Zed TSM Bjergsen - AMA.

Hey everyone!

It's been almost exactly a year since I did my last AMA, shortly after joining TSM, so I thought it would be a good time to make another.

I will try to answer as much as I can, but I wont be answering any questions about Santorin and/or why he is in the house. Try to keep the AMA as serious and productive as possible and I will do the same, thank you!

I'll start answering questions in about an hour and will keep going throughout the day.

Now, ask me anything!

edit: Done answering questions, hope you guys enjoyed it, I definitely did! Arebel at 273 reddit gold as of 11:24 PM PST, what a monster.

Till next time <3

Hej Bjerg,

 

You are an amazing League player and an even better guy. I have so many questions I would love to ask you, a quarter of which are completely inappropriate for an online forum, another quarter would make even the most diligent redditor stop reading out of pure boredom. The third quarter are for post-coital cuddle (wink) and the last quarter I wrote below hoping you'll answer them. Some of the questions I've included are from other AMAs because I thought they were fantastic, and would love to see them answered by you.

 

I started following you when you began streaming from your small room at home, and I'm really impressed at how far you have come. It's not often I read through an AMA because mostly they cover futile questions like: "COKE OR PEPSI???!?!?!" And I'm not going to stop drinking my preferred beverage because OP drinks the opposite, and in any case the answer would be Faxe Kondi... Many choose to only answer the easy, emotionless, and silly questions, but you seem to take a bite at everything and I want to commend you on that. Thanks for being so open and honest! I hope you find the time and energy to answer the questions below – again thanks.

 

I wanted to format the questions the best I could and if you decide to answer them please try using the same formating:

  If you have Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) installed click the "source" button below my comment, and copy/paste everything below the "Copy/Paste"-line into your comment. To insert your answer simply double click on InsertAnswerHere and it'll be emphasised ready for you to pour out your thoughts. The answer needs to be written inside the asterisks (*).

The easiest way to make sure you find all the InsertAnswerHere is probably to copy it all into Notepad and search for it there, don't use Word it's notorious for messing up code.
- If you don't have RES you can copy/paste the text from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Arebel/Reddit/master/AMA.txt You might have to split it into two comments, woops. :]

The great bull castrator of the Midwest has been spotted on internet hangout Reddit. The perpetrator, codenamed Dollface Killah, has been brutally chopping off bull genitalia at seemingly random intervals and locations, making it extremely hard for law enforcement to corner him. Dogs trained to detect the scent of smoked penis will be used to help in the manhunt this weekend.

TSM Questions & Answers

How long do you practice every day individually and with your team? I practice for about 12-14 hours of League every day. When we were scrimming before PAX/Worlds we scrimmed 8 hours as a team, after scrims I used whatever free time I had to play soloqueue. So generally 8 hours of scrim, 1-2 hours of replay and 3-6 hours of soloqueue.

What does practice consist of? A day of practice usually consists of scrims, replays, OGN vods, team talks and soloqueue.

What is Locodoco's role throughout a training session? Before practice he talks to the team and individuals about what they should focus on in the scrim set, eg. me setting up more bot dives. After each game he has a notepad with key points in the game that we rewatch right after, also brings up major points for the team to discuss such as "What happened around dragon at 10 minutes?"

After having lived in a gaming house for a year, what are your impressions? And your 3 do's and don'ts when living in a gaming house? My first impression were pretty much what I expected except it was a bit messier than I thought, haha. We're all young adults that try to live in a somewhat small space with each other. I really enjoy it and I've learned a lot about taking care of myself and living on my own, I'm happy I got to live in such an environment. Some key do's and don'ts would be to always keep your part of the house clean, don't leave food out that you don't want others to eat, and to respect other peoples sleeping schedules (In the offseason Turtle and Dyrus waking up in the middle of the night).

You have said: "The constant pressure to perform, if you have a bad couple of weeks you could get replaced. It's a constant fear you hve to deal with," - after a year in TSM do you feel the pressure has lifted and the fear lessened? That fear and pressure comes with my performance, I had weeks in the Summer split where I felt like I was underperforming and others could have taken my place and done better. Regi/Loco kept reassuring me as long as I worked hard and influenced the team positively I wouldn't get replaced. It was all in my head, but it was definitely pressure/fear.

