A Newsletter Has Joined the Game — Welcome to ScuttleStack!
Four drags and seven ganks ago, our founding laners...
Welcome to ScuttleStack!
I’m Nick Mo. I’ll be the support to your ADC, the Vision Ward to your tri-bush, and, of course, the Scuttle Crab to your honeyfruit.
I’ve covered a lot of news in my time. I’ve written for the New York Times, sifted through local news, reviewed rising musicians and work a beat in healthcare. But throughout all of that, I’m a gamer through and through. I helped develop Grand Valley Esports, had a stint as a Hearthstone collegiate player, and have been glued to games as long as I can remember.
Oh, and I like League of Legends a bit.
Here’s my lore: I’ve been playing since 2013. My very first main was playing mid as Diana, but now I’m a support player with mid in my back pocket (I usually rock Braum, Lux, Alistar or Vel’Koz). I’ll spare you the ranked details, but trust me, I’m practically LCS support material — when my team isn’t feeding or the enemy ADC isn’t broken or the enemies flip on their lag switch and turn on aimbot. You get the idea.
So here at ScuttleStack, we’re going to break down a handful of things every week through different “lanes” (and yeah, things only get worse from here).
We’re going to analyze each week of the LCS gameplay. Sometimes we’ll do quick-hits on every game and other times we’ll focus on a few games or teams. Either way, at the end of each week, you’ll feel looted and zooted enough to watch next week’s games or consume other LCS content.
We’ll talk about the stuff outside the Rift — roster changes, league drama and social reactions. A lot happens off-broadcast, so we’ll dive into that to make each game more enriching. Plus, it’s a bunch of fun.
Finally, our last lane is a wildcard where I editorialize a bit. One week may be a roundup of LCS power rankings while the next may be patch notes and their competitive implications. Either way, it’ll be like we’re queueing up for a duo together. Right? Right.
Bear with me as we organize things, grab some vision and get settled in, but feel free to stick around for the ride!

In the meantime, tell your friends, your duos and Discord server! They’ll probably think you’re pretty cool too.
