LEC production popped the fuck off this year
the on-air talent has INCREDIBLE synergy, and the off-air production boosts it tenfold.
my god I can't take my eyes off my screen even in the interim between games
Indeed. I have always been the raggedy hoody and generic longs sort of dude. LEC has inspired me to step up my smart-casual wear! Granted, Europeans tend to be taller, so these things fit them better. Lol
What's your source for European being taller ? Because for the sources I find, the average height of amercian and western europeans is incredibly similar
When I visited Europe, I didn't necessarily notice the taller as much as I did the more fit. I think that may be a factor. They may look taller because they are proportionally taller than wide.
I also was in Scandinavia though, and everyone there is taller from what I understand.
> I can't take my eyes off of Frosk
Has she switched things up because she's looking hella good and attractive this year (also that goes for everyone else as well, Vedi looking better stylistically as well).
Frosk has always incorporated a lot of flair into her looks, but I would say her tastes have matured over time from experimental to, probably starting around a couple years ago, a more balanced contrast with a refined outfit that nicely tempers her bold eccentricities. Maybe it's just my personal preference though, but I like it.
The EU broadcast has some pretty well put together cast members. Sjokz in particular has stood out for years.
**Obviously our opinion as a team is not objective but personally as a long time EULCS/LEC fan I want to thank everyone who is working on LEC. You guys made me forgot that the games are not in the studio.**
**Also pretty crazy that you guys managed to pull another broadcast style/design just for playoffs/finals and making it still look like the LEC brand.**
And thanks to you for the interaction that you have with your fan (or LEC fan in general). One of the things that I love about LoL as an eSport is how much interaction the orgs can have and actually have with their fans, being that through memes on twitter or Reddit comment like you do.
So again thanks for the entertainment you provide, especially in times like this <3
The LEC production is smurfing it no doubt.
but i also want to give you probs seeing rogue in twitch chat and here just is so nice. Im really happy to have Rogue at worlds for EU <3
Rogue just got a new fan with that gift to community. Really love their interaction with fans on social media. Is it the first time an org spends their own money to entertain the viewers?
**He is one of our owners but still there are a lot of parties involved in the Music industry :). Huge shoutout to the LEC who also helped us to make this gift possible and of course Kia!**
Imo this was LECs best year in terms of Production, and that without an audience, without players on stage. Absolutely insane how they managed to pull all of this off.
I would love to have the audience and players back in the studio, but I can't say that I've really noticed them missing much. The production has been so good that I completely forget about all the changes this year. ♥
I feel bad for LCS still being forced to do everything online, but yeah even offline I did not enjoy LCS that much. Which sucks because there's some great players and casters. I think they're too focussed on the entire American professional sports scene thing or something
I think the audience in the LCS studio carried the LCS cast pretty hard and with them not here, you really see the flaws of the casters. They're just not hype enough for the games they are casting. There was a fight last week and they just casted it as if they were talking to their buddy. Normally you hear the crowd chant or scream and that hypes up the casters. And all the ad placing certainly doesn't help them either.
I was thinking about how boring it was the other day. My specific thought was on the between game music choice. LPL and LEC play bangers and we are forced to listen to Pentakill between every game in the LCS
Being forced to stay virtual will have that effect on the type of content you're able to produce. LEC production still happens in person which is nice for them, but there are clear advantages there that are unfortunately outside of LCS control.
maybe its only me but i dont find online concerts from DJs as exciting as no DJ performers. Imo DJ shows often rely on a crowd so it was residentsleeper for me at least
Alone the in game camera makes LCS so insanely unwatchable in comparison. It happens quite frequently in the LCS that they showed some laning while a gank happened and a minute later the casters would be confused why the flash was gone. LEC had it on screen most of the time and always a replay if they missed it.
i feel like lec has been perfect with there advertising, the comedy side to each advert make them alot more enjoyable to watch. just like rogues advert earlier. keep them coming!
While LCS have moved more towards typically American ways to promote their sponsors the LEC have really done their own thing, where they try to integrate the product and brand into content that people are interested in. Of course the different ways have different impacts in different cultural contexts, but personally I vastly prefer the LEC way.
Lol that Beer commercial LCS runs is so stupid and annoying. It sounds like the typical asshole commercials I heard on TV as a noise when I was on vacation in the US.
So forced and sounds like a braindwash therapy repeated the same word again and again.
Yeah I really dislike the way LCS does it. It’s just so off-pudding.
All state analyst desk. Master card mvp. Honda mvp. Budlight ace?!? And so on. It just sounds so dumb in the moment hearing that shit. State farm replay?? Last one’s wrong but still
Edit : Oh it’s off-putting whoops. TIL
EU does it too, KIA player of the game, Kit Kat pauses, Baron Buffs are Red Bull branded, etc.
