This is the generous part of me though that wants to think that Riot is doing all they can to not have this happen as it obviously makes them look bad. What I don't understand is, why can't they just run the game without using observer mode? Why not just have the 6th guy stand in the fountain and then just watch one team's perspective? It wouldn't be perfect but it'd be better than nothing. | ||

Did no one say, "If the observer client messes up in China, what are we going to do?" If they didn't have a backup plan, then they should be ashamed for trying to put on IEM China without one. | ||

No more excuses for Riot. Yes, they're understaffed. Yes, they have shitty code due to the nature of their start. Yes, they made an amazing and free game. But if they want to make LoL a real esports, this shit cannot happen. Every single big tournament some stupid shit that should never ever happen happens. Whether it's d/c or complete server meltdown this is just ridiculous now. First MLG now IEM. I love LoL and I want it to be an eSports of epic proportions but this is just fucking retarded. They should've at least learned by now to dedicate a team of engineers to keep shit running for tournaments or they should just not fucking do live tournaments at all. | ||
