Spotlight Streamer: Exempt Puddle

Exempt Puddle
http://clgaming.net/live/2379
I am a huge fan of watching steams. I use streams as entertainment, research, and a way to improve. Many of the streamers I watch are well known professionals in the world of competitive LoL, however there also are others that I watch as well. I love watching these streams because of the great knowledge these players have, but also because of the consistency with which they stream.
Exempt Puddle is a platinum player who streams very often. He plays a wide variety of champions covering every role. He explains almost everything that is going on and provides an incredible amount of information and insight. He also plays with his viewers quite often and helps them improve. Viewers are encouraged to upload replays of their games which he will analyze on stream to point out areas you can improve, as well as the areas where you have done well.
If you are looking for a streamer who is very informative and interactive watch Exempt Puddle's stream. Jump in his IRC or LoL chat room and suggest a champion he should play or maybe get in a game with him.

Tips: First Win of the Day

There are some of us who do not have a lot of time to devote to League. There are days when a game can be hard to get in because of time constraints or other reasons, but you want to get your IP for the new champion built up. Getting your First Win of the Day every day is an easy way to quickly stack IP for very little time commitment.
The most efficient way I have discovered to do this is to play a Co-op vs. AI Dominion game. Games are very quick, often lasting under 10 minutes, while still rewarding you with almost 200 IP. I have played Co-op Dominion games that have lasted under seven minutes.  This means your total time commitment for a game is under 15 minutes.
I love to play League, but some days for one reason or another you may not be able to or want to commit an hour or more for that FWotD. My answer to you is Co-op vs. AI Dominion.
