I know I can't stream or play, but I'd be willing to set up the bracket, rules, maybe find some prize money laying around, and create a thread. Anyone interested in streaming/casting it? Great opportunity to get your voice out there! I'll defo play if it's on EUW. Edit: I assume it would be NA though 
Apart from finding enough people, we'd also need someone to organize it for EU. I'd be in, but I doubt it's going to happen

They need to make an RPG (not mmo) maybe like diablo, where there is coop at least...

so guys, make your predictions here:
How long till the League of Legends MMO?
winner gets 100 ESPORTS dollars
also you can guess how much money it will make. I'll predict 450 gazillion dollars.

yeah right, Riot, the kings of massively multiplayer F2P money extraction (with huge asian audience), are gonna make a single player RPG? Not likely.

Can anyone recommend which game (1-5) of the EU LCS Finals between Fnatic and Gambit that I should watch? The recommended polls aren't in the OP. I can probably only watch one.

Use W to refresh your orb that it about to die so you can get more balls on the field at once for an awesome ult. W somewhere, grab it, then Q+W->E with the Q and W right next to them for a much larger AoE stun that's also really fast.
While controlling an object like the baron or a dragon or defending your turret and enemies are arriving, make a nice Q clump on the ground W-ing the first Q after casting the first 2 Qs and perhaps placing it in between the Qs. This way you get a really good AoE scatter stun and have a 7 orb ult ready to 1shot anyone when they arrive at the area.
Off a max range QE stun you can W the orb throwing it at them, Q them, Q again if in no rush and ult. Needs no CDR, 6 orb ult.

I should really work on my supports. My Leona is fine but I'm pretty useless as Thresh if I can't auto-harass a bunch, and I have a lot of trouble playing against Leona and Tresh (basically aggro supports against whom I can't pick Leona). My Lulu still gets caught a bunch (against a Graves + melee support lane I'd prob be useless because they'd be too tanky for my harass), as does my Zyra (I prob play her wrong, even with a E -> Q+WW I don't do much damage), Taric is weaker now and I'm not confident at all playing Janna/Alistar against Leo. Grmbl.
(Also purple side sucks, we had Vayne so since they did the golems I couldn't let her alone to ward in case they rushed the bushes/a level 2 all-in, and then their Nasus jungle came for a double-kill x_x. Felt a bit powerless 'cause I'd rely on the opponents not knowing how to abuse it, and that game clearly demonstrated that I suck at playing from behind as support.)

Why the hell is Lissandra still 7800?

Workshop that Janna hard man. She's my favorite for keeping aggression to a minimum, though admittedly Alistar is probably easier in that regard (particularly if you get you EQ combo down pat)
You could also go the opposite direction and learn the Blitz to out-aggressive EVERYONE.

Is Leona popular on EU or at your elo or something? I still default to Sona or Lulu as support. Taric and Janna also work. Not a Thresh fan and my Zyra is abysmal. Blitz is very fun but fk that mana nerf.

The fiercest Blitz can't be as manmode as my Leona, bathed by the sunlight as she flies toward the enemy tower.
I've become trash at Alistar since some nerfs that happened while I wasn't playing him, and now I feel like I don't do enough damage with him (while dropping oom super fast if maxing E, so I'm bad at playing him from behind too). It's not that I can't hit EQ (I'm pretty reliable at it), it's that when I engage I feel like I eat a bunch of damage without doing as much in return (can be a matter of AD not following, too, but I'm not experienced enough anymore with him to tell.) I guess part of it could be attributed to the armour/gp5/MR/gp5 runepage I'm running on every support. I could/should probably use my AD/armour/MR/MS for stuff like Taric/Alistar, to get in range more easily and have that damage that I feel I lack.
Edit: Blitz is still banned too often to make the effort of relearning him after the nerfs (he was still tanky when I played him, and when I see how I fed learning Lulu after weeks of Leona I'm not sure if it's a good idea ). I'd say at my Elo (Silver I) Thresh is banned less than Blitz, and picked fairly often. Sona, Leona and Lulu are probably the most popular supports (not in that order, and Thresh would overthrow Lulu if he wasn't banned so much), there's significantly less Taric since the nerfs, and surprisingly little Zyra. I tried to come back to Sona for when sustain is needed, but the nerfs left her so squishy it'd take me awhile to un-learn how aggro I used to be with her (same as Lulu, gets me killed too easily). Taric drops oom so easily in fights now that he doesn't have his passive. :<

All of my melee supports use Ar/Ar/MR/Gp5 and pretty much all the ranged ones (except Thresh) use MPen/Ar/Mp5/Gp5. Less damage on the face-punching ones, more pain on the laser-throwing ones.

just pick sona into everything (except maybe blitz because he's gay as fuck). most <gold leonas are complete trashcans and you should just harass them into oblivion

I cannot recall when Lissandra exactly was released(Wasn't during the patch right?) but it should be soon that her price is reduced...
Someone please suggest me a champion that can do its job even at 2 FPS. Really annoyed at playing some AP caster and always just suiciding in teamfights because whenever either team has like, Jarvan or Vayne or something and they pop their ult BAM FPS goes from 30 to 2. That's some OP 10 second CC if you ask me.
