Is anyone watching Scarra's stream right now? Apparently someone by the name of NoS hacked some guy's account. NoS seems pretty famous if the chat's any indication, anyone know the story behind this guy?
NoS basically keylogs people. Anyone who gets "hacked" by NoS is simply dumb enough. All he does is keylog.

Now it's Dyrus on Riven. Hopefully he is much less derp-prone than Scarra was that game. He had 3 or 4 obvious mistakes in that game. To his credit, though, he seemed to realize them quickly. But that mid push at the end was extra derp, lol.

Yesterday while watching OGN LoL, I wondered why the hell it had so few viewers against just a few TSM / CLG players who easily got 20k viewers at the time :S
Because:
A.) It's a bad time slot for western viewers
B.) Most of the teams in the tournament suck. The handful of good teams won't be playing each other until the late rounds. There are some teams with players as low as 1500 Elo.
C.) The English commentators are horrendous and many either don't know how to find the Korean commentary streams (which are lower video quality) or don't want to listen to a language they don't understand.

Also the ogn tourney isn't really advertised anywhere, I only know because I saw a thread on TL+clg being in korea for some reason.

How come Riot doesn't put the stream inside the client like for all the other events?

a) I agree with A.
b) I think there are at least two strong teams in each group. I'm a noob so I could be wrong.
c) Compared to the IGN streams and other LoL tourneys I've seen moletrap + torch do fine. I'd say they're better than some. They have some issues to work on and are getting better, but overall they're okay to me.
I think the real issue is the advertising. Riot links player and tournament streams. I haven't seen anything about OGN except on TL.

Rather have Moletrap and Torch than TheRedBaron and HatPerson. But hey, IPL got a ton of viewers, so what do I know?

Why don't pros last hit towers? Don't you get an extra 25 gold for it?

You acually get that icon and your name in screen that you killed it, reassuring your team that you arent just afk farming your lane but actually doing things.

25 for team objectives like dragon and baron, but nothing to tower

Thanks for pic MoonBear
I feel Riot has just been keeping the Asian market separated from the rest of the world for some reason. You can see that the OGN tournament is advertised on the Korean client just like how we get the IPL link. Likewise I don't thnk they got a link to IPL this past weekend. I think there would be a lot of interest in NA and EU about the Korean scene since Korea has been known to produce really good video game players. And it works the other way around (Koreans like watching/knowing more about good players and teams) so they would like big international tournaments like IPL. Maybe we'll finally see this for the next IPL when they get some teams from each region.
We also here very little about the Chinese scene. The Nvidia Gaming Festival is going on right now and Riot hasn't done much to promote it in NA from what I've seen. Maybe someone from China can tell us what events Tencent promotes over there.

Those were the NGF online qualifiers. The actual event doesn't happen till the end of the month.
EDIT: rofl the PLU commentators are so bad. As expected, I guess. Their DotA commentators aren't that good either.
EDIT 2: LOL commentators talking about AP Blitz mid + Nocturne jungle duo queue.
