* JerkassWoobie: Creamcheese is an abrasive braggart who you probably wouldn't want to play ''League'' with in real life, [[SadClown and yet it's clear that he's also very insecure and depressed]], making his desire to win the LCS championship his life's goal and sacrificing much personally to achieve it, making it all the more heartbreaking when he still keeps coming up short. This is a CompetitionFreak who wants to win because he ''has'' to, and the show makes it clear how much of a stressful toll it takes on him.

* GeniusBonus: While the show is accessible to non-fans of esports, there's a lot of in-jokes to the professional ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' (especially the LCS in specific):
** The first episode features a flashback to the scene in 2015, and one of the teams present happens to be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Gaming Gravity Gaming]], which briefly held a spot in the LCS [[ShortRunners for only the 2015 season before folding]], [[MemeticMutation earning memetic attention]] for [[IconicOutfit their badass bomber jacket uniforms]], which are faithfully recreated in the show.
** Foresite is commented as having been signed to TSM as part of a $6 million contract, itself a reference to [=Hu "SwordArt" Shuo-Chieh=], who was signed onto the real TSM in 2020 for a contract of the same amount, the biggest contract to a single ''League'' player to date.

* SlowPacedBeginning: The first few episodes mostly take their time in establishing the fiction of the esports world and the people within it, presumably to allow newcomers unfamiliar with esports in general or pro ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' in specific to become acclimated without being completely lost, but consequently may make things drag if you ''are'' in the know of it. Once the stakes of Creamcheese's playoff arc is properly set, the pacing picks up significantly, allowing the series to go full force with the awkward hilarity and character-driven competitive drama.
