An all French LoL squad who had some of the best pros lol esports ever saw but who not everyone got to make it big in the lcs/lec era...

@Gbay99 This is an extremely well-made video. That's all. .... The clips&infographics are fitting, and they're to be expected.. However, the3 overall presentation, background music, and your narrative style are all exactly on-point. I never cared about the competetive LoL scene beyond watching Worlds with friends, I only started playing it in late 2013, and I haven't even played the game for a couple of years now, but your delivery of the story really held my attention from the start right through to the end. Excellent editing - thoughI kinda also miss your gameplay vids too. If you get tired of League, you definitely have a skill for biographical narration :)

Hello, french here, one detail that have to be mention when you talk about aAa/[M] is that one is that aAa is not a compagny, it's a non profit association. Millenium always had far more money so that make aAa LCS qualification very cool in my eyes. Kinda David vs Golliath. Will always remeber the article about the qualification where there is a picture of aAa manager opening abottle of champagne while backward there was a monitor with millenium site. Yes aAa is a small org but a human one, and that what human does: laugh ,rage, smile, cry and sometime ... Fight.
