5 Things You Didn't Know About The HIGHEST RANK In League of Legends 

Hello my friends, I've been away from home, but I'm back for real this time! More videos on the way, pinky promise Kappa. Also, what do you think, was Tactical and CoreJJ win trading? 👀 Oh and check out Blitz: invite.blitz.gg/Nicolai

-"Yo core i need to win bro im one game away from rank 1 i need you to run it down pls" -"okok i play bard" I can believe that convo tbh

Nicolai: Even Faker loses sometime Faker: Hold my beer

I imagine that it's probably tricky to find these unique topics with enough substance to talk about, but that's what makes you and your channel distinct from everyone else. It's a joy to see you upload.

Teacherma, the plat pro player mentioned, was plat only because his platstyle is to entirely focus around his team, which is pretty not optimal in solo q. He latered learned Champs like syndra that can carry and climbed up

Faker really decided "nah, I'm not havin it" and shot straight back into challenger huh

i already know this vid is gonna be good

Nicolai: Even Faker loses sometimes Faker: Yes, but actually no.

my cousin was a challenger twitch jungle booster on EUW, most of the time he only accepted giftcards, preferably amazon than steam etc. as payments because its harder to get caught and dont need to pay taxes. He was playing 10-12h a day. He earned good money with it but he lost so much passion and temper with it.

Those pro players that T1 called out are definitely win trading

Honestly i regret wasting years of my life playing league. League of Legends was a daily activity for me since high school, i used to grind hours everyday trying to reach high elo and i did. I eventually reached high masters but for what? sacrificed a lot of time , gave up on a lot of social events with friends and family and barely spent anytime with my dad who passed away a few years back. Yes i made some money through boosting/coaching/winning tournaments...etc but god damn now that I look at it, it wasn't worth it at all. I recently found my passion in programming and i figured that If I spent as much time learning programming.. as I did playing league, I would've been a god in programming by now. I'm chasing a career in programming now, wish me luck!

*no pressure* damn you're chill😂🤣 yeah Faker is something else good to have you back. cant wait for more video. thanks for quality content. wish you well

Ironic thing about the blitz app, is that i have to race against the timer to unfreeze the bunk ass app before the game launches

Ironic riot made it harder to 1v9 to counter boosting but instead just punished good players :/

Just pointing out that the chess game shown of a 13year old Magnus Carlsen(current world chess champion and goat level stats) vs (arguably the goat) garry kasparov that was shown actually ended in a draw. It was a well fought match and garry really had to work for the draw.

RIOT: boosting is not okay, you have to stay in the rank you belong Also RIOT: Here's a tournament for callenger players "Get from iron to challenger. The fastest people who do it get awarded" Me: Yes, I am not a fan of this company

Man, I gotta say, I dont give a flip about league and never have. HOWEVER, i love your content and cant stop watching. You know you make good content when the viewer doeant really care for the subject matter, but still watches a bunch of it because its such well made content. Keep up all the great work. 10 outta 10.

I love how Jatt tweeted that Balls (C9) was D2 and Huni (FNC) Masters and then, that same weekend, Balls got a Pentakill against Fnatic on Darius. Good memories.

Your channel notifications truly make me happy when they pop up! Lately every time I eat or I'm bored I only like to watch your videos. It would be truly awesome to play some League matches with you my guy. Keep up the wonderful work, you're one of my favorite RU-vidrs!!!

*Started making vid* Faker: Grandmaster *Editing vid* Faker: Challenger. Me: still in silver 4

6:39 LUL it really do be hard to get out of silver man 😥

hey! that’s me. great video!

Thing about the lpl player wasn't completely true. Although he was plat it was on the Chinese server and he was master+ on the Korean server instead. He got warned and within a few days was within the range he was needed to be on.

It’s actually pretty expensive to manufacture these backpacks and have them shipped out to people considering when you have to add up all the costs alone

