Matthew "Nadeshot" Haag appeared as a special guest on the show "Beyond the Rift." This show is hosted by popular streamers and former LCS players Michael "Imaqtpie" Santana and William "Scarra" Li. The show talks about everything League of Legends and often has special guests in order to hear the opinions of people involved in the game.





Nadeshot is the owner of 100 Thieves, the NA LCS team, and joined the show to talk about different aspects of LCS. One of the subjects brought up was the lack of personality and content within the LCS world.





A big thing Nadeshot wants more of is content creation. He brings up how there is an emotional disconnect between players and fans, and that content creation can be a way of fixing this.

As heard, he brings up "Breaking Point" and how it gave insights to struggles that Team Liquid was facing. This content was able to connect fans and was so strong that people still talk about it. He believes that this emotion and conflict between player personalities can connect to fans.





TSM has taken strives to fill this gap by creating their series called "TSM: Legends" in order to connect fans to their team. Other teams have attempted content creation in similar fashion. Perhaps if the LCS or other teams promoted more content, then more personalities would be created.





This prominent idea of personalities being promoted was further advocated by Nadeshot. He talked about how Yiliang "Peter" "Doublelift" Peng is one of the only players that trash talks, and Nadeshot believes that more players should get into it.

Now, he does say that they do not need to go overboard, but having players clash gets the community into the pro scene. This conflict creates entertainment that Nadeshot thinks people will enjoy. Perhaps he will push some 100 Thieves players to talk more!
