Q:Why won't you play Lee Sin in competitive games?
A:I play him every once in awhile. I think Irelia is a better pick in most situations though.

Q:Why main Lee Sin?
A:Probably the most fun champ in all the league. So much mobility, strong laning phase, has some tricks you can do (E.g. ward jump), can jungle or top. There's just a lot of things I like about him, the ability to outplay someone is nice.

Q:Do you think Lee Sin is a tournament viable solo top? Why?
A:I think he's okay, mostly as a peeler (someone who aids in protecting an important character on your team but getting threats off them) though.

As for an AD killer type character, as the game progresses it gets much harder to kill the AD as Lee Sin because you're reliant on your Q to do a lot of your damage, and most times it's impossible to hit their AD carry with a Q. When you compare his AD killer potential to someone like Jax Irelia or Rengar as the game progresses it's not very close.

I might start trying to bring him out a little more honestly..haven't fully decided yet.

Q:3 top laners who can carry the best?
A:I'll try to limit this to 3, but there's much more. I'm assuming this question is asking for solo queue.

In no particular order,
Jax - If Jax is played correctly he can win out most lanes, and he snowballs the lane really hard, and takes that advantage into the later stages of the game. He's super dominating.

Vladimir - If you're capable of winning lane, you're going to be a huge force to deal with and a team fighting monster. He deals a ton of damage and can snowball lanes incredibly well with great scaling.

Olaf - Olaf is insanely strong right now imo. If you can properly chain your axes you'll destroy everyone. He can win most lanes and even steamroll some, he's also capable of just running down AD carries and demolishing them.

There's definitely a ton of champs you can carry with from the top lane (even though I think top is generally less influential than a few other roles). I'm probably forgetting someone but I can't think ^_^ (Rengar usually banned but he carries well too)

Q:Would you say your best quality is being short, or being bald?
A:Both are really good qualities.
(I'm 5'10" for all those that don't know, this kid is just a bully)

Q:In your opinion, why is the NA scene so small? (I ask because the NA solo q doesn't seem any different than other regions, and yet the number of really good teams is smaller than the other regions)
A:NA scene is small because people don't take it as seriously. Another factor in that is that socially it's not deemed very high. In Korea people are like superstars if they are pro gamers.

Q:How have you decided to join Team Legion? Who asked you? I remembered you streaming in front of 200 people and didn't exactly follow your way to become a pro :)
A:Team Legion disbanded, but Lautemortis asked me.

Q:Is there a reason why Riven is whined about so much, yet never sees major tournament play?

What kind of interesting tricks have you picked up with Lee in all the time you've played with him?
A:She snowballs pretty easily and she snowballs really hard. She's great in solo queue. I think she's fine as far as tournament play goes it's just harder in general to snowball because the person you're playing against is better in general. She's pretty easy to play as well.

Her team fights if not snowballs isn't the best, she's ok at best imo. But if she's snowballed she's terror.

Q:Some unknown things that we must know when playing top? like...
when-to?
A:Play top if you enjoy it. Especially if you generally enjoy tankier champions and being against an opponent.

Q:When are you gonna stream again? Watching you top is pretty fun!
A:I need to stream more. I'm streaming right now as I answer this! But yeah I should try to fix my sleeping schedule and stream more often. Gets boring waiting in the early morning NA queues. :[ Thanks!

Q:Who would you say truly counters Lee Sin top? Basically, championselect aside, what champion is strongest against him in your own experience?
A:Udyr and Irelia generally do pretty well. Olaf is pretty good as well.

Here's my guide, it outlines a lot of the match-ups as well as gives a difficulty number that is relatively accurate.

Q:When did Legion decide that you made the most sense at top lane? and who are you closest to on lgn?
A:I played top lane before I joined Legion. The group of Legion was a team way before I joined so they were specifically looking for a top. I've gotten decent at it since joining as well I think.

