EPT[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 37
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected") At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 20.1.2012 | ||

And at the end of the day, the true money is marketing your players, not from tournament winnings. Marketability is also why some players have more stream viewers and ad revenue. CLG could never win a tournament again, but if they keep hitting those nuts 10k+ views on Jiji, HSGG and Saint, they would never need to. TBH I know my like for EG is in part due to the marketing. But I don't care. I bought a steelseries 6Gv2. Realised that because I type a lot for school its a pain in the ass to write my thesis and other school work on thanks to the black keys. Went out to buy a Razer BW for the blue keys but I still have my 6G. Everytime I watch an EG related thing it always makes me think about pulling out my 6G then the hand cramps and pain i felt all the time after schoolwork reminds me why I don't lol. | ||

Hm. I thought about this before for LoL threads like I did in SC2 threads. But it gets really messy because after 10 embedded quotes you actually lose some of your post... Hm. I'll see. | ||

What are you talking about? SC2 patches come once every couple of months. Last LoL Patch came out yesterday? You think it'd be fair to have Kiev on a patch released 24 hours ago? | ||

So it would be even more unfair to always play on the newest patch. | ||

Curse Bans: CassiOPeia, Morgana, Irelia SK Picks: Vayne, Kassadin, Rammus, Soraka, Riven Curse Picks: Sona, Graves, Galio, Lee Sin, Gangplank Deman: Lee Sin pick from Jaximus. He's done alright on Lee Sin so far. Wonder how this will turn out. What comes from SK...? Ahhh, Soraka it seems! And then Riven.. no a Renekton? But Riven again. It could be the bruisers mid lane. It's something the EUs sometimes do. Lets Kassadin farm up top. | ||

NA patches a day early. Party because of time difference, partly because more resources in NA in-case there's a critical error in the patch so it gets fixed before it deploys on EU. | ||