I onced played DotA 1, HoN, & LoL with my friends back in high-school, I was Platinum in just less than a month after reaching lv.30 Now I’ve tried LoL once again and got Grandmaster in less than 6 months Unfortunately I went back to DotA 2 after TI10 I’ll probably never going back to LoL, it’s a great game, & fun to play, but in terms of strategy, it’s too boring for me, I’m doing the same role over and over again, with the same itemization, I may have only less Champions but still those Champions that I have is enough to let me reach Grandmaster and most probably I’ll reach Challenger if I continue for like a year or 2 That’s just show and prove that you can spam the Champion for the entire time without any consequences Unlike in DotA 2, if I spam Dazzle, and then in 1 game some dude pick Axe just to counter my every move, and after that game, there’s another Axe picker/Void picker just to counter me right from the start(Draft), which proves that the players tend to learn and adapt not just in-game strategy but also in drafting patterns Not just in Hero-Counter but also in Item-Counter, like if someone is a Support-Silencer spammer and there’s s/he’ll always have that 1 game that his/her entire opponents are building Lotus Orb or Euls just so Silencer will become almost irrelevant in-game Countering Heroes in DotA isn’t just in Draft & Itemization, but it’s also in Timings, which depends on their Roles Like if there’s a Spectre in your opponent, even if your Draft doesn’t have Counter for Spec, the only possible way to win your game is to win with a Fast-Pace which is a Gamestyle that you’ll take over your opponent’s Teir 1 & 2 Towers and take over their resources like Jungle, Lanes, etc. because usually Heroes like Spectre or AM or Juggernaut are dependent on the time and resources but if some Team locks their time & resources they’ll be doing a hard time to win the game OG vs Liquid TI9 Grandfinal is a great example for my point Liquid were spamming Tide-TA, while OG was countering them with different kinds of method In Game 2: OG shows that Timings can turn the tides of the Game, you see Tide-TA is a great duo back in that time, as the Pro-Player(w33) who’s in that game said Tide-TA can do Push, Teamfight, Rosh, etc. which he is not wrong tho, but he forgot to mention that Tide-TA needs time, which OG countered them with Time, OG before that game with Tide-TA because they were playing with Spectre(Which is a Hero that rely on Timings) but in Game 2 OG tends to play the Game with Fast-Pace Drafts & Performance which was able to let them win in the Match In Game 3: OG shows that Counter can obviously win the Game, during that time Liquid was still confident in their Tide-TA which is a Draft that leads them to the Grandfinals, but unfortunately OG already read Liquid right from the start, OG countered every Heroes on Liquid, like Grimm counters Tide, Tiny counters TA, Pugna counters almost everyone like what one of the OG Player(Topson) said that Liquid’s Draft was 100% Physical and no Bursts In Game 4: OG(Or atleast Topson) shows that Itemization can situationally win the Game, Topson(OG’s Mid-Core) in-game can no longer Liquid’s snowball due to Omni-Bristleback’s constant agression, but Topson showed an extraordinary out-of-the-box strategy that’ll able them to win the game, he forces his Itemization to really focus on Bristleback and Omniknight, so he built Diffusal Blade that burns the Mana of the Heroes, you see if Bristleback & Omniknight has no Mana then they’re pretty much just a useless Tanks in the frontline without any Damage and Contribution to Teamfights and since Bristleback & Omniknight is useless then Liquid is most likely gonna cripple, and that what let them loses the Game

5:10 let them boost, if they are. as a fellow bronze on my way to Iron, people do this all the time in rocket league. if you insta queue after a game you will always get someone from last game, it no longer becomes win or lose it becomes the finals in a tournament, and if you queue with that person or more 3 times in a row and win all 3 times, you get hit with the line "we farming you tonight" then next game becomes brand new and the person is gone and you think to yourself, did he derank or log off... What was I talking about again?

I dont think you can play electrocute bard as a coincidence. I know pros try things out too but that happens on their dia smurfs not mains

that last edit lmao

1:29 no not 0,1% of players reach challenger. It's 0,01%

For anyone who seriously do not know: So many current and ex pro players boost, even people in top LCS/LCK/LPL ect teams even boost from time to time, it's honestly nothing new and this happens all the time in any game that has a pro scene / competitive scene. Does Riot care? Sometimes but one of the biggest reasons Xiao got in trouble is because he boosted way too much and it was cutting into his practice time and him actually playing on his high elo accounts during times he should of been playing as per pro team/player contract. This means during downtime players can boost even if Riot or a team knows they won't REALLY care as long as it's not public or interrupting contract / pro games.

I wish I could find my way INTO silver. I usually hover around iron I and bronze IV. Then again, I have played the game since 2010, and am now 40 years old, so the train have probably left the station for me...

kind of an interesting realization, more than some obscure fact but, Challenger is NOT ALWAYS the top 200 players. you probably already know this but there are usually players that will have more than one account in chally. so it could be top 199 players or less if more than one player has at least two or more chall accounts. so i think most of us know this but might not realize the trivia is comes with lol. anyway just thought someone might enjoy a little "oh yeah..." moment :)

I felt personally attacked at 6:44....

Welcome back Nicolai and great video! Random video idea, injuries in e-sports/pros

I turned 17 this year and i got challenger as well! :-)

XiaoWeiXiao was a god on Yasuo and Karthus, I still wonder from time to time what he's up to

WildRift has so many wintraders that they have 100% winrate in one champ and 0% in another and both are played 50+ games

It took you one month to upload a new vid, but it seemed like 1 decade lmao. Binge-watched all your vids every week until u uploaded a new one xd

well made, looks like you put in a lot of time in research for this video.

