At the same time they want runes to be more about playstyle and want to change the focus of red/yellow/blue along the lines of blue is utility, yellow is defense, and red is offense. That's quite different from simply smashing runes with buff and nerf sticks. How they're going to do this with minimal disruption (as they say) IDK. My whole issue was just that if it's a massive rune overhaul and some old runes will be useless and new runes will be good, I wanted to be able to have the IP to buy them and now I don't 'cause I'm impatient  | ||

Thanks for the info, and my mistake on not understanding your post properly. I know they promise minimal disruption, but that has to be a lie. It doesn't seem possible for what they are planning(especially if they add in something like hybrid resistance runes). Again, thank you for expanding on the post from OT! I'll have to start trying to play more. This rune changes stuff will be pretty major, and there's no way current rune pages survive. Most likely, they'll be decent, but less than satisfactory. I miss my dodge runes every game I play. | ||

unless of course delusional enough to believe that western teams are actually good enough to be competitive if teams are chosen purely based on strength. | ||

I'm pretty sure these were posted before C9 even played (like when Group A was playing). Where is this negative response you're talking about? People seemed pretty hyped for KT B vs Gambit even after C9 lost... Edit: Oh wait, I think you mean NA/EU. I mean I guess SKT T1 would probably still steamroll the competition but the IEM has still been really fun to watch. I don't understand how that's a bad thing. Sure if SKT T1 K was there they would have wrecked everyone else. But hey, they weren't and we got a fun tournament. I'm not gonna just accept the lack of international tournaments just because other fans don't want to accept their region doesn't have the best team... | ||

if fnatic gets 3-0 completely crushed you'll see the "this tourney sucks" type of posts again. | ||

Or S3 WC actually did kind of suck because the format was trash. There was also a much larger skill disparity between teams than there was at IEM so we got more stomps. | ||

I guess the big take away from this is that tournaments are always going to be more exciting when you have a horse in the race. I still like international tournaments though :p | ||

I got into a discussion with a guy on reddit, silly me, where he insisted that pool play instead of double elimination for groups with multiple streams would have been better. | ||
