no idea really.

both teams can win. it could be a complete stomp or a long drawn out victory over 6 games.

Something I've noticed with casters at these LoL tournaments (and SC2 also) is that nobody ever makes any predictions. Everyone sounds like they're scared to take sides and say "yeah, this team is better and I think they're going to take it 2-0". Instead, everyone always says "I think that both teams are good (or players) and I think it can go either way. I'd like to see all five games in this best of five though." It just sounds like a way to keep everyone excited and a cop out from giving out an informed opinion.

I mean, it doesn't really matter, but I always thought that doing that kind of brought this professional vibe to the casters, kind of gave them this aura of authority because it allowed them to elaborate on the specific teams, give reasons why players are better, etc. etc. People who cast BW did this all the time, and the fans do this too.

It's a real pet peeve, and it probably doesn't really hold any relevance, but it's something I've noticed.


Joe and Deman make predictions all the time.

This is one of the reasons I love their casting

Shame Blasterion isn't into LoL. This could become a hilariously awkward fanfic.

Oh? I was under the impression of that LoL was very low on his list.

But then...

...IT MUST BE DONE.


Edit: I predict 2-1 CLG first series then 2-0 TSM.

To be fair though, the competition with some of these teams is very very close. Thing if, say, MKP and MVP played right now. Would you necessarily predict a 2:0? Most people would say 2:1. A lot of the commentators for LoL also subscribe to the school of thought that you're not allowed to say the game is over or say one team is straight up bad since they're Riot Employees.

Well, I don't know them, I guess, but I'm probably just watching all the wrong casters.

That's true, but I mean like....they do it in sports all the time. When Roger Federer and Nadal were neck to neck, commentators made predictions on Roger 3-1 or Nadal 3-2, etc. etc.

I think it might be a bit different, especially if you're a Riot employee, but I mean....if you're commentating a game and you keep saying "well they still have a chance".....I don't know. It never flies as a genuine comment anyway, so why say it?

I personally feel LoL has the potential to have many superstar casters, but they are all hindered with the lack of a replay system to practice.

This is why we are reliant on Joe/Deman/phreak/riv, because those 4 are the only ones who get regular practice casting.
It also means that when new casters try to come onto the scene (hat/redbaron/4CJ) they get ripped to shreds by the community.

I am so happy they do the win 2 best of threes instead of the best of three where one team has 1 game up in a best of three. I was very unhappy with the tournament last year that did that, DH I think?

OK at this point, League of Legends is one of the most (if not THE most) popular e-sports in the world. Why can Riot not spend a couple hundred dollars to hire reasonable commentators for these tournaments? It can't be THAT hard to find some random person that knows enough about League to not sound like an idiot commentating these games. Just go through the solo queue ladder and try people out or something ...

MKP would completely crush Mvp if they played right now, so that isn't a very good comparison.
