No FFs Podcast

The playoffs are underway in League esports all over the world. For the most part, outside of the crazy LPL, things have gone according to plan. The most interesting series in the semifinals was the LCS match between TSM and Cloud9. C9, one of best LCS teams all year, fell in a five-set reverse-sweep. We find out how C9's draft and teamfight mistakes doomed them and how TSM need improve to face Liquid.

This is getting spicy! Picking awards is always difficult because there are so many good players, and we have to nitpick strengths and weaknesses. But it has to be done, so here we are with the LEC 2019 Spring Split Awards. Who's the MVP, Rookie (oh that's Selfmade, duh), and Coach of the Split? Tune in to find out!

The last few weeks in China's LPL have been absolute madness.  Beginning in week seven of the 2019 Spring Split, we saw several clashes between top teams, including Fun Plux Phoenix, Top Sports, Royal Never Give Up, and EDward Gaming. Who came out on top and who are the favorites going forward? We go through the video to find out.

The seventh week of the LCK 2019 Spring Split was an absolute banger. We had SKT facing off against Griffin in the best series of professional League of Legends we've seen all year. But it didn't end there, playoff teams Damwon, Sandbox, and KINGZONE all got in the action. We hit the turning point of each game as we seek to find out just how good these Korean teams are playing.

One of the most exciting developments in League of Legends esports content over the past year has been the rise of team-focused fan podcasts. In North America, one of the first such podcasts was League Leaders, hosted by Zach and George Lindsey. Their goal is to focus on one team—Clutch Gaming—and deliver weekly episodes about the team, including the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this episode, we talk about how they got their podcast off the ground and what the heck is wrong with Clutch Gaming this ye

In episode 11 of the No FFs Podcast, we have a special guest, Vince "Gelati" Collotti, a League of Legends esports handicapper. Gelati is an expert on the global game who picked it up in season one and has watched every game of Korean League ever played. We talked about how he analyzes games, what his role as a handicapper is, and then we dive into the LPL, a region we haven't yet captured on the podcast.

As we move into the second half the LCS 2019 Spring Split, things in North America are beginning to come into focus. While Liquid and Cloud9 duke it out at the top, 100 Thieves might actually just be bad. We take a look at what each team has done to reach this point and what they need to accomplish in the second half of the split.

The LEC is just over its halfway mark and that gives us the perfect opportunity to take a look at how all 10 teams are doing. Can G2 maintain their dominance on Patch 9.3 or will the likes of Schalke or Vitality catch up? Or could it be Origen who climb up the rankings into the top four? And what do Misfits and Fnatic need to do to pull things together? We examine these topics and more in our mid-split breakdown.

The North American LCS is best known in the League esports community for its clown fiestas. Week one of the 2019 Spring Split was actually pretty clean, but the throws and crazy plays came back in week two. Relive all the action and figure out where everything went horribly wrong in this comedy of errors.

The No FFs Podcast is back with an episode dedicated to League esports legends SK Telecom T1. SKT are back with a brand-new all-star roster, and a crucial early season stretch had them face off against three of the newest LCK teams. We break down the key moment in each game that decided things and look at what SKT need to do to return to championship form.