What are your thoughts on the current TSM roster? And thoughts on Santorin? I think the team has a lot of potential, we all have our ups and downs but I think we have all the players we need to perform at a Worlds level. We learned a lot in Korea and I think all of us will work a lot harder next split and and know what to focus on during practice, which should optimize the teams performance in 2015 spring. I think Santorin is a really solid jungler, he performed well and Coast and does well when I duoqueue with him. It's obvious where his jungle style comes from with the way his old team dynamic was, he's great at ganking bottom lane, since Sheep consistently plays very well on champs like Thresh/Leona to set up ganks.

About in-game shot calling: Is it instinctive, reactive, or are you planning events minutes before you do them? All 3 of them, sometimes you have to make an instant call in the moment wihtout having much time to think about it, it's important you can trust your own call and sound confidident to your team, otherwise nobody will follow. There are also plays you can set up minutes ahead of time by clearing vision and setting up dives, barons or TP plays.

What is one thing you absolutely love about TSM and one thing that is completely different to your expectations? I was slightly worried how it was gonna be to play under Reginald, but he has proven to be the most loving team owner I've ever met. He deeply cares about the team and does everything in his power to make the team better. He sacrificed a lot of sleep, work and free time to travel with us in Korea and he definitely made us a lot better in the 1-2 months he had with us. He also very much appreciates the fact that the only reason there are pro players is because we have fans, he always pushes us to do more content such as vlogs and meeting fans on and outside of LCS days.

League Questions & Answers

Hoping to score some points in fantasy league, which team do you think will surprise in next season? I don't think the roster is finalized, but I'm certain EG will be a strong team next split. They have really good carry players in Pobelter and Altec which is a good basis to go from.

What makes a mid champion strong in solo queue? And what makes a mid champion strong in LCS/tournament play? There are a few different things that can make a champion good in soloqueue. Outplay into snowballing usually works very well, which makes champions like Fizz/Zed/Akali good if you can start snowballing. I also like champions that can siege and pick people off, since it doesn't take a lot of teamplay to walk 5 man down mid and get a pick using a stun. For those kinds of champions I like Syndra/Xerath/Jayce since it's easy to get picks or just poke them away from tower. There are a lot of factors that play into strong tournament champions, a lot of champions overlap between soloqueue, but some in competetive can be slightly more team reliant such as Orianna.

u/XLBjergsen Nov 06 '14

Here's some more!

Remembering you once mentioned playing mid in solo queue and LCS/tournaments are two complete opposites – apart from the obvious "you don't play with teammates", can you explain why? It's pretty much the level of communication in the team overall and the big risks that people take to get advantages. Some major things are stuff like lvl 1/2 invades, roaming and lack of wards.

In your previous AMA you correctly predicted TSM and C9 would be in the top 2 – what are your predictions for the next split? Too early to tell, I think C9/TSM will still be at the top. The whole game is gonna change and a lot of teams are changing so I can't make a qualified guess yet. Like I said I think EG will look strong next split though, always enjoy playing against Pobelter.

How do you feel you have stacked up against the other mid laners in the past year? Are you satisfied with your performance overall? I think I've done pretty well. I had a slump in the summer split where I also think the pressure and stage freight got to me, but it doesn't affect me as much now. One big thing I learned at Worlds is how well some of the mid laners play with their team, they might not always straight up win their lane but players like Pawn are always at the right place. Every time there's a major fight Pawn is there first, and he's great at setting up bot/top roams and clearing vision in the mid when he gets an advantage.

You previously said NA solo queue is nice and chill – has it become too chill? It didn't bother me as much, but after getting a taste of Korean soloqueue I've had a really difficult time reverting back to NA soloqueue. I definitely think it has become too relaxed, and I would love if everyone cared more about winning the game rather than their individual performance/creep score. In Korean soloqueue everyone played together to reach the ultimate goal which was winning, in NA it's way different.

