It's what happens when you give a talented editor a gold mine (both in content and salary). I remember Dom saying he gave editors 100% of YT money so it was their choice to grow the channel. Shout out to Jensen!
Reaction to a reaction, now we need Caedrel to react to Dom's reaction of his reaction and then Dom can watch the reaction to the reaction of the reaction and keep this going infinitely
Took me a few minutes to decipher that comment of yours. Avoid using words like "this" "his". And normally when using pronouns like you did, it refers to the already named individual (to not repeat the name multiple times or repeat same words multiple times within the sentence). Example: we dont say "caedrel played a game, caedrel lost" We would say " caedrel played a game, HE lost". Now this "he" is ofc refering to who's already been named.
been a fan since you were on curse and i have really been enjoying the increased content. i’m almost exclusively a youtube viewer and you and the rat are my go to content creators for league these days. i would love to see more videos like that one from you cause it was really well done and i think you have a lot of history and knowledge of the game
im all for dom making youtube focused content for a bit. I remember some of the stuff he did in the past like cut the western shit, and it was great content. I love watching the costream and podcasts, but he does have an skill for LOL content that is outside the typical stuff.
Ya like others saying, really enjoy this kind of Karl Jobst, Summoning Salt 10min+ video. Especially from someone such as yourself or LFN who are uniquely knowledgeable on the history and its nuances
This is what chat gpt said about the comparison between caedrel and IWD: 1. Playing Career (In terms of skill, impact, and performance): IWillDominate: Role: Jungle Region: NA (North America) Career Peak: IWillDominate was widely regarded as one of the better junglers in NA during his time. He was known for his strong decision-making and early-game aggression. In his prime, he was instrumental in shaping his team’s early-game strategies and dictating the tempo. Mechanical Skill: His mechanics were solid, though not considered the best in his region. His playstyle focused on making aggressive plays in the early game to create leads. Teams: Most notably, he played for Team Dignitas and Team Liquid. His tenure with Team Liquid is his most recognized period, where he competed at a high level and helped the team establish itself as one of the NA powerhouses. Major Achievements: Won the 2015 NA LCS Spring Split with Team Liquid, marking his peak success. Participated in multiple NA LCS playoffs but struggled internationally. Team Liquid, while strong domestically, was known for its failures on the international stage, particularly at Worlds, where they didn’t perform well. Overall Impact as a Player: IWillDominate's presence in the NA scene was significant. He was a high-profile jungler who could impact games with aggressive playmaking. However, his career had a downturn due to a ban by Riot in 2013 for toxic behavior, though he eventually reformed and became a role model within the community. Caedrel: Role: Jungle Region: EU (Europe) Career Peak: Caedrel’s career was more focused on being a consistent and cerebral jungler, with a deep understanding of the game. He wasn’t necessarily known for flashy plays or aggressive mechanical outplays but for his macro knowledge and ability to play around his team's strengths. Mechanical Skill: Caedrel was a solid player, though not among the top-tier mechanical junglers in Europe. His style was more about consistency and coordination rather than high-risk plays. Teams: Most notably played for H2k Gaming and Excel Esports. His time with Excel Esports was when he became more recognized, though he never reached the top echelons of European competition. Major Achievements: No major trophies to his name as a player. Excel Esports, during his tenure, was a mid-tier team in the LEC, not making deep playoff runs or achieving international success. Overall Impact as a Player: Caedrel was respected for his understanding of the jungle role and macro-game knowledge. While he didn’t win any titles, his game sense and leadership in-game earned him recognition within the European scene. However, he was never considered one of the top junglers in Europe during his time as a pro player. 2. Success and Legacy (Trophies, accolades, and contributions): IWillDominate: Trophies & Accolades: Won an NA LCS title (Spring 2015), which is a notable achievement. He was part of the core of Team Liquid during its ascension as one of NA's top teams. Internationally, IWillDominate did not achieve much, as Team Liquid and North American teams, in general, were often outclassed by European, Korean, and Chinese teams. Impact on the NA Scene: IWillDominate's style was impactful in shaping the early NA competitive jungle meta. His presence helped shape Team Liquid as a strong force in NA, though the team had a reputation for choking on the international stage. Controversy: IWillDominate’s legacy is slightly tainted due to a ban for toxic behavior during the early part of his career. This ban sidelined him, but after reforming, he worked to change his image and became a respected figure in the community. Caedrel: Trophies & Accolades: Unlike IWillDominate, Caedrel did not win any major titles. His career was more modest in terms of achievements, with no LEC titles or international success. However, he is respected for his cerebral approach to the jungle role and how he helped underdog teams like Excel Esports punch above their weight. Impact on the EU Scene: Caedrel’s