I do agree with Dom, they have so much star power that any adc would work (especially since Core carries the lane on his own). DL’s statement is very disrespectful to his team since they are ALL trying except for him. They need to bench DL, play Tactical and see how it goes. If they start to lose, then sub DL back in. It could be a Faker and Easyhoon situation IF Dlift swallows his ego and thinks about the team instead of himself.
Core JJ - World Champion Impact - World Champion Broxah - World Finalist Jensen - World Semifinalist Doublelift - never out of groups... not even quarters.
Holy the amount of on point, hitting nail straight in the head takes in the row Dom had regarding double was insane. I especially loved the one about league changing fast - caps, an already top5 (probably top3 even) best players in history of EU started playing in lec in 2017, so in 6 full splits so far (3 years) he won 4 championships, won msi, got to 2 world finals. That's better legacy than double got in 7+ years.
LOL125000 and yet still gets shit on for them even when they are perfect predictions. I don’t get why people just love shitting on Dom especially Reddit
Loco had some good points on the bad pathing from dardoch and the shitty maokai picks from bjerg and the not using bjerg enough. Also that bb has to get better at Splitpushing

I mean if someone doesnt want to play why would you force him to. It ruins the team chemistry, the DL doesnt perform that good etc. Makes sense. Surprised they have balls to do that, at the end of the day DL is the biggest LCS brand right now.
@@localhobo5362 sneaky is a huge brand also. didnt save him from getting replaced. orgs seem to have more power than single players. if its the whole team against the org, i guess they cant do that much, but when team mates side with the org, theres nothing a player can do, no matter the brand they own.
Dom is right. DLs attitude ruins it for everyone. Him saying it on air makes the whole spring feels shit for ALL players and viewers. If he doesn't wanna tryhard spring bench him..ffs
Yeah, and I¡m glad Steve and Dodo decided to put Tactical in the ADC roll this weekend. If DL want to really make a legacy of his game not only in NA but in the world of League, you need to grind out and work for it. If you don't want to do it, just let people that actually want to improve and be better step in.
Even T1 benched Faker before, so there is no player that should be bigger than a team and everyone should be at risk. If you play poorly someone that wants it more will take your spot.
@@AerrihnStreams Idk know about Scout but yea he got benched for Easyhoon (pretty sure they don't win Worlds that year otherwise) and for Pieran who was not better as a "player" but was apparently doing better for "teamwork" and synergy.
The benching of Faker for Easyhoon had nothing to do with performance, the coach just wanted to utilize substitutes more in best of 5s (or 3s) to get more unpredictable, help against tilt and being more able to adapt
Never compare an American to a Korean! 2 different mentalities. Doublelift is a cocky player who never delivers. Faker has won every possible tournament, he can say whatever he wants, that's why he is a league of his own. Dlift is just another NA pro, there is only 1 Faker!
How about one for them to clean their rooms, get a backdrop or something? They're celebrating getting their first sponsor and getting paid for the first time.

Really enjoying your Hot Takes Dom! You are just honestly saying what you think is Right without thinking what the peoples perception is. Really rare today. Keep it up!
2:17:29 "And that's why you watch Facecheck, and not The JLXP" Way to call me right out Dom; I switched to watching this episode of Facecheck because I was literally falling asleep listening to another episode of The Kien Lam Experience
D-Gainz here lookin hot with his tank. What a chad of a specimen he is. Look at him. Daniel could steal Loco's imaginary girlfriend and rehabilitate Dom's crack addiction with his muscles. Fucking daddy.
@@intifadayuri Its not his last name, its how he looks, and i as an argentinian (pls, lets aboid the 3rd world poor guy jokes for now) i can say pretty comfy, he looks like a fucking latino to me.
i said the same thing as dom on saturday in traditional sports the coaches always tell the players that they will always play the best team who cares and will work the hardest and play the best together bench his ego ass
I hard agree with Dom on this one. I don’t usually feel super strong about a lot of takes on this show, but dom is spot on. Any player on any team shouldn’t be able to talk like that, no matter how good you are, and still be treated like they’re immortal. Bench the dude. Give him a reality check. I was clapping whenever you were saying this stuff 😂😂
Tldr: loco has valid point - there are few players who deserve to be bigger than team, but dom is the right take - doublelift is not good enough to be such player. I'm 100% with dom on this one, but I see locos point. There are players who could be bigger than the team. But it's literally 2 or 3 guys in the whole scene and none of them are in na (I think it's perkz and faker who could have such pretty damn unhealthy status, also rekkles tried to get it/got it from fnc. And caps might deserve it. As for why - perkz can build his own team himself in his own/another org better than basically every gm, faker is obvious (and he hasn't used it, he got benched multiple times but I think it does have to do with Korean culture and coach-players relationship there), and rekkles unfortunately (because imo he is not good enough to deserve it) got it from fnc because it seems they chose to keep him every time there was conflict and someone left). So yes loco is right there are guys who could be bigger than team but dlift is not good enough (internationally speaking especially) to be such case.