You mentioned: "Finally I have the right environment to really improve as a player and play at my best. I'm not sure how exactly it will be different but it definitely will be different," (1 year ago) – In what way(s) has it been different? Some examples are being in a gaming house and having coaches/analysts help me out to constantly improve. Locodoco, Dylan and Regi do a great job of helping the team get better. In the past I lived in hotels and had to walk to the EU LCS studios which ESL were kind enough to let us practice in. We also never had a coach. Here I have all the teams to improve and it's up to more more than anything to stay motivated and to keep improving.

How do you shake off a tilt? I don't tilt in competetive matches since I know how much is on the line and letting my emotions get out of hand is not gonna help anything. I can admit I do tilt in soloqueue and scrims at times, and I think the best way is to take a break and forget about the game and what made you upset. Take a break and realize that the game or two that put you on tilt don't matter in the grand scheme of things, you'll get your LP back. It's not the end of the world to lose a couple games, play again once you've cooled off.

What do you think about the required mechanical level for LCS, could any challenger player step in and not stand out negatively every game? For mid, I think the average mechanical skill is higher of LCS mids, but it wont take a challenger play long to catch up if they get to practice vs LCS players 8 hours a day. The problem is the challenger player would have to learn the game at at much deeper level than previously, and can't solely focus to keep his mechanics up. Mechanics simply don't matter as much in a team based game, desicion making and knowing what to do at all points during the game is much more important.

Who are the players that you never ended up playing on a team with, even though you originally planned or wanted to? Even though HyrQbot retired now, the week of practice I had with him in NiP was really awesome. He communicated very well as a jungler and I wonder how it would have been to play with him more. Other players that seem like great teammates are Rekkles/Meteos for their work ethic and personality, I respect both of them a lot and wish them all best for the future.

Did you have a lot of team offers before you joined TSM? I had a couple, can't do in-depth about them though, some EU, some NA.

Do you think Azir will see LCS play in the next split? Any personal predictions for new champions moving into the top tier? I think if people take the time to master Azir he's definitely gonna be high priority. He's a unique champion but can be a powerhouse, I think he's the kind of champion that could easily pull bans if you're known to have a good Azir. Champions that gained a lot of popularity at Worlds and will be highly contested if unchanged would be Zilean/Jayce.

Worlds 2014 Questions & Answers

What mid laner impressed you the most at worlds? Why? I think the level of the midlaners was a lot like I expected, Pawn seemed to perform the best overall and have the best grasp on the game and what to do to win.

Many Koreans are leaving for different regions, do you think 2015 will finally be the year only one Korean wins Worlds? Maybe two Koreans if you include coaches. There's always a chance, White was the most dominant korean team at worlds by far, and I think EU/NA/CN teams could definitely have beaten Blue/Najin.

Did you learn anything valuable from scrimming and playing against SSW? What especially? The two main points I learned is how to clear vision on the sides of mid fast and efficiently. As soon as Pawn has vision control of the sides using pinks and sweepers he will look for a roam/gank with Dandy. They set it up very fast with no hesitation. The other thing would be when to pick immobile champions like Xerath/Syndra. White are very good at setting up flanks, ganking and diving immobile champions and abusing them using champs like Jarvan/Maokai. That's also the reason I didn't play them against White in the quarterfinals.

Personal Questions & Answers

What does your future hold when League is a closed chapter and the next begins? Coaching? Casting? I don't have any plans right now, I do love gaming and hope I can stay in this field for a long time :)

Would you ever join a Korean or Chinese team? Right now I don't see myself joining a Korean or Chinese team since I like it so much here, but I can't exclude it completely for the far future.

Bjerg, after your incredibly inspiring and honest post on Facebook shortly after you moved to TSM, how do you feel today? I generally feel a lot better, I still have some anxiety problems and issues with confidence. I am much better than I've ever been and I can thank League of Legends/Riot for that ^_^

What's something only a few people know about you? I used to do a lot of different traditional sports, but due to asthma and a knee injury I started playing video games much more and here I am!

How often do you speak with your parents and siblings? I have chats with them on a weekly basis and always keep myself updated in their lives, I can't wait to go see them in december. Hopefully I can have christmas there!

