Well he did pick a great time to do this random troll or truthful post. It does seem possible. It's just odd that CLG hasn't been signed yet. M5 got picked up again real quick. So perhaps at the time Slasher was correct but behind the scenes is a big bidding war. Well the longest we will have to wait is the first week of February to find out.

You guys have problems udyr doesn't. Udyr isnt that weak lategame you just need another strong initaitor or a strong kiter to force initiation, exactly like garen who isn't bad either. Thats not even a lategame thing its more a teamfight thing but you don't notice it as much midgame when ad carries dont do enough damage that running in makes you take lots of damage, he's not the only champ with that problem it just stands out more.
Also wukong does crazy dps with his ult and q damage reduction and e attack speed steriod, it's just getting out of lane phase is hard.

What makes me happy is the kat nerfs. She makes my mid lane a pain.

Weren't the top seeds blue side?

As far as I know, the SC2 ladder system was one of the best parts of SC2, and worked really well.
Ha, look at me, I talk about SC2 in past tense. I'm mean. What? I hated it. Give me Elo over that any day. (The matchmaking change can be implemented in any system) The SC2 ladder does use an Elo system but hides the number. The general consensus I found with the SC2 ladder progress system (the visible part with 100-person leagues) was that most people hated it as it gave no practical information to the user.
I don't really see the difference. It doesn't matter to me if I'm 1346 or 1352, honestly. The actual number means diddly, just how close/far you are from hitting the next rung. And if they give a semi-accurate estimation of how far that is (which I have faith that they will), what's the difference? I would get the same feeling knowing I'm 1490 as I would being told Rank 1 Silver, it's just semantics at that point.

Def. monster with his ult available, and his dps during a aa->Q->E->aa for 3 seconds combo, but after that you're pretty down (I dunno what's better for long-term dps: Q as soon as possible for the reset and armor reduction uptime, or wait for E to come back everytime so you can combine 30% armor reduction with increased AS for 3 seconds).
But I meant that stuff like Volibear with his perma AS bonus, or other bruisers of the sort have better dps than him. He's also not that good a duelist because his ult is pretty easy to avoid (can't kill a Kha'Zix without baiting his jump first, for example) at least partially, and once his steroids run out he doesn't have much in the way of damage (he's still beast at being a tanky mofo, albeit way better in the context of a teamfight/initiation because of his passive).

For this tournament, that can account for a chunk of the blue side wins, but you still have stats like OGN group stages having significant bias towards blue side.
I really think that blue and first pick should just be seperated. Higher seed (or winning coin flip) gets to choose EITHER picking order OR blue/purple side, the other team gets the remaining choice. (Discovered AHGL actually does exactly this, but needs to do it by doing picks in chat.)

Yeah, just seems too perfect. And like JBright said he deleted his post so that's quite suspect lol. Best to just let things play out and wait for the official announcement

You can't stack Flask and potions if that's what you were thinking of.

I'm aware. Thing is, Krep and Snoopeh have both posted in the thread. Neither are denying it.
