And if you don't have 10 booths, it looks terrible. When you win, you show it :o

zzz...
That's a retarded scenario. Herp derp, HuK comes out of his booth asaply after a game.
There are benefits to having a stream/cast delayed by 1-2 minutes. I'd rather not have casters tip toe around their casting during key points of a game if the booths are not soundproof or have player be able to read the audience's reaction. It's far easier and cheaper to delay a stream by a little bit than invest in top notch gaming booth, for example.
But seriously, is a minute delay on stream going to ruin your experience of being at or watching a live tournament? -_-
Edit: your example of Gamescon even proves my point. LoL isn't like SC where individual players get their own booth. iirc, LoL played on a stage where each team sits at a long table. A delay is a necessity at LANs. Fair play should trump all.

Really? He's so fun. Run mp5 yellows and Q them all day. I've also seen a fair amount of Galio middle against their AP, he just ruins them by stacking MR.

Fun is all relative. Most people don't enjoy playing a more support role and would rather be that guy who's 10/0 doing all the killing.

THIS is what you should expect in every single solo Q game. Yes, this has actually happened to me.

Fnatic are amazing on vent. They are constantly joking and having fun, all the while saying everything that needs to be said and not raging at eachother.
So jealous.

I wasn't going to say anything as I believe people are entitled to their own opinions, but seeing this scumbag jatt stuff on this forum bothers me. I don't want any "Scumbag Jatt" stuff on a forum that I respect. Any reasonable person could see that Scarra DID actually have video card troubles for the second disconnect (he completely stopped moving during the teamfight). Just because Jatt didn't want his team to stream doesn't mean he's an asshole, it just means he's very competitive (which he is, he gets really animated and excited while playing). What happened is what happened, and ultimately it wasn't Dignitas' fault for what occurred. WCG should have realized what was going on and made some decisions before it came down to AFTER the finals. As someone who has actually played with Dignitas and met them in real life they are all great guys (Scarra is arguably the nicest person I've ever met). They have received enough shit from all of the streamers and LoL general forums, I think they should at least get our respect here (Voyboy was getting death threats... Are you fucking kidding me?).

Why not be both? :D

Should morg shit on malz mid? I've had decent success just banning Kass and then leaving sion or morg open and then WTF BBQ destroying them mid. I trade CS as quickly as morg does and then when I hit 6 she has to either actively get ganks or just not be anywhere near me or get gibbed. Sion is pretty easy too if you get good about landing Q.
Also, I never see malz much anymore. Is there a major contributing factor or did he just die out?

Also Sion clears waves better, ganks better, and isnt countered by QSS. So there really isnt a reason to ever pick malz. Salce also mentioned that malz ratios are shit.

Hi!
I am a host of a podcast and we interviewed him the other day(it will be up soon).
he said a lot of things and cleared things up, but basically the decision was an admin thing and not their fault. voyboy/jatt didnt do anything wrong

Yea that's something scarra was pointing out on reddit. Stream all your scrims and matches and you let the possibility to the other teams to see exactly how your team synergize, and teams that do it very often (TSM, CLG, etc) mostly do it to get more viewers on their streams.

Sion gets hardcountered by damage items. That's even worse...

The stream issue is misinformed. The issue was that Hotshot wanted to cast the game from observer mode, and Jatt didn't want to allow it. Given that Hotshot was constantly in vent with CDE throughout the event, that's completely understandable.
With regard to the game pause, anyone watching the game saw Scarra 5-person Morgana ulti and STOP moving. It allowed everyone to get out of it, and then turn around and kill him. If that's not an obvious DC, I don't know what to say.

I fucking hate the elo reset, I havn't had a single close game in pre-season 2. Not a single game that was a challenge. My last 10 games have gone 5-5 and they have all been 0 challenge. 1-10 gallio. 0-12 vayne bot. followed by me just going 23-0, followed by a 0-8 jungler and a 2-7 top. 1-5 bot and 0-3 support. It's so fucking boring. It's not fun crushing anyone and everyone and it's not fun just watching all lanes go and herp derp themselves into a uncarryable state. How the fuck do you carry this shit, GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
There we go out of my system, back to solo queue.

Malz gets hardcountered by 5 QSS. Malz deals WAY more DPS than Sion, Malz has WAY more range than Sion, Malz has an AoE Silence that goes through spellshields.
Sion might be better early/midgame (which is before people get QSS, interestingly), but I'd take Malz over Sion for lategame any day.
Oh and bad ratios? Are you kidding me? 0.8 AoE on Q, 0.8 on E, 1.3 on R, and decent scaling on his W (consider that it is AoE and DoT again). That's pretty solid for his cooldowns and range.
