Biggest hype is going to be reveal show anyway, rofl.
Everyone will go ham for 2 weeks before Worlds, how every non-Korean team has a sick schedule and can go to the finals and then 3 weeks of complete hardcore whine of NA/EU fanboys/fangirls.
I just hope that OGN will make introduction to the final at least.

I just hope the reveal show goes well and the groups are fair and there are no claims of fixing >_>

Yeah I know, but I just hope it's kept to a minimum. But now that CSheep is gone I guess we won't have him around spamming "FIXEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD" "RIGGGGGGGGEDDDDDDDDD" at least.

4.14 with gnar will be the patch for promos and worlds
|
Nice! Gives pros a few months of patch to figure out instead of a few weeks. Not as good as 6mo+ cycles but a definite improvement over previous years.

Worlds are in 2 weeks, relegations next week, can't call it as few months.
Gosh, Worlds in 2 weeks, ohboy. Another season of hopes is half dead. Really wish that groups with Wildcards will have 3 legit teams each, not something like TSM-Fnatic-ahQ-Wildcard, if it happens though, i will be first to claim groupfixing.

They've already been playing on 4.14 though.

Only real deal with 4.15 is lack of Alistar toplane, noone plays Sivir/Urgot anyway or buying essence reaver (good guys).
Also it's pre-buff Gnar, so it's good.

Still better than sudden Triforce rework last year.

Only player who got affected by it was puzsu, who just played op Corki every game he could and won basically every game with it :D
Outside of Genja's Kog'Maw ofc, but it was more about Genja himself because imp failed hardcore with it next day after seeing it + those Ezreals mid were going iceborn anyway. Plus, neither of ads at S3 Worlds was particularly famous for his Ezreal play, like Doublelift or WeiXiao back in the days, so this effect was negated. Well, PraY was considered as top-player on Ezreal but when he picked it in G5 against SKT T1 K, we all remember how did it end.
Gosh, only team to really use a lot of Ezreal were Lemondogs in S3 Summer, from all Worlds teams.
Now it's going to be interesting, are teams going to first ban Alistar every game or they have already figured how to deal with it.

who said that triforce only affected Corki/ad carries?

Problem with vods:
I can look at a runtime and call out a end score.
I can see individual video length and the game loses a lot of tension when I know it's winding down.
I can see a list of 3/4 videos for a Bo5 and possibly know who wins 2 games in.

They're releasing a video of them making the groups.

It's not like it affected anything else, Irelia wasn't played, neither jungler/mid was triforce based and Jax was barely touched at Worlds, outside of Gogoing and Expession/Impact and considering Gogoing picking Jax in LPL playoffs, you can think that it wasn't because triforce got buffed or anything.
Shen/Renekton/Kennen/Zac still were way superior.

You always can claim that some balls were warmer than other, like it happens every World Cup draw.
Actually, they're going to have spoiler-free VODs on lolesports, so i guess, we can safely watch it without being spoiled, just need to avoid twitter and TL.
And you can watch whole youtube broadcast always, not knowing how many games were there.

Pick/ban doesn't support that. While the tournament was littered with Shen/Renekton, Kennen had a p/b of 4/8, Zac 14/3, and Jax 11/4. So he was close to Zac and oupaced Kennen as far as usage goes. To say Jax had no + Show Spoiler + impact at S3WC is fallacious.

Seems to me you dont know http://www.reddit.com/r/LoLeventVoDs/.
Only 1 of those points is somewhat true - individual game length. But even that is not exact since they often end some time after the game with analysis and stuff. And with the VOD system Riot will use at worlds they might take care of that as well.

Incarnati0n will not even be with SK at the bootcamp, oh boy.
To clarify why I'm posting this the initial announcement was only that he couldn't go backstage, some speculated (on reddit at least) that he may still help them bootcamp or remote coach. He will be doing neither.

Whats really interesting is after this worlds i gonna look if more champs got used then in the worlds before. I mean more champs used would be a pretty positive indicator of balance. xD

You're joking right? Riot helping reduce spoilers for worlds?
EU people couldn't log into league last year without being fucking spoiled even though games were being played at 1am. If they didnt watch it live they were FUCKED.
They gave literally zero chance for people to catch up with vods and zero warning that they would be doing so.