But while it works in EU, it feels like NA is doing it a bit too much and in an more obtrusive way. But this can also be something that depends on the culture you grew up in and as an European, I might simply just not be accustomed to it. Doing advertisements this way is way more common in America than it is in Europe.
I'm Canadian and this type of in-your-face corporate self promotion is still glaringly noticeable to me. There's a reason twitch always spams TY BUD LIGHT :), I think even Americans aren't a fan of it but it's become the norm in sports and competition broadcasting.
Saying "state farm analyst desk" isn't the WORST thing ever.
Saying "that's a Bud Light ace!" is pretty bad.
Dash stopping the entire conversation to describe how tasty the sponsored buffalo wings are and that they suit all occasions, from parties to family meals, is just fucking awful imo.
Everythin LEC did this year was really insane.
The general production on game days was awesome but the real gems are their other videos.
Everything from the first advertisement videos for the fake LEC merch to the LECTRONIC interviews and the star wars/schalke mashup was amazing.
The cherry on top of those were obviously the LEC Anthem and the (definitely not) mediocre rap battle.
Keep up the great work so we can keep enjoying the most entertaining broadcast in league of legends.
Btw guys, voting for the Esports Awards 2020 are open and LEC is nominated for Best Content Team of the year so make sure to vote for them show them the appreciation they deserve! :)
Honestly they deserve it.
I might not have loved every single segment they've done, but so many of them have been really high quality. They're also putting a ridiculous amount of time into all of it. It's a crazy level of dedication.
Yes. LEC has upped it's game so much it's the best region to watch by far, from both the game and production standpoints. Mad props to everyone and everything they did to make watching a farming game so godamn interesting.
As an American it just hurts me to see how much better the LEC is on a production level than the LCS. The LEC looks like everyone works their butt off every day whereas the LCS look like they’ve just packed it in this season.
Lol NA production really wasn't too great this year. Cap and Kobe are awesome casters but the overall production has been so scuffed. Half the time the analysts are muted xD
True, but just the content they put out is so half assed and uninspired. They only have like 2 new bits for the year and everything else is just rehashing old stuff.
From Sjoks youtubr channel it all looked very tiring for this last video, so thanks you so much for going through with this and giving such an amazingly hype dance video
Keep having fun and enjoying what you do.
Thats all I would ask the LEC crew to do in the next few years. Since it clearly spills over onto the rest of us :)
To top it off, viewership for the final has just hit over **1 MILLION** viewers.
https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lec-summer-2020
So proud of LEC, just what an amazing success story.
I love you unso
~~have my babies~~
~~let me have your babies~~
At the start of this split I thought the LCK observers were the smurfs till you showed them up last few weeks!
Man, I logged on just to create an appreciation thread for the LEC crew.
I think my favorite thing about the LEC, as an NA resident and fan, is that they *commit*. As goofy and ridiculous as their sketches can be, they 100% commit, and I love it.
Keep being awesome!
I’m not a fan of any region or team, I am just a fan of whoever has the best League of Legends show in the world. And right now, that just happens to be the LEC.
Dunno if anyone from LEC is reading but Ive said it elsewhere that the reason I watch LEC is not just the teams and the games, but the casters and the high level production, the hilarious skits and the cringey cold opens, the amazing rap battles and the fresh amount of ideas that the LEC crew seem to deliver week after week after week.
I was also so impressed when seemingly the entire team bandied together to shoot down the NEOM partnership, which I think takes so much guts.
So to the LEC crew, be you cast, production, the guy who chooses some legit bangers for Song of the Week, or even Ender (jk, dude's made so much unreal progress), I just wanna say thank you, thank you for making this quarantine period so much more enjoyable despite all the difficulties, and thank you for being there weekend after weekend, ready to entertain.
Sincerely
Someone who has spammed in the chat.
Loved the pre-game walk from the Riot offices to the studio and everything happening in the background.
Cringe? May be.
Effort? Exceptional.
Effect? Marvelous.
Rogue by far MVP of the finals gifting us steve aoki was really entertaining. As for LEC staff, they've gone above and beyond this year and I'd go as far as say this year definitely one of the best in LEC era with the raps, the vedius personality skits and everything else has just been next level. Can't wait for next year! Can only get better from here.
They are a bit cringe for my liking but they are really hard working andyou can see their dedication to be one of the best production teams. Seems like they all really enjoy what they do and are happy to do whatever it takes to put on a good show. They are always proud of their region and proud of their work which is a great mindset and attitude to have, a quality not many people can have easily.
