Maitake Spends a Six-and-a-Half-Hour League of Legends Stream on Practice

INDEPENDENT — Maitake, an independent streamer on Twitch, ran a League of Legends practice stream of about six and a half hours on Sunday. The title read as one word of practice repeated six times, followed by the hashtag #LTK.

Around the three-hour mark, talk turned to playing without a locked camera. One voice said a free camera would be easier for viewers to follow, since it shows positions and the skills opponents use. Another asked how many days it would take to get used to it, and the answer that came back was about three. One voice on the stream said the next scrim could go worse while they adjusted, but that they would do their best. A message in chat offered to play 1v1 any time for anyone who wanted to sharpen their laning, even though the sender could not join the scrims.

A little past the three-hour mark, a new match opened on Summoner’s Rift. Near the end, the stream went back over a game that had just been played. One voice pointed to a moment where a Flash was used and said, “I was sure I’d died,” then talked through whether the farming and the pressure on the lanes could have gone differently.

The stream closed with a thank-you to those who had stayed, and chat answered with messages of thanks for the work and wishes of good night.
