste for jokes being made about Dream, as I was one of Dream's victims and felt very uncomfortable bringing him up. Keep in mind that insinuated that I did not enjoy the conversation multiple times.

Pufuu had made a Twitter post with a screenshot of our DMs. I was irritated that he had kept making fake Splatoon leaks with zero indication of them being concepts, and he thought that was wrong. A couple Tweets before this, ironically, he boasted about getting another annoying fake leaker to block him.

Caitlin Koi had acted aggressive towards me after I expressed concern for her after a seizure which, her seizures are very much real and very dangerous, though I should mention she also uses them as an excuse to be an asshole and guilt trip people.

Vaqeii. Fuck you. (He has very few actual fans, I just wanted to express my hatred towards that fucking slime since he's also one of the Splatubers who had traumatized me.)

I'd like to restate that I don't regret my time in the community one bit. I love it here for the most part. It's just gotten far too much, and I'm. Frankly a little bit done and ready to move on. I'll try to keep strong and stay for a bit so I can enjoy the rest of Splatoon 3's update cycle with my friends and the people I enjoy being around. After that though, unless something happens to change my mind, I'll be gone after that.

Knowing the current state of the Splatoon community, I wouldn't be surprised if I started getting harassed again for this post. Hell, wouldn't it be hilarious if THIS vent post got screenshotted and edited to be about Roller Coaster Tycoon, to? Yeah, that was a thing that happened. No, I haven't forgotten about that. You know who you are. Real fucking proud of you, I am.

G2 Are One Series Away From Capturing Another LEC Title

With a convincing 3-1 victory against KOI today, G2 Esports earned a spot in the 2023 LEC Winter Split finals. In the repeat of the 2022 Summer Split final, G2 triumphed with ease, handing KOI their first defeat since the beginning of the group stage this split. The history between G2 and KOI seems to repeat itself since the two teams continue to meet in the LEC’s upper bracket semifinals. But unlike their last face-off in a best-of series, this time it was G2 who came out on top in what was the LEC match of the week. During the first game, it was KOI who had the upper hand—until they didn’t anymore. After a great early game dominated by Malrang’s ganks, G2 turned the tide of the game by capitalizing on KOI’s mistakes. In particular, Hans Sama’s performance on Miss Fortune was pivotal to G2’s victory as the champion’s damage shredded through the KOI lineup. The turning point was a teamfight around the Baron pit, during which G2 took down KOI’s back line and after which conquered the Baron buff. KOI kept on fighting their opponents across the Rift, but with the Ocean Soul and the Baron buff, G2 pushed in the bot lane, taking down KOI’s inhibitor and then their Nexus. The early game went in favor of KOI, but their opponents found several crucial fights and got back in the game, then snowballed it until the end. Screengrab via LECThe second game of the series was G2 dominance from start to finish. Being present all over the Rift with proactive plays, G2 kept on taking down members of the enemy team over and over again. The Samurais widened the gap between them and KOI by 14,000 gold before the clock hit 25 minutes and had 10 more kills than KOI. After taking objective after objective on the map, crushing all of KOI’s members multiple times, G2 brought the series to match point. https://twitter.com/LEC/status/1627736971979198487 — LEC (@LEC) February 20, 2023But what was “one of the most convincing games seen in a long time,” according to caster Aaron “Medic” Chamberlain, was actually the trigger point for KOI’s attempted comeback. Thanks to Malrang’s ganks, KOI gained significant advantages in the early stages of the third game, thus having the resources to face G2 head-on and win several crucial fights. G2 initiated several objectives and fights around them, but it was KOI who over and over again crushed their opponents and snatched the prize, whether it was a dragon or Baron. But ultimately, neither of those was needed for KOI to take down G2. Comp collected a pentakill in G2’s base right before destroying their Nexus. PENTAKILL for @CompGRE ! #LEC pic.twitter.com/RasxDxxzcJ — LoL Esports (@lolesports) February 20, 2023The fourth game of the match was the most hard-fought of the series, both on and off the Rift. The two teams exchanged blows from the very first minutes of the game, but every time either team gained an advantage, the other struck back immediately, equalizing the situation. This back-and-forth was accompanied by several pauses due to foreign problems with the game, which undoubtedly raised the tension in a match that had a lot on the line. Even the fights around the Baron buff kept on being initiated and solved without either of the teams actually obtaining the objective. It all came to a conclusion when G2 decided to step away from the Baron and commit to the Dragon Soul, taunting KOI to contest the objective. The game was decided in a single fight, where G2’s positioning and teamwork were a step ahead of KOI’s. With the Chemtech Soul and the Baron buff in hand, G2 besieged KOI’s base and tore it down until nothing was left. The Samurais are now locked in for the 2023 LEC Winter Split finals and are one step away from making it to this year’s MSI. But much like what happened during last year’s Summer Split, KOI might still come back and snatch the title for themselves. Before that, KOI will have to wait for SK Gaming and MAD Lions to play on Feb. 24 to see who they’ll have to go up against to try to reconquer a place in the split finals. Read the full article
