Since W is capped at 300 damage vs. monsters, level 1-2 W is better vs. Dragon.anyway - max E is probably the "ideal" thing to level for early dragons.

I'm considering going since there's basically a considerably smaller chance I can go next year seeing how it'll be in Korea.

This this this, I like the TI3 layout much better as far as going in person(lots of games, etc), but the Worlds layout will give good storylines, etc, as well as being as great watch from home.
My friends are talking about going, and I just don't think I want to miss a week of school for it

It doesn't hurt that baseball games tend to be dirt cheap compared to a football game or an esports event.

Going to a baseball game is much less about the game itself and more about just enjoying the time there. Football and Basketball require too much attention in person (even when they break every 30 seconds). Going to Sox games is one of the few activities I will willingly subject myself to the outside world for.

I kind of want to go to Worlds just to have the experience.
But I'm not gonna do it by myself. I'm relatively sure I can go, I'll do it if we get a group together, but if it's not a big TL thing it'd be more fun for me to watch it at home. Either way.

Kidding right? I mean, unless you are in highschool and parents wont let you go. Missing a week of University (or Law school) is totally inconsequential.

TI3 + Show Spoiler +It's funny how Alliance, aka ex-CLG used split push/backdoor strategy to win the deciding game against Navi and awarded 1.4m for it.

TI3, amazingly run. S3 Worlds, going to be amazingly run. Man, I wish SC2 had something even close to how good these events were/promise to be.

Very, Very well run tournament by Valve - certainly they have set the bar for RIOT (again)

Not really, that's 2 misses from each class basically. Also since I'm not in the classes yet, no way of knowing if thats midterm week or something.

September~October is easily midterm season for a lot of schools and missing class during that time can really do a number on your grades.

Not sure how strict my classes are going to be this year, some are harsher with attendance than others. Plus I have my job down here in addition to class which I hadn't even factored in.

taking a whole week off may be too much. I'm going to look at taking Friday off, and trying to go either 9/20-21 or 9/27-28. It'll be really cool if we can get a TL group together. I wonder if eliminated teams are going to stick around the whole time until grand finals; Worlds spans across 4 friggin weeks.

If you have a job of consequence, I concur with your choice. I am just saying, I have a Law Degree and A Biomedical Engineering Degree, and no week of class (sans exams) has ever been really that useful. I mean, my roommate missed like 2 weeks because of appendicitis Soph year, and it meant nothing. Heck, if the ABA didn't have attendance requirements, no 3rd year Law Student would go to class at all.
Edit.
I was always too poor to do fun things in college. If you have a chance, do it.

idk engineering would be really rough to miss a week on. ~20 hours of lectures and about that much in lab/tutorial time depending on the week.
Maybe if you were like a business or english major or something, but on the heavier courseload majors, missing a week condemns you to oblivion for a couple more while you desperately try to catch up, and try to schedule in times to make up labs and such.

If I missed a week of school, I might as well just withdraw and then move to Africa to escape my parents. It would be like AFKing for 10 minutes during a game of LoL when the teams are more or less evenly matched.
I'm a Bio/Business major, and yes Business is kind of a joke, but you still have to go through the motions because of stupid participation, daily quiz grades, etc. In theory I could just self study Human Phys and I basically already know Physics, but playing catch up would really suck. Then there's research and extra curriculars.