I hyper agree that only a few players deserve to be bigger than the org they work for. Caps and faker yes. Rek doesnt deserve to be in that spot imo. If we say 3 players i would say 2016-2017 uzi but with his injury now and his play being not as clean not anymore
Dom's so right about the Doublelift not caring about situation. You are literally being paid a salary to win. To be openly say you dont care should be an issue.
I totally agree with Dom, Steve has to look at this in business standpoint. Benching Doublelift was the right call, give the guy that is giving his all vs someone that is only giving you 80-90%. At the end of day, running a team is base on logic not emotion. Tactical does what the team needs and everyone can play as a team. Sure Doublelift gets memed on but now he has to really fight for his spot. Negative, maybe he won't be good enough to rejoin the starter. Positive, we all get to see a better double then he was before.
Double gives like single digit % l0l hes proven like 100x he can go up like 5k gold in 10 mins in lane vs any trash NA marksman especially with a support like core... hes not even winning atm
Hai Nguyen it’s really simple: if tactical is going to perform better then he should play. Just because it’s Doublelift doesn’t mean he gets to half arse his job
@@SBWinner cuz it aint worlds it hasnt got the same prestige and i dont think there is even a prize pool idk man it just seemed like a less fun version of all stars and the pro players hated all stars cuz it took time away from practice and gave them nothing back granted u do get to scrim teams from other regions but thats it? idk seems like a waste of time for everyone
Yeah the problem with the client isn't other teams doing anything, it's that Riot Games probably has an extremely low priority on hiring people specifically for client-related development and maintenance since it doesn't directly lead to income. That's just how it be.
They've remade the client twice now. With all the games coming out from Riot it's in their best interest to having a team together to make sure the portal to their entire franchise is working properly.
Alexander Gregory and then their best player left because he was benched and lost trust in the org and said player difference decided the winner in last summer finals nisqy is better now but lets not reqrite history
regarding bang, the reason some people (including myself) rate him highly is because, out of the adc's (excluding tactical and apollo) , he has the second highest kda, and highest dpm, which are pretty much the two most important stats for an ad carry. and he does this while not having the most gold value which makes it a lot more impressive. it doesnt matter if you have subpar laning stats if your still doing the most damage in the league while also having the second least deaths.
1:20:50 good point Dom I was going to comment last episode about your same point that in a game such a basketball or league of legends with only 5 players on the field it is better to have a free flowing game instead of something like football where everyone needs to do a certain play in order to make the bigger picture happen. Something one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Bill Russel taught me
If you watch "Rebirth" (Which was the weekly series about Team Liquid in season 5) you can clearly see Dom talking with Steve, and Dom saying he wants Piglet in the team before Keith...
That 2017 spring split was so frustrating because if double would have just played and chilled, when it came to MSI and it was an ADC meta, TSM could have actually competed. Then he ended up playing for TL anyways. I’ll respect his talent as one of the greats but at this point in his career, if he leaves TL, I don’t know if a team should pick him up if he just wants to take splits off cuz he doesn’t care.
I really wish Loco wasn't apart of Face Check. Listening to him talk tilts me so hard. Not only is his lisp annoying but nothing he says adds value. Even when he has juicy info he drags it out and makes it far less interesting due to delivery.
38:30 Damn I agree with Dom. If the region improves and stays motivated as a whole, we would surely win Worlds. I doubt the best team SKT just stopped caring, there are just starved champions out there.
The biggest thing for Dlift v Tactical is its spring and if Dlift doesn't care then don't play and let someone who does play. If he is burned out let him chill and come back when he's ready to win.
Loco: "This TSM team cannot flank to save their life." What the fuck has he been watching? Flanking is literally the only good thing about TSM's mid-game so far.
