Monte is having the time of his life. Its like Thorin is his personal comic and hes just sitting there soaking it all in. Great show, love Thorin in this setting!
honestly he seems genuinely happy to be back doing something LoL related. Also him and thorin do get along very well irl so why is this surprising? Let the LoL caster jesus have some fun god damn yal cynical or young af and dont know what this man did for KR LoL along with doa.
Monte is likely coming back, at least partially. Before this he did summoning insight earlier in the year. He's obviously interested in coming back to some capacity.
@@Quibblies Riot blacklisted him, destroyed his company, burned him with every esport scene they could and tried to paint him as the devil. It'd take a fucking lot to get monte back considering he works on a scene where everyone loves him and doa.
Monte and Doa will always hold a special place in my heart. I started watching lck after worlds s3 to watch skt play. And i only watched skt games for a while, then eventually I started watching all the games just to listen to doa and monte cast. :/ it really sucked what happened to monte.. and when they left I was really sad.
It's kinda crazy how well Thoorin manages in this format. Being a league only fan you forget Thorin is a professional esports host, not a random dude with a jacket in his room with a Froggen/Forgiven fetish
I want to thank C9 for bringing the cheddar and making this show possible. This is such an amazing throwback and just incredible content on its own. Absolutely lovely, totally what this worlds (and any worlds, really) needs. Thanks!
love the combo of monte, thorin and loco. Individually I wouldn't watch their content but they bring a nice balance as a trio. And PLEASE, get dom back on the show asap. It made for great discussion.
Proper analysis and breakdowns with the right questions from Monte. Loco trying to make sense of the games, Thorin throwing jokes and ripping on loco + TSM. man it feels like 2015 casting and it feels good.
Thorin is not everyone's cup of tea but in a vaccum he's a great host and a fun personality. I'd let Thorin roast me all show for the laughs. I think he's great especially with Monte and Loco as a combo.
Loco is honestly great, he has such dumb takes but at the same time he is obviously knowledgeable about the game; Dordin being there to call him out in an entertaining way and parlay that into a debate with Monte really sells this trio. It's also great when an animated and confident guest comes along and, like MarkZ, is happy to join in on the fun.
What a blast this show has been! Hope they bring more cool guests. I miss Monte so bad, he's just better than anyone else at talking about games I guess
@@11DaltonB I really don't think that's what he meant, since before that he said "you don't become sick at random" (paraphrasing from memory, can't watch right now).
@@Demicore Yeah he was saying they are European its not like they got sick while travelling or anything. And then said you have to take care of your body. Also said "if you're sick you're sick" unfortunately thats just the bottom line they don't postpone Worlds because 1 person is sick lol. You just deal with it and play your best because its the biggest tournament of the year.
Good show! Suggestion; The guys are looking, pointing at and discussing some off-camera graphics; let us see what they are. You don't have to make them super-pretty.
I'm pretty happy with Faker's performance this Worlds. I agree with Monte that the game has changed so much that its now almost impossible to hard carry the game so we'll probably never see the Faker of old. After watching SKT all year, Faker to me has become a great team player. He now has such good teammates around him that he doesn't need to carry so hard anymore. He won't always pop off, but he'll always be consistent. SKT's not perfect, neither are they dominant anymore, but they are still a very good team that can match the best in the world.
Just goes to show how complex the game is and how dumb fans are for reacting to anything, really... How can you analyze a player's performance when Pick/Ban decides half of the game and when an ADC sneezing at 4:53 while CSing might cause a butterfly effect that makes the Top laner look boosted/godlike?
Picking Vlad into aatrox and then going klepto instead of phase rush puts you in a way worse spot ( TL vs DWG), if you look back on the game in many instances with phase rush Vlad could have escaped and also be a safer pick
Also I think why people didn't put a TL player in top 20 is because when they put Bjergsen or Doublelift in the list in past years they didnt make it out of group and kinda choked. Which would be kind of a poor excuse to not put someone in.
I feel the same as Thorin with Loco's best player in the world joke. It took a second and I was like "Of shit that was a good joke" but the timing was missed
I have Splyce last in my pick ems, I used this logic: I've seen lowkey and HKA play in play ins. J Team is higher seeded than HKA and GAM higher than Lowkey therefor they should be better. Based on what I've seen from Splyce that made me think J team is 2nd and GAM might be 3rd in that group. If Loco had any logic he could've used this as well to defend his point lol
this is a very bad sign for tsm. giving equity to a player who is on your org or who you are sponsoring is normally done when the org is very small in comparison to its competitors, and they need to give the player more of a reason to choose them. I believe this type of situation happened when under armor was looking to sponsor certain basketball players and they had to give up equity in order to keep the players from going to nike. Except... tsm is the one of, if not the biggest league org in the west, they have hurt their name by stooping this low (imo)
TSM branded itself under the image of being the legacy/winning team and now it’s been almost 2 years of failure by their and the fans’ standards. You can only imagine how much it hurt their fanbase, thus revenue. If TSM lets Bjerg go into the waiting arms of more than half of the LCS’ teams they not only lose their strongest player and voice, but their branding and image as a whole. We can only speculate if it was a forced move from TSM or Bjergsen, but honestly both parties avoid a high-risk scenario by doing this. If Bjerg goes somewhere else and fails (plenty more young european mid lane talent), he is out of pro scene. Look at Lakers’ fanbase now compared to when Kobe was on and they were a winning team to further understand my point. Adding to that point, LoL teams are not based somewhere (LA Lakers, NE Patriots, etc.) making the fanbase even more volatile than they already are. Much rather have 95% of a 225 mil USD company than 100% of a 150 mil company in 2 years time.
Monte is having the time of his life. Its like Thorin is his personal comic and hes just sitting there soaking it all in. Great show, love Thorin in this setting!
hahaha thought the same
@Andres-Johan Oja To each is own I guess ^^ I dont like or disslike Monte im just here for the Thorin show
thorin - "breathes"
Monte - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Man's got a case of the giggles.
The Jimmy Fallon approach
He has to be drunk. Someone should add Tidus laugh track to this shit. It would actually be less annoying.
Pretend Monte's the only one there
honestly he seems genuinely happy to be back doing something LoL related. Also him and thorin do get along very well irl so why is this surprising? Let the LoL caster jesus have some fun god damn yal cynical or young af and dont know what this man did for KR LoL along with doa.
Monte seems genuinely happy analyzing League again. Hope he comes back one day.
There's very close to 0% chance he does any contract with riot unless they're willing to give him big $$ and thatd fine fuck riot you bootlickers
Monte is back? On summoning insight with the boys !

