"I'm Manuel Mildenberger, I use the abbreviated form of my nickname on my LoL account due to accname-length issues. I'm a student at the University in Tübingen, Germany."

"I have started playing with CS offline with some friends on Lan (who didn't), then progressed to WC3 for custom games/ladder and was quite good at it but never competitve. I progressed to DotA and from time to time I played WoW (who didn't²) but mostly for leveling and quests, not so much raiding or PvP which I only enjoyed in Vanilla WoW. I started playing League of Legends some time after the actual release (no cool beta player here)"

"I always tried to do my best and get some way up into higher ELO in ladder where I never did so well (I'm really low ELO right now I think) - I was once high in top 20 for about a week or so where i was noticed by 2-3 teams and was really lucky to be asked by Wetdream and the guys back then to be able to trial for them. It's still a game I enjoy playing a lot and I spend a lot of time in normals with friends when I have the time - more often I even enjoy ARAM custom games. But when the team is here and ready, we all wanna go for practice matches."

"In this order:
The cool guy from my team, Rune System, the hope for new maps and reworked masteries, community & friends, trolling, the very creative champion designs riot is working on"

"I think LoL is definitely suitable for competitve play. The games are really fun to watch and as you just said it is received very very well from the community with all the record numbers on the streams on dreamhack. I think people wanting to see the competitve matches proves that it is suitable. Due to its huge fanbase, LoL will definitely get very big. And their staff is just awesome."

"There has kind of been the flavour of new champions being released to be a bit too strong so people might wanna buy them more, which I cant support that much for any of the champions. Mostly the champions feature new mechanics and of course riot cant make them weak because it is one of the most income sources they have i think. But with all the new mechanics it's really hard to adapt at first. A lot of Champions have been considered weak at release and after 3-4 weeks have just been stomping suddenly.
I am pretty happy about the balance actually and about the summoner spell flash actually. I know people won't like me for this.
I hope Riot adapts the 6-bans in for their ranked games thought, as 4 are just too few.
What really has to improve are servers. But we all know that and I know riot is really trying to."

"Not really, just the IEM tournament in Hannover/Cebit. It was really exciting to go there."

"Awesome. If you just walked through the halls with like 500+ computers in them and people playing... amazing to see. As for LoL, you could actually talk to all the players and everyone was really nice to each other in person. At nights we used to be in the hotel lobby/floors together and get our asses kicked for being too loud :P
The riot staff as mentioned before are all so cool and funny aswell, so nice to hang out with those guys."

"Well-organized and funny, no one put you under too much pressure from the organisers. It was sad with some of the disconnect because some teams had more than others or just in bad moments.
As for the experience with my team, we were really sad that peke couldn't be there in the groupstage, where we didnt do too well but thanks to wewillfailer could still play it and move on to relagation stage. It was amazing to do this great comeback on the second day and owning with the full team."

"Definitely yes. aAa (now Millenium) always are the most frightening opponents for us and very strong individual players. I almost always get outfarmed by Yellowstar on an ad carry bottom lane for example and have no shame admitting that he still does the laning phase better than me. Even though we know them you might think we know what to expect; but what about the Jarvan picks in the grand finals? Really awesome from Linak to just go ahead and take it on with a champ he actually never played in competitve, respects there. Or the double teleport in the last game? I was so frightened on bottom lane I didnt go towars any of the brushes because I was crapping my pants if they would have teleported to some hidden ward in there.

As for the US/SEA teams it were all great games. I wanna do a quick shoutout for Doublelift's Blitzcrank (Epik Gaming) who frightened me the most throughout the whole tournament because he was just amazingly raping everything. Westrice's Akali in Combination with Doublelift's Lee Sin was raping my Miss Fortune big time. No doubt there. I really enjoyed beating them ofcourse aswell but I fear they are gonna adapt further to European playstyle or gonna start to counter ours badly. They definetely have a lot more potentional to become an even bigger threat.
The SEA are gonna improve even more if they get more competition on their servers/in their country. There is NO doubt in that.
Wall of Text. Amazing."

"Well, it's hard to say. SK has its heights and his lows in their performance. And they just randomly change from one day to another in my eyes which is kinda sad. It was so much fun to be with them on IEM because we spent a lot of time togehter after the games and everything, but the guys from gamed were also very funny to be around.

I personally think that using Sleezy on a support in the qualifications was a big mistake. But I'm sure they had their reasons. Additionally, having too many players in a team just makes it really complicated.
SK wins us today, tomorrow we win SK, it just changes randomly. Skillwise, they could have won like most of the teams on Dreamhack."

"It's a combo we knew of to be amazing. But, does Shushei need practice when the target already stands still after I hit them? :P

I'm just kidding. The reaction time of him/by the teams is amazing when I suddenly shoot an arrow and they are even there faster than me. I barely ever say that I am going to arrow because the time windows are so close where you can catch someone; but the guys have a feeling for it anyway. Arrows most of the time hit when u do it on feeling/instinct, not when u think about it. Besides, missing arrows isnt bad. Just go again after 70seconds. :P It's most important to be relaxed for doing good arrows. If ur team pressures you, you won't hit. Simple as that.

It's sad that the commentators missed 2 of my arrows on the stream where people just died in mid because I random arrowed them and peke had an easy kill to pickup with mal'zahar for example, works so nice. Random arrows from bottom-mid are my love"

"There is no real best AD carry. Ashe has yet proven to be extremely good in those kind of tournaments. I personally have 100% win chance with Ashe on offline events :P im not gonna wanna change that :D. The thing is you kinda have to carry her through laning phase and I could not do this without my Mellisan. Never.

As you said, the other Carries deal more damage, every single one of them has their own purpose where they are better, but no one has the slow potential or an initiate spell like ashe. Every1 else basically is a stronger laner than Ashe but that arrow is just too gud.
For example:
MF really suits AoE setups and counters healing combos.
Tristana is a beast in laning solo against melee champions or duo with an agressive sona (CandyPanda and Nyph from gamed just too strong with that.) and helps also against healing teams and just rapes everyone else in lategame.
Corki feels like an ap carry in early-mid game and does serious damage and has the extra escape mechanism on his w for example."