I don't want to be good enough for challenger, yet. I want to be good enough to beat myself from the last game.

Addicted to the game same as Griffin played since I 7 years old and im silver

6:30, they have a little brother aswell that recently got challenger.

now im quite depressed. this 15 year old started league around the same time as me and is that much better, hardstuck gold

0:40 never pressed alt F4 so quick in my life nope, still in queue

Great insight. So many interesting facts i did not know

Regarding pros and being low ranks in solo queue, just by watching a single pro match you'll see the major differences. I can't go over it in depth in a youtube comment and I'm sure it's covered somewhere else on the internet but just having a team that works well together and voice chat changes almost everything about how the game is played. The differences are night and day because pros practice with eachothers for tens of hours a week and when you're paid off doing well in a video game, you'd damn well bet they're gonna try to work together well. Being in an environment where you can play off other people and share information between each other, I can see how it would be difficult to climb when everything you're used to is taken away in solo queue.

Honestly i was expecting the YOU in the title to be all caps, thanks for pulling back that blow in my pride.

As a player who has hit rank 1 multiple times there’s a natural affinity you need to have. Partner that with hard work and you can go quite far! Find the right game though, don’t force it!

i dont get it? is it against the rules that pro players played with their team in rank?

love that metal gear solid sound at the end, nice video btw

knowing people by name happens in diamond 1 + (esp if you play at an odd time like early morning) and your games just become a lobby of the same 30 players over and over again

Generalsniper's been 14 for a few years now, according to videos. So he stopped aging or smth?

Im 17 and he is 15 and now he's in challenger tier but im always stuck on gold tier. 5 years playing of league of legends and im still in gold tier. Im disappointed to myself 😭😭😭

Idk how I'm i supposed to return to platinum if i only get flamers and FF 10

I can't even get out of silver anymore, idk what the hell happened to me, i just wanna get the gold and be done with it..

Not a league pc player, but I played Wildrift reached GrandMaster hoping to reach challenger this season.

GeneralSniper has been 14 for 3 years now

I wish we still got 1-5000$ to boosting to challenger these days. accounts only be selling for 500$

I am 31 years old and gaming since 7 years old 40 hour a week minimum even on holiday. The only time I didnt get to play was when I was in jail and still I borrowed a ps2 and Xbox 360 from cellmates to play. If someone couldnt finish they come to ask me for advice because I played alot of games. When I had ps1 I rented each week 1 game from the store and completed it. After played all games on ps1 I bought Xbox. then ps2, then ps3. Same I played all games and turned to PC gaming. In league I got to diamond 1 and people were trolling me because I wouldnt feed and they kept dying resulting me to have my base destroyed and me staying in fountain alive with double CS full items and others calling me noob for not dying. When I couldnt climb anymore because of toxicity I gave up and destroyed my KDA. Now I play only aram games and without knowing got 2 tokens that only 1% earned and alot are ready for promotion aswell. Long story short. Ranking system even in basket ball and soccer are all fixed. Matchmaking aint nothing new and trollers like hooligans always existed. And it all started with tetris on AA batteries and low end pc playing pacman and zootycoon. I got the rare glitch of pacman after playing for hours. I was having fun instead caring for rank and thats where true masters come out. Imados on EUW Add me if u like to challenge me. We play 2 games one on your server and one on mine. I can couch u aswell for improvements but for money alone. 23 years gaming experience aint no joke. SO to others same boat like me we should team up and show these youngsters how its done at next worlds :D. We call ourselves the The Elders Masters or TEM for short.

Jokes on you,…. I’m trapped in Bronze as a support.

Skt Wolf was hard stuck in Diamond 2 Korea server when he win world.

thing is tho a reason a pro player could get stuck in lower ranks is bc its a game of 5v5 u cant 1v9 everygame or with every champion ur team most likely will surrender before u could even carry the game

How do you not mention DOPA when talking about boosting? Guy is literally banned for 1000 years from competitive

5 things you didn't know about higher ranks well I've been bronze for three years so i don't know a thing

Kids are suppose to be better than us. They have better bodies, better reflexes, no pain whatsoever and more brain power to learn. Being 13-18 VS being 28-40 is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. When you are a kid you never got big pains, big diseases, you could eat whatever you want as many time as you wanted and just feel PERFECT. Is like being young is a superpower of sorts. They are going to better at us in games (on average, I still consider me pretty good and other folks are great too) and as we get older and our functions start to slow down, we will become worse.

