🚨FLASHBACK to when 2x NCAA Champion🥇David CARR (ISU) went through one of the toughest brackets of ALL TIME to put a cap on his legendary NCAA career ‼️🔥 In 2024 - Carr won his 2nd NCAA title, but it would be the toughest path by far. Carr took out NCAA AA Garvin, NCAA Champion🥇Hamiti, 2x NCAA Champion🥇/U23 World Champion🥇O’Toole - before winning in the finals against NCAA Champion🥇/U23 World Champion🥇Mitchell MESENBRINK (PSU) 🔥 Carr mostly dominated the action, but due to some egregious stall calls the match was very close. Ultimately Carr’s TOUGH first period ride earned him victory - getting the 9-8 win on riding time. (***this bracket also included NCAA Champion🥇Taylor, NCAA Finalist🥈Caliendo, and several other All Americans.)

🚨FLASHBACK to when Iowa State Head Coach Brent METCALF (IOWA) BURIED the beef between him and NCAA Champion🥇Dustin SCHLATTER (MINN) 😳🤯‼️ In 2008 - Metcalf and Schlatter were seen as 2 of the best HS prospects of all time to hit the NCAA. But while Schlatter got off to a fast start, winning an NCAA title as a true freshman - Metcalf had to sit out and miss a year due to transfer eligibility rules. Combine that with Schlatter getting the last win between the two (Senior NHSCA National Finals) - and it was clear Metcalf had a MASSIVE chip on his shoulder when facing Schlatter. Metcalf won a very physical match in the Big Ten finals, and went on to win his 1st of 2 NCAA titles along with the Hodge Trophy in 2008 🔥🥇

🚨Here’s the CRAZIEST match you’ll ever see 😰🔥‼️ In 2019 - World Finalist🥈/4x NCAA Champion🥇Yianni DIAKOMIHALIS (USA) faced popular Russian World Champion🥇Ismail MUSUKAEV (HUN) in an all out WAR 🙌🔥 Neither were World Medalists at this time, but the talent they displayed in this psychotic match was incredible. Musukaev raced to a 9-0 lead, before Yianni completely gassed him out and staged a massive comeback. Musukaev was so exhausted he couldn’t even stand up at the end, which lead to him being disqualified.

Josh Donaldson and DJ LeMahieu should be competing for playing time. If Donaldson fizzles, call up Oswald Peraza. And look. I say this as someone who desperately wanted the Yankees to move on from JD. I've written entire dissertations on the matter. They should give him a few looks, though. The fact is, LeMahieu has found himself in his third extended slump since signing that deal, and the last two became IL stints. (DJ hasn’t seen a postseason at-bat since Trump was in office. We’re almost up to the next election.) You can’t trust DJ to stay healthy, which changes things from where we were in the off-season in regards to JD. Also, last night was a sign of what Donaldson can bring if he’s right. Every ball he made contact with was over 100 MPH. His first home run, a 446-foot barreled shot hit at 110 MPH, was off Clayton Kershaw. It would have been out in 30 of 30 ballparks. His next, a two-run shot that was also barreled was hit 108 MPH and went 418 feet. That would have been out in 29 of 30 parks. He’s only had 21 plate appearances, and it’s his fifth barreled ball. Does Friday’s production mean we’re getting Toronto or Atlanta Donaldson? I’m still highly skeptical and think he’ll inevitably be DFA’d for Peraza, but I’ll give JD a shot. There are a lot of things about him I personally don’t like — singling out Gerrit Cole during the sticky stuff incidents of 2021 being one of them. Even with all that, you can’t say he hasn’t had a productive career. See what you have, and if he’s cooked, move on. From where we’ve been with third this year, at a minimum, we’ll get a few weeks of reliable third base defense and more power from what we’ve had at the position. In the end, this is a better position than where the Yankees were in 2021 when DJ struggled, and couldn’t finish the season. In his wake is a former MVP and an exciting young player.

Elijah Brooks played the last two years for us at HCU and is available in the portal. He’s the real deal: • Two-year starter who led our team in scoring (12.3 PPG), finished second in rebounding (4.5 RPG), and led in steals (1.5 SPG) this season. • Switchable defender who can guard 1-4 effectively. • 6’4” PG (6’3” without shoes, 6’4” with shoes. We measure). • American Conference+ level athlete — plays downhill, explosive vertical athlete with high-level strength and burst. • Extremely high basketball IQ — Elijah initiated our offense from the point, which included seven formations and over 50 sets/variations. • Developed into an elite pick-and-roll player — rarely missed a pocket pass or read. Float game established. • Barkley game (watch the 11/27/24 game vs. NAU for the full Barkley bag including 29 PTS on 13-19 FG). Most teams run a double at him and are forced to play in rotation. • Elite cutter off the ball • Game-changer in transition with his speed and vision • Career 189/381 (.496 FG%) — all at the NCAA Division I level • Broke his hand this season, but it’s fully healed with no restrictions. He’s been working out daily in our gym and is 100% ready to go. There will be no issue with the medical hardship as we have x-rays, documents, and info from doctors, specialists and surgeons. He appeared in 8 game, all in the first semester. Call me with any questions. I’ll tell you everything you need to know. Note: Last season we had two high level players at HCU enter the portal for enhanced revenue opportunities: Julian Mackey (to FIU) and Bryson Dawkins (to YSU). Both were double-figure scorers who absolutely crushed it at their next school. Elijah is cut from the same cloth and will do the same for you. Hit me up!