impact as a player wasn’t as pronounced as some other junglers in the LEC. However, his understanding of the game and leadership skills made him a valuable asset to the teams he played for, even if they didn’t translate into big wins. 3. Post-Playing Career (Transition into streaming, analysis, and casting): IWillDominate: Content Creation and Analysis: After retiring in 2016, IWillDominate became a highly successful streamer and content creator. His insightful analysis, deep knowledge of the jungle role, and charismatic personality helped him build a large following on Twitch and TH-cam. Co-Streams and Podcasts: He’s known for co-streaming LCS matches, providing entertaining commentary with his unique personality. His analysis, while somewhat blunt at times, is widely respected in the community. He also runs the "The Crackdown" podcast with Thorin, interviewing prominent figures in the League scene. Personality: IWillDominate’s post-playing career success is driven largely by his personality-outspoken, controversial, but also genuine. He has built a brand around being an honest, sometimes harsh critic of the game, which resonates with his fan base. Caedrel: Broadcasting and Analysis: After retiring from competitive play in 2020, Caedrel transitioned into casting and analysis, quickly rising to become one of the most respected voices in the League community. He is a key figure in the LEC broadcast team and is widely praised for his in-depth knowledge and sharp analysis of the game. International Stage: Caedrel has gone on to cast at Worlds, which is a significant accolade for a former player. His ability to break down complex in-game strategies in a clear and engaging manner has made him a fan favorite in the casting world. Game Knowledge: Caedrel’s strength lies in his deep understanding of macro play and jungle pathing, making him one of the best analysts in the game today. His commentary is often filled with high-level insights that enrich the viewing experience for fans. Personality: While Caedrel’s personality is more laid-back and professional compared to IWillDominate’s, his wit and dry humor have earned him a large following. He’s widely liked for his ability to balance entertainment with educational content. 4. Overall Comparison: Playing Career Success: IWillDominate takes the edge here. He won an NA LCS title and was a more prominent player on a top-tier team in his region. His career had more high-profile moments than Caedrel’s, who didn’t achieve much success in the LEC in terms of titles or playoff finishes. Post-Playing Career Impact: Caedrel has arguably surpassed IWillDominate in terms of long-term career success and influence, particularly as a caster and analyst. His transition into broadcasting has been exceptional, and he is now considered one of the top analysts in the scene, with opportunities to work on the global stage (Worlds, MSI). Popularity & Influence: Both are extremely popular figures in the League community. IWillDominate has a massive presence on social media, Twitch, and through his content creation. Caedrel has grown into one of the most beloved analysts and casters, bringing high-level insight to a global audience. Final Verdict: As a pro player (on-the-rift achievements): IWillDominate had the better career with an NA LCS title and more success in competitive play. As a figure in the League of Legends scene overall: Caedrel has emerged as one of the most respected and influential voices in the League community, especially as an analyst and caster, which may give him a slight edge in overall long-term legacy.
Now we just have to wait for Doublelift to react to Dom reacting to Caedral reacting to Dom's video about TheShy. And we will have new juicy Drama. Can't wait.
The worst top to ever win worlds is Looper. Bro could do whatever he wanted the rest of the team was so cracked it didn't matter even if he picked a shit champ like Singed that can't do anything into meta picks like Ryze, Rumble, Maokai etc. because all he had to do was tp bot when Dandy/Mata told him to and they win for free, and that was indeed all he did. Gimgoon on the other hand would survive top against absolute fucking demons living off worms and dirt while Doinb and Tian won the game in botlane. The fact that players like Theshy couldn't convert their individual advantage against him into more means he wasn't nearly as bad as people make him out to be.
make some more vids about Players, maybe it just needs some starting vids and then they might blow up Or maybe on Casters aswell like Monte Cristo or Deficio and show them some love
Kinda weird that i havent played or wathed league properly since s4-6 and dom says the xpeke and i know exactly what he is talking about. Wonder if newer players do also tbh
after dom said he's down to do a caedrel vs IWD career face off. I went to go check cause i honestly had no idea wtf did caedrel play as and for what team since this guy just randomly popped up on my feed since the past 2 months. This guy is fkn washed in terms of tournament results... maybe i didn't see everything but from what I saw, basically he was good in the minor leagues. But once he was promoted to EU LCS he just kept coming in as 7th place until he retired to stream and cast.
this was a great video, i think it would be a waste of your vast knowleddge of league esports history to NOT make more like this, so much people joining the esport scene even in the last 3-5 years won't know
I’m glad that Dom is shouting out his editor. I think Dom has always had good editors, but it’s awesome to see him credit them.
fedmyster. aware.
facts.. and would love to continue to see this type of content from them!
