RE: Rift Life- Issue 1- Cloud 9 Fangirling
I haven't played in a while, but I absolutely love watching the lcs. The games are so much fun to watch. You should definitely check it out! The Spring Split starts Saturday! My boys will be playing.
Have you ever watched some of the fighting games? Some of my favorite matches come from Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. And let's be honest. When was the last time you saw a blind guy playing video games on a competitive level?
Yes, that was at the EVO world championships in 2013.
I've never watched those. I was a huge fan of Street Fighter growing up. I was never very good though....
That's pretty impressive! How did he even do that???? I can barely play those types of games using my eyes...
He (rattlehead) played entirely by sound. DJT wound up winning it all that year, and the commentators were giving him so much flak for that match.
"DJT's in a bad spot, here. If he wins, he gets hate for beating on the blind guy. If he loses, he gets flak for losing to the blind guy!"
Yea, that seems to be a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
It was all in fun, though. DJT's a decent guy, from what I understand.
Do they still play?
Oh yeah, DJT now plays for Yomi, and routinely places top 8 in MKXL tournaments.
As for Rattlehead, haven't seen him since his 2013 debut. Not many games feature decent characters with a teleport, so it's difficult for him to find a decent character to work with.
I need to start watching.
Are you going to watch the NA LCS today?