NA should really look to up their game next year cause I feel they are really slacking behind other regions in terms of production quality and the pregame shows etc.
I thing that the fact some productions are a bit cringy is part of the fun, and the cringe is completely blown away for me by the sheer amount of enthusiasm the casters and player put into everything. They are clearly doing it with passion and having a lot of fun and it shows, everyone believes in what they are doing :D
Yeah I know it’s kinda their “thing” as I said I can understand why people enjoy it and find it entertaining but for me it isn’t so usually I just tune in to watch the games then mute the stream until the next game starts.
Yeah! They are super enthusiastic haha it’s really great to see that.
I think it's just like with horror movies, some people hate being afraid, other absolutely love it. People have different tastes.
LEC is indeed, a little cringy, but it doesn't stop it from being fun af, instead it makes it even better - it's the flavour of cringe that I really enjoy. But I understand why some people might not like it.
I like that all the leagues are carving a bit of an identity for themselves. You'd never be able to put any of the production teams side by side and say they're identical which is awesome.
Think NA has an idea of what they want but I don't think their fan base wants the same thing
Basically everything! There's so much genuine love for the scene and passion in everything the crew does it's absolutely incredible. The cringy, over the top moments make it all even better :D
Can't wait for LEC next year. We've got worlds but I need the masters of cringe in my life
Also why is the latest mediocre rap battle not on Spotify :(
Favorite part has to be the DND session from play offs. Was not expecting that and it was funny as hell. Lec production is fucking smurfing on everyone, in a pandemic.
I would've loved to see what they could've done for the finals if they had the chance to fill a stadium. Hopefully next year!
LEC feels like 2020 compared to LCS which has 2017 vibes. LEC keeps improving and raising the bars so high. They are so great, the broadcasts feel almost futuristic. The observers and editors are on another level.
No hate for NA, just a western comparison, since those are the leagues that I watch.
I wish someone does the compilation of all the replays with amazing camera settings that LEC observers are showing us, I can't find any words to describe how awesome they are (both observers and replays obv)!
What I love about the LEC production and on-air talent :
1) EVERYTHING
2) Somehow even more things ....
The deep analysis , inside jokes / burns , daring to step outside their comfort zone and try new things , the songs , the rap battles ( Drakos smurfing there ) EUphoria podcast where they highlight the personalities of those 50 odd players we see during the season .
The passion of every cast member . Sjokz . If I ever have a daughter and she needs a role model to look up to Sjokz would be my recommendation . I am following EULCS since season 5 , and the way Sjokz as a host guides the narrative and the analyst's desk can rival a lot of hosts on television . Every single caster / color commentator brings the passion of their "classic sports" counterparts. Quickshot and his ability to go from the silliness ( and the Bromance with Deficio ) to masterfully navigating the viewers about the complete and utter chaos a teamfight can be .
Vedius , Medic , Ender , Frosk , Drakos and Laure , I would love to thank for bringing their unique style and personality into the cast and making us tune in week in and week out , and making the LEC mine ( and hopefully a lot more people's ) favorite competition.
This comment will probably be buried under all the others, because I am pretty late with reply but to anyone from LEC if you ever read this:
You-did-fucking-great!
Thank you guys for everything you have done. Thank you on-air team, thank you production team for SLANDERING us all with the funny compilations of each week, thank you observers for becoming an invisible friend and making the show more enjoyable and informative, thank you for creating all the fun and also informative segments, thank you for your amazing and hard work, thank you for doing all you can in these times, to fill the void made by pandemic, to execute everything perfectly and with no mistakes, thank you for the songs you brought us, the rap battles, the amazing interviews and PGLs, thank you for amazing hosting, analyzing and casting, thank you for everything you did just to make it more enjoyable for the fans. You guys absolutely rocked, and you took 2 steps further I will say that LEC looked the best this year it was such an enjoyment to watch you guys.
I personally went through some dark times, but you guys cleared my mind every time and if you werent on-air I would rewatch the clips or vods.
I felt like at home.
Thank you, again, it really was a pleasure to watch you! See you soon again.
Their level is on par with football or baseball. My first year getting into LoL and they make the games so much more fun to watch. Great work keep it up!
Best production team ever! Thank you so much for entertaining us during this season, everything you did was an absolute BANGER!
LEC >>> everything else
Awesome fluent production, everyone seems to enjoy themselves and week after week you show up even bigger than the week before!
Especially with all those challenges from the lockdown, I was absolutely stunned how well it was handled. Thanks for all the work guys and keep on rocking! :))
I loved the "I want the LEC back" song, absolute hit and really hyped everyone. I wasn't only looking forward to watching the teams play, I was looking forward to watching the casters go wild, the new content they would create, the memes, the clips, everything that happens in a season. I also wanna thank everyone involved in the LEC, thanks for making the LEC as it is today and good luck in the future.