I feel like "benching" double is a pretty win win situation. Cus if doublelift doesnt want to play spring, you cant force him right? So why not let him take a break and split time with tatical for spring
Since hearing Thorin go crazy in listen Loco, i can't unhear it. Locodoco that is unable to see and predict the groth of player and sees them in Boxes. It like every player is a stereotype and they cant escape it, even if its not true, but Loco is to doesnt to rearch. POE can play assassins for the rest of the split and for Loco he still "a froggen"....
I also have the app it tells you some stats in champ select too like as soon as your teammates and enemies lock in you can see who’s just getting on if their auto filled vulnerable laners, if the main is banned etc etc
The biggest thing this whole situation shows is how poorly NA is when it comes to giving Rookies chances. I mean ffs This Rookie AD destroyed a team that has "developed" talent and a bot lane that was considered to be in the top 3.
Loops sadly it’s the ideology of wealthy leagues. I’d love to see NA bring in some talent like the 3 major regions do, that was the whole point of upgrading academy.
Loco's combination of weird constant eye brow movements, his mouth being moved to the side, weird tongue noises and lisp just makes him the most awkward person ever lol. I usually don't like the word "cringe" and I hate how everyone overuses it but Locodoco is _actually_ so cringe.
I think there's a lot more general cohesion bc DL has always had a big voice in all the teams hes played in. You put in Tactical and he will just do his job and listen to calls. Tactical probably has no say in any decisions in game.
I’m with dom on DL benching. I just feel like since he’s said spring doesn’t matter the motivation isn’t there and it’s insulting to the fans that want to see TL doing well and disrespectful to his team that’s putting in the effort
Same thing C9 did to Sneaky and Jensen. DL needs it. That's MAD disrespectful to not only his team, but the rest of the League. Straight up insulting to those who are trying.
Dom went in to hard on this. Also MSI this year doesn’t matter, if it even happens. TL will not win LCS without double this year, tactical is serviceable and able to carry a lead (game2) but game 1 he was down nearly 20 cs by 9 minutes with no jungle interference, current C9 will shit on him and and international games Current TL (with either dl or tac) have no chance but dl on form they do have a shot.
Steve is not Jerry Jones. Steve has a lot of influence in the team like that of Jones, but Jerry Jones is a horrible owner. He may have won when he first bought them, but he has no success now. The Cowboys look like garbage and Jones does not have the balls to push the reset button like Steve did two years ago.
Theo Andrén the thing is that test from what? He’s not doing solo que... he played 2 pro games on the weekend. What does he need rest from ? Being egotistical? There was a week where he was recorded only playing 5 solo que games in a week ... bronzies play more than that . He doesn’t need “rest” he needs an ego check
@@ROSPoetry1 what if Leena breaks the bank for him? I've been saying this relationship is completely unprofessional from the start and its potential scenarios like this that are problematic
Benching doublelift will be the best thing for tl right now. Make him work for that spot. His ego is so messed up he needs to rethink his place, especially because he is on one of the best teams the lcs has ever had. Give him a second chance when he gets his attitude in (face)check

Silver boys bashing Eboy loco again, how refreshing
Dont watch then pussy.
I like the contrast between Azael saying stats are misleading and loco judging players purely off stats
38:30 Damn I agree with Dom. If the region improves and stays motivated as a whole, we would surely win Worlds. I doubt the best team SKT just stopped caring, there are just starved champions out there.
i love watching these thnx dom for the amazing content
6:10 crack delivery
25:58 good one
The biggest thing for Dlift v Tactical is its spring and if Dlift doesn't care then don't play and let someone who does play. If he is burned out let him chill and come back when he's ready to win.
Loco: "This TSM team cannot flank to save their life."
What the fuck has he been watching? Flanking is literally the only good thing about TSM's mid-game so far.
Will this be on Spotify?
Dgon reacting to Loco’s analogies is killing me lmao
0:36 loco flexing muscles he’s never had
Also he will never have
I feel like "benching" double is a pretty win win situation. Cus if doublelift doesnt want to play spring, you cant force him right? So why not let him take a break and split time with tatical for spring
Since hearing Thorin go crazy in listen Loco, i can't unhear it. Locodoco that is unable to see and predict the groth of player and sees them in Boxes. It like every player is a stereotype and they cant escape it, even if its not true, but Loco is to doesnt to rearch. POE can play assassins for the rest of the split and for Loco he still "a froggen"....