FINAL UPDATE ON KENYAN AIRWAYS/GLORIA OMISORE/OTHERS The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority is initiating maximum enforcement action against Official Kenya Airways for a large number of consumer protection infractions. Frame 1: Official Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria apologized for the Gloria Omisore incident. Frame 2: The airline admits that they should never have boarded the passenger from Lagos. The airline failed to discover the lack of a France transit visa and flew this passenger to Nairobi where she had a 17-hour layover, only to be told that she would have to endure a further 10-hour wait if she must be flown to the UK. Passenger then asks to be provided care for that 10-hour period as she is bleeding and needs to bathe. The actions of the airline staff following her request were down to poor passenger handling. Gloria Omisore was not an unruly passenger on the first leg of the flight, nor was she rude on the Lagos-Nairobi flight. Frame 3: We put the facts of the matter to the airline and rejected the misleading official statement put out by them. The determination was for the airline to update its initial statement to reflect the facts of the case. There has been no compliance. Rather, the original statement that obfuscated facts, in all of its royal 'misleading-ness', has been allowed to grow wings and fly. Take the blog post by one Charles Onyango-Obbo for instance. The writer still asserts that Gloria Omisore blatantly refused the offer to fly to London. This lie is being told despite the admission of Kenya Airways Country Manager in Nigeria, James Nganga, that the passenger only became frustrated when the 10-hour wait attached to that offer did not come with accommodation. This was a bleeding woman who had already experienced the inconvenience of a 17-hour layover. She needed to clean up, possibly have a bathe. If the airline was not going to provide the care, its staff could have handled the matter professionally. In the viral video, the airline's staff could be heard hurling insults and raising her voice in response to the infuriated passenger. James Nganga admitted in one of the videos below, that the staff's behaviour was against airline policy. The writer also claimed that the meeting between my team and the ailine held in Lagos. Simple research would have told him that the NCAA HQ is in Abuja. This is what happens when people are more interested in narrative-creation rather than facts. They know their audience. Frame 4. "Truth shouldn't be hard to tell." The NCAA gave the airline an opportunity to fix what was wrong. The airline has failed to do so. Earlier yesterday, the airline asked for an extension of one hour, after which they still failed to comply with the determination of the CAA. On Thursday, in a separate issue, the airline failed to send in a compliance report about a scheduled flight that was delayed for 7 hours with no compensation for the passengers. When confronted over a phone call, the Kenya Airways team claimed ignorance of the NCAA Regulations. We are sending them a copy of it. But, how can you operate in a foreign country with no recourse to the relevant regulations? How is this different from those who claimed that Omisore should have known the travel documents she needed for her trip? To this end, we are organising a retreat for ALL airlines operating in Nigeria to learn and relearn Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. One would expect that knowledge of all necessary regulations is essential. Added to the other long-ignored cases read out to the KQ team that attended the meeting, the CAA is dismayed by the actions of this airline. Cases of refunds not paid, lost baggage not compensated for despite admitting to losing them, and failure to honour commitments. The NCAA is, therefore, initiating stiff enforcement action against Kenya Airways. This action will go through due process. I have put our legal department on notice.

⬛ Austin Ekeler: From D2 to the League He ran for 5,857 yards at Western Colorado Football. Signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent. Led the NFL in touchdowns twice. Now with the Washington Commanders and still producing strong. He’s one of the best to ever come out of Division II. ⬇️ Western State, now Western Colorado, was the only program that offered him a shot at running back. He stayed four full years and became one of the most productive players the RMAC has ever seen. He averaged 146 rushing yards and 1.6 touchdowns per game over 40 starts. He put together one of the strongest careers in D2 history...and he didn’t have to leave to do it. At Western, Ekeler dominated. He averaged more than 100 rushing yards per game across four seasons, led the country in all-purpose yards in 2015, and earned academic honors alongside his on-field production. By the time he wrapped up his senior year, he was a Harlon Hill finalist with nearly 6,000 rushing yards to his name. His work was undeniable. But he still didn’t get a Combine invite. The draft came and went. No calls. Then the Los Angeles Chargers brought him into camp on a rookie deal and gave him a shot. He took it from there. He made the roster as a rookie and started producing immediately. First as a change-of-pace option. Then as a third-down threat. Then as the guy. In 2021 and 2022, he led the NFL in total touchdowns. He stacked back-to-back seasons with more than 1,500 scrimmage yards and at least 15 total scores. He caught 107 passes in 2022, the most by any running back in Los Angeles Chargers history. The production hasn’t slowed down. In 2024, he signed with the Washington Commanders. He’s still outworking people. Division II didn’t slow him down. It prepared him. The hours. The discipline. The ability to carry the weight of a program while juggling everything else college throws at you. That’s what this level teaches. That’s why it sticks. There are players right now doing the same thing. Grinding through the spring, stacking film, putting together complete seasons. Some will make it. Not because someone finally believed in them, but because they never stopped believing in themselves. That’s what turns a D2 shot into an NFL career. ⬛ College Career 🔹 5,857 rushing yards, 63 total touchdowns 🔹 4× First-Team All-RMAC Sports 🔹 2013 RMAC Offensive Freshman of the Year 🔹 Led D2 in all-purpose yards per game (203.9) in 2015 🔹 2016 Harlon Hill Trophy Finalist 🔹 First-Team Academic All-America (CoSIDA) 🔹 RMAC Academic Player of the Year (2014) 🔹 2018 Western Colorado Alumni Award of Excellence ⬛ NFL Career 🔹 Signed by Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 (UDFA) 🔹 NFL leader in total touchdowns: 20 (2021), 18 (2022) 🔹 Only player with 10+ rush and 5+ receiving TDs in back-to-back seasons since Marshall Faulk 🔹 One of two UDFAs with 1,500+ scrimmage yards and 15+ TDs in two straight years (with Priest Holmes) 🔹 107 catches in 2022, most by a running back in Los Angeles Chargers history 🔹 PFF Second-Team All-Pro (2019) 🔹 NFL Top 100: Ranked #21 in 2023 🔹 AFC Offensive Player of the Week (Week 17, 2022) 🔹 Over 7,000 scrimmage yards and 70+ career touchdowns 🔹 Signed with the Washington Commanders in 2024 ⬛ Off the Field 🔹 Owns more than 115 rental properties in Colorado and Missouri 🔹 Built the Eksperience app to connect athletes and fans 🔹 Co-founded Gridiron Gaming Group 🔹 75+ endorsement deals (Adidas, Chipotle, Frito-Lay, more) 🔹 Founded the Austin Ekeler Foundation in 2021 🔹 Former host of “Ekeler’s Edge” with Yahoo Sports Ekeler’s story isn’t rare because he came from Division II. It stands out because he stayed in it, believed in it, and maxed it out. That’s what this level does when the right player buys in.

