Raider

I mark today as the end of the Korea Bootcamp. I finish the trip peaking Rank 2 1998 LP. I am sadly out of time to get Rank 1 this trip but I WILL return once more to this region next year and finish it once and for all. Thank you all for supporting me during the climb. ❤️

Raider 🇧🇦 claimed that LP gains felt off during the final 2 weeks of his Korean bootcamp, and that it cost him a real push at the top of the ladder. Given his pedigree, we investigated. He wasn't imagining it: Between 1 July and 6 July, his avg. LP per win tanked 26% vs June (+20 → under +15), while losses deepened to -26 (from -21). So the requirement to simply not lose ground jumped from 51% to 64% overnight. For context on how brutal that is: a 64% winrate in KR top 10 lobbies, where every game contains pros and Challenger one-tricks, is roughly what the very best players on earth sustain during hot streaks. Grizzly, the current KR Rank 1, is running 55% across his whole season. Raider needed to outperform the Rank 1 player's season-long winrate by nine points just to tread water. After the 6th, LP gains / losses snapped back to normal. What's unusual about this is Raider hit the same ~2,630 LP on June 20 with completely normal gains. Same player, same LP, two weeks apart. Only the July peak was impacted. And it wasn't just him. The entire KR top 10 saw their LP economics dip in that exact window, though at a fraction of the severity. Something changed on July 1. A patch, an MMR recalibration, a system test? We can't say which. But the numbers don't lie, and neither did Raider.

Rank 1 Darius World Raider 🇧🇦 officially concluded his Korean Bootcamp peaking at 2,661LP Rank 3. Due to a combination of time constraints + adjustments in Avg LP gained/lost towards the last few days of the climb, he was unable to attain his goal of Rank 1. Raider has confirmed he will be returning later this year to get the job done.

@Elite5002 bro at that point just move places, my neighbours yapped ab my clicking while I full mute stream god forbid its not dead silence in the building 24/7

u guys know how i whisper after 10pm cause my neighbour when i stream during the day and speak a bit too loud my neighbour turns on a korean league streamer rage compelation and leaves his appartment, turns it on max volume i tried to knock on his door and ask that i'll be quieter even during the day, and he does not do this but no ones home shocker :-DD genuinely such absurd rage inducing

I am so fucking excited to play EUW soloq again

@Sardoche_Lol I didnt get Aegis for 2-3 weeks once before I had the swap from +20 to +14

@RaiderEUW The offset with gain/loss is simply because aegis doesn’t give any bonus MMR So basically, the more you get aegis, the more your MMR is distant from your elo Because it has always been a lie. (When you get AFK and can FF you still lose MMR also)

Rank 1 KR climb is over. I have managed to peak Rank 3 this time but sadly Riot implementing secret LP bottleneck that makes ur gains +14 -26 after 2.6k LP making it almost impossible to finish with my remaining time. I will attempt Rank 1 one last time at the end of the year.

@Sinerio1 Na but I went 3 sessions in a row 50% wr -180 LP 😭

Really impressive climb from Raider. These LP gains are beyond terrible and should never be a thing to discuss about. He has 3 unlucky losses into grinding entire week to make up for it 🙈🤣😭

@VielBlaBla will do

@RaiderEUW Hey any chance you would upload some more of your kayle games?

@w_1_n_n_a his gains were +16 -24 and everyone below him had way worse

@RaiderEUW Does the rank 1 player there have the same gains?

@Pobelter @hawolt

Does anyone know how to have Twitch save VODs when streaming from Korea? Is VPN only option?

Grinded really hard for this one S16 RANK 1!

@drewlevin x.com/i/status/20722… could you take a look at this?

@sempersolus12 @RiotPhroxzon @drewlevin ❤️🤝

@RaiderEUW @RiotPhroxzon @drewlevin has nothing to do with the post but I've been watching you for a really long time Raider. Subbed for over 2 years. Our countries play tonight! Sretno večeras brate, much love bro.

I had +20 -20 / +19 -21 gains last 20 days and suddenly from last game where I got +20 It went to +15 and then next game from -20 to -26? Is this intended or a bug? I'd really like to know an answer since I'm leaving KR soon. RaiderGO#TWTV0 KR @RiotPhroxzon @drewlevin

@Majkelsn @RiotPhroxzon @drewlevin ?

@RaiderEUW @RiotPhroxzon @drewlevin maybe not intended but deserved for sure

I brought it home mama. RANK 1. #Alhamdullilah

TOP 10 KOREA FINALLY. BUT THE JOB AIN'T DONE.