I've been really impressed with him on here. Funnier than usual and like you say, he's actually a really accomplished host
I remember back in the day as a league fan when he was just that guy that did really good interviews.
THANK YOU CLOUD 9 FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN
4th - these guys are legitimately awesome and their interactions show it. No fake BS
omg amazing timing, i was just looking for an older episode to watch when i saw that a new one came out 10 minutes ago :D made my night
I want to thank C9 for bringing the cheddar and making this show possible. This is such an amazing throwback and just incredible content on its own. Absolutely lovely, totally what this worlds (and any worlds, really) needs. Thanks!
love the combo of monte, thorin and loco. Individually I wouldn't watch their content but they bring a nice balance as a trio. And PLEASE, get dom back on the show asap. It made for great discussion.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm idk about dom.
Vladimir Pavlenko your opinion is invalid
@@jiliel7887 yeah yours is
Vladimir Pavlenko good one
@@mayerdynn Dom actually called alot of the stuff that happened in the first round of the round robin.
Good to see friends have fun. Much love from EU
Monte, thank you for gracing us with your return!!! (also for the all time stats, little sad total games wasnt up to give more context but I'll live)
"You know why they're worth millions cause C9 is actually at worlds where TSM will never be again, they're rubbish" Boom thanks for coming
Loco actually did a great job this episode!
Wow the production budget has really skyrocketed. Lol.
Got those sponsors
If only they could light up the studio properly and have the colors not look so washed too. They all look like they’re sick lol
What do you mean? None of them look sick. Are you implying that light skinned people look sick?
@@monstersamongus4747 its the back ground color being grean. Wtf wrong with u lol
PLEASE DON'T END THIS SHOW AFTER WORLDS!!!! This is great, and these three have amazing chemistry.
Man, I'm dissapointed that Loco didn't wear his signature tank top!
Proper analysis and breakdowns with the right questions from Monte. Loco trying to make sense of the games, Thorin throwing jokes and ripping on loco + TSM. man it feels like 2015 casting and it feels good.
this is the most wholesome fun show ever love Monte perma laughing xD
SKT T1 Talks starts at 53:00
Tbh the best talkshow ever
THANK YOU C9 PLEASE KEEP THESE GUYS THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER
They are having fun chatting, I am having fun watching who came up with this great idea? :P
Thorin about 5 years ago. Still the single best league podcast series ever made
This show finally made me come around to liking thorin. .... that chasm comment had me rolling. i am a fan of thorin now.
That ''FNC sick'' comment was also gold rofl. He really should do stand up comedy
Kaozman an esports standup comedian holy shit
He can be grating for sure but he is so quick coming up with jokes and similes it’s great