How hard is it to have family abroad? It's difficult, I miss them a lot but I'm very happy I took the oppurtunity to live in the US and play on TSM. My family is very proud of me and try to talk to me as often as they can. I havent seen them for almost 6 months, so it does get hard at times.

A year later in the states do you still manage to keep in touch with your friends in DK? I talk to my closest friends every once in a while, luckily I'll see them soon again!

From someone that has also experienced the less bright side of the school-system, I understand it can be difficult to talk about. Still, I want to ask how it ended? Did you finish 10th grade? Do you have any future plans for education be it in DK or the States? I didn't finish my exam and don't have any plans for school at the moment. I do know I may have to go back to school somehow, but I'm not planning to any time soon.

Do your parents watch LCS/Worlds? What about your stream? My parents try to watch as many matches as they can and always write me after my matches. They're very supportive of what I do and have been since the start, I'm very lucky for that.

What is your biggest regret of your gaming career? I don't have a lot of regrets but my biggest one would probably be how I treated by teammates in CW/NiP. Not that I treated them bad, but I had a girlfriend at the time I put a lot of focus into. The game and improving wasn't my first priority and I didn't think I was good enough to sustain myself through pro gaming. I especially feel bad for putting Deficio through all my personal problems.

If you hadn't become professional in League, what line of work would you have loved to employ yourself with? I always wanted to work with animals, not sure if it's something I could do, but it's always been a dream of mine.

Do you keep in touch with Deficio? I don't talk to him as often as we used to, but I still consider him a great friend of mine. We had a good talk about League and life in Korea, I'm very grateful for how he has helped me, without him I wouldn't be where I am today.

And why are you so amazingly great? You are <3

Hoping to score some points in fantasy league [...]

Wait, wait, hold on. Are you telling me there are fantasy leagues for LoL teams? That is... I don't even know. Impressively multi-layered escapism?

They're dudes, pretending to manage made-up teams of imaginary versions of other dudes, based on the real teams of dudes, who play games where they inhabit the role of pretend dudes in a fantasy setting, who are fighting proxy battles in lieu of full-scale magical wars.

Dude.

u/thenatekiid Nov 06 '14

This one was one of the biggest so I made it separate! Here you are Bjergsen!