Q:What is your opinion of the current state of unplayed top laners such as renekton, garen, wukong, udyr, and volibear? Also since i'm new to top laning, is being a one trick point an efficient way to learn the lane? I've currently only played renekton top and done fairly well against most top laners but still lose.
A:I haven't honestly played new Garen/buffed Wukong, so it's hard to comment. I think Renekton is 'ok' but could use a little love probably, he falls off a little later into the game but not as hard as most people think imo. Udyr I think is really strong still, the creep block bug and crap is annoying for him in lane a lot of times though. Volibear is pretty strong in lane due to high damage and his passive.

I need to play some of these underused champs to form a solid opinion though. :[

Q:Cruzer, Is there anything that you would like to change of solo queue or tournament play? Such as more bans, the map? and How do you feel about your decision to become a pro gamer in retrospect to almost 6 months ago?
A:I think there should be more bans for both. Bans should just naturally go up with the amount of champions released especially when the champions released are of any significance to the game.

Being a pro gamer is cool.

Q:what the hell do i do against yorick, he alway rape me unless im irelia
A:Get some sustain. This is a hard question to answer cause it kinda depends on who you're playing. I generally go heavy defensive and health regen quints.

+6 Suzoku answered about 7 months ago
Q:How do u play against vlad in general?

im really bad at playing or playing against him
A:The thing about Vladimir is that you either need to get him behind early, or bring a lot of burst damage that's on a semi short cool-down. Examples of this are champions like Akali (gotta be really safe pre6 3stacks though, after then you just dominate). Rumble is generally a good pick as well, but that can snowball against you pretty hard. Irelia also good.

Also if you can get a gank off early on him you can snowball pretty hard with most champions.

Q:Any tips on how you should play irelia vs darius and jax in the top lane?
A:Against Darius as almost any hero, Doran's Shields goes a long ways. I honestly don't think I've played the darius match up with Irelia, but I'd probably go double doran's shield and just be able to out trade him.

Against Jax when he jumps on you with his dodge up, try to Q to a low minion to get out of range of his stun, then you can fight him, if you're losing the exchange get out though, Jax is a monster.

Q:When and why Nidalee top?
A:If you need a poke (assuming you're AP). The problem with AP is that you get beasted in lane by a lot of heroes. Bruiser Nidalee acts as a split pusher and is decent in early to mid team fights.

Q:After the recent Jayce nerfs, do you think he's still a really good top? I like that he's no longer in every single game, but his win rate's also taken a dive. What do you think about him now? Also, do you think him or Olaf would be a better top? I play mainly Irelia, Jarvan, Jax and Riven. So I'm thinking even if Olaf might be a better top, should I still get Jayce, because I have no one who can poke/ranged?

A:I think he's good still. He's decent in lane still and he adds poke to your team late game. Poke is absurdly strong if you/your team knows how to play with it. Olaf fits in dive comps, Jayce is pretty meh at diving, jayce is more of a poker. I personally think he's still worth learning

Q:Do you ever get tired/bored of playing Top Lane? And if so, what is your 2nd favorite role to play for a break?
A:Top lane most definitely gets annoying, especially in solo queue. People will just camp me all day and I need help to counter it but a lot of times it just doesn't come. :[

My second favorite role is probably mid, mostly because the lane is short and it's harder to get ganked and it's a solo lane ^_^

Q:Do you think NA teams should move to EU to get better competetion? And if yes would you move to EU if you had that chance?
A:I know Scarra has pointed out a few times that it's really hard to get scrim partners because the pool is super thin as well as teams are super flakey. I definitely agree with that.

Anyways, if like any of the top teams of NA moved to EU there just wouldn't be an NA scene.. I think my team has plenty to learn from NA going to EU would probably just hurt our chances for Season 3.

Q:If you could pick one champion to buff into competitive viability which would it be and how would you buff them?
A:To be honest, I know a lot of the community doesn't think this but I think this game is fairly balanced. Most champs can actually fit in with certain comps.

Maybe a Tryndamere rework cause he's a manly man that tends to just get super kited as the game progresses and people just CC during his ult and he's useless. I don't think a buff would be enough to really do anything just based on his design.

I would like to see another super mobile champ like Lee though ^_^

Q:When is your team going to start prepping for S3? Would making it into the S3 top 8 make a big difference in your life? or would you treat the game similar to how you do now?
A:Not on a team currently. Season 3 is a pretty big deal though and I'm currently looking for a tream.
