Oh man, thanks for the reminder
(lately I've been relying on that one Chrome extension to notify me of games, but I never check farther ahead than two days or so) Haven't had my fix of OGN (I've only tuned in for like one game in the various qualifiers they were having recently) in a while. EU LCS confuses me, and while I have hopes for NA's summer split... seeing the current top NA team still make awful baron calls makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Never change, Dignitas.AND OH MAN THAT SUMMONER'S RIFT VISUAL UPDATE the hype is real.

no replays but at least we got a karthus VU... (to be fair it was definitely needed though)
Also I impulse bought the new Nami skin and I think it's pretty nice. A little more sireny than I thought it'd be but it's all good.

That's good to know. I already get pretty bad FPS on ultra. I mean I don't know why anyone would play on anything other than lowest to medium settings to begin with just for performance's sake (even though it's League so it isn't that demanding to begin with)
Definitely was glad to hear about the steps they're taking to ensure performance on lower end machines. FPS lag shouldn't matter for me in a few weeks but I've taken a break from ranked recently not that i played it often + too busy anyways lol because teamfighting at 10 FPS can be ridiculous.

In my opinion, the LCS is kind of silly. If you watch the games, most of them are about which teams play worse. At the end of the day, I doubt any of the LCS team can take a single game off of teams like Samsung or Najin White Shield.
However, the LCS is about personality. Being from NA or EU and speaking the same language (I do not speak Korean) I feel I can connect with them more, so I still enjoy watching LMQ and CLG!
That's pretty much how I felt throughout the S4 spring split (I didn't really watch pro games until S3 worlds). People kept talking about TSM maybe being able to take a game off a mid/lower tier team in OGN by virtue of being the top team in NA for the majority of the spring split, and I just couldn't see it. Sure, there may be some extremely talented individual players in NA teams... but at least in OGN, the players need more than just individual skill to actually stay in the competition.
As for personalities... I don't think I'm all that familiar with any of the personalities from any region (though I fangirl over Piglet and Mandu sooo hard) ^^; Like... I associate imaqtpie with dongers, Doublelift with trash talk
I definitely share the enthusiasm for LMQ! Just learning about what they've given up and what they've had to go through riding on the hopes of making it into the NALCS makes it pretty hard not to root for them.

TSM now sucks pretty hard haha.
Well, I will elaborate further on the personality aspect. I follow the LoL subreddit often and so, with it being in English, we primarily get sources and information on the LCS players with occasional Korean aspects. Furthermore, interviews, tweets, and etc. are all English making them easier to follow for LCS players.
But yeah, I love CLG because I feel their personalities are pretty good (Aphrolift with kawaii Link + Seraph) minus Dexter I guess. Plus their (ognTSM) rotations taught by MonteCristo shines quite well in the LCS. And of course LMQ in addition to what you said, I am also in similar position with them in terms of immigration!
That's not something that I can easily get with the Korean players since I do not speak, read, or understand Korean to any extent so the vast majority of the Korean player fan information is unavailable to me! That is what I meant by personality, not implying that LCS personalities are in any way superior or inferior!

Oh no, I see what you mean xD And yeah, it definitely is easier to follow players when you can, well, follow them! My Korean is awful (especially since what little I have is mostly suited for communicating with grandparents, not following eSports) but it still helps a lot as far as following player personalities!
Man, they just... they just had to show that video about Bubbadub's background. I know so far that it doesn't seem like Complexity's going to find as much success as LMQ has in these early weeks of the summer split but I'm really rooting for them alongside LMQ and CLG. I find myself cheering for CLG for similar reasons, because one of my favorite parts of watching OGN is Monte himself. Then you have Doublelift's own background of pretty much leaving home riding on the hopes of making it big as a pro gamer, Aphro being a bro all around... yep.

I only caught the end. I was like OH MAN DIGNITAS ACTUALLY GETTING BARON... and then it ends up losing them, what, two inhibitors? Good stuff, I thought the back and forth engages/disengages towards the very end were rather impressive.
Three way tie for first place, three way tie for last place. Is this Europe? :'D

Blame C9 for losing to both of the bottom teams.
Bleh. Never liked watching SKT S's games; it always looked like they were drawn out to 50+ minutes (where Ziggs just laughs at you), and it felt more like they were drawn out not because both teams were very good, but more because both teams would routinely throw their small advantages to the wind.
Watching the VOD for the games now. Skipped ahead to K's match with Blue in the 2nd game. I remember one of my favorite moments from Champions Winter was Mandu buying Mejai's on Nami...
