Some of the teams higher up barely have any time to rest at all. I think it was Scarra on BTR that brought up an idea of letting the lower bracket teams or maybe even the challenger teams go to events like IEM or this. That way the higher rated teams won't be as swamped plus lower ranked teams get exposure to competition they would never face otherwise. | ||

Not just one or two rarely playing subs per team, get a sub for each player and let that player have some time off during the split. | ||

It'd be nice, but there isn't money for it with relegation in existence, let alone actual talent.. | ||

A team consists of 5 players, any changes to that make things pretty random. You never know how much which configuration was practiced by which team. | ||

Don't know why they just can't do a normal weekend tournament we've had in gaming for the last 20 years. Hell if that's too tight they can just do a 4 day one instead. | ||

Idk, it's pretty funny seeing Riot force this kind of tournament on teams Not a big fan of single round robins, we uh, kinda saw that this tournament, WE had an OK week 1, and superb week 2. At the very least we finally get to see some more international teams, especially deeper team variety. Now we get to see how LPL 2-4 stack up against LCK 2-4, same with NA vs EU. Battle of the Atlantic. I had completely forgotten that tournament until you reminded me, was not very interesting since there were no playoffs. Also, Lemondogs :/ | ||

bo7 (or 5? if too many games) -everyone plays at least N/3 games (so at least 2 for bo7) -next team to play must be locked in by end of previous game -if it reaches final game you get to pick your 'ace' to play a third time -a team may not have 2 games more played than another at any time (to avoid situations where a team plays twice and another didnt play while series ends) kind of like proleague back in the day for bw but with teams as players. would create interesting matchups and fun collaboration within teams of each regions. and ace match would be hype edit: the cons would be - harder to schedule since amount of games has variance - not as much specific team preparation since they dont know their actual opponents for sure which I would counter with -riot deals with this anyways during LCS and other tournaments -quality of games isn't going to be super clean anyways. no prize pool (i believe) and no other incentive besides pride. also some teams will have fallen off a bit/will have new members | ||

[–]liquid112 GM of Team Liquid [score hidden] 11 minutes ago I know that folks might be thinking what the !@#, headed straight for relegation's - same shit, how the heck do you come to that decision. Put simply, Cain is a major factor. My personal involvement this split is another. The meta isn't cc-bot ADC's and assassin only junglers. And lastly and most importantly, we believe in Goldenglue. We invested in him and believe we will see better results in comparison to last split. Time will tell if we prove folks wrong and ourselves right or not. Appreciate the support from our fans who will be rooting for us to succeed. TL is the new underdog. lol teamliquid | ||

was actually the roster i bet my friend on they're just going to tank a bit more through the power of friendship until piglet is considered a resident im a big piglet fan and i make that no secret, but even if this roster works short term (works as in make playoffs, nothing more) they're going to have to cut players again. cain does seem like a good coach and I know for sure the team won't be as garbage as it was last year especially with a better meta, but seems like steve fell for the sunk cost fallacy with piglet. piglet can be worth on a team but this roster i don't think is one where he is worth the only way this can work (actual playoff contender) is if goldenglue massive improves to something like a top 3-4 mid in NA which I don't see happening at all whatsoever. and this is also assuming piglet will be a top 3-4 adc as well. i hope they prove me wrong though. edit: and saint still listed there as strategic coach? wut | ||