I like Dom's mindset on how players aren't more important than their team, if they think they are go win 1v5 see how it goes
I saw IG benched their world mvp jungler Ning when he was not in shape. I don't see why not doublelift.
I also have the app it tells you some stats in champ select too like as soon as your teammates and enemies lock in you can see who’s just getting on if their auto filled vulnerable laners, if the main is banned etc etc
The biggest thing this whole situation shows is how poorly NA is when it comes to giving Rookies chances. I mean ffs This Rookie AD destroyed a team that has "developed" talent and a bot lane that was considered to be in the top 3.
Loops sadly it’s the ideology of wealthy leagues. I’d love to see NA bring in some talent like the 3 major regions do, that was the whole point of upgrading academy.
Loco's combination of weird constant eye brow movements, his mouth being moved to the side, weird tongue noises and lisp just makes him the most awkward person ever lol. I usually don't like the word "cringe" and I hate how everyone overuses it but Locodoco is _actually_ so cringe.
About if MSI matters or not, 2015 FNC and 2018 G2 showed up big in MSI and went to be great team in worlds
I totally agree with absolutely everything Dom said on the Doublelift situation
I think there's a lot more general cohesion bc DL has always had a big voice in all the teams hes played in. You put in Tactical and he will just do his job and listen to calls. Tactical probably has no say in any decisions in game.
13:25 well we had mikyX and Lord Hampus (promisQ) and the whole wrist injury stuff and a lot of subs for uzi a.e.
This feels like the most braindead episode of facecheck and I love it.
doblelif is too pampered
Congrats on the sponsor Dom
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait... You're telling me that swapped in Apollo? Holy fuck, i thought that was seriously Altec on the rift.
I unironically want a caster tierlist, here's a start:
S: captain flowers, quickshot
I’m with dom on DL benching. I just feel like since he’s said spring doesn’t matter the motivation isn’t there and it’s insulting to the fans that want to see TL doing well and disrespectful to his team that’s putting in the effort
Same thing C9 did to Sneaky and Jensen. DL needs it. That's MAD disrespectful to not only his team, but the rest of the League. Straight up insulting to those who are trying.
Jatt didn't have Doublelift at 2 thats a lie. Kobe had him 2nd team on The Dive and gave his reasoning. Don't throw Jatt under the fake bus like that.
does this mean lord Mr Humble can sub in for wiggily ?
Tanktop Master should learn a thing or two from our boi Loco
actually couldn't agree more with dom on all his points about DL.
Dom went in to hard on this. Also MSI this year doesn’t matter, if it even happens. TL will not win LCS without double this year, tactical is serviceable and able to carry a lead (game2) but game 1 he was down nearly 20 cs by 9 minutes with no jungle interference, current C9 will shit on him and and international games Current TL (with either dl or tac) have no chance but dl on form they do have a shot.
Steve is not Jerry Jones. Steve has a lot of influence in the team like that of Jones, but Jerry Jones is a horrible owner. He may have won when he first bought them, but he has no success now. The Cowboys look like garbage and Jones does not have the balls to push the reset button like Steve did two years ago.
Who have more gains :loco or vedius?
google zjokzius and you will see that vedius has more gains. slightly better bone structure too imo.
WTF is Loco at 1:07:35 "talking like Dardoch" XD
Why are loco's noodles out?
Loco bringing out the wife beater again
Honestly TL should keep tactical as long as they keep playing well. Let DL rest take some time of then hopefully he will get his form back.
Theo Andrén the thing is that test from what? He’s not doing solo que... he played 2 pro games on the weekend. What does he need rest from ? Being egotistical? There was a week where he was recorded only playing 5 solo que games in a week ... bronzies play more than that . He doesn’t need “rest” he needs an ego check
and they can sell him to one of the teams that needs an ADC upgrade (like GGS or something) for summer
Imagine: Doublelift leaves TL after his contract ends and his gf tells Regi to suck it up and they bring DL back to TSM. Some real spice incoming
UNIT557 I was thinking the same thing while driving listening to this. But I don’t see it happening. He isn’t Jensen.
@@ROSPoetry1 what if Leena breaks the bank for him? I've been saying this relationship is completely unprofessional from the start and its potential scenarios like this that are problematic
Then tsm wins again
Benching doublelift will be the best thing for tl right now. Make him work for that spot. His ego is so messed up he needs to rethink his place, especially because he is on one of the best teams the lcs has ever had. Give him a second chance when he gets his attitude in (face)check