Celebrating this historic European championship victory for Aston Villa, the Prince of Wales took to social media to congratulate them and ended his message saying, UTV for Villa's slogan "Up the Villa!" and VTID for "Villa Till I Die" reaffirming his loyalty to the team and that is quite the Royal superfan, isn't it? 😁😍 In every situation, there is a Life lesson to be learned and the win yesterday which was 44 years in the making, shows that Success in Life is achievable, regardless of how many challenges and setbacks we encounter on our way there. But it takes three key ingredients to make it happen: •Dare to dream and have that vision; • Be willing to put in the Hardwork to make that dream a reality; • and keep Optimism and Hope high so as to never give up until the goal is reached; and this is honestly the hardest part of it all👌🏾 Prince William has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child. He recalled during a podcast discussing his passion for the team: “I had some family friends who took me to my first Villa game when I was younger because they are big Villa fans,” “I sat in the stands with my Villa beanie hat on…With the camaraderie among the fans and the chanting and the singing, I just felt like I belonged there.”❤️ Almost 3 decades later, here he was in the stands howling and crying happy tears in celebration for Aston Villa's victory. For the emotional day, Prince William surrounded himself with 3 of his closest childhood friends: •Edward van Cutsem, who together with his brothers William and Nicholas van Cutsem, have grown up with Prince William and his brother on the Sandringham Estate. King Charles and the Late Hugh van Cutsem were great friends from university and KC is godfather to Edward while Nicholas and William Van Cutsem are godfathers to Prince George. Edward took his 16 year old son with him and he was sitting in between Prince William and his father in the box, dancing to "sweet Caroline"😁❤️ • Next to Edward van Cutsem sat Thomas van Straubenzee, another childhood friend of William who serves as godfather to Princess Charlotte. They are very often seen together since their youth and he used to "chaperone" Catherine when she was dating William. • Finally Ben Dawes another childhood friend was on his right screaming and hugging his old friend as they went through the emotions together😂 Following the match, Prince William was spotted celebrating with Aston Villa at the team’s afterparty. Defender Victor Lindelöf’s wife, Maja, posted a picture of her partying with the Prince, writing ‘Going off the rails’. Oh no please 😭😅 Remember when Some bitter ex royal, sat on TV looking forlorn, while claiming that he was "free" to enjoy his life while his brother was "trapped" and miserable🫠 Well, It sure looks from there as if William is the one who is trult enjoying his life as he pleases😏 What's not to enjoy? his future is set and assured without any financial worry, he has good health, he is doing what he likes to do successfully, lives where he wants to live, he can travel freely when he wants to, he has the wife and family he wanted and he has loyal friends, a loving family and a beautiful country to call home who loves him back.❤️ According to acclaimed author, Dale Carnegie in his iconic book about Lifetime success, "The Greatest success in Life, is to ENJOY your life"🔥 And for all intent and purposes, Prince William is enjoying the salt out of life so much, he is sucking the marrow out of it surrounded by the people he loves; and that my dear is the greatest success of in life☕️ #PrinceofWales 📹 Tokkianami

Celebrating this historic European championship victory for Aston Villa, the Prince of Wales took to social media to congratulate them and ended his message saying, UTV for Villa's slogan "Up the Villa!" and VTID for "Villa Till I Die" reaffirming his loyalty to the team and that is quite the Royal superfan, isn't it? 😁😍 In every situation, there is a Life lesson to be learned and the win yesterday which was 44 years in the making, shows that Success in Life is achievable, regardless of how many challenges and setbacks we encounter on our way there. But it takes three key ingredients to make it happen: •Dare to dream and have that vision; • Be willing to put in the Hardwork to make that dream a reality; • and keep Optimism and Hope high so as to never give up until the goal is reached; and this is honestly the hardest part of it all👌🏾 Prince William has been an Aston Villa fan since he was a child. He recalled during a podcast discussing his passion for the team: “I had some family friends who took me to my first Villa game when I was younger because they are big Villa fans,” “I sat in the stands with my Villa beanie hat on…With the camaraderie among the fans and the chanting and the singing, I just felt like I belonged there.”❤️ Almost 3 decades later, here he was in the stands howling and crying happy tears in celebration for Aston Villa's victory.

In case you didn't know mode: The only player in Europe to have an "era of Tekken". The Ryan Hart Era of Tekken was between 1996 - 2012. During this lengthy 16 year period, there was no man in all of Europe who was more feared across all Tekken games than Ryan Hart. Ryan would often rack up 100+ wins or more during arcade sessions and is the only person in Tekken history to win National and European championships on every Tekken 3, 4, 5, 6 and Tekken Tag. Ryan Hart's reign of terror also extended to North America where in 2001, despite having multiple characters in his arsenal, Ryan saw the competition and decided to display the Korean style of Mishima play, which had been taught to him by Bong Bong from South Korea, and Ryan defeated every single North American player he played against, nobody from NA was able to topple him. Ryan also beat US Champion; JOP in a close deathmatch that ended 26-21 in Ryan's favour. Ryan's two single defeats at this time were at the Electric Cancel 3 tournament, where Jang SuWon from South Korea defeated Ryan 3-2 and JOP defeated Ryan 3-1 in tournament, however there was controversy around the JOP win as Ryan's RP button visibly stopped working mid tournament, combos were dropped mid flow, 112's on hit not completed, etc. However despite his 3rd place finish, Ryan had successfully began his reign of terror extension in North America. When Ryan revisited the US for Virtua Fighter on the East Coast twice, again he was dominant against all North American competition. Nobody could put a lid on Ryan's ferocity, reaction time, execution, situational awareness and clutch factor. Ryan also had the largest character usage. Ryan Hart placed Top 3 then Top 4 two years in a row at EVOLUTIONCHAMPIONSHIPSERIES, while simultaneously consistently securing Grand Finals on Tekken at the same time. (Securing Top 2 and Top 3 on two EVO main stage titles at the same time is noteworthy. The next year at EVO Ryan secured top 4 on VF and actually won Tekken at the same time while getting 5th on a third main stage EVO title.) In 2003 Ryan defeated Kim Bong Min from Korea in a 4 hour deathmatch hosted at Castel's House in front of a live audience, becoming the first person in the world to defeat a Korean Tekken champion in a deathmatch. After news of this travelled around North America, every single NA player that had previously challenged Ryan Hart and set up money matches, all rescinded their challenge, during Ryan Hart's time in NA in 2003, not a single NA player would challenge Ryan Hart. People feared Ryan and in pre EVO polls every year, Ryan Hart was always predicted an EVO Grand Final finish even before the tournament bracket had been drawn up. During the next three years in a row at Evolution Championship Series, Ryan Hart went undefeated vs NA, Japan and EU in Tekken Tag. Not a single person from North America, Japan or Europe ever beat Ryan Hart on Tekken Tag at any EVO ever. After these years EVO replaced Tekken Tag in favour of the newer Tekken 5 game, which made sense. In the Tekken Tag domain Ryan Hart went down as one of the all time kings that ever touched the game, that was literally never beaten by anybody from Japan, America or Europe on the EVO stage. Ryan Hart got to Grand Finals back to back 3 years in a row and either won it or lost to a top Korean player. He again won it in 2008, this time on Tekken 5 DR. Ryan came out of Tekken retirement for a one-off exhibition match on Tekken 7 vs RIP in 2019, which Ryan won 10-3. There have been challengers to Ryan's throne that came and went, but no player in the world has stood the test of time on multiple fighting games since the 90's like Ryan has. #EVO #Evo2025 #TEKKEN #VirtuaFighter