Well that was before you know got lost in the sauce. To be fair.@@SaarlaneKretiin
I mean he might be a weirdo or whatever he did I don't remember but his editing was good @@SaarlaneKretiin
It's what happens when you give a talented editor a gold mine (both in content and salary). I remember Dom saying he gave editors 100% of YT money so it was their choice to grow the channel. Shout out to Jensen!
I honestly think that making this type of video for other proplayers where you highlight their peak and int moments would go hard
We need a Faker one for the ultimate Content Farm
For sure has to be on piglet
@@ph8808 the lore supports it haha
Yeah this was his best content by far. I prefer scripted IWD.
@@Odd_Techaion Faker video would be way too long
The mic quality change made the AI thing more believable. But the inflection was too good.
Reaction to a reaction, now we need Caedrel to react to Dom's reaction of his reaction and then Dom can watch the reaction to the reaction of the reaction and keep this going infinitely
And I would still be there to watch it🤣😭
Caedrel could had his camera froze for most of the reaction and it wouldn't change anything
This has more views than the original video lol
these creative documentary videos are great. maintain that passion, Dom
I love when Dom talks about LoL history, he's very passionate about it. I'd love to see more vids like this from him
Imagine in 5 years when this is a video essay channel like Gbay, and we all think about to Caedrel starting his path with a cursed bet

Super excited to see more videos that you take more time to produce!! I'm super happy you're doing this!

will say ... ig worlds skins are the best fucking e sports skins ever!
It's so weird, a character as popular as Kai'sa only has 1 skin after all those years i agree
I got IG Rakan as my very first skin and I didn't even know how lucky I got back then
been a fan since you were on curse and i have really been enjoying the increased content. i’m almost exclusively a youtube viewer and you and the rat are my go to content creators for league these days. i would love to see more videos like that one from you cause it was really well done and i think you have a lot of history and knowledge of the game
11:22 I'm pretty sure the call was made from whoever was in charge to add suspense and I actually kinda like that
I like that moment from a creativity/production stand point. TheShy was so close to winning, and the moment was amplified by top tier casting.
Can caedrel react to dom reacting to caedrels reaction to doms video on theshy
The shy reaction
i thought this was AI solely based on the fact that i never heard dom speak this ted-talk corporate style ever lmao
Can't be this gullible man
@@YourFavouriteDraugr i believe in EU man
@@crispybanana3198 🤣🤣🤣
im all for dom making youtube focused content for a bit. I remember some of the stuff he did in the past like cut the western shit, and it was great content. I love watching the costream and podcasts, but he does have an skill for LOL content that is outside the typical stuff.
I'm here for the banger videos! These are the best. Love the match/MSI preview type videos as well.
Some virgin jungler who gets his blue buff yoinked by aphro vs chad malza ult reset
This is actually IWD reacting to TheShy video by IWD - and it is even good, nice making of.
Man was expecting Caedrel to have a bigger reaction when he sees his clip. 10/10 Dom.
Ya like others saying, really enjoy this kind of Karl Jobst, Summoning Salt 10min+ video. Especially from someone such as yourself or LFN who are uniquely knowledgeable on the history and its nuances

Can't wait.
Yo dom, I'd really like to see your chat in these videos since you talk with the often. Makes it more fun for me.

15:58 Crazy how Caedrel basically predicted T1 3-0 G2 whilst everyone else was hyping G2 up
Absolute cinema xdd
Ya know after everything that's come out about the VCS it isn't that far fetched to say that IG just started throwing games for gambling reasons.
make some more vids about Players, maybe it just needs some starting vids and then they might blow up
Or maybe on Casters aswell like Monte Cristo or Deficio and show them some love
waiting for doublelift to react to this
He became a Minecraft player? Can't wait for the prison arc.
6:05 what the actual fuck is the cannon doing there LOL
that 2019 TL team was disgusting, miss those times man