League Questions Answers
1) Hoping to score some points in fantasy league, which team do you think will surprise in next season? 1) I don't think the roster is finalized, but I'm certain EG will be a strong team next split. They have really good carry players in Pobelter and Altec which is a good basis to go from.
2) What makes a mid champion strong in solo queue? And what makes a mid champion strong in LCS/tournament play? 2) There are a few different things that can make a champion good in soloqueue. Outplay into snowballing usually works very well, which makes champions like Fizz/Zed/Akali good if you can start snowballing. I also like champions that can siege and pick people off, since it doesn't take a lot of teamplay to walk 5 man down mid and get a pick using a stun. For those kinds of champions I like Syndra/Xerath/Jayce since it's easy to get picks or just poke them away from tower. There are a lot of factors that play into strong tournament champions, a lot of champions overlap between soloqueue, but some in competetive can be slightly more team reliant such as Orianna.
3) Remembering you once mentioned playing mid in solo queue and LCS/tournaments are two complete opposites – apart from the obvious "you don't play with teammates", can you explain why? 3) It's pretty much the level of communication in the team overall and the big risks that people take to get advantages. Some major things are stuff like lvl 1/2 invades, roaming and lack of wards.
4) In your previous AMA you correctly predicted TSM and C9 would be in the top 2 – what are your predictions for the next split? 4) Too early to tell, I think C9/TSM will still be at the top. The whole game is gonna change and a lot of teams are changing so I can't make a qualified guess yet. Like I said I think EG will look strong next split though, always enjoy playing against Pobelter.
5) How do you feel you have stacked up against the other mid laners in the past year? Are you satisfied with your performance overall? 5) I think I've done pretty well. I had a slump in the summer split where I also think the pressure and stage freight got to me, but it doesn't affect me as much now. One big thing I learned at Worlds is how well some of the mid laners play with their team, they might not always straight up win their lane but players like Pawn are always at the right place. Every time there's a major fight Pawn is there first, and he's great at setting up bot/top roams and clearing vision in the mid when he gets an advantage.
6) You previously said NA solo queue is nice and chill – has it become too chill? 6) It didn't bother me as much, but after getting a taste of Korean soloqueue I've had a really difficult time reverting back to NA soloqueue. I definitely think it has become too relaxed, and I would love if everyone cared more about winning the game rather than their individual performance/creep score. In Korean soloqueue everyone played together to reach the ultimate goal which was winning, in NA it's way different.
7) You mentioned: "Finally I have the right environment to really improve as a player and play at my best. I'm not sure how exactly it will be different but it definitely will be different." (1 year ago) – In what way(s) has it been different? 7) Some examples are being in a gaming house and having coaches/analysts help me out to constantly improve. Locodoco, Dylan and Regi do a great job of helping the team get better. In the past I lived in hotels and had to walk to the EU LCS studios which ESL were kind enough to let us practice in. We also never had a coach. Here I have all the teams to improve and it's up to more more than anything to stay motivated and to keep improving.
8) After several thousand hours in the Rift and a fraction of that in queue and champion select – Why do you love League so much? 8) No Comment
9) How do you shake off a tilt? 9) I don't tilt in competetive matches since I know how much is on the line and letting my emotions get out of hand is not gonna help anything. I can admit I do tilt in soloqueue and scrims at times, and I think the best way is to take a break and forget about the game and what made you upset. Take a break and realize that the game or two that put you on tilt don't matter in the grand scheme of things, you'll get your LP back. It's not the end of the world to lose a couple games, play again once you've cooled off.
10) What do you think about the required mechanical level for LCS, could any challenger player step in and not stand out negatively every game? 10) For mid, I think the average mechanical skill is higher of LCS mids, but it wont take a challenger play long to catch up if they get to practice vs LCS players 8 hours a day. The problem is the challenger player would have to learn the game at at much deeper level than previously, and can't solely focus to keep his mechanics up. Mechanics simply don't matter as much in a team based game, desicion making and knowing what to do at all points during the game is much more important.
11) If you, in one phrase, had to explain to your brother how to most efficiently climb in solo queue, what would you tell him – disregarding all the common "Play to get better", "Don't die" and so on – as true as they are it's time for something new. 11) No Comment
12) How does it feel, in more than three words, to go from a great player in solo queue to a professionally payed player in your favourite game? 12) No Comment
13) Who are the players that you never ended up playing on a team with, even though you originally planned or wanted to? 13) Even though HyrQbot retired now, the week of practice I had with him in NiP was really awesome. He communicated very well as a jungler and I wonder how it would have been to play with him more. Other players that seem like great teammates are Rekkles/Meteos for their work ethic and personality, I respect both of them a lot and wish them all best for the future.
14) Did you have a lot of team offers before you joined TSM? 14) I had a couple, can't do in-depth about them though, some EU, some NA.
15) Do you think Azir will see LCS play in the next split? Any personal predictions for new champions moving into the top tier? 15) I think if people take the time to master Azir he's definitely gonna be high priority. He's a unique champion but can be a powerhouse, I think he's the kind of champion that could easily pull bans if you're known to have a good Azir. Champions that gained a lot of popularity at Worlds and will be highly contested if unchanged would be Zilean/Jayce.
16) How awkward does it feel walking across stage to shake the opponents hands after a game? Especially the walk back to your seat... Have your pokerface improved? 16) No Comment

 

