Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the League. Not a player was raging, not even in threes. The forums were filled with wishes so dear. In hopes that new nerfs soon would be here. When from the speakers there was a loud ring. Who could that be? A new call incoming? Back to our screens we flashed like a spell. Opened up Skype and what it did tell. And what to our wondering ears he did say. Was "let's record tonight and release christmas day". The caller was familiar and of League he could speak. Please welcome our guest David Turley. You know him as Phreak. So we hope you'll enjoy, our 53rd. We think it's the best that we've ever heard. And from all of us at Low Elo we thank you for the year. We appreciate your support. We'll keep the message clear. And on that bombshell, we delivered our closers. We said goodnight, thanks for listening and stay classy, Summoners.