A broken clock has to be right at least once, right? According to Iran, their talks with the U.S. in Muscat on Friday concerned “only” the nuclear issue—despite the initial position that ballistic missiles, regional proxies and Iranian protesters would all be on the table. Now Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled for a Wednesday visit to Washington to discuss the talks. After so many false readings, has the daylight between Israel and the United States finally materialized? Well, let’s slow down. So far, nothing combative has come out of Jerusalem. Then again, to date, Netanyahu has never publicly confronted Donald Trump. The worst he has done was issue a midnight statement against Trump’s Board of Peace for allowing a Palestinian flag in the technocratic council logo, and sent Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to “talk to the Americans.” The latter sounds innocuous, but it’s a snub—where the U.S. is concerned, Netanyahu is the foreign minister. But past experience teaches us to be cautious. Every time there’s talk of a serious rift, it later turns out to be the opposite of what it appeared. The most prominent examples being Operation Rising Lion, the end of the war in Gaza, and several other episodes that were initially interpreted as confrontations and later revealed to be coordination. I would suggest two alternative possibilities for the current perceived tension. The first is that the Americans—like anyone with basic common sense—understand that asking Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to swallow four cups of poison may be too much, even for him. His predecessor, Ruhollah Khomeini, claimed to have drunk the “poison” of ending the Iran-Iraq War without total victory—and survived. But the chances that Khamenei can stomach the loss of the nuclear program, ballistic missiles, the dismantling of Hezbollah and Hamas, and ending the killing of demonstrators are low. If that’s the case, an attack remains more likely than not. And when it happens, Netanyahu will say: Look, I helped bring this about by insisting on pushing the demands. The second possibility is simpler. Netanyahu was meant to attend a meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace in Washington next week. A photo of him sitting next to Qatar and Turkey in any context—especially when discussing their American-ordained future role in Gaza—is not one he wants circulating in an election year. Fake tension with the U.S. that precipitates an earlier visit may simply be Bibi’s way of taking a rain check. The answer will have to wait for Wednesday, Netanyahu’s seventh Trump visit since the latter’s second inauguration.

#KimJaeYoung #김재영 #HappyJaeyoungDay #TheJudgeFromHell Since it's his big day, thought I show you a short edit of his beauty & emotions in his most controversial role . 🙃 Below is a somewhat long 🤭 post about him & drama recommendations. My sweetie here is a late bloomer but I have always kept faith that people will see his potential. I liked what this kblogger said that when you see him in TJFH , he feels familiar but yet you might think he's a newcomer. Seems like a rookie but surprised that he's good in acting. If you check his filmography you'd realise he's been acting for more than a decade. JY mentioned that he wasn't sure what to do while in school but he did have a dream of being a chef especially because he helped mum out at home. His father suggested modeling after he was done with military service . He mentioned in an interview he had to shed off 30kg through diet & exercise as he weighed over 100kg .Esteem Academy signed him & he debut as a model in 2010. He got casted in a TVN survival program "Flower Boy Casting". From there, he was inspired to act and landed his 1st supporting role in the movie "No Breathing". (starring SeoInGuk & LeeJongSuk.) If you want to see a young JY in swimwear 😁, you can check him out there. The movie didn't quite make a splash (pun unintended 😁) , and JY who had actually left Esteem to pursue acting, found himself jobless for at least over a year. He auditioned for BladeMan (LeeDongWook & Shin SeKyung's drama) and got casted for a small role. Esteem reached out to him again & he signed with them again to model. He later also joined HB Entertainment for acting jobs, and was with them for a long time. Last year (2023) he left HB and joined his long time manager who had established a new agency, Management S. After Blademan , JY had several supporting roles but his 1st main cast role was in OCN's My Secret Romance. He was the 2nd lead & that was also my first JY drama. While I didn't have SLS, he was such a sweetheart there and caught my attention. My massive crush began when he acted as MooYeon in #100DaysMyPrince as an assassin and the FL's brother. He also had a forbidden love line with the 2ndFL's char played by HanSoHee , and they had great chemie despite limited scenes. I cried my eyes out watching their tragic love story. This is the year (2018) I decided I'll stan this man ☺️😂 His role there opened many doors. He had a short TV series called Dear My Room ( was on the now defunct Olive TV) where he played the romantic ML against Ryoo Hye Young's character. It was one of those friends to lovers trope and I recommend this for a sweet fluffy watch. He also sang the OST with RHY. The big year came in 2019 when he was casted as the ML , Sun Woo in #SecretBoutique, a female centric drama starring KimSunA and GoMinSi . He had a meaty role here as a prosecutor - a bit of a grey character and was somewhat like a brother to the FL (KimSunA) and he had some nice fight scenes. His body was the best here 🔥😋😁. If you don't mind a heavy melodrama, this wasn't bad. And oh boy, was I shipping him hard with GoMinSi's character. I still hope they can reunite for another show & give me closure. 2019-2020 was when I watched a KBS weekender #BeautifulLoveWonderfulLife from start to finish ( raw and with subs - yes my level of dedication surprised me) because JY got casted as Jun Hwi, the ML against another actress I love , Seol In Ah. Gosh, this drama was an emotional roller coaster and was another heavy character. The premise of the story was so sad and the leads went through so much together but I love this show though. He had good chemie with SIA. He also won a KBS acting award here. I recommend this if you can do 50eps and love angst like I do 😂 The role took its toll on JY. He mentioned he needed to take a break but then found himself without work for at least 6-7 months ( if I remember correctly) . Boy, did I miss him. It was really only in an Elle pictorial with his good friend -actor, model and famous youtuber Joo WooJae that I found out he had been having a hard time. He has appeared on WooJae's YT channel several times - they even travel together. JY's come back drama was in #ReflectionOfYou (2021), another heavy melo as the ML who was caught in an emotional tug of war between 2 women played by GoHyunJung and ShinHyunBeen. As WooJae, KJY gave some of his best acting. I know he got a lot of hate 😵‍💫🤣because WooJae was just so obssessed / in love with GHJ's character that he was willing to throw it all for her. This drama is not for the faint hearted but the acting was superb all round - even if the plot would make you uncomfortable. He was so hot here too. JY with longish hair was a dream. In 2022, he was the 2ndML , as KangHaeJin in #LoveInContract. It was so nice to see him play a diva actor and do rom-com for the 1st time. This is a fun watch. While I don't think viewers would have SLS, JY's character wasn't one dimensional either and he had his own storyline despite not being the ML. In 2022 - 2023 he voiced an audio drama , "For Sale - I Broke Up" with Yoon So Hee - but I don't know how we can listen to it internationally (though I do have some vids I would post one day). He also filmed a drama called "We Will Replace The Trip" with Gong SeungYeon, but so far no news of it airing yet. JaeYoung here is shy and unassuming. He's MBTI is INFP. You can see from his interviews he's quite easygoing and humorous. On my highlights- I have subbed some of his videos for TJFH. JY says he still dreams of being a chef and has gone to a 6-month cooking course last year. He also hopes to be able to take on warmer roles going forward.

