Smashing Heads and Leaving Games: Tarzaned retires career at astonishing 0/0 record -- the Monday Review

Posted: 24 Apr 2017 11:01 AM PDT

Welcome to the Monday Review, truth in action yadda yadda

EDIT: There are other, irrelevant stories in my top comment. Down below is what you came for

OP ED: Smashing Heads and Leaving Games: Tarzaned retires career at astonishing 0/0 record

A lot of people are chattering about Jensen's last play in the Spring split finals, and it does deserve conversation of all colors. But you shouldn't forget the real game-maker these past few weeks: when Tarzaned managed to end a man's entire career in three clicks. His own, but let's not dwell on the details.

I have to admit it. I underestimated him. Even with his staggering solo queue performance, topping leaderboards, it seemed like he didn't have what it takes to convert all that raw skill. Yet he proved me wrong by being just as toxic in scrims as he was in his natural habitat. He really told me to shut up, prompting me to leave the game I was playing and post threats against Lohpally on Twitlonger. That's right. Come at me and I'll light you on fire with a can of aerosol and a match, kid.

I blame his last error on voice coms; it was just too much interaction to handle. Instead of remembering his downfall, however, let's remember all the milestones in this legendary player's career:

  • He rage quit a scrim

Ending on a 0/0 record, a perfect 100% win ratio, wasn't his magnum opus. Tarzaned's career is defined by the friendships he made on his team and the fun they had together. OQ accepted him after he presented an article titled "how smegma serves the male anatomy." Let's take another moment to remember their times together:

  • He rage quit a scrim

One of the most exposing traits of Tarzaned's character is one many don't remember. But for me, this story symbolizes his entire legacy:

  • He rage quit a scrim

To be honest, maybe it's a good thing we will never see a pro Tarzaned. We weren't ready for him. Harnessing his solo queue power was akin to setting up the Keystone XL pipeline to transport snake venom and expired dananimals drinks--

One moment, someone is knocking at my door. Sheesh, whoever it is needs to chill out on the pounding. Who is it...Tarzaned?! Haha, how'd you find out where I live? It's not important? Okay. I hope everything is good in your neck of the woods. Yeah, it's a major bummer but you'll do better next year. We all have hard spots.

What am I writing? Uh oh. Uh, Galio X Valor fan fiction. Don't get near-- hey-- come on, man. Oh Jesus. Tarzaned, Tarzaned it's just a prank, it's only satire, put the chair down--

GAH OOF NO PLEASE GOD He just broke my head... I can't move my legs... he went into my kitchen. if you're reading this, please help. He's going to kill me, he's going to do it, I can hear him yelling the next room over. Tarzaned, why do you have a bottle of aerosol and a match? WHATS THE MATCH FOR TARZANED? DONT DO IT NOOOO OH GOD PLEASE STOP THE FLAMES ARE MELTING MY BONES AHHHH wheeze gasp ack AHHHHHH creaking death noises NOOO.... noooo...

But in all seriousness, I apologize for my comments against Tarzaned. I think he is one of the most gracious personalities in the scene right now. He is just so good and professional. God bless him.

And don't ever make fun of him again when he could break your head, reddit.

People praise Jensen but destroyed Piglet last spring

Posted: 24 Apr 2017 03:03 AM PDT

When Piglet got caught by the double TP vs CLG, at best people just saying "the double TP was really hard to see". Very far from the appreciation threads and the overwhelmingly positive feedback that is currently on front-page.

I was curious about why the difference of reaction?

Jensen Appreciation Thread

Posted: 23 Apr 2017 05:26 PM PDT

Regardless of me being a fan of TSM, and happy they won the finals, I'm still insanely proud of both C9 and TSM for how well they played.

Everyone makes mistakes, and I really hope Jensen doesn't take this loss too hard. I love you Jensen!! See you in the summer split

We are in Season 7 and MSI is still bo1. Isn't it time for a change?

Posted: 24 Apr 2017 02:37 PM PDT

We literally have 2 tournaments every year and , sadly, we have to judge region's strenght from a few bo1 matches. I wonder why can't we have at least bo3s in the group stage.

MarkZ Sketch

Posted: 24 Apr 2017 09:24 AM PDT

I did this sketch a while back of everyone's favorite singer MarkZ. Figured now was a good time to share it, before he makes it big with his first album.

http://imgur.com/gallery/f7N0U

Edit: I genuinely appreciate all the criticism. This was sort of improved while watching segments of the analyst desk so there's no specific reference to compare it to really.

Skin Idea I've had Since season 1: Politician Garen

Posted: 24 Apr 2017 08:20 AM PDT

This is more a description for the skin idea as i'm not much of an artist. In a nutshell:

Garen would wear a suit and a tie along with a slick hair style. He would wield a Demacian standard into battle instead of a sword. Instead of Demacia, he would yell democracy. When he ults a large Demacian standard falls, and you hear valor's screech. When he presses e to spin to win the particle sparks are in the Demacian colors. When he Q's and silences he yells objection! Last, but not least. My favorite effect idea is when his passive is up. Instead of the normal green particles you have green Demacian bank notes with Jarvan IV's face on them falling off Garen.

Welp there it is, a skin idea i've had for years. Hopefully you guys like it.

First of all, thank you Riot and Barclaycard Arena for making this amazing weekend possible. Hamburg was a great city to visit and explore, although two days felt way too short.

Anyways, a BIG shoutout to all the fans who were in the arena, especially all the crazy french people who heated up the freaking atmosphere. Also, thanks to all the players, casters, cosplayers, staff and coaches. It was my first time at a live League event and it felt absolutely insane!