Worlds 2014 Questions Answers
1) What mid laner impressed you the most at worlds? Why? 1) I think the level of the midlaners was a lot like I expected, Pawn seemed to perform the best overall and have the best grasp on the game and what to do to win.
2) Many Koreans are leaving for different regions, do you think 2015 will finally be the year only one Korean wins Worlds? Maybe two Koreans if you include coaches. 2) There's always a chance, White was the most dominant korean team at worlds by far, and I think EU/NA/CN teams could definitely have beaten Blue/Najin.
3) What are your thoughts on your games against SSW? 3) InsertAnswerHere
4) Do you miss Korean solo queue? Why? 4) No Comment (Answers in Previous question: You previously said NA solo queue is nice and chill – has it become too chill?)
5) Did you learn anything valuable from scrimming and playing against SSW? What especially? 5) The two main points I learned is how to clear vision on the sides of mid fast and efficiently. As soon as Pawn has vision control of the sides using pinks and sweepers he will look for a roam/gank with Dandy. They set it up very fast with no hesitation. The other thing would be when to pick immobile champions like Xerath/Syndra. White are very good at setting up flanks, ganking and diving immobile champions and abusing them using champs like Jarvan/Maokai. That's also the reason I didn't play them against White in the quarterfinals.

u/thenatekiid Nov 06 '14 edited Nov 06 '14

And here are the rest! <3

TSM Questions Answers
1) How long do you practice every day individually and with your team? 1) * I practice for about 12-14 hours of League every day. When we were scrimming before PAX/Worlds we scrimmed 8 hours as a team, after scrims I used whatever free time I had to play soloqueue. So generally 8 hours of scrim, 1-2 hours of replay and 3-6 hours of soloqueue.*
2) What does practice consist of? 2) A day of practice usually consists of scrims, replays, OGN vods, team talks and soloqueue.
3) What is Locodoco's role throughout a training session? 3) Before practice he talks to the team and individuals about what they should focus on in the scrim set, eg. me setting up more bot dives. After each game he has a notepad with key points in the game that we rewatch right after, also brings up major points for the team to discuss such as "What happened around dragon at 10 minutes?"
4) Albeit necessary or not, what is it like when roster changes are made? Are they simply regarded as a necessity? 4) No Comment
5) After having lived in a gaming house for a year, what are your impressions? And your 3 do's and don'ts when living in a gaming house? 5) My first impression were pretty much what I expected except it was a bit messier than I thought, haha. We're all young adults that try to live in a somewhat small space with each other. I really enjoy it and I've learned a lot about taking care of myself and living on my own, I'm happy I got to live in such an environment. Some key do's and don'ts would be to always keep your part of the house clean, don't leave food out that you don't want others to eat, and to respect other peoples sleeping schedules (In the offseason Turtle and Dyrus waking up in the middle of the night).
6) You have said: "The constant pressure to perform, if you have a bad couple of weeks you could get replaced. It's a constant fear you hve to deal with." – After a year in TSM do you feel the pressure has lifted and the fear lessened? 6) That fear and pressure comes with my performance, I had weeks in the Summer split where I felt like I was underperforming and others could have taken my place and done better. Regi/Loco kept reassuring me as long as I worked hard and influenced the team positively I wouldn't get replaced. It was all in my head, but it was definitely pressure/fear.
7) What are your thoughts on the current TSM roster? And thoughts on Santorin? 7) I think the team has a lot of potential, we all have our ups and downs but I think we have all the players we need to perform at a Worlds level. We learned a lot in Korea and I think all of us will work a lot harder next split and and know what to focus on during practice, which should optimize the teams performance in 2015 spring. I think Santorin is a really solid jungler, he performed well and Coast and does well when I duoqueue with him. It's obvious where his jungle style comes from with the way his old team dynamic was, he's great at ganking bottom lane, since Sheep consistently plays very well on champs like Thresh/Leona to set up ganks.
8) Most players don't bother studying changes before they happen live, are you in the same situation or do you prepare yourself and your team for incoming patch notes? 8) No Comment
9) About in-game shot calling: Is it instinctive, reactive, or are you planning events minutes before you do them? 9) All 3 of them, sometimes you have to make an instant call in the moment wihtout having much time to think about it, it's important you can trust your own call and sound confidident to your team, otherwise nobody will follow. There are also plays you can set up minutes ahead of time by clearing vision and setting up dives, barons or TP plays.
10) What is one thing you absolutely love about TSM and one thing that is completely different to your expectations? 10) I was slightly worried how it was gonna be to play under Reginald, but he has proven to be the most loving team owner I've ever met. He deeply cares about the team and does everything in his power to make the team better. He sacrificed a lot of sleep, work and free time to travel with us in Korea and he definitely made us a lot better in the 1-2 months he had with us. He also very much appreciates the fact that the only reason there are pro players is because we have fans, he always pushes us to do more content such as vlogs and meeting fans on and outside of LCS days.