Since Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20is, here something which I had written something for him few months back:(attaching an edit made by Amit Dubey which I found these lyrics fit aptly on Virat) March 2, 2008 This day holds great significance for Indian cricket because, on one hand, India defeated Australia in their own backyard in the first final of the CB series, and at the same time, nearly 6000 kilometers away, India's young brigade had won the Under-19 World Cup. After the World Cup victory, when this team returned to Bangalore from Kuala Lumpur, BCCI gave a grand welcome to the Under-19 team, and Kumble and Dravid were also present there. Dravid congratulated all the young players and imparted some wisdom. He said, "We are proud of you, but I want you to remember that from the Under-19 team that won the World Cup in 2000, only one member was part of the Indian team that won the CB Series." "What you have achieved is not everything, and your goal should be to win the World Cup one day." The young captain of that Under-19 team was listening carefully , and just three years later, he was part of the ODI World Cup-winning team. But the world had yet to witness the prowess of Kohli - the batter in a World Cup... By the next World Cup, Kohli had established himself among the World's best batsmen, but as in life, achieving everything in cricket is not easy. Kohli and the Indian team ended their 2015 World Cup campaign in disappointment. After becoming a regular part of the Indian team, 2015 was the first year when Kohli scored runs at an average of less than 40! Soon after, Kohli was given the responsibility of captaincy, which brought out a new brilliance in his batting. By the next World Cup, Kohli had scored 18 centuries & more than 4000 runs in ODIs at an average of 85 in just three years... Once again, India entered the 2019 World Cup as favorites and justified this tag, entering the semifinals as table toppers. But like in 2015, both Kohli & the Indian team were left with disappointment once again. Whereas the defeat in 2015 had shown us a new level of Kohli, after the loss in 2019, much had changed. In the meantime, there was COVID, a lack of regular games, a century drought, captaincy controversies, and numerous challenges, and another World Cup had arrived... The batsman who had scored more than 11,000 runs and 42 centuries between the 2011 World Cup and the 2023 World Cup (where no one else had even scored 10,000 runs or 30 centuries in ODIs)... I'm not even talking about Tests and T20Is where Kohli has set countless records. Despite all this, the expectation of "Doing even better" from fans and Kohli himself is the true mark of Virat's success. This "excellence" has always defined Virat, which is why a boy from West Delhi, along with Basu Shanker, trained himself like Olympic athletes and influenced not just fellow cricketers but the entire nation's fitness culture. Kohli's competition has never been with any cricketer, but with himself. Nonetheless, this World Cup was special too. Like in 2011, this World Cup was about playing and winning in front of his own people, and it must have reminded Kohli of Dravid's words once again: "What you have achieved is not everything." From winning the first match of this World Cup when India was 2/3 to sealing the victory, to exorcising the ghosts of 5/3 against the Kiwis in the semifinals with a 397/4, and breaking two long-standing records of his idol in front of him, only to get the biggest heartbreak of his career in the final against Australia... Such losses can break your mental toughness & especially in India where experts judges you even on the basis of franchise leagues,Virat too found himself again " evolving himself" in a format which he had already mastered... He came into this T20 World Cup with a new role & responsibility for the Team which supported by the Captain & Coach... He couldn't performed as per his fans expectations but you can see that willingness to prove that I can change myself with the demand of modern T20 even at final stage of my career... Virat is not just a name but a symbol that signifies: if there is truth in your dreams & strength in your resolve, everything is possible...

Since Virat Kohli has announced his retirement from T20is, here something which I had written something for him few months back:(attaching an edit made by Amit Dubey which I found these lyrics fit aptly on Virat) March 2, 2008 This day holds great significance for Indian cricket because, on one hand, India defeated Australia in their own backyard in the first final of the CB series, and at the same time, nearly 6000 kilometers away, India's young brigade had won the Under-19 World Cup. After the World Cup victory, when this team returned to Bangalore from Kuala Lumpur, BCCI gave a grand welcome to the Under-19 team, and Kumble and Dravid were also present there. Dravid congratulated all the young players and imparted some wisdom. He said, "We are proud of you, but I want you to remember that from the Under-19 team that won the World Cup in 2000, only one member was part of the Indian team that won the CB Series." "What you have achieved is not everything, and your goal should be to win the World Cup one day." The young captain of that Under-19 team was listening carefully , and just three years later, he was part of the ODI World Cup-winning team. But the world had yet to witness the prowess of Kohli - the batter in a World Cup... By the next World Cup, Kohli had established himself among the World's best batsmen, but as in life, achieving everything in cricket is not easy. Kohli and the Indian team ended their 2015 World Cup campaign in disappointment. After becoming a regular part of the Indian team, 2015 was the first year when Kohli scored runs at an average of less than 40! Soon after, Kohli was given the responsibility of captaincy, which brought out a new brilliance in his batting. By the next World Cup, Kohli had scored 18 centuries & more than 4000 runs in ODIs at an average of 85 in just three years... Once again, India entered the 2019 World Cup as favorites and justified this tag, entering the semifinals as table toppers. But like in 2015, both Kohli & the Indian team were left with disappointment once again. Whereas the defeat in 2015 had shown us a new level of Kohli, after the loss in 2019, much had changed. In the meantime, there was COVID, a lack of regular games, a century drought, captaincy controversies, and numerous challenges, and another World Cup had arrived... The batsman who had scored more than 11,000 runs and 42 centuries between the 2011 World Cup and the 2023 World Cup (where no one else had even scored 10,000 runs or 30 centuries in ODIs)... I'm not even talking about Tests and T20Is where Kohli has set countless records. Despite all this, the expectation of "Doing even better" from fans and Kohli himself is the true mark of Virat's success. This "excellence" has always defined Virat, which is why a boy from West Delhi, along with Basu Shanker, trained himself like Olympic athletes and influenced not just fellow cricketers but the entire nation's fitness culture.

