AMA with Flame - "My Favorite Champion? Kennen & Jarvin IV"

Greetings, Gamers! This is Inven Global.


With League fan’s fervor for Worlds mounting up, Inven Global has prepared an event for League fans: an AMA with a top League of Legends pro gamer!


The 7th pro gamer we have invited for our AMA is Flame from LCS NA Immortals!

 

 

Flame is a top laner that has awed many League fans with powerful laning and his outstanding skills ever since he debuted in CJ Entus. After he left CJ Entus, he went through playing for LGD Gaming and Longzhu Gaming, and then joined Immortals, which he led in Worlds by picking up his old pace back in 2017 Summer Split. 


We will be holding a live AMA via our comment section at the bottom of this article, starting from October 23rd, 23:00 PDT (October 24th, 15:00 KST). Flame will be reading all your questions from the comment section, and he will personally answer them, so feel free to ask all you want! Anything is okay- from Flame’s gameplay to personal questions regarding hobbies! He will also be answering your questions after the live AMA, so feel free to leave questions and comments below right now!

 

 

Also, we will be giving a 1350 RP gift to 10 randomly selected people who participate in the AMA event.


We hope that many league fans will join in on asking Flame questions and win free RP! Thanks!

    Hi, Flame, I'm sorry to hear that IMT is denied by NA LCS next year, what's ur plan for next year, will u stll in IMT or will u find a new team(for instance LPL team, they've done well at Wolrds and seems like chinese fans love u a lot)? is it any solution for IMT issue, will they come to EU LCS? kinda worried about ur future, u did a really good jod this whole year. Wish u the best!

      @Aprilkoala

      Since I have experience of living abroad and I can speak English, Korean, and Chinese (a little bit), I believe that I can play well in any teams that can play in the top of Worlds. I feel confident. And I don't think Immortals going to EU LCS would be a solution and as far as I know, I don't think the team would want to anyway...

    After spending a while in NA, what do you think it is that separates the level of play between NA and KR?

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @Lumi_s

      Several things, but first of all, the quality of solo ranked games, and as for Korea, it feels like Korean players play like they have to play for their life, but NA seems different- they also enjoy other aspects of life as well as playing games.

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @Flame

      It may be cultural difference, but it seems that Koreans like competition more.

    Do you think the LCS could do without a Spring Split and instead have a minor International tournament. This could help expose more teams to stronger regions which might then promote growth the weaker regions.

      @WorstNA

      I don't know for sure... I don't think it's realistic, but if the league itself becomes more competent, maybe it would be okay.

    do you think age in esports is something that can play a big role in your performance?

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @llkritsos In my experience, it didn't so... But it may affect in health aspect like getting sick from playing long or your wrist hurts or so... Not for me, though T_T

    Hey Flame! What do you think caused Longzhu, a team you played against, to get 3-0ed by Samsung?

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @kingblanke

      Several things, but the team got countered


      Personal skills are similar, so team performance would be important. Current meta didn't work for Longzhu, which usually practiced for the meta that focused on the top lane. I think Longzhu lacked in practice for the current meta.

    You've been playing top lane for so long now.. What was your favorite meta to play in? (You are my inspiration!)

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @Tsohe

      AP/AD top laners when I was playing in LCK, but I think playing tank in top lane is the most important to get good team results.

    So this is actually 2 questions. 1.) do you plan on staying in the LCS with the tragic denial of immortals for the upcoming split? 2.) if Immortals are accepted in a later split, would you try to get back with the organization?

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @Crumpto

      1) I was told that they will help me contact other teams if I want to.


      2) If the circumstances are good, I think I will.

    Are there any regrets you have during your time in Immortals that you wish you could have done differently?

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @Lisbts

      I tended to playing by sacrificing myself for the team, but I wish I could have played champions that I wanted to play, maybe then the result could have come out differently...

      During the splits, I usually practice during my free time, but after the splits, I like taking walks and listening to music, and chat away with friends. I enjoy playing Jarvan IV but feel so sad that I didn't get to play him much at Worlds this year. Thank you so much ❤❤

    Hey Flame! Let me ask some non-serious questions!

    A)Who is a better singer, Smeb or Reignover?

    B)Coffee or Tea? Which type?

    ♥U

    • 0

      level 1 Flame

      @VaVe_36

      a) First, Smeb doesn't sing well, but Reignover sings real good, but I do, too.


      b) I don't really enjoy drinking at cafes but I'd choose tea since caffeine doesn't work great for me. I'd choose Green tea.

      @impandora

      Top lanes are played defensive while the game revolves around mostly bot lane in LPL, but this year they were in favor of being the home team as well as the current meta.

    I have been an IMT fan since game 1 of Spring 2016. Seeing the team disappear after it's best performance is heartbreaking. If you could, would you want to stay with the same team and coach on one of the new NA teams next year? I wish you (and all of Immortals) success where ever you end up.