Damn bruh that 2nd one def wintrade lmaoo wtf

dude I was so fking tilted when the kid said hes definitely gifted in academics. Could you imagine a straight A student with a challenger rank. Why god why. Why make these little monsters and absolutely embarass my shit???

10:00 faker lost 13/20 games? clearly ELO Skydiving. paid someone to give the others a chance.

After watching this great video I have come to realize that the best player in the world is also currently the face of leauge which is Tyler 1. After Tyler gets challenger in the support role riot should award him with more then just being the face of leauge on twitch for a day, am I right? I want a Tyler 1 skin!

Boosting will stay as long as people buy it, when I hit high rank RANDOM PLAYERS added me and asked for boost straight away directly in the league chat (???). I don't know how they found me. Almost all of my higher elo friends boost to some extent.

Challenger rank in LOL = 2k mmr in dota 2

Am 12 and 8 as one of the best players of a surten champion of another moba but never was thinking that kid will reach challenger even before I unlock rank

Shoutout to my boi XWX, he shook up the NA scene when he was there. I miss him.

Rank is there to make you addicted dont fall for it, play games for fun. Rank is useless

This Channel Is God

all this is right but the thing here is chall players get matched with dia 1 players depending on ppls mmr and the time ur playing so that just takes out the 3rd part of the video

Imagine you paying hundred of dollars to boost you account, and then u flexing with it plsying by urself and get demoted until ur back iron

I love the ad with the sonic underwater timer. Good times back then when I first played the games on Nintendo Ds Lite

People who pay that much money to get to a higher rank are f*cking sad.

#1 thing to being high rank is liv ein Singapore/ Connection speed is #1 over any skills

I'm stuck at silver 3 on wild rift and I've been trying for 2 months now just to get to gold but each time I need 1 more promo match to get to silver 2 something dumb always happens that doesn't let me win it's either my team or someone banning my champ or someone else picking my champ.

Wow, that guy was jojopyun, thats crazy

Yeah but Gen Sniper got rank 1 playing shit like Irelia and Riven. I definitely wouldn't even crack into Masters with my stubbornness to play solely Jax and Aatrox lmao I'm no Hashinshin. Plus apparently Bengi was gold when they won Worlds. It sounds far-fetched but it's definitely empowering to hear back then lmao

On the boosting part, when I was around 14/15 one of my friends was masters in league playing only ad teemo top(might have seen him on a few streams back then) he did a lot of boosting but got banned from boosting sights for having too bad winrate

I found a way out of silver but not of plat :(

Ive been close to top 500 in overwatch playing mostly Zarya, I was 15 at the time, yes this is a flex, but I guess I was/am one of those players. And ah yes, the flex continues, I am currently level 250, and when I hit my peak I was around 240. But anyways, great video!!

Lmao Faker pulled a reverse on Nicolai with that 10 win streak

damn i laughed so hard after you revoke what you said about faker's losing streak hahaha! Seems like Faker was able to sense it and gave you a 10 winning streak to change your mind real quick hahaha!

I missed top stuff videos thank u so much 🙏

i dont get it how is it harder to get in diamond when theres much higher ranks like Master, GrandMaster, and Challenger?

youll be surprised of how many diamond players make an account with a friend whose new to the game and gets them to diamond then get hard stuck and does it again

That's cute of LPL thinking Plat is bad. Allegedly DiamondProx the Jungler for Moscow5 back in the day was gold elo.

6:43 its actually very easy to get out of silver, with very little effort and a good mentality you can easily get out of silver and hit bronze

The peasant part just kick my gut

Kind of sussy that three BROTHERS that grew up together got challenger when there's only roughly 200 challenger worthy people in the entire country of America lol. I'm kinda thinking account sharing. Absolutely no way that it's possible three people from the same household got challenger by themselves when only 200 people out of MILLIONS in the country can be challenger. Makes no sense at all. And he said in this video that there hasn't ever been a kid before in challenger or it's rare, so also kind of weird that both these KIDS recently got challenger. I don't believe it at all actually after writing this.

I faced against the best mid laner in Serbia in a custom friends from friends only match. It freaking sucked. he played Irelia, his ingame name is TAMAAAAAAAA with less or more A's.

Ive only been playing for 101 days but I’m on emerald LMAO i don’t really wanna get to challenger tbh seems scary

If they need to boost to master or challenger, I need it to reach gold but unfortunately, I have no money so the seasonal free skin will still be a dream until I got the money to pay someone to make my account reach gold

giving back pack and they sould add other physical materials, that's the least they can do for their players

Ranking up is just me But backwards
