Well the other 4 people will get experience right? Who are they subbing?
I feel bischu has a good chance, being part of c9 already.
Assuming, of course, c9t does not disband.
Not 100% sure if they want burgerking.

C9 bjergsen for all stars? Or c9 shiphtur? Amirite?

Not sure if Riot would be all that pleased having Bjergsen sub when he's already locked in for the all stars team.

Shiphtur so he can get stomped by Faker-senpai.

He can shit on xpeke while C9 loses to Fnatic cause that's what C9 does. Shiphtur can struggle 1v5 on c9 as well as on Coast. #allstarselohell

Oh yeah you are right.
Anyway, my gut feeling is that they won't sub in Link because to have an lcs player from another team (and from clg no less) exposes c9's playstyle too much. And burgerking is gone too.
I think the best candidate in term of talent is shiphtur. But I still think bischu is more likely.

Subbing in a player from another team is probably the most realistic now than any other time because there's quite a bit of time to go before the next split, so I don't think there will be a huge concern of "exposing strategies."

Riot changing Bjergsen to the next highest vote seems far more likely to me than sending their region's team with an unoptimal substitute. NA faker vs KR faker pls

Sir didn't you watch the interview? The Young Pobelter is the next Faker. In fact he'll be better than Faker.

Oh no.  Poor Hai. Q_Q Sigh, I was so hyped for C9 going to All Stars and really getting the experience as a team and improving from it. Now with Hai like this, . Get better soon Hai.

Inb4 faker slumps and plays worse than scarra.

Collapsed lungs suck but apparently they're not as serous as it sounds and are actually "common." One of my friends had it, and we all freaked out and he basically said it's common for young men who are tall because their lungs are often stretched too much when they're growing and eventually one pops or something. It sounds scary but he said he just couldn't take a plane for a year or so and was otherwise fine? o.o? So hopefully he'll be fine.
Sucks that C9 won't be able to get stomped at All-Star's with their full roster and people will just use this as an excuse for why NA blows huehuehue.

The expected outcome of playing to win is determined on how good the player is in regards to his opponent I would assume. So yea, playing not to lose might be best if you are mediocre, and are fine with getting the best out of being mediocre. But you are not able to have a huge impact on the game. I do not think that is a mindset professional players should have, especially not those that strive to be the best (in their region). edit: But it probably all comes down to the definiton of "playing not to lose" and "playing to win" anyway.
If all you guys have against the argument are strawmen you shouldn't have bothered to respond at all.

I believe. Pobelter will be next faker. Once he's freed from the confines of high school. Nothing will stop him!

Minimizing variance through tons of "safe" and "consistent" play isn't the same thing as maximizing expected value.
Which still doesn't change the fact that expected value is a terrible way to think about this game, as if you wanted to model this, you'd have perturbations everywhere, in both the distribution and the value function, effectively meaning that the determination of "expected value" matters less with the decision you make and more with the parameters estimated.

I never said that by playing safe and consistent you were trying to maximise EV. In fact, remove the mention of EV from my argument and what I wanted to discuss is still there.
-Does giving away gold/kills/whatever negatively impact the game more than getting gold/kills/whatever (it feels like this from anecdotal evidence and I personally think the anti-snowballing mechanics make it true), and if so:
-Does playing safe (or 'not to lose lane') or in other words go for low risk/low reward plays over high risk/high reward plays then become the 'best' way to play the game (yes I see how that can be misconstrued as maximizing EV).
I'm not claiming it does, I was merely trying to throw it out there for discussion.

But the problem is that if you go by this logic, the proper play in every single lane would be to sit there and do nothing.
In LCS that works because your opponents will inevitably do something stupid and suicide, but for a team that's looking to be a world contender and playing against OGN/LPL teams, that's an easy way to be down 10k after 20 minutes without losing a single kill.
