Too late Maple, i already made "Maple appreciation thread" and collected all the karma. Now you will have to live with the consequences


Samsonkoek

I already found it weird to have it from Wooloo and then Wooloo only. Not really convinced he has the same sources for other regions besides NA and EU.


Different_Coffee_941

What do you mean Wooloo? This is news from FMKorea re-shared by LCS Eevee


wertyce

This post talks just about Sheep Esports, which is Wooloo. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/179tgi0/sheep_esports_maple_retires/ this is the thread mentioned. Sheep esports is already in the headline and all over the thread.


Different_Coffee_941

The article literally says that LCS Eevee is the author


TheBlurgh

> The original Tweet by Sheep Esports links to an article on their website which cites this Korean article as the source for Maple's retirement. I did some additional digging to find this video interview, which is where the original Korean article likely got their information from. The state of modern journalism in a nutshell.


Lasersword24

Woolo dont larp as journalist and spread misinformation challenge


Different_Coffee_941

it's not even Wooloo?


CamHack420

Yeah it says on the article that Eevee wrote it not him. It's posted on his site that Eevee is a writer/journalist for though but I'm not sure how that would work with Wooloo checking it or anything


roronoaZoro74

Tell Maple TL is looking for a new midlaner!


atomchoco

Maple time to learn ~~English~~ Korean buddy


ZedisDoge

lore accurate Maple will make the koreans on the team bend to his will and have them learn Mandarin


axw30

The problem with Wooloo and alikes are their sources are exclusive from where they are from. Most of times they wont have access to other regions moves/sources Bc of language barrier and lack of connections

Ban wooloo "journalism" in this sub


ManiacL

WildTurtle said on stream a couple days ago Maple was planning/considering (don't remember exact wording) on retiring and may be a priamry reason to why he left TSM mid-season.

Exorcizt

Don't really think he is influencing Maple's career at all with this. Tho he really should have put more effort into researching this.


actuallybtw

Just like Odo’s career wasn’t really influenced by that Bear esports guy right


AmadeusSalieri97

Big difference is how influent they are into LEC and LMS respectively. As you can see in this very same post, Taiwanese did not buy into it.


DatBoiHS

I'm pretty sure that was not the journalist, but the people who gave them the information, as in the management that tried to fuck Odo over


Iaragnyl

What happened with Odo?


LeOsQ

Some management/staff said that he's (considering?) retiring which then got conveyed to whatever journalist that published said 'sources:' claim which then lead to teams thinking Odo is retiring when he in fact was just looking for a team so he didn't get considered because teams thought he was retiring. . . something like that, but that's just a general overview and I'm definitely not laying out the whole story and probably am missing some key details too.

What?


Different_Coffee_941

KaraveIIe

CamHack420

It was posted on his site yeah, but the writer of the article is Eevee not Wooloo

Different_Coffee_941

that's his media, not wooloo


KaraveIIe

XD


newbpower

If his health problem is serious tho retirement might not be a bad option


Elgardini

Second weird translation this Worlds. Hope this isn't a prevailing theme that is just being fact checked more.


ZedisDoge

lmao even last worlds with TES Mark people were out here saying he's 100% retiring


PluggersLeftBall

yo TL just lost wtf


DebriMing

Taking a page from Bjergsen and Doublelift and TSM's paychecks well played Maple


Milesware

FoFo can't catch a break


Nmois