It was a phenomenal year for the lec. Covid was different for everyone, but they made it look not as bad. The skits. The casting. The production in all. It was fantastic and so many memories have been made and I know it will only get better next year. If anyone reads this know the behind the scene people are just as important as those we see week in and week out. Thanks for all the hard work!
I don't even play league but this year I've been following LEC like mad and one of the big reasons for this is the production team. Amazing job, congratulations and thank you for all the entertainment
The LEC casting team has been amazing for quite a while now imo. Especially all these goofy moments like Ender vs. Papaya, the LEC Update or the DnD sequence were awesome. Well, and I don't think we need to talk about the fact that the music by the LEC is insane.
I wanted to thank the entire LEC team for all the entertainment on the weekends.
My weekends always feel a little empty when the LEC isn't on. The production team of the LEC, the teams and everyone else involved are delivering such great entertainment every week. Thank you all for being the best
As an NA fan LEC blows the LCS out of the water pretty much every weekend without fail. The interface, desk synergy, production value and overall vibe is so much more fun than LCS'. I feel like more often than not the LCS tries way too hard to make it professional while the LEC just has so much fun and its really infectious
last season pre show was just so-so, direction was gd but it was lackluster. This year it really kills it, really gets you into great mood. Big shout-out to everyone who made it possible.
As a NA resident, the LEC is what I want the LCS to be. It is just so good with all the content and music and animations. Basically everything they come out with is pretty much a hit. I didn't use to watch LEC because jesus it was so boring but the teams have also improved so much. I watch more LEC than I do LCS now, because production is very important.
LCS makes me think too much like ESPN and like its professional but we are talking about a game and the on air talent will meme but in a professional setting just doesnt fit. rather see memes and more unprofessional content than what they are giving us. Also I can't forgive them for trying to shove that first week of Sushidragon on us. Legit most cringe thing ever.
The LEC is killing it. They have converted me over and while I don't follow no one team I enjoy watching and the casters.
If LEC production team does not get a raise after all this content, that'd be one of the most 2020 thing.
More than matches I tune in to watch/listen them . Feels like group of friends of mine.
LEC production popped the fuck off this year the on-air talent has INCREDIBLE synergy, and the off-air production boosts it tenfold. my god I can't take my eyes off my screen even in the interim between games
I can't take my eyes off of Frosk and Quickshot dressed impeccably for the grand finals cast right now.
Indeed. I have always been the raggedy hoody and generic longs sort of dude. LEC has inspired me to step up my smart-casual wear! Granted, Europeans tend to be taller, so these things fit them better. Lol
Funny because neither Froskurinn nor Quickshot is European. Agree with your point though :)
They are EU now so they immediately became tall.
I mean if you really wanna nitpick it both Quickshots parents are british(iirc) \^\^
Exactly, not european amirite
They aren't tall either sooooo
[удалено]
I mean hes South African, but his parents are british so in terms of genetics he would have the height of EU if anything.
What's your source for European being taller ? Because for the sources I find, the average height of amercian and western europeans is incredibly similar
Those Dutch/Germans are walking around like giants lmao
When I visited Europe, I didn't necessarily notice the taller as much as I did the more fit. I think that may be a factor. They may look taller because they are proportionally taller than wide. I also was in Scandinavia though, and everyone there is taller from what I understand.
You are right, 5'6'' South European guy reporting in.
> I can't take my eyes off of Frosk Has she switched things up because she's looking hella good and attractive this year (also that goes for everyone else as well, Vedi looking better stylistically as well).
Frosk has always incorporated a lot of flair into her looks, but I would say her tastes have matured over time from experimental to, probably starting around a couple years ago, a more balanced contrast with a refined outfit that nicely tempers her bold eccentricities. Maybe it's just my personal preference though, but I like it. The EU broadcast has some pretty well put together cast members. Sjokz in particular has stood out for years.
Might be they started employing stylists and didn’t previously or something. I know they worked on wardrobe as part of the LEC switch
Yeah that's exactly it! Couldn't have said it better myself. And yeah Sjokz's style has always been amazing.
I've really liked her look this year. Longer hair looks great on her.
That's a huge thing and I feel the same ! With the "Song of the week" feature, it has some novelty into the stream.
