Introducing Days Gone By🏖️ Days Gone By is a yearbook-themed LTAN zine featuring all our favorite players and teams; it's a huge art and writing collaboration done entirely by fans! #LTANzine

Chovy: "We [also beat T1] at MSI last year but that doesn't mean much. I feel we still need to get our revenge at Worlds." Ruler: "Similar thought. Beating T1 at Worlds will feel like true revenge." — Gen.G press conference after winning #MSI2025 highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Throughout this MSI, I believe our team has been doing extremely well, and that’s why this loss is so regretful [and painful] Despite us losing against GEN twice, I believe we are capable of defeating them." — T1 Faker in #MSI2025 press conference 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

Riot addresses: > Future changes to the LTA merger and LTA viewership > Considering double elimination at Worlds > League of Legends Game Changers (and more!) Global Product Strategy, Lolesports: Brett Lautenbach Game Director, League of Legends: Pu Liu 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝I do think it would be pretty tough if I didn’t have the fans’ attention or love. I think I was very lucky to debut with T1, who have an incredible amount of fans. I used to think it was unbelievable.❞ — T1 Oner on the #T1WIN fanbase #MSI2025 interview 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝Not everyone outside of our circle fully understands the picture [of the team]. We just try to focus less on what others are saying — if people say [...] "They won't be successful without this player," we just try to ignore them.❞ — T1 Oner on their team at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I'll definitely remember today. The moment I heard the Silver Scrapes song and all the cheering from the LPL fans [...] This is the best memory I've ever had on stage." — AL Shanks after elimination from #MSI2025 press conference highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

"The first time I [played with the crowd against me] was 2019 Worlds against G2. Back in the day, those kinds of things really got in my head and affected me. [But] those things don’t really get to me [anymore]." —GEN Canyon with Kiin in press conference highlights 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"It was a really close game, so I’m quite sad [...] I’ll just keep thinking like we have [one more match] to make the finals." "We faced BLG before, and I’d prefer facing as many teams as possible, so I’d prefer to face AL." — T1 Doran w/ Oner highlights 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I don't think I played good, I don't think I played like shit. I think at Worlds, I played a lot more flashy hypercarries [...] I think I'm a better player than I was at Worlds, so it's hard for me to say I played better [back then] — because I don't think I did." — FLY Massu

[Continued from last thread] Inspired: even though he was blind-picked first. And we ended up playing Zilean, which we never really played. And yeah, I think we just got kinda out-drafted there. I think it was a really smart draft by them, and credit to their coach and them.

FLY Inspired and Busio address: - Why they picked Kalista - Inspired learning to "play more selfish" next time - Why they picked Zilean - How they feel after being eliminated from #MSI2025 press conference🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I feel like when we have such a young player on our team, we also start acting quite like kids ourselves. We do fight around and play around quite often amongst the team — and that brings up the team spirit." —CFO Junjia on playing with HongQ #MSI2025 interview 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Chovy, the entirety of this year, has been displaying great performances, so I’m really excited for the matchup. Maybe because of [my improvement] throughout MSI, I’m kind of anticipating us finally getting to beat GEN this time around." — T1 Faker🧵with T1 Keria (❤️🔥♻️) :

❝It’s very hard to predict the result for the next series, because FLY are definitely a very strong team as well [...] As BLG, we need to try our best to prepare more for facing off against FLY.❞ — BLG Bin in press conference with Beichuan 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝I think it would’ve been really nice to have our team dog around. She’s always around in Shanghai, and I feel like I always get amazing dog therapy when I have her with me. I do miss her.❞ — AL Kael on the team dog, Bali 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"If I had to pick one player [I enjoy meeting], it must be FLY's top laner Bwipo. He's a really friendly person, and I really appreciate the opportunity for us to speak to each other." — AL Tarzan Press Conference with Flandre🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"[Skewmond] played pretty well; I think it was pretty hard to get a lead over him. I think he was just doing his job. I think his teammates sometimes just inted a bit too much." — FLY Inspired on G2 SkewMond press conference with FLY Busio 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I don’t think I played that well today. I think we obviously got super-stomped, and especially the first game was very bad on my part. I don’t think, though, that [this] means that I’m close to the end of my career." — G2 Caps on elimination from #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

❝We still have more creative champs, but you don't just force it for the sake of creativity; you pick it when it's good. [...] Maybe you can [force it], but we believe we're a good team, so we don't need to.❞ — FLY Busio on criticisms of their "standard" drafts 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"[Against FLY], it's gonna be fun playing against my former teammate Inspired. [...] Rogue ... it's been a while. It would be four years ago. Fun memories. It's gonna be fun to face off against him." — G2 HansSama on facing FLY at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Based on what I’ve watched so far here at MSI, other regions look very strong [...] I think the gap has for sure closed" "[Before], I believe LCK & LPL were the two dominant regions — but this MSI [...] all the regions are on the same level." — T1 Gumayusi and Doran

"Theoretically, I should be the one to play Ornn, but because of my bad condition [at the moment], Rest [had to] take this responsibility. But he shouldn't have needed to. I feel really sorry for him that he had to take this on" — CFO Driver Conference w/ Kaiwing🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I didn't know much about Jojopyun before this game, but after today's best of five, I'd really like to give a big shoutout to Jojopyun — he did very well." — BLG Knight on MKOI Jojopyun Press Conference highlights🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"Today, we played fine, but I don't think we played insane. I think we made plenty of mistakes. Credit, of course, to BLG — because they are a strong team — but I have no doubt, if we face them again, we will beat them." — MKOI Alvaro MKOI Alvaro + Supa 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"It's going to be a very interesting match because I think I'm the youngest one in this tournament for the mid laners, and he's the most experienced one. I've actually watched Faker play League of Legends since I was very young — maybe elementary school." — CFO HongQ 🧵(❤️🔥♻️)

