I think its very hard to go to D4 in 5 months, near impossible. However i think if 1 person dedicates their entire life in those 5 months to becoming the best. It's only possible if they have someone like Curtis or Nathan in the background guiding them in these 5 months. But even then i think with a moba background its stillvery hard. Too many champions and match ups and what not that goes into the game. Its way too complex to just speed run to D4. I would be much more confident in saying its possible to play the game for 1 season bulk amount of games and then ur first ranked season to grind to D4 in 5 months. And in that time where u play those bulk amount of games in that 1 season u obviously stick to a process and even have a Nathan / Curtis available to ask questions to or guide you into a good direction. But since a Nathan / Curtis is very rare in the league community this person would need to be blessed with having such a connection to begin with.
28:45 amazing pantomime performance here
Nathan triceps looking pumped today
No Curtis thighs today but his forearms LARGE
That is so cool! Congrats to Nylana.
I was actually in a very similar situation to the redditor trying to hit diamond. I had peaked divine 4 in dota 2, my first pc game, after playing for about 5 years with no real process but relatively good habits such as occasionally reviewing games, keeping a small hero pool, and only playing a few games at a time. I played on an amateur team and treated the game as a serious hobby. I picked up league in college after finding out how few people played dota 2 at my school with the goal of forming a school team. I had only played the game casually with friends for no more than 50 hours. Once I started taking league seriously in S8, I hardcore focused on learning what every champion's abilities and identity were, meticulously studying throughout the day using a champion roster app on my phone. After starting out in silver, I quickly reached gold playing only adc and without duoing. However, I struggled to get out of gold for a while since I often didn't know how to approach a lane or a fight due to my lack of game knowledge. It took me until the very end of S9 to finally reach diamond 4, so about a year and a half in total. Even though I was viewed as a massive tryhard, watching every adc improvement video I could get my hands on, I think it's possible I could have reached diamond faster. I completely stopped playing the game during a brief mage bot meta, I didn't consistently play in blocks or review games, I wasted games unsuccessfully duoing with friends, and I invested a lot of time into forming and playing on the school's league team, which also pushed me to have a champion pool of about 5-6 instead of the ideal 2-3.
Reflecting upon my journey, I think getting diamond in 5 months is definitely possible, especially if in those first 200 hours of playing he's learned the abilities and identities of most champions, since I think this is probably the biggest roadblock for a dota 2 player coming to league. However, it will be extremely difficult and he would have to make it his top priority for 5 months with minimal breaks and a strong process.
Nothing tops a BBC episode quite like Nathan in a "Get into the Details" and Curtis in his "Written and Directed by Quentin Tarantino" T-Shirt/s! <3 great stuff guys
Assuming a German league player doesn't speak English is so brave hahahah , nice video
1:42 I can't recall his name but he is a Pyke support OTP on NA and he is usually challenger and he is 40 years old!
edit: His name is Hanjaro!
Meru, great movie, great callout, great show lads.
I responded to that reddit thread when it first popped up. I told him it's possible but highly unlikely, and that DotA doesn't translate to League. The games are fundamentally different despite both being MOBAs. They're just not played the same way. They're not even mechanically similar because DotA was hardcoded to maintain a lot of the same limitations that the WarCraft 3 engine has.
Nylana would be able to consistently carry in Korean Platinum.

This idea that your reactions & ability falls off a cliff at 30 is ludicrous. I honestly have felt no difference between 25 and 35.
And nobody ever deep dives why or how you are worse at 30+. It’s just this echo chamber of BS. Does anyone feel like 15 to 25 you fell off a cliff in ability? Of course not. Same thing.
plz god make a reaction to neaces video that just dropped…help this dude seek help
There's a 64 year old in my server called "Vô Corvo". I'll link a montage video of him here:
https://youtu.be/hOuLGwSeOEs
liking the content and whoever is picking these themes. bit disappointed that you went all ham on neace the OG but its understandable considering everything. super excited to listen to the new episodes.
The drop in reaction time with age, especially at 30, is so overstated it's not even funny. Just being taller by a few inches than average drops your reaction time much more than what's lost between 20 and 30, and yet the top of the ladder is not dominated by 4 foot 9 dudes. The couple of milliseconds lost is just inconsequential
Seems like neace wants another 3 hour essay from you guys. His titles from his recent videos got worse and worse while spreading even more mis-information.
23:25 "You need to let go".
Any advice on letting go? I think it's much easier said than done.
super inspirational! I also think that we will see more 30 year older challengers now that the game is getting older.
took a league break with end of season 12 in S2, peaking G4 last summer. with a 2-ish month break, i've returned few days ago and was shocked the game placed me in Bronze 2. So many games i was raging, perplexed at my teammates, frustrated at my own gameplay, chainfeeding. Playing adc, i also tried to learn a new champ at the same time as getting back into the game.
Took some time to reflect, looking for sources of learning, found this podcast. Decided to go back to my Kaisa, which is a fun champ, to commit again to my basics. No longer upset im Bronze, because I can easily improve on my basics without pressure here! 🙂 Grabbed my physical notebook again to review my matches. Thank you guys for sharing your review processes! BBC is helping me greatly readjusting my perspective on my league games and enjoying the process alot more.
so much agenda going on. Effeminate league players pushing egirls. check out twitch men are being turned into simps
Curtis can you make a updated jungle tracking video for the midlane fundamentals cause jungle has changed so much
"sunk cost fallacy" –👍
“might not speak english” lol almost every german speaks english
biggest take gotten here "when ur ahead and got lead risk less" literally opposite of how i play i gotta try that, i always feel like yo i have big lead lets roll them over and surely this works sometimes but when it fails it really fails and may lose the game 🤔😅
This episode hits me hard. Because like her, i also hit silver in s2, plat in s3, but unlike her, i stopped improving and i was auto piloting for long 6-7 years… 6 or 7 years wasted in plat. And i regret it so much and i wish i had different mentality back then…
Now i have to break all these toxic and wrong narratives gathered through out the years.
Just got to D1 last season, thanks to you guys. Your podcast has changed my relationship with the game and i'm thankful for that.
Thanks for the great work and effort you're putting into it.
League mommy
1:07:35 WINTRADES??? xddd
I’m sorry, but I have to say it 5:21 “I would love to have Nicole on the BBC one day.”
Sorry but my peon brain had to say it.
Rigas is the only person consistently reporting on the European female scene, and he does it all for zero pay. An absolute legend.
playing enchanters is really hard
I personally dislike sentences like "everyone can get X-elo".
Challengers will say everyone can get masters, masters will say everyone can get D4, D4 – P4 etc etc
It literally goes against your POV that usually says that everyone has his own journey. Following this statement, everyone has his own limit and hearing "everyone can get 0.13%" destroys people's self esteem.
It's like saying "everyone can make 10M $ per year ". Yeah, in an ideal world with unicorns and ponies.
Everyone can get somewhere at some point, but with a complex mix of variables and every single individual has his own unique complex mix. General statements TENDS to be toxic imho.
PS: I'm not flaming you guys and english is not my primary language
Is this really worth bringing up? For me it’s just clickbait. There are NO differences between woman and men when playing League. In the past I also thought that I could not be any good because I’m a girl, not a boy. But it really is an excuse. Once I realized that I gained so much confidence and it was my breakthrough from Gold to low Grandmaster (obviously over 2 years). The great thing for me is that you always have to mute chat. And since there is no voice chat (thanks Riot <3) you are also not getting bullied for being female.
But I have to agree doing it with 32 is just insane while having a full time job!
cringe clickbait
BBCers lol