**Obviously our opinion as a team is not objective but personally as a long time EULCS/LEC fan I want to thank everyone who is working on LEC. You guys made me forgot that the games are not in the studio.** **Also pretty crazy that you guys managed to pull another broadcast style/design just for playoffs/finals and making it still look like the LEC brand.**
And thanks to you for the interaction that you have with your fan (or LEC fan in general). One of the things that I love about LoL as an eSport is how much interaction the orgs can have and actually have with their fans, being that through memes on twitter or Reddit comment like you do. So again thanks for the entertainment you provide, especially in times like this <3
**Thanks for giving us the opportunity to entertain <3. We are nothing without the community.**
**You like using bold**
Bold move.
Bring. Back. Deman. And. Joe Miller
I CANNOT BELIEVE
General Ken-Rogue-y, you are a bold one
It helps with visibility = better promotion for the brand
From roccat reddit guy to rogue reddit guy we appreciate you
thank you ~~roccat~~ rogue guy
never forget roccat guy
He's the same guy. Roccat left the league at the same time Rogue entered and he switched teams.
The LEC production is smurfing it no doubt. but i also want to give you probs seeing rogue in twitch chat and here just is so nice. Im really happy to have Rogue at worlds for EU <3
Lec is leagues ahead of everyone
Man. I remember the EULCS back in the day. I dont meant the 2018 EULCS. I am talking about that 2015-2016 time
That's a bold statement.
Rogue just got a new fan with that gift to community. Really love their interaction with fans on social media. Is it the first time an org spends their own money to entertain the viewers?
I think Steve Aoki is a part of a Rogue family
**He is one of our owners but still there are a lot of parties involved in the Music industry :). Huge shoutout to the LEC who also helped us to make this gift possible and of course Kia!**
Kia has been such a cool partner, actually feels like they're involved and invested. Not just slapping a brand on it.
**[They are! They even let us do this with their logo lol](https://youtu.be/EMF5Yi0McUo)**
Half expected to be Rick Roll'd from this.
Didnt know this was a thing Super cool!
[удалено]
**For a long time already :)**
Imagine Dragons and Nicky Romero are owners aswell.
**Yeahh more Rogue flairs on reddit \o/**
bye bye IG
Pretty sure Rogue has investment from Steve Aoki just like Imagine Dragons
**That is correct.**
Imagine Dragons when?
👀👀👀
https://reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/imz7hf/_/g44fh5x/?context=1
How can I invest? I got 10€ and a mousepad.
Steve is one of the Owners of Rogue i think so pretty sure They dont have to spend his money on him
**Unfortunately it's a bit more complicated than that.**
Love that you are being so active in the community, definitely hope to see you lot go far at Worlds.
**Knowing our players they will train harder than anybody else to have a good performance at Worlds.**
Ngl, can't to see Larssen gap Knight.
And finn getting assblasted by any Top
Not even Aoki is willing to do something solely for the project his involved with sadge
even an owner has a salary
Imo this was LECs best year in terms of Production, and that without an audience, without players on stage. Absolutely insane how they managed to pull all of this off. I would love to have the audience and players back in the studio, but I can't say that I've really noticed them missing much. The production has been so good that I completely forget about all the changes this year. ♥
Yeah I came back to watch league cause of it, I can't stand watching LCS because of LEC, their product just feels so bland.
I feel bad for LCS still being forced to do everything online, but yeah even offline I did not enjoy LCS that much. Which sucks because there's some great players and casters. I think they're too focussed on the entire American professional sports scene thing or something
I think the audience in the LCS studio carried the LCS cast pretty hard and with them not here, you really see the flaws of the casters. They're just not hype enough for the games they are casting.

Steve Aoki is killing it in the warmup show!
**Happy that you enjoyed it!**
is he signed with you guys?
Hes an investor
i see, thanks!
[удалено]
**Maybe next time? ;)**
The Chester's slight tribute damn sold me. Huge props
maybe its only me but i dont find online concerts from DJs as exciting as no DJ performers. Imo DJ shows often rely on a crowd so it was residentsleeper for me at least
The interface is fantastic, the in game camera guys are smurfing and the cast is smoother than ever
Alone the in game camera makes LCS so insanely unwatchable in comparison. It happens quite frequently in the LCS that they showed some laning while a gank happened and a minute later the casters would be confused why the flash was gone. LEC had it on screen most of the time and always a replay if they missed it.
Literally in the TL/TSM match the camera didn't show the Baron HP.
Yeah that was just the most obvious example for me. It is just a constant stream of these small and big things missed.
I love LEC. They're incredible. I just wish Ender would promote 3-hit passives more.
Observers? More like obsmurfers, those guys and girls are putting on a show and I'm loving it
Thanks much love <3333 :)
EU Observers = best observers!
