Interesting start to game 3, Vayne is soloing against Singed and soraka karthus is bottom for EG.
Why? Why Riot?
Edit:Early first blood goes to Reginald's Brand killing Salce's Swain in the top lane. Yes, Singed and Vayne are solo mids.
This might be the only time in my life I regret not living in North Carolina.

Yeah they totally should have just got a camera behind a player and let us watch first person. Would be better than nothing.

TSM Leads 13-10 22 mins in and begins to force a baron fight. Lee sin dies..Dyrus Karthus gets 3 kills and a baron for EG.
Bot lane Karthus OP, new meta.

Probably already answered but how did they choose seeding for this? Like, how is CLG 4th seed for example? Or is the seeding for this event completely arbitrary?

It's probably arbitrary. The only effect I can see is the choice of first pick/ban.

edit:Huge team fight concludes in Vayne killing brand, then dying to his passive for a double Ace. Both teams lose all members.

I think this is pretty funny. It seems like the game is somewhat even, but EG might have a slight lead since they got baron and pushed for a bit.

Roku is just making stuff up now. No way this game is actually happening.

"Over the last several hours, the League of Legends competition has experienced several delays due to game crashes caused by a recent patch to the spectator client preventing us from delivering a stream. In order to prevent the tournament from falling behind and to ensure the best competitive experience for our players, we have made the decision to discontinue our League of Legends stream this weekend."

Sucks. Hopefully after this and IEM Riot dedicates a bit more time to releasing a stable spectator mode. It's got to be embarrassing for them to have this happen at the first MLG event and MLG certainly can't be happy with their brand new game opening like this.

I understand it's hard to code in new stuff for an existing game and that Riot is definitely working on spectator mode but I have to say that after this event I feel they should be working full gear on getting a spectator mode for everyone and making sure that it's stable. Competitive LoL is really starting to pick up and it's a shame that it's having all of these technical problems.

It's ok, they'll probably release replays after the event.
