I specifically remember the Thursday practice. What made this practice stand
Rodeo State Finals This is what I had been hoping for the entire year. I had been to many that were quite the same to this one, but none that could give me the same enduring edginess and serenity that I was feeling right now.

Striving to be out of the sweltering sun, but not out of clear view of what I came for, I lead myself in a mighty search for the spot for which I belonged. As I sat down, I prepared

As the developers did not want the “jungle” players to have overall top gold gained in the game because they did not want them to take over the early phase of the game killing champions left and right. That job is believed to be for the “ranged AD carry.” The reduction to experience in the “jungle” was because it is safe place to kill minions.

What makes a champion? It is not the trophy. It is not the talent. Not the salary, the most points, the fastest time, or the most records. It is not even being the best of the best. All of these things are just the benefits of what makes a true champion. You see, the real winners in life are those who have the courage to see the impossible.
