The big issue is solo rank game
People wonder that how about solo rank game in Korea and Europe
I say one thing when I play solo rank in Europe. "Extremely hateful"
I don't know what I do
Is it really my play...? cause I'm localized
I'm really afraid of Marin before MSI
cause Marin is best player in Korean solo rank
and even he did very well in Korean championship
he won many top players in Korean pro-teams
I lose by Marin in MSI
What's your rank in Europe solo rank?
We are around 10th or 20th places
I'm not
I was 3rd places before MSI
Now lower cause of MSI
It's big difference between 3rd and 20th
No, no I can be higher rank if I play seriously
but I practiced a lot other champs
cause I got many bans of top champs
so, I thought that what's good champ
to carry a game alone
It's standard insane top laner
I should carry a game alone
It's just a word. He wanna play funny champs
He played Nidalee top, it's useless in tournament
No it can be played! Did you predict top Cassiopeia in pro-games?
Actually for fun
He played jungle Lee Sin a lot
also AD dealer
and mid Leblanc
Game should be fun
We should enjoy our works
So, is Korean solo rank more tough?
Yes
Would you like to compare it by tier?
It's hard to compare....
but Korea is more tough
I think number of TOP player is small in Europe
I mean top ranked player in Korea solo rank
There is a few top players in Europe
Just about 10 players among 200 challengers?
So, US platinum is similar with Korea silver. It's not but
a few top players
Overall levels are similar
I played Korea solo rank yesterday
The level of Korea solo rank is higher than Europe
But it's unclear that it's higher level or
gamers are more passive
Definitely, successful ganking is very hard
ganking is hard
they put more wards
they played very safely without misses
but they not intend playing making
For example, when I play solo rank in Europe
Let assume that opposite jungler is very well
When one jungler tried to gank, normally it's successful cause all players are aggressive
but at that time, opposite jungler
made something without fail
so it's like a give-and-take
but in case of Korean solo rank
players are very good
to avoid ganking
but it's same to ganking by opposite jungler
so the game is very loose in Korea
I'd like to say that it's characteristics not the level
because if I got kill points at early phase
the game is ended very earlier than Europe
by snow balling some benefits
rather
I could do nothing cause some play makings at early phase were failed
so, it's difference of playing types
I discussed about it
with Hai in C9
In Korean solo rank, he felt that
it's better to pracitce team-rank game in solo rank
compared to Europe or US solo rank
because they fought together by following orders
the supporter aggresively did roaming
Even the supporter's roaming to top lane is natural in Korean solo rank
So, he felt that it's like a official tournament game when he spectated solo rank in challenger tier
The style in challenger tier is derived from lower tiers
He played from Diamond 5 tier although he received super account
He said that Korean players were very good at team play
I did not tell and make a ping
but players responded very well to his roaming
actually we can't feel it
but it's Korean style compared to other regions
Yah, when we play solo rank, no respond to gank, frequent trolling...
But it's Korean style observed by US or Europe pro-players
So, solo rank in Europe is more exciting as jungler?
It's exciting, but more stressful
because
I should concentrate the game all the time
I cannot just move around jungle
If I do only jungling
Opposite jungler can make kill points
because our laners are very aggressive
my level is lower than opposite jungler cause of such ganking
So, continous give-and-takes, and 40 kills in 20 minutes.
Then,
I have a question
In Korea, laners passively played if jungler said "please be careful cause I will do jungling"
What happen if you say that in Europe?
In Europe... just do ganking by Sejuani at level 3
Then, let's move to other topics
For example,
"Open Mid"
it's common codes in solo rank
like "Blame other players"
Is it similar with solo rank in Europe?
Yah, I wanna talk about it
Sooooo much blaming
It's really stressful
In Korea, players blamed by chat
I can avoid it by blocking chat
In Europe, they blamed by ping! I cannot block it! It's really stressful
They continously made back pings
It's really noisy sounds
so, at first time, it's really stressful for me
Although I blocked chat, they blamed by both chat and ping
The tier of blaming is challenger
Blaming by chat with making back pings
If we made pings continously, it's blocked for a while
then they blamed by chat
ping, ping, ping, block? chat, chat, chat
It's horrible
It's really horrible
until
I can block both chat and ping
But I think it's special case for Huni
because he is insane top laner
I never experienced such kinds of things
because I played seriously
but Huni
he made 15 deaths in a game
I think it happens to Huni cause team members thought that he did trolling
Players knew that Huni is good but he died a lot
so they did trolling cause they thought that Huni did trolling intentionally
There is few or no blaming in Europe solo rank
Then, how about "Open Mid" or "Intentional AFK" in challenger tier?
No, never. Even they never surrender
No surrender even the kill score is 30 to 0
I cannot understand it
"Open Mid" happens one time among about 100 games?
I cannot understand it cause the game will be lose certainly
But it's different thought among players
some people considered that it's waste of time
but others just enjoyted the game, no matter the scores
Sometimes they thought UOL's dramatic game
Yah, game in solo rank swayed up and down
Yah, we experienced a lot
so they do not surrender
But clear difference in "Open Mid"
because the game is not changed in Korean challenger tier game
They easily surrender because the game is not funny
The intersting thing is that, the duration of Korean solo rank at challenger tier is around 20 minutes
It's a unique Korean culture to save time
Game for just 21 minutes or 22 minutes
Just one more try around 20 minutes
Yah, surrender at 20 minutes and make last team fight
So, in Korean solo rank, we can win if we play passively around 20 or 25 minutes since players over-played at that time