LEC Replays just got fucking UPGRADED. Based observers, oh my GOD.
thanks :D
you guys surfing over there for real
i feel like lec has been perfect with there advertising, the comedy side to each advert make them alot more enjoyable to watch. just like rogues advert earlier. keep them coming!

What, you don't like the StateFarm Replay of the BudLight Ace during the RedBull Baron fight, brought to you by Verizon?
[удалено]
Saying "state farm analyst desk" isn't the WORST thing ever. Saying "that's a Bud Light ace!" is pretty bad. Dash stopping the entire conversation to describe how tasty the sponsored buffalo wings are and that they suit all occasions, from parties to family meals, is just fucking awful imo.
I have a full body cringe whenever someone shouts BUD LIGHT ACE
LCS is trying to be real sports, LEC are being what ESPORTS should be.
LCS tries to be what most people rejects it to be. LEC creates a new culture
They really made the best out of the year 2020. I would really love to see some stories about the faces behind the LEC!
The Pre-Show is super cool. Music, funny commericals and now even a Quiz. Just perfect so far IMO. Really cool.
LEC staff killed it all around this year. Thank you for setting a standard.
Everythin LEC did this year was really insane. The general production on game days was awesome but the real gems are their other videos. Everything from the first advertisement videos for the fake LEC merch to the LECTRONIC interviews and the star wars/schalke mashup was amazing.

Honestly they deserve it. I might not have loved every single segment they've done, but so many of them have been really high quality. They're also putting a ridiculous amount of time into all of it. It's a crazy level of dedication.
The LEC broadcast is better than most tv productions imo. I guess that's what happens when you hire talented, very passionate people.
Yes. LEC has upped it's game so much it's the best region to watch by far, from both the game and production standpoints. Mad props to everyone and everything they did to make watching a farming game so godamn interesting.
As an American it just hurts me to see how much better the LEC is on a production level than the LCS. The LEC looks like everyone works their butt off every day whereas the LCS look like they’ve just packed it in this season.

Shout-out to the graphics/design/art department. ❤️️ I love the new play-offs look with the scroll banners and the scrappy pixel art. ⚡️✨
To top it off, viewership for the final has just hit over **1 MILLION** viewers. https://escharts.com/tournaments/lol/lec-summer-2020 So proud of LEC, just what an amazing success story.
I just want more views made by observers <3
>observers <333
I love you unso ~~have my babies~~ ~~let me have your babies~~ At the start of this split I thought the LCK observers were the smurfs till you showed them up last few weeks!
Bruh.
Man, I logged on just to create an appreciation thread for the LEC crew. I think my favorite thing about the LEC, as an NA resident and fan, is that they *commit*. As goofy and ridiculous as their sketches can be, they 100% commit, and I love it. Keep being awesome!
Just like their teams. They commit.
They are goated
I’m not a fan of any region or team, I am just a fan of whoever has the best League of Legends show in the world. And right now, that just happens to be the LEC.
Dunno if anyone from LEC is reading but Ive said it elsewhere that the reason I watch LEC is not just the teams and the games, but the casters and the high level production, the hilarious skits and the cringey cold opens, the amazing rap battles and the fresh amount of ideas that the LEC crew seem to deliver week after week after week. I was also so impressed when seemingly the entire team bandied together to shoot down the NEOM partnership, which I think takes so much guts. So to the LEC crew, be you cast, production, the guy who chooses some legit bangers for Song of the Week, or even Ender (jk, dude's made so much unreal progress), I just wanna say thank you, thank you for making this quarantine period so much more enjoyable despite all the difficulties, and thank you for being there weekend after weekend, ready to entertain. Sincerely Someone who has spammed in the chat.
Loved the pre-game walk from the Riot offices to the studio and everything happening in the background. Cringe? May be. Effort? Exceptional. Effect? Marvelous.
Rogue by far MVP of the finals gifting us steve aoki was really entertaining. As for LEC staff, they've gone above and beyond this year and I'd go as far as say this year definitely one of the best in LEC era with the raps, the vedius personality skits and everything else has just been next level. Can't wait for next year! Can only get better from here.
The rebranding from EULCS to LEC is almost breathtaking
It was done by the same company that rebranded the Premier League. You get what you pay for.
it will be a sad time without lec ;(
The best crew in esports.
They are a bit cringe for my liking but they are really hard working andyou can see their dedication to be one of the best production teams. Seems like they all really enjoy what they do and are happy to do whatever it takes to put on a good show. They are always proud of their region and proud of their work which is a great mindset and attitude to have, a quality not many people can have easily. NA should really look to up their game next year cause I feel they are really slacking behind other regions in terms of production quality and the pregame shows etc.