@@LGinux never gave him a chance. cause im turned off by his voice. But i've moved passed that.
I'm so goddamn happy that monte is at least a bit back in the LoL scene
Really appreciating this content, much more fun and casual than rito content
Hahaha Thorin is so brutal during the memes section. 😂
Loved MarkZ's more uninhibited takes, great show!
SKT Mid: You'll be sure to drop wards and keep my lane secured.
SKT Jng: No... *Begins to lift.*
SKT Mid: *Backs off*

It's also great when an animated and confident guest comes along and, like MarkZ, is happy to join in on the fun.
Might want to color correct future episodes looks pretty off, loving the episodes.
KappaChino Thooorin doesn’t wanna reveal the actual colour of his face
I think it's just the background marble colour being a bit too green, casting some weird light on Thorin's true white marble face
This is a very refreshing show
No timestamps??
Return of Summoning Insight
Tbh Nemesis has been playing really well and he definitely got underrated.
I appreciate that they have so much chemistry. Makes it a joy to watch. Good to have monte back in my life
Just found this alternative reality with Markz on Summoning Insight with ma boiz Monte and Thorin, legendary xd
What a blast this show has been! Hope they bring more cool guests. I miss Monte so bad, he's just better than anyone else at talking about games I guess

Perfect ending to the TSM segment loool absolutely roasted
This combo is epic ! Monte and Thorin back , locos actually cool now
Lmao, 52:16 Monte was absolutely shocked to hear what Loco said
He is like" theres no limit to locos stupidity" loooool

Intro was 10/10

This show makes worlds 2x better
please have time stamps
Great show, love the content and their sinergy is simply on point. 9/10 (only shoes with Dom get 10/10)
sick! love this show!!!
WAIT WHEN DID THIS START BACK UP?! How many have I missed I thought this ended years ago my dudes
why did group D play 1 extra game??
@insightonesports pretty sure you have the date recorded transposed with episode 81
here's the reference at ~54:39, for those wondering: clips.twitch.tv/MagnificentPluckyCucumberFrankerZ fucking hilarious
@1:30:00 Loco: "There is a bar to reach Worlds"... That bar is: you have to be better then TSM...
So did they just not do one today?
Probably the best lol content geez this is good
Great episode as always, would appreciate more serious discussions tho
Im such a Loco fanboy, watching him just makes me so happy xD
Yay new episode!!
Impact as GP lost control after xmithy inted at the enemy red buff, try playing against the shy after that...

No
Loco Logic: Just don't get sick 4Head
these are hype
you watch league of legends?
isn't sword playing because he's close with griffin front office or something like that?
Thorin is such a great personality
Great content !
If Summoning Insight was a League team it would be SKT for sure.
Remember lustboy? Wasnt loco his translator lol? I remember the first time I heard loco talk back in the day.. lawl.

Listen I love full production but you literally can't have summoning insight without having grog at the end its like an unspoken tradition.
Monte should do a guest appearance in GSL host some sc2 for the funs
Is it me or does the lighting make them all look like they have jaundice?
