CLG Weekly
Okay, so this review will admittedly lack attention to EU, mainly because I think their coverage of the region is pretty solid, considering this is an NA-based podcast for, I assume, a predominantly NA audience. Anyway, I want to first say that I think this could be a phenomenal, absolute top-tier podcast. However, the host’s obsession with CLG honestly makes me want to unsubscribe. Maybe if he gave a fraction of his attention to any other team in NA, the co-hosts wouldn’t have to awkwardly correct his blatantly inaccurate assessments of the rest of the league. Just some examples of this — constantly blaming Dardoch’s attitude for Echo Fox misplays is lazy analysis. Putting Stixxay as a top-tier adc, this split in particular, is hazy at best. Claiming Aphromoo is 100t’s only win condition after a weekend where Ssumday completely popped off and Ryu finally seemed to find some cohesion with the rest of the team just adds to the impression I as a listener get that some of the “analysis” is getting phoned-in. Also, general treatment of TSM, Golden Guardians, Lemonnation. Banter is fine and fun, but when it stifles legitimate analyses of others, it weakens the product. With all this being said, I have noticed a much more positive atmosphere in the coverage of this season as opposed to the pretty negative energy last season seemed to erode into. It’s really frustrating that a podcast with such a high ceiling also brings me so frustration from a single member’s overwhelming bias. Hopefully, come playoffs and the exit of CLG, the cohosts of this generally insightful podcast will be able to more freely speak on the rest of the West. I know this is ridiculously long-winded, but his podcast is something I look forward to every week on my commutes, and I still think it’s one of the best out there. To be clear, I have absolutely no problem with CLG. I personally think Huhi is a super underrated midlaner, and watching Biofrost mature into what I would consider a pretty successful shotcaller so quickly is really exciting. I just would like to hear about the successes of other teams, too. Ta-ta.

If they put away their CLG fanboy boners this would be a 5 star podcast

I’m surprised there isn’t a review here. These guys are entertaining and have a lot of different perspectives.

Rundown of the LCS, LEC and Badger (unfairly so). Expertly(?) led by a tree eating rodent, the ever present and a buff caster who is as up to date on the rules as a professional sports official. Listened for years, the guys make it fun and interesting and are just knowledgeable enough to be right...Read full review »