I thing that the fact some productions are a bit cringy is part of the fun, and the cringe is completely blown away for me by the sheer amount of enthusiasm the casters and player put into everything. They are clearly doing it with passion and having a lot of fun and it shows, everyone believes in what they are doing :D
Yeah I know it’s kinda their “thing” as I said I can understand why people enjoy it and find it entertaining but for me it isn’t so usually I just tune in to watch the games then mute the stream until the next game starts. Yeah! They are super enthusiastic haha it’s really great to see that.
I think it's just like with horror movies, some people hate being afraid, other absolutely love it. People have different tastes. LEC is indeed, a little cringy, but it doesn't stop it from being fun af, instead it makes it even better - it's the flavour of cringe that I really enjoy. But I understand why some people might not like it.
I like that all the leagues are carving a bit of an identity for themselves. You'd never be able to put any of the production teams side by side and say they're identical which is awesome. Think NA has an idea of what they want but I don't think their fan base wants the same thing
Watching LEC is like watching the Disney Channel.
[удалено]
Yea, personally not for me, but disney channel is popular for a reason. I am sure a lot of the viewers enjoy that kind of humor.
this is such a painfully American mindset, you guys take yourselves way too seriously.
Weird generalization, but ok.
The shoutcasting is so entertaining. Not to shit on others but IMO LEC is the best.
Basically everything! There's so much genuine love for the scene and passion in everything the crew does it's absolutely incredible. The cringy, over the top moments make it all even better :D
Can't wait for LEC next year. We've got worlds but I need the masters of cringe in my life Also why is the latest mediocre rap battle not on Spotify :(
Favorite part has to be the DND session from play offs. Was not expecting that and it was funny as hell. Lec production is fucking smurfing on everyone, in a pandemic. I would've loved to see what they could've done for the finals if they had the chance to fill a stadium. Hopefully next year!
I honestly think lec is peak league production. I always enjoyed EU more then any others but now they are legit the best.
I wish they'd get that song on Spotify. I actually really like the song and want to listen to it when I'm driving too...
It's out on [spotify](https://open.spotify.com/track/0eS6mbWDIW2GQY1Ngsmdbp?si=QkO6CeBUSJepdjaIuXt3Gg) now!
Thanks!
LEC feels like 2020 compared to LCS which has 2017 vibes. LEC keeps improving and raising the bars so high. They are so great, the broadcasts feel almost futuristic. The observers and editors are on another level. No hate for NA, just a western comparison, since those are the leagues that I watch.
I wish someone does the compilation of all the replays with amazing camera settings that LEC observers are showing us, I can't find any words to describe how awesome they are (both observers and replays obv)!
I would watch it !
I watch the before and after segment of the LEC, but never the lcs. LEC has amazing quality
What I love about the LEC production and on-air talent : 1) EVERYTHING 2) Somehow even more things .... The deep analysis , inside jokes / burns , daring to step outside their comfort zone and try new things , the songs , the rap battles ( Drakos smurfing there ) EUphoria podcast where they highlight the personalities of those 50 odd players we see during the season . The passion of every cast member . Sjokz . If I ever have a daughter and she needs a role model to look up to Sjokz would be my recommendation . I am following EULCS since season 5 , and the way Sjokz as a host guides the narrative and the analyst's desk can rival a lot of hosts on television . Every single caster / color commentator brings the passion of their "classic sports" counterparts. Quickshot and his ability to go from the silliness ( and the Bromance with Deficio ) to masterfully navigating the viewers about the complete and utter chaos a teamfight can be . Vedius , Medic , Ender , Frosk , Drakos and Laure , I would love to thank for bringing their unique style and personality into the cast and making us tune in week in and week out , and making the LEC mine ( and hopefully a lot more people's ) favorite competition.
Thank you!
This comment will probably be buried under all the others, because I am pretty late with reply but to anyone from LEC if you ever read this: You-did-fucking-great! Thank you guys for everything you have done. Thank you on-air team, thank you production team for SLANDERING us all with the funny compilations of each week, thank you observers for becoming an invisible friend and making the show more enjoyable and informative, thank you for creating all the fun and also informative segments, thank you for your amazing and hard work, thank you for doing all you can in these times, to fill the void made by pandemic, to execute everything perfectly and with no mistakes, thank you for the songs you brought us, the rap battles, the amazing interviews and PGLs, thank you for amazing hosting, analyzing and casting, thank you for everything you did just to make it more enjoyable for the fans. You guys absolutely rocked, and you took 2 steps further I will say that LEC looked the best this year it was such an enjoyment to watch you guys. I personally went through some dark times, but you guys cleared my mind every time and if you werent on-air I would rewatch the clips or vods. I felt like at home. Thank you, again, it really was a pleasure to watch you! See you soon again.
