Counting couch Ssong from team Immortals (RIP), five different teams are represented in the NA All-Starts team.

What is really interesting is that 4 of the 6 will be with Team Solo Mid next season.

With Hauntzer, Mikeyeung, Bjergsen and coach Ssong on TSM, All-Starts is nothing but a big scrimmage for them to start practices a team (minus their bot lane of course).

But the question prior to all this is if this team is truly representative of NA's talent.

And I would argue that more or less it is. Except for one role.

Hauntzer: 34.8% of the vote for the role

Mikeyeung: 29.3% of the vote for the role

Bjergsen: 49.5% of the vote for the role

Sneaky: 52.6% of the vote for the role

Aphroomoo: 35.5% of the vote for the role


I think they choose bot lane pretty spot on, both Sneaky and Aphroomoo have shown their skill. I am wary of the Aphroomoo choice though, I think while he is very talented he truly didn't play his best this past season or two. I think Olleh is the better choice and am surprised he wasn't chosen. But Sneaky got it for sure, for me it's either him or Cody Sun.

Mid lane...I mean its the BjergerKING. Its obvious he is still the kind of midlane in NA. No one else truly compares other than Jensen.

For jungle, I am unsure if Mike was chosen for his hype and meme or his skill. I think its a good mix of both, but in NA he was truly a master in the jungle considering Phoenix 1's rough season. If not him, I would think Xsmithie deserved the title. The way he led Immortals with Ssong was just fantastic.

Going off that I think Ssong was the obvious choice for coach. His work with Immortals was something of a miracle and he deserves an absurd amount of praise.

Now...top lane...yikes

I think Hauntzer has skill for sure. He may be the best top laner in NA, but something tells me he doesn't deserve this title. After looking through the top laners though, its obvious that NA doesn't have much talent top lane. I think the title could have only gone to either Hauntzer, Ssumday, or Flame. I would have chosen Flame, but all three of them are so close I am unsure if it matters.

I think this team will easily break out group stages, rather I hope so. For TSM's sake as least they need to show up here.

Also, I am excited for Sneakygod to win the 1v1 tournament against Faker

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
