Personally I prefer option C of scrapping these animal BYEs. These post-S2 IEMs have the literal worst format of any esport tournament I've ever seen. | ||

I'm pretty sure Riot enforces the format... :\ Jin Air getting the seed is fair though based on Worlds performance, you have choice between #4 team in Korea when Korea goes almost undefeated or teams that go 1-5, 2-4 in groups. | ||

They signed a deal with Riot to make the events and in that deal it specified the format they had to follow. Kind of feels like Riot is purposely setting IEM up to fail then but I doubt it's that malicious. Riot are just super bad at making good tournament formats. It would be nice to have better tournaments. Hopefully someone will sue for broadcasting rights at some point, I'm sure nothing could go wrong. | ||

It's going to be very interesting when the traditional cable TV broadcasting deals implode on themselves. Granted, the TV deal apocalypse is at least a few years away, probably a decade or two, depending on the rate of cord cutting. | ||

Makes sense why this isn't on 5.22 then, Riot doesn't want people to see how fiesta this animal patch is 4.20 Weedwick never forget | ||

As the url says, Mark Cuban will be playing in the show match. Please, Mark, please run your mouth as much as your very heart and soul wants. The NBA league office can't fine you here! (I think) Edit: As unlikely as it is, I actually kind of dream of Mark Cuban buying an LCS team just to see him rack up the fines from Riot. Slaps on the wrist won't stop him. (If you're unaware of his history in the NBA, here is a partial list) | ||

LGD's only advantage is that everyone is already in pre-season mode while they still have the same roster, maybe they can use this to pull out a good result but I don't expect anything huge from them.

China may not be the second coming of Jesus but they are still a competitive region. LGD at worlds even had a decent showing in 2nd week after they fixed up some stuff. If you want to say anything about regions post worlds then it should be how terrible NA is if anything. Still I think talking about regions is silly. Good teams are good, bad teams are bad. | ||