💜𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 - 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩💜 Retired Police Dog Coty, a multi award winning five-year-old retired K9 officer from Kent Police (UK), is facing the fight of her life. Once among the UK’s top performing police dogs, Coty now requires a critical spinal operation costing £14,000 to save her from being put to sleep. Without the surgery, she will lose all mobility. Coty’s story is one of extraordinary service. From the age of 10 weeks, she began her career with Kent Police Tactical Operations and quickly distinguished herself with exceptional dedication. By 2021, Coty had already made a national name for herself - taking part in the G7 Summit in Cornwall, winning categories at the national trials. But Coty was more than a champion. She was a frontline asset in major operations - tracking down fleeing suspects across fields, through rivers, and even locating vital DNA evidence in violent crimes. Her tenacity led to multiple arrests and her bravery protected countless lives.. “She was fearless,” says PC Lisa Milligan, Coty’s former handler and now her loving owner. “She lived for the job - always the first to leap into action, to sniff out a clue, to stand between danger and me. Coty gave everything. And now… She can’t even stand properly on her own.” Coty’s career was tragically cut short in 2024 when her back legs began to fail. Initial surgery removed two cysts from her spine, offering brief hope. But just after Christmas, Coty collapsed again. Since then, she’s endured months of medical treatment and tests - but her condition continues to worsen. Coty now requires urgent and major surgery to stabilise her spine, at a cost of £14,000 and she needs your help to make it happen. As a young dog, she deserves to have this chance, and it’s the only one she has to realise any hope of a future. Please would you consider making a donation towards our special appeal for Coty. As a charity this is a challenge, but one we are determined to meet. We cannot do it without you, so any amount will make an enormous difference & we’d be so grateful. Thank you.. (The link below takes you to our JustGiving Campaign - or you can visit our website and make a donation there - simply mention Coty in the comments 💜) We’d be very grateful too if you could share this post.

$MONG OVERVIEW Intro: $MONG was the first meme community created by anti-crypto US Congressman Brad Sherman in one of the funniest speeches of all time. $MONG represents a meme-centric, pro-crypto movement in direct irony with Brad’s views. History: The MONG community formed in late 2021 after Brad’s hilarious congressional speech. The community grew exponentially and drew tons of attention across the web3 industry. Around this time, an established NFT company called META COLLECT decided to get involved and released MONGS NFT. The NFTs were an instant success, minting out in 16 minutes. Unfortunately, the original token the community rallied around was rugged by an anonymous dev who has since done the same to hundreds of other tokens. Instead of completely disbanding, the community rallied around Meta Collect and the NFTs. Meta Collect continued to work through the crypto bear market in 2022 & 2023 to bring value to holders, with plans to re-launch $MONG, this time supported by a doxed and reputable team. In mid-2023 they launched $MONG, which was an immediate success running up to a $240 million mc, second to only $PEPE in a mini-bull market. Bear market conditions followed market-wide, but the team and community kept working despite the usual fud due to prices decreasing. Over the past few months, significant development has occurred and $MONG is primed for a massive run in the next major bull market. Mongs NFTs(MONGS NFT): The NFTs were released nearly two years ago and have done over 2,300 ETH in volume on OpenSea. The release was a resounding success as they were minted out in 16 minutes in an extremely fair launch. Everyone who wanted to participate could – no gas wars, no doing backflips for a whitelist spot, and a low mint price. The NFTs pair perfectly with the MONG meme, including; crypto coins, hamsters, cobras, mongress backgrounds, and much more. They are genuinely on-theme and are a collector's dream with numerous, recognizable rare traits. The NFTs are a vital part of the MONG ecosystem and will be incorporated into Kudoe (KDOE) web3 game. There have also been multiple coin claims for NFT holders with plenty more coming. Credit to Jon Trafford for the excellent artwork on these! Mong Ordinals: The team was ahead of the curve on Bitcoin Ordinals and inscribed a collection of 420 Royal Mongs under 100k inscriptions! Check them out here: MONG X Spaces: Run by the best spacehost in web3 Rep. Ryan. Every week multiple official and non-official spaces drive excellent community engagement, especially considering we’re still in somewhat of a bear market. There’s a weekly AMA space where all updates are discussed and anyone can ask questions with @toolegitcypto, one of the founders. There are also numerous collab spaces with other exciting projects. Meta Collect: The team behind the entire MONG ecosystem, check them out here: They have an awesome IRL NFT art gallery. MONG Swap – powered by $COBRA: Safe and easy DEX, especially for those new to web3. Only well-intentioned projects are hard-coded into the swap. No more copying/pasting complicated contract addresses. Check it out here: MONG Pairs: The mong community is filled with talented individuals capable of starting their own projects paired with MONG. They are all easily acquired via Mong Swap. More projects will be added soon; here’s a brief list of current pairs/partners. $COBRA – Utility token for Mong Swap $HAMSTR – Degeneracy, community, NFTs $CONG – MONG community coin and DAO with a pro-crypto mission $CMON – Web 3 Casino, poker events. $KDOE – Web 3 Gaming $MING – Staking, scaling, NFTs MONG Anthem: Incredible meme anthem created by the talented 1MPROV.