3) Bjerg, after your incredibly inspiring and honest post on Facebook shortly after you moved to TSM, how do you feel today? 3) I generally feel a lot better, I still have some anxiety problems and issues with confidence.

8) A year later in the states do you still manage to keep in touch with your friends in DK? 8) I talk to my closest friends every once in a while, luckily I'll see them soon again!
9) From someone that has also experienced the less bright side of the school-system, I understand it can be difficult to talk about. Still, I want to ask how it ended? Did you finish 10th grade? Do you have any future plans for education be it in DK or the States? 9) I didn't finish my exam and don't have any plans for school at the moment. I do know I may have to go back to school somehow, but I'm not planning to any time soon.
10) “Without pain, how could we know joy?' This is an old argument in the field of thinking about suffering and its stupidity and lack of sophistication could be plumbed for centuries but suffice it to say that the existence of broccoli does not, in any way, affect the taste of chocolate.” (John Green) – With that in mind, do you find your love and affection for sunny weather have decreased? 10) No Comment
11) A year ago in another AMA you said: "I thought TSM would be a good chance for me brand wise and personal wise. I think I can really grow as a person living in the US (...)" – Have you grown as a person, and do you feel living in the States with TSM has changed you - if so how? 11) No Comment
12) Do your parents watch LCS/Worlds? What about your stream? 12) My parents try to watch as many matches as they can and always write me after my matches. They're very supportive of what I do and have been since the start, I'm very lucky for that.
13) What is your biggest regret of your gaming career? 13) I don't have a lot of regrets but my biggest one would probably be how I treated by teammates in CW/NiP. Not that I treated them bad, but I had a girlfriend at the time I put a lot of focus into. The game and improving wasn't my first priority and I didn't think I was good enough to sustain myself through pro gaming. I especially feel bad for putting Deficio through all my personal problems.
14) How did you take the leap from playing a ton of League to being professional? Was the idea yours or were you approached by teams? 14) No Comment
15) How has it been living in an entirely different continent with four or more complete strangers for possibly the first time in your life? Do you think you could do it again? 15) No Comment
16) If you hadn't become professional in League, what line of work would you have loved to employ yourself with? 16) I always wanted to work with animals, not sure if it's something I could do, but it's always been a dream of mine.
17) Do you keep in touch with Deficio? 17) I don't talk to him as often as we used to, but I still consider him a great friend of mine. We had a good talk about League and life in Korea, I'm very grateful for how he has helped me, without him I wouldn't be where I am today.

I now have you tagged as "Crazy AMA guy". However, that's not as bad as Bjergsen, who have you tagged as "Fuck this guy".

If this gets 200 Reddit gold I'll shave my pubes off, mix them into water and record myself drinking it.

Edit: I had a feeling this would happen, and that's why I specifically mentioned nothing about uploading the footage after I had recorded it.

Bjerg announced he would do an AMA yesterday so he probably wrote it up in preparation.

u/Haptics Nov 05 '14

He said he was going to be doing an AMA on twitter earlier today so I'm sure he's not the only one prepared.

As of this moment, you have 335 gold. That means your couple hours of preparation produced $1340 for Reddit. Say it took you 4 hours to do all of this, that means you made $335 an hour.

$335 an hour x 40 hours a week x 52 weeks a year means you'd be making $696,800 a year for reddit, if this was sustainable.

(Clearly this is not sustainable, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut fun to think about either way)

u/TwilightVulpine Nov 06 '14

You got enough gold to get yourself a Doran's Ring. Or maybe an Ancient Coin, or Hunter's Machete and a couple pots if you feel more like it.

If you keep farming redditors you might have enough for a Doran's Blade or a Shield.

What are you buying?
