Something tells me Phreak was super excited for this.
23
The riot executives probably explicitly stated that Phreak couldn't even mention "Captain Teemo" or sing a Teemo related song during this spotlight.
6
I'm sure that idea was in his mind, but I'm glad he decided to keep it professional.

I miss the part they use to do at the end where the champion uses some part of their dialogue.
22
he didn't mention global taunt D= its an integral part of his gameplay!

That info about Baron was so random and in my opinion isn't really specific to Teemo. Maybe they should have a Baron and Dragon spotlight highlighting the finer details of those two monsters as well as different strategies in securing them and their importance in the game.
10
Not many people would watch a dragon and baron spotlight and a lot would mock it. This is a neat way to educate some noobs.
13
Maybe just call it the Jungle Spotlight? It would go over timers, camps, buffs and objectives.
5
They occasionally put some information into a Champion Spotlight of more general interest. I suspect they play a game to get video footage, look at what they have, and write something based on that.
6
Agreed. People have been saying the spotlights are staged, but especially for doing ones on older champs, these all look like legit games.
4
Maybe, but that top Akali was a real baddie if this was real. I can't imagine any halfway decent Akali lose that hard to a Teemo of all people.
5
But Teemo does tons of damage.
1
Reminds me of the Ryze in... I think it was the Xerath spotlight? At the end of the game he had like one mana item and then about half of a gunblade.
...As Ryze.

Yeah that makes sense.

I feel like part of this video is to demonstrate how to counter akali (cough ipl cough)
8
"First, I make sure that the enemy akali has no idea how to play that champion. Since akali has yet to get a spotlight, I know that she has no idea what to build or what skills to max first. I take a point in toxic shot at level one and right click akali, knowing that she won't notice my auto attacks. When she somehow manages to accidentally hit me with her mark, I kite her, picking up an easy first blood."
17
I'm not saying that the akali is good, but even westrice on akali would get shutdown if he was blinded.
5
Warning : This video contains tons of TONS OF DAMAGE
5
it's akali. I would certainly hope so Oo

I love the build in this one.

No teemo would ever win vs an equally skilled akali. That short blind can do shit.

Teemo is actually a good counter to Akali top lane regardless of his natural squishiness.
-
Just make sure to place some mushrooms in the bush and as any Akali will try to jump you after level 6, and while she's jumping she wont realize there is one or two shrooms in the bush.
-
blind her so she cant trigger the mark.
-
Ignite her and proceed to auto attack her.

???

Profit. You've just killed the most "OP" champion in the game.

Teemo actually counters quite a lot of champions top lane just because of his speed and blind, I don't think many people realise it!
1
great vayne counter.

The spotlights have been steadily getting better and better in their formatting. The way he explained his items was very fluid; far better than the tree method they had been doing before. If I had never played Teemo before, I'd have a very solid idea of what to expect after watching this.
Gotta hand it to the Riot staff for keeping up with aesthetics and paying attention to small things while they work on the big things.

It was nice playing with Phreak! Too bad we lost.
5
Well if you had won we wouldn't have had a spotlight!
"I take a point in poisons and die immediately" just wouldn't work as well.
:D
12
I think it would.
"Well this Akali just pooped all over me, but what I should have done was..."
2
Finally. I've been waiting for this one for forever. Good to see he uses mushrooms offensively when fighting. Until this I've never seen anybody else do that. (btw, who else thinks more people need to see the bonus baron tutorial they fit there in the middle?)

CAPTAIN PHREAK ON DUTY.

i think phreak makes this each time when new content for the champion comes up, such as the new singed skin, super teemo.
1
What about Blitzcrank?
1
he was free that week
7
an explanation for every thing. DAMN YOU SOLE CALIBUR!
4
same thing i was thinking before posting, maybe phreak finally got a good game with blits to make a spotlight, dunno.

Whelp, time to stop playing for a few weeks.
1
Sounds very much like TheRainMan's guide on Solomid :D Same runes, almost same items and masteries
1
Yeah, it's very similar to Rain Man's old build, minus the Wriggles.

Looks like teemo is the new akali counter
1
That heimer was too damn good.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUU

No one noticed how he is actually showing us that akali (Fotm) is easily counterd by teemo.. Rather then giving us a teemo spotlight xD

Been playing since early beta and this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned how the baron knockup works
I've been playing for a year, and while you are right, its pretty easy to figure out. You see a little green thing under you, move before it knocks you up. Maybe I used to play too much WoW.
I know that feel
the Getting knocked up feel ? I'm sure you do caitlyn :)
pot kettle eh Ms. Cox?
Welcome to WoW raiding 101. Your first lesson is DON'T STAND IN GREEN/RED/BLACK/VOID SHIT. It will generally kill you. Later, we'll learn why you want to stand behind your tank and protect your squishy dpsers and healers!
Well, officially, you should have been told by someone ingame after eating a few.