BREAKING NEWS: Circle has announced that we are moving our Global HQ to New York City, building out a flagship space on one of the top floors of 1 World Trade Center, an historically important landmark in standing for American global economic leadership. Details below the video. I’m thrilled to celebrate this milestone with an event including leading financial industry firms, crypto industry leaders and policymakers. We are also sharing this announcement video that captures the moment and inspiration. Why is this important for Crypto, Circle, New York, America and the US Dollar? Since our founding, we have envisioned building a new internet financial system on the foundations of crypto – open networks, open source software, open protocols, decentralized and distributed infrastructure – and building on and expanding the capabilities of the largest and most important currencies in the world, starting with the US dollar. 11 years into our founding, that vision is coming alive in a tremendous and exciting way, with USDC now powering trillions of dollars of onchain transactions, with thousands of developers and applications building on this innovation, and with increasing legal clarity that digital dollars like USDC are new forms of legal electronic money that can be used widely around the world. As this technology explodes into the mainstream, and as Circle becomes a more and more important company and infrastructure for this new internet financial system, it became clear that we needed to plant our flag, both literally and figuratively, in the heart of Wall Street, in the most important economic center of the world, and in the great country of the United States of America. Many complain that the United States is not the right jurisdiction to build a company in our industry, and that the current government here remains hostile to this industry. I couldn’t disagree more. My view is that we are at a turning point, and that the US is about to become THE decisive leader in building and supporting this technology and financial revolution. We are an American Technology champion, and we want to demonstrate that the highest quality, the best run, the safest and the most powerful technology for the new internet financial system calls not just the US, but New York City, it’s home. Today, New York City is home to an enormous number of crypto firms that are leading and innovating in nearly every area of this industry. New York may have the most talent-density in crypto of any city in the world. It’s truly astounding, and we feel so privileged to join this thriving community of companies with a flagship headquarters in New York. After having originally founded the company in Boston, like many technology-driven companies, we have scaled out largely as a remote-first operation. Today, we span 36 US states and 14 countries, with a presence in many of the world’s leading cities including New York, SF Bay Area, Boston, London, Dublin, Paris, Singapore, Berlin, São Paulo, Taipei and more. And we are growing all around the world. But through this, New York has become a crucial nexus of talent, connectivity and a core location for where we convene. 1 World Trade Center is an awe-inspiring building. Its history is known to nearly everyone; this iconic tower, the tallest in the Western hemisphere, stands for freedom, strength, and a projection of America’s central role in the global economic system. Freedom Tower stands above the great pillars of the global economic system – Wall St., the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Federal Reserve, and more. Sitting on a top floor of the tower, Circle’s new flagship HQ is being built not as a traditional office, but rather as a powerful convening space, where we bring together all of our stakeholders to collaborate together, discover, and build the new internet financial system. It’s going to be an amazing and inspiring space that helps bring to life everything that we do at Circle. Today, we are celebrating this new HQ, joined in person in New York by industry, political and key partners who have been central to Circle’s growth and success. Join us virtually in this next phase of our journey. We are investing in New York. We are investing in America. We believe strongly that the infrastructure we are collectively building – this new internet financial system – will be the foundation for the next hundred years of global economic activity and coordination. 2024 has been a turning point year in crypto, a year when stablecoins started to truly breakout in scale, importance and usage. 2025 will be the year when this goes mainstream. As we open our new HQ to the world in early 2025, we will be thrilled to host and convene and see many of you there for this next phase of our collective journey in building a more open, inclusive, safer and efficient global economic system.

Britain installed its 7th prime minister in 10 years this morning, and for the first time in G7 history the man walking through the door of Number 10 is on record pledging to build a Web3 powerhouse. Andy Burnham took office at 10 Downing Street without a general election, appointed unchallenged by his own party. The man he replaced was forced out by his own MPs and left the doorstep saying my work is done. In a January interview that same man warned that removing him in 2026 would plunge Britain into utter chaos. His party listened carefully, waited for spring, then did it anyway. The route to power tells you what British democracy has become. Burnham quit the Manchester mayoralty, won a risky by-election on 19th June, re-entered Parliament within days, and was crowned Labour leader unchallenged on Friday after his only rival withdrew and endorsed him. Today, King Charles asked Andy to form a government. Between the by-election and the black door, no ordinary voter cast a single ballot on who runs the country. Five of Britain's last six changes of prime minister have now happened without a general election. Power in the world's oldest parliamentary democracy changes hands by party process, and the public watches it on television live. Absorb the churn. Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer, Burnham. Seven leaders in a decade, an average occupancy of about seventeen months, a turnover rate Britain once mocked Italy for. Starmer's landslide was only 2 years ago, won on 33.7% of the vote, the smallest share of any majority government since records began in 1830, and by January polled near 19%. Larry the cat, 15 yrs at #10, has outlasted 6 prime ministers and greeted his 7th this morning. The new one arrived pledging stability. The last one pledged stability on the same doorstep two years ago. The doorstep does not remember. To be fair to the machine, Britain has swapped leaders mid-term 11 times since 1945. The constitution is working as designed. What changed is the frequency. One layer nobody in Westminster is pricing. Burnham is the first G7 head of government with a crypto pledge on tape, telling a Manchester audience I'm bought in, promising to make Manchester the Web3 powerhouse that we want it to be. Before the champagne, the calibration. That record is municipal boosterism, not national policy. He has published no digital assets platform. The FCA's crypto rulebook is nearly final and its authors do not answer to him. And the twist worth savoring, he inherits a party that froze crypto donations to political campaigns in March after a review flagged foreign influence risk, and is now moving to make that ban permanent. The most crypto-friendly leader in British history arrives inside a system wired to distrust crypto money in politics. The deeper pattern is the inversion underneath all of it. The first G7 digital sovereign bond is scheduled for early 2027. The Bank of England's stablecoin regime goes operational the same year, complete with a 40 billion pound issuance guardrail per coin. British money is being rebuilt for the next fifty years by an independent civil service on decade-long clocks. The pound's plumbing now has a longer time horizon than the pound's politicians, and that is the quiet story of the age. The state is becoming more durable than the people who run it, and the money is becoming more modern than the politicians who sign for it. So the 7th prime minister begins, acutely aware of the churn, his aides say, and promising to end it. All six before him promised something similar. Maybe he is different. He has chased this job through two failed leadership runs and nobody doubts he wants it. The arithmetic keeps its own counsel. The digital money rails now being wired are designed to run for half a century. The average occupant of Number 10 this decade lasted seventeen months. Britain is building money meant to outlive its signatories, and this morning it watched another one arrive.

