Savage's MVP tracker Week 1

 Savage's MVP Tracker

    The new season has started and as I mentioned before, I am picking back up my pen, and starting a new weekly article series - MVP Tracker, where I will follow the individual pop-offs of SLE players, and which player, in my opinion, is the frontrunner for the legendary SLE MVP trophy.

*Disclaimer - games and performances I see on stream hold much higher value to me than offsteram stats.

Week 1



10. IWontLeash - Assasins & Greed

vs Ablaze on Varus W 13/1/5

vs Ablaze on Smolder W 9/3/4

9. Maybe - Assasins & Greed

vs Ablaze on Skarner W 3/0/13

vs Ablaze on Ivern W 5/0/15

8. Maxi Bam - Deadly Chi

vs Good Chi Nebula on Graves W 11/6/11

vs Good Chi Nebula on Diana W 12/5/8

7. Burgerflipper - Lynx Dream

vs Emrys Hyena on Varus W 12/3/6 

vs Emrys Hyena on Miss Fortune W 6/0/8

    Game 1 was a bit messy even with the great scoreline as BF misstepped multiple times and got 1x1ed on a side by opposing ADC, but he did make up for it with excellent play in game 2. Burgerflipper seems to understand applying pressure even when you are placed in a weakside position - walking up and challenging opposition to use resources to attempt to catch you, especially when you have your flash up. Threatening aggression, stealing away the camps opposing jungler is trying to get. Excellent work, excited to see what Burgerflipper can do for the rest of the season.


6. Kebabspinner - Lynx Dream

vs Emrys Hyena on Xin Zhao W 5/3/14

vs Emrys Hyena on W Zac 4/1/12

    In game 1 Kebabspinner brutally outjungled opposition sub-jungler Cloud, since the very first invade of the game. Skillshots and plays were on point, but what caught my eyes the most was his decisions on when to peel and when to go in. KS used his ult to save his ADC multiple times and dived in to execute key targets once his team was safe. In game 2, KS had a much harder challenge, SLE veteran Obsidian, but KebabSpinner was up for the task, holding his own and setting up his carries. Very solid performance by the Estonian jungler.

5. Balthasar - Vitagen

vs Slim Odds on Gragas W 5/0/10

vs Slim Odds on Ksante W 8/0/3

    From the president of the Vitagen fan club to being the main star of the the team, what a journey it has been for Balthasar. During week one matchup Baltha was matched against one of the most dangerous toplaners, the solokill king Banarex, and Vitagens Big B took Slim odds topplaners lunch, completely shut down the carry potential for his opposition and as a cherry on top had multiple excellent teamfights with great dives and flank TPs.


4. Jonathan Issac - Eternal Blizzard

vs Grubbers on Brand W 5/1/9

vs Grubbers on Viego W 10/0/10

    The season opener on Brand was solid, JI was playing with confidence and landed his skillshots, but game 2 on Viego was where JI truly shined, putting on an absolute early game clinic. It felt like there was nothing JI could do wrong, everywhere he went he got a kill, every gank succeeded, he did exactly what was expected and a little more being a heavy favorite verses Grubbers. Now let's see what the star jungler can do against a tougher opposition.

3. Mini - Black Lotus Esports

vs Round Table on Varus W 8/2/8

vs Round Table on Smolder W 8/1/18

    How many players can say that they once astrogapped their opposing player so hard that not only they completely mentally boomed, tried to leave the game, and eventually left the whole server? Well the star addition for BLE can say that. Mini has always been one highest raw skill players in Discord leagues, but just not able to put it all together when it matters the most. Maybe SLE Season 7 can be the turning point?

2. Jomiie - Vitagen

vs Slim Odds on  Ziggs W 5/0/10

vs Slim Odds on Ornn W 0/1/13

    In game 1 Jomiie managed to have a clean game on Ziggs, doing everything that was asked of him, but game 2 was what puts him on the list. Ladies and gentlemen, we had the pleasure to watch The Best Ornn player in SLE history pick his champ again, even while being the botlaner. I did not think we will have the pleasure to see this again. Thank you Mr. Jomiie!

Honorable Mentions

Sovonix, TBMZ, Hadestf, JL, The Pansen, Delf, Jesseija, Dutchh, Ruzu, Kaptenen, RainD

1. Buettner - Black Flag Sailors

vs Chitaly on Kaisa W 9/3/12

vs Chitaly on Vayne W 14/5/5

    Finishing the week in style and upsetting the double MVP Good Chi roster, Buettner had a season debut to remember. What I like the most about this star adc is that he knows when it is his time to shine. He is fine missing a few cs, going a bit down in lane, and patiently waiting for his opportunities because they will come, and when the lategame bells are ringing, watch out. Buettner might be the best lategame player in SLE right now.

SLE Season 7 team logo ranking

      Ranking SLE Season 7 team logos on if I would recommend these places if they were food places.     The annual logo ranking is here. First was me ranking teams on what they would be if they were not amateur esports team:     After that, I started to train in boxing and jiu-jitsu so I had to start fist-fighting the logos:     Now I am trying to bulk. Getting up in weight has been one of the most difficult physical challenges I have done. Starting at 76kg, I am up to 82 kg, but I still have to get to 86kg in 2 months if I don't want to lose the bet and become a vegan for a full year. So without further ado, here is the list of teams as food places: 18. - Grubbers Bistro     In no way I would ever order anything from a place with this logo? Do I want to have a 36h diarrhea or just die? "Grubbers Cafe special" would be like Lithuanian Cepelinai(eww), but covered with mold. Disgusting! Last place by far. 17. Lynx Dream Cat Cafe...

Top storylines of SLE Season 7

Top storylines of SLE Season 7     For someone who has been a follower of SLE for all 7 seasons, the season 7 intro stream got me incredibly hyped for this season. The word of the season - comebacks. So many legendary SLE players, that had taken a hiatus from the league are coming back - Kaptenen, Michy D, Flay2Day, Sovonix, just to name a few. So since the buys have replugged their keyboards to battle it out, so will I, dust off the writers' pen, and return with some articles during the SLE Season 7. Here are my top storylines for SLE Season 7. Ahlefeldt, Slim Odds with a massive upgrade     Since the first time I saw Ahlefeld on the SLE stage facing Eternal Blizzard in SLE season 3 play-ins, where he had a spectacular debut on Poppy securing his team a huge upset versus then massively favorited EB squad, I have been a fan of his. To build on his legacy, he made his name with massive AP Shyvanna performances, scoring single-game and single-season kill records. Even ...

Savages MVP Tracker - Week 2

Image
                              Savage's MVP Tracker     Week 2 results are in, who is leading the MVP race? Did some players underwhelm after week 1? What new faces will we see on the list? Week 2 MVP tracking starts now! *Disclaimer - games and performances I see on stream hold higher value to me than offsteram stats. Week 2 10. Dutchh - Vitagen(NEW) vs Lynx Dream on Ivern W 2/2/19 vs Lynx Dream on Javran W 4/1/20     Seasonal MVP contender Dutchh has taken a backseat playing a more supportive role to his high-flying teammates at the beginning of season 7, and while the funny missplays and bleeding in a matchup against Ahlefeldt, took him out off the week 1 list, the continuous excellence leaves me no choice but to start putting 3x All-SLE jungler in the MVP discussion. 9. Jesseija - Eternal Blizzard(NEW) vs Black Lotus Esports on Jhin W 9/2/10 vs Black Lotus Esports on Senna W ...