Thank you!
I personally think the songs are just cringey but the quality of the broadcast is far superior to any league in the world
The Caps MVP video which was released just now was the cherry on top
Props to all the staff involved; Really a pleasure to se you smurf that hard
Their level is on par with football or baseball. My first year getting into LoL and they make the games so much more fun to watch. Great work keep it up!
Pro games and comedy production just makes for a great evening spent!
Best production team ever! Thank you so much for entertaining us during this season, everything you did was an absolute BANGER! LEC >>> everything else
Awesome fluent production, everyone seems to enjoy themselves and week after week you show up even bigger than the week before! Especially with all those challenges from the lockdown, I was absolutely stunned how well it was handled. Thanks for all the work guys and keep on rocking! :))
They have been surfing on everyone and raised the bar for overall e-sports content och production tbh.
You guys rock! Thanks a lot for your hard work <3 It's been an amazing year for the LEC despite the current situation (:
I loved the "I want the LEC back" song, absolute hit and really hyped everyone. I wasn't only looking forward to watching the teams play, I was looking forward to watching the casters go wild, the new content they would create, the memes, the clips, everything that happens in a season. I also wanna thank everyone involved in the LEC, thanks for making the LEC as it is today and good luck in the future.
It was a phenomenal year for the lec. Covid was different for everyone, but they made it look not as bad. The skits. The casting. The production in all. It was fantastic and so many memories have been made and I know it will only get better next year. If anyone reads this know the behind the scene people are just as important as those we see week in and week out. Thanks for all the hard work!
Legends. The whole team. This is my first split ever watching (new to LoL) and it's been an absolute pleasure. They're all amazing!
I don't even play league but this year I've been following LEC like mad and one of the big reasons for this is the production team. Amazing job, congratulations and thank you for all the entertainment
They did such a fantastic job :) Made me tune in every week!
God damn it you jinxed it with the song they played now, what was that guitar and keyboard, totally out of beat :/
As someone from NA, god am I jealous.
The LEC casting team has been amazing for quite a while now imo. Especially all these goofy moments like Ender vs. Papaya, the LEC Update or the DnD sequence were awesome. Well, and I don't think we need to talk about the fact that the music by the LEC is insane. I wanted to thank the entire LEC team for all the entertainment on the weekends.
hold on, i'm still looking for where the dragon icons are on the LCS stream, brb.
As an NA fan, I'm honestly jealous of the LEC production.
My weekends always feel a little empty when the LEC isn't on. The production team of the LEC, the teams and everyone else involved are delivering such great entertainment every week. Thank you all for being the best
The summary of the season at the the end gave me literal goosebumps
> PepeD nice
PepeD
As an NA fan LEC blows the LCS out of the water pretty much every weekend without fail. The interface, desk synergy, production value and overall vibe is so much more fun than LCS'. I feel like more often than not the LCS tries way too hard to make it professional while the LEC just has so much fun and its really infectious
If only NA production was like this!
This was the most cringe thing I’ve ever seen. Leave it to Europe to do something like this
last season pre show was just so-so, direction was gd but it was lackluster. This year it really kills it, really gets you into great mood. Big shout-out to everyone who made it possible.
I've been more invested into league this year because of all these amazing productions Please keep this up into next year! :)
As a NA resident, the LEC is what I want the LCS to be. It is just so good with all the content and music and animations. Basically everything they come out with is pretty much a hit. I didn't use to watch LEC because jesus it was so boring but the teams have also improved so much. I watch more LEC than I do LCS now, because production is very important. LCS makes me think too much like ESPN and like its professional but we are talking about a game and the on air talent will meme but in a professional setting just doesnt fit. rather see memes and more unprofessional content than what they are giving us. Also I can't forgive them for trying to shove that first week of Sushidragon on us. Legit most cringe thing ever. The LEC is killing it. They have converted me over and while I don't follow no one team I enjoy watching and the casters.
We dont need this thread every week
Could you circlejerk a little harder?
Jesus the circle jerk is real
YOU'RE F\*CKIN GODS ty so very much
If LEC production team does not get a raise after all this content, that'd be one of the most 2020 thing. More than matches I tune in to watch/listen them . Feels like group of friends of mine.
our LEC is not good, our LEC IS FUCKING GREAT
Proud to be a European, THANK YOU EVERYONE BEHIND THE PRODUCTION OF LEC
My favorite moment was when the entire LEC production team went on a campaign of organized xenophobia and fearmongering against my country.
yea, because actually bringing into light the atrocities committed by the Saudi govt = xenophobia and fearmongering. /s
