Pretty sure that's correct. Then I believe the same thing happens for NA the week afterwards.

So much whining over players wanting to make money on advertising. Get over it.

It happens in all sports, but it's generally more subtle than that. Like basketball pros making sure to drink their gatorade with the label visible.

You can click it in the sidebar!
And btw I don't mind TSM making money off their advertising, more power to them ^^. Just think it's pretty lols how incredibly obvious they've made it.

It's a pretty effective strategy since it makes it memorable + gets people talking about it. Plus they already know they can't act, so makes more sense to play to what you can do.

^That's true I guess.
Much whining lately about 1v2 lanes being boring to watch btw, what does TL think? I think it's fine as is but lots of people want Riot to change something about it but nobody seems to have a clue what exactly.

Yeah there is absolutely nothing wrong with them whoring themselves to advertisers. People are forgetting that being a pro gamer is a short term career for most people and it has pretty shitty job security. Might as well make as much money as possible. If the advertising bothers you so much why are you even watching a show that pretty much only exists to advertise.

1v2 is kinda boring but holy shit the last thing we need is riot restricting the meta more than the players themselves already do.

i don't see how 2v2 is any more exciting. in general, laning phase is boring to watch until there's a gank.

Random thought:
With the release of Blizz Dota, do we think/has anyone heard anything about other franchises branching out into the moba space?
Asking because I was playing league late last night, and I had a dream about a Super Smash Brothers moba and, needless to say, it was pretty sick. Pokemon could also make an AMAZING moba and is already kind of balanced around everyone having 4 skills. I know that pretty much every member of this forum would totes buy a pokemon moba. Alakazam Mid. Scyther Jungle. Dragonite Top. Blastoise / Jigglypuff bot. Bam.

Blastoise is definitely a bruiser, stick to the meta bro.

I don't remember which company did it but a Lord of the Rings moba came out recently (or is coming out). It looked pretty terrible though.
Honestly with the success of League I'm pretty scared that MOBA is going to become the next "Modern Day Shooter" game where like five of them come out each year and they're all terrible. As much as I like Pokemon I'm pretty convinced a Pokemon moba would suck.
Thinking back didn't like four mobas come out last year? Between Smite, LOTR moba, and Realm of Titans? Plus one other one came out too I think...but I can't remember the name. Also Bloodline Champions came out in 2011 and it's basically a moba as well.

I agree it is boring to watch. The reason is, because of no fog of war for spectators, you almost 100% know whether the dive will succeed. Also, because of fog of war, it is kinda a coinflip for teams as to whether you are gonna get the 2v1 or 1v1.
Also it is boring because the threat of 2v1 reduces the champion pool. You need to pick a champ that not only has few counters in lane 1v1, but also wont get slaughtered with or without a dive. Not to mention fits your comp.

If there was a Pokemon MOBA this entire forum would convert, even if it sucked.
