What is blind mode ?
It's like playing Normals, where you can't see what the other team are choosing, and you can end up with mirror matches in lane.

Blind picks simply means you pick the team you believe is the strongest in the game. You cant counter pick lanes so you have to pick somewhat safer lanes or play risky and hope you dont get blind countered. Its unusual but nothing totaly over the top. | ||

To clarify: The other team would theoretically have such a composition as well, so it might be a bit like playing rock paper scissors. But they might just also try to pick whatever they think is the strongest possible composition overall instead of something cheesy. (Probably Shen top, Lee Sin or Udyr jungle, those champions are banned almost every game) | ||

What do you mean both. CLG is already through and a much much bigger deal for viewers then fnatic. | ||

Because not only do you let every op champion under the sun make it through to the game, but you lose like 75% of the strategy of lol: the bans and picks. Taking away what the enemy is good at, forcing them to play what you want them to play, ect. Plus, as anyone who plays a lot knows, mirror matchups are BEYOND stupid. And to cap it off, OGN is the ONLY tourney in the world that does this. Which makes it worse. | ||

How is it not stupid.It's all luck.All lanes except bot(it can too but not really all that hard) can be countered really easily and you don't even get to prepare specific runes/masteries because you don't even know what you have to lane against.I don't know about you but picks/bans are interesting to watch and there is a lot of thinking involved.Just removing it randomly seems very bad in my eyes. | ||

Im willing to bet there was some clenching there. I am aware they were through already, but OGN cant be happy that both times it was so close. | ||

There might have been some consternation but both foreign teams managed to produce interesting drama while emerging alive | ||