Burnham is the first G7 head of government with a crypto pledge on tape, telling a Manchester audience I'm bought in, promising to make Manchester the Web3 powerhouse that we want it to be. Before the champagne, the calibration. That record is municipal boosterism, not national policy. He has published no digital assets platform. The FCA's crypto rulebook is nearly final and its authors do not answer to him. And the twist worth savoring, he inherits a party that froze crypto donations to political campaigns in March after a review flagged foreign influence risk, and is now moving to make that ban permanent. The most crypto-friendly leader in British history arrives inside a system wired to distrust crypto money in politics. The deeper pattern is the inversion underneath all of it. The first G7 digital sovereign bond is scheduled for early 2027. The Bank of England's stablecoin regime goes operational the same year, complete with a 40 billion pound issuance guardrail per coin. British money is being rebuilt for the next fifty years by an independent civil service on decade-long clocks. The pound's plumbing now has a longer time horizon than the pound's politicians, and that is the quiet story of the age. The state is becoming more durable than the people who run it, and the money is becoming more modern than the politicians who sign for it. So the 7th prime minister begins, acutely aware of the churn, his aides say, and promising to end it. All six before him promised something similar. Maybe he is different. He has chased this job through two failed leadership runs and nobody doubts he wants it. The arithmetic keeps its own counsel. The digital money rails now being wired are designed to run for half a century. The average occupant of Number 10 this decade lasted seventeen months. Britain is building money meant to outlive its signatories, and this morning it watched another one arrive.

And that’s a wrap on First Stand !! Incoming “I ain't reading that, happy for u, or sorry that happened” post xD First Stand Gameplay - Was pretty happy with how the lane swaps and adjustments to Atakhan worked out. Don’t know the exact number), but it felt like mostly Ruinous with games of Voracious where it made sense and no lane swaps - There was a good amount of AD/AP squishy and tank mix in each role with omega gigachad Zeka pulling out the Sylas Ahri and Akali where it made sense 🙃 - Skarner and Kalista were the outliers on priority, but teams didn’t seem particularly effective with Kalista… - Skarner on the other hand; will discuss with the team about larger work on him when we get back; he’s too effective at too many things, while also being impotent for regular players - As announced yesterday by Greeley, we’re hoping to see adaptive drafts continue with Fearless for the rest of the year, I think diversity will continue to increase as teams get better at finding lines to draft that make certain counterpick/situational champs god tier after certain champs are out; it will evolve into more of a TFT/Chess style “find the optimal line to draft with the pieces given”, which the prospects are really exciting - An improvement point feels like how long it takes to end if a team gets a significant early lead; part of this is how optimal boringly slowly choking the opponent out is over 15 min, rather than changing the incentive structure so that ahead teams can make major decisive play and can end the game swiftly - Maybe an opportunity space for the future… but interested in hearing peoples’ thoughts on this First Stand Experience - It was amazing and inspiring seeing how many fans were coming out to support the teams without tickets - Not only the KC fans who flew from Europe to do a meetup watch party and it was great chatting to a few, but also what felt like an unstoppable number of college girls coming out to support HLE. I think I counted about 100 wearing HLE jackets on finals day, but it was a reminder of how integrated and mainstream popular League feels in the East - As soon as the entry to the cheerfuls (signs) opened, they all charged in to go and start drawing their cards, it was honestly quite shocking the level of dedication and enthusiasm that some of these fans had, but also awesome - I can’t possibly imagine something like that happening in the West… - We also had the honor to play in a mini Arena tournament with a bunch of LCK Legends that have I've been watching for 15 years and didn’t do too shabby; went 6th, 3rd, 2nd, but Mingyo and Sangho were too good… - It will be the first and last time I get to say I killed Pray, Smeb, Kuro, Madlife, Shy on repeat :D and the players watching on stream were surprised to see the Devs were actually pretty decent LOL, which felt nice - A fan came out specifically to play with Kuro, wearing a ROX Tigers jersey and seeing the joy of getting to meet and play with your hero, she was laughing, smiling, it must have been the time of her life; it’s just a reminder of how meaningful League can be and just makes us really inspired to keep working hard to make the game good Solo Q Experience and Balance - Outside of the work obligations, had some time to slam 20 Solo Q games; was pleasantly surprised by my level this time around, feels like I’m playing around solidly KR D2/D1 level, which is quite shocking, because it’s not like I’m Masters level on NA right now and haven’t been able to play more than 50 games in the last 6 months due to life. Probably would've won more if I wasn't such a kda player xD - Main character syndrome still feels really peak here, the person either goes 8-0 or 0-8 and is spam FF’ing repeatedly, so minimizing my enemy laner impact, scaling and playing defensively to support my jungler feels most effective even though I’m playing Ori who feels like a dog champ on this server, since it’s so hard to actually land QW on anyone due to their mechanics and it’s risky to walk in river and so easy to die to ganks - Moving to help jungler in lost fights to avoid mental boom is the only thing that I’m finding annoying, some of these fight selections feel extremely perplexing, like Zac wanting to fight Lee at first scuttle with no prio and I end up having to sac my lane half the time to prevent them from AFK’ing or soft inting because I didn’t move, it’s super annoying… - Every post game chat also feels like at least 3 players are writing their PhD thesis, which is somewhat amusing, but also really unfortunate… - It feels like Lee Sin or Viego are in every game with a 30% pickrate, so if you can prevent the team from throwing and always follow them around and play secondary, they can carry, whereas on NA, Lee Sins in Diamond can't carry and suck relatively (ping hurts as well), so it’s not like you can play around them reliably - It was interesting to feel again for myself just how different these champs feel in their balance state across servers, indeed in one of the press conferences there was a question about balancing decisions making no sense for the state of the champ on KR server. I can see why KR players get angry when we buff Lee because the other regions suck at him, he unironically feels 2-3% winrate stronger on KR server, same with Jayce who has a monstrous pickrate here as well - We even almost buffed Lee Sin for First Stand because he’s been pretty absent from Pro, so I’m actually not quite sure what we’re meant to do about that… - The other thing that I forgot was how good it was to play on 2ms ping. I’m not sure whether it’s net positive for the person dodging or the person hitting, but since I mostly play immobile mages, it feels like I can dodge line skillshots and range leash people more effectively, which makes Mages feel so much better, though it also means it’s extremely hard to QW tag someone in a teamfight as Ori, let alone hit them with R - I’m curious if any people have done any analysis on this - I also attached typical KR Lee Sin penta 😅 Anyway, back to NA tmrw, lots of work to do
