- There's is no such thing as 'Aggressive player and Defensive player' They are just 'Better player and worse player'.
Apdo : "Casters can't outright call pros bad. That's why they created the term 'defensive player'. You can't play defensive if you have clear wide vision in this game. Look at Ning this final. He saw every kill chance he could get and committed to it. You call that aggressive? No it's just that he saw opportunities that bad players could not. There are no lunatics in Worlds stage that go for an 'aggressive' gank with baseless assumption. That kind of player can't reach Worlds. 'Defensive player' just doesn't have what it takes to see that kind of opportunity. It's all same for the laners. Aggressive players are just good enough to dominate opponents. Even when playing defensive role, good players play aggressively. You just naturally become aggressive if you're better than your opponent." - Cut the meta excuses.
"People say that this year's meta shifted to rewarding aggressive style more and that's why IG won. I say bullshit. They won because they were better. If you look at their laning phase, you can't give any excuse to meta. They just crushed every lane. And that's why Ning dominated the series. Just think about it. Every enemy laners has chunked of out hp. How can you not play aggressive as a jungler?" - Laning ability is everything of pro player.
Apdo : "Let's say there are two challenger teams. Team A destroys every laning phase but throws like crazy in mid game. Team A is ranked 6th. Team B just goes 50:50 but closes out the game with near perfect macro. Team B is ranked 1st. Which team do you think has higher ceiling? You can learn macro. It's extremely easy. You just have to listen to a good coach and that's all. But can coaches teach you how to dominate lane? If you ask me, I've always felt like laning is everything in pro scene. You just can't teach how to play in lane." - I knew TheShy was gonna succeed.
Apdo : "There were only 5 players that I felt the absolute difference before they went pro. Faker, Rookie, Ming, MLXG and TheShy. Look at them now. I could just feel that they were different way before they went pro. I've never felt that again from anyone since season 4. I think that's why LCK fell right now. No talents. Oh I think I semi-felt that from Chovy. Not quite the same, but he's decent." - Moojin? Nah
Apdo : "I feel like every Junglers have to adapt to the team when you go pro. I've never seen any team that solo laners change their style for the jungler. Doesn't matter how great the jungler is. It's always the JG that has to change their style to fit in the team." - KP, KDA, DD means shit.
