+ Show Spoiler + StarTale and Xenics are both fairly safe, although neither is confirmed. The Xenics vs StarTale match to start off the night will be the most important match for both teams, as it'll determine which team could go 3-0 in the group. If Xenics wins vs ST and then loses to Na'Vi, it's possible for ST, Na'Vi and Xenics to be in a three-way tie. If ST beats Xenics, then it should come down to Xenics vs Na'Vi(if Xenics wins then they advance with ST, both tied at 2-1, Na'Vi and CJ at 1-2 each. If Na'Vi wins, then ST and Na'Vi advance either tied 2-1 or with ST 3-0, dpending on result of CJ vs ST). For Na'Vi to advance, the easiest way is to win vs. Xenics and hope StarTale goes 3-0. If Na'Vi loses to Xenics, then they need Xenics to 3-0 and for CJ to beat ST to force tiebreakers. For CJ to advance, they need to win vs StarTale, have Xenics 3-0, and then win tiebreakers. Not looking great for CJ, and Na'Vi is really gonna depend on ST to 3-0 so they can avoid the tiebreakers. I think this is all correct, if not I'm sure someone will catch it and I can fix it. | ||

How does one explain all the different Corki to a new player? The casual players love the skins. There is always much talk about them. Apart from that, the skins are the primary product Riot sells. It is very good advertisment for them. Showing to the casuals that real pros dont use skins would surely not be in their best interest. | ||

This is hard to call. The classic Corki not only is "flying" on something, he is also flying on something with wings. The UFO Corki, on the other hand, does not have wings. The point is, skins are ALWAYS confusing to new players, no matter how trivial the modification may be. Not to mention that skins serve no advantages whatsoever in a tournament setting. In casual games it's fun to play with a skin to look "cool", but this has no place in competitive gaming. The only reason they are allowed, I think, is because Riot wants them to be allowed (so people don't feel stigmatized about buying skins). If the tournament was ran KESPA-style I am sure all skins would be banned already. | ||

If people can't understand that UFO corki and Urf corki are exactly the same, but just look slightly different then this isn't the game for them, nor is any other game. "Why does that corki look weird?" "Oh that's just a skin, makes him look different but does nothing." "OMG I DONT UNDERSTAND THIS GAME AT ALL WHY DOES HE LOOK DIFFERENT?!?!!?"<------ this really won't be the case you know. | ||

Plus there's always the abilities of a champion, you know? "man this champ is pretty uninspired, all his abilities do the same thing as corki's abilities!" | ||

People have common sense to figure out what's what dispite the different skins. | ||