"I think KOI vs. BLG can be pretty close. Closer than [FLY vs AL], most definitely. I don’t think BLG is as clean as some of the other Eastern teams" "I could see KOI winning; I wouldn’t be absolutely shocked [...] 3-1 or 3-2 BLG." — FLY Busio on MKOI vs BLG at #MSI2025 (❤️🔥♻️)

"After every single victory, I’m just going to celebrate it with my dance. To be honest, I’m already thinking about what kind of dances I want to show on stage. So yeah, looking forward to that." — CFO Driver on #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I feel like if FlyQuest can manage to play around how aggressive AL plays, maybe there's a chance for them to win for sure. In this meta, I feel like there's always a chance that people can win." "I think it might be 3-2, AL." — G2 Hans Sama on FLY vs AL at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I'm also really looking forward to play against Bwipo. [He] can always bring some new picks or unexpected picks — and find very good counters. [...] I'm really looking forward to it. It's going to be a very interesting Bo5 [vs] FLY, I think." — AL Flandre #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

"I don't really know about their team because honestly, I don't really watch the LPL, but [...] they have good teamfights." "We have a chance to win this MSI, I think." — FLY Quad on facing AL at #MSI2025 🧵(❤️🔥♻️) :

❝ The champion I feel is very fun to play and I want to bring on stage is Ezreal support. But, unfortunately, Ezreal has always been picked in the first or second games of Bo5s by ADC players. ❞ — BLG ON reveals his pocket pick. Interview🧵(❤️🔥♻️):

❝Looking at their lineup, I think every player has their own kind of weapon and their own unique pick. So I think that's gonna affect a lot — in a very good way — in Bo5s with fearless. So I'm very excited and looking forward to their matches.❞ — GEN Canyon on FLY (❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"I didn't say hi [to Chovy today] because we were so far, [...] But I met Keria yesterday. We went to the gym together. To be honest, we don't really work out [normally], but we just went to the gym together for no reason." — FLY Quad on reuniting with his friends🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️)

"The [MKOI] top, Myrwn, has left me a very strong impression — but I don't want to play against him. [...] It could be really troublesome for me to handle his pocket picks. I know him, but I don't really want to play against this." — CFO Driver on Western players he watches

"I think FlyQuest is a really nice team. When they came to Brazil, they scrimmed with us, and they’re really amazing people. So it’s not a problem to cheer for FlyQuest." — FURIA Ayu #LTASul

"It's incredibly obvious to us that teams don't think we're good at LoL, which is pretty funny. We know that we're good. We beat a lot of teams in scrims — teams that people [online] think are a lot better than us. We're smashing them in scrims." — FURIA Thinkcard🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"Everyone's really beat up over it. [...] No one's gonna feel good after it. [...] FLY's got really great things that they do that we should learn from — [and] we've done that really well this split to catch up to them and do better. Just have to do more." — C9 Inero (❤️♻️)🧵:

"That we didn't get the feats. I heard about it from my coaching staff, they told us instantly [...] If we didn't notice, then it's on us? You don't really notice a lot of things. What if someone's spell bugged? I think it's [on] people who referee the game." — FLY Inspired

“I want the NA fans to still support me. You guys better make sure to count me and KOI as NA representatives. I'm really proud to come from NA. It makes me feel happy that they wanna [cheer for] KOI as NA.” — MKOI Jojopyun on going to MSI 🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️):

"I would for sure rather be in MSI already. But I think the format has to be fair. [...] Back in the day, it was just one team [going] to MSI. So it gives a similar vibe right now." — FLY Inspired🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

❝ We played [Kassadin] one time against G2, [and] lost the game in 15 minutes. Complete stomp. I knew my Kassadin ticket was over. But today, they picked Viktor, Rumble. They had no CC, and Vladi's not good at laning, so I knew I'd be able to scale. ❞ — MKOI Jojopyun🧵:

"Playing against [Impact] is way easier than playing against, like, Bwipo or Thanatos." "Honestly, after scrimming FLY, it's like you lift [250 lbs] on a bicep curl, and then you're going down to like 50 lbs against every other team." — SR Fudge 🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"It's always possible to change stuff. Changing the roster is the easiest solution [...] Should we change the roster? I have no fucking idea. I just watched the game 10 minutes ago. We got beaten. I'm probably [not in] the best headspace to answer that." — TL Spawn🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"I mean, if we can’t go Worlds, there's no point, honestly. If it was three spots, I’d be pretty confident after C9 and FLY. We watch our scrims with other LTA teams [and none of them] deserve to be in a great spot." — Dignitas Rigby🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"I don’t know what the future’s gonna hold after this split. Hopefully, we’ll find that out soon. But it doesn't really change my opinion on what we should do for the team, besides lean into the idea that this could be our last split." — @goldenglue.bsky.social 🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"For the first week and a half, scrims were actually really good. But 2 days ago, we had 2 players starting to feel unwell, and we dropped like 8 games in a row. [...] If you would've asked me 3 days ago, I'd be very confident we'd win." —‪ @goldenglue.bsky.social 🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️) :

"If you think about Sheiden's champion pool, [...] I'm just keeping Yuuji in there to contest the carry jungle champion pool, you know? Whereas, last week, I thought that it was gonna go to utility — which it did. UmTi can play that very, very comfortably." — TL Spawn🧵(❤️‍🔥♻️):

"They like to fight, they like to skirmish a lot. If we only take skirmish[es] and fight on our terms — fights that we think are better for us — I think we will beat them. I think we just need to [avoid] their game, and focus on what we wanna do." — SR Ceos on facing 100T
