Laughing my fucking ass right now haha, went to sleep yesterday exactly thinking: " Hmm if they agree to split the prizemoney maybe they agreed who'd win for seedings as well."

Normally there's no post discussion in LoL-Event Threads but this unloaded 20pages of new e-drama discussion yay ^^

Let's just wait for further statements from Dig's, Riot's and MLG's side.

Funny thing is nobody probably would have noticed probably if they didnt ARAM g1.

I doubt more relevant information will be revealed. All parties involved will want to bury this as fast as possible. As long as Riot doesn't push for a ban, curse and dig won't challenge this imho. This looks to me like a warning shot from MLG/Riot. To make sure that the teams know that everything that can be interpreted as match fixing will be punished.
They might be a bit overzealous here, but in the end none of us know what MLG/Riot saw/heard at the event. I'm sure though that they didn't make this step lightly as they have nothing to really gain from this.

If they were trying to fix matches or split money or anything, why would they play an ARAM? They would obviously try to make everything look as normal as possible.

First game was aram , watching that made me very sad. eSports is sposed to grow, im not sure on the exact amount but they lost about half their viewers on the main stream during that game. Well sad.

Who actually won in the end, I went to bed when curse took game 3

Think it was the blue stream? When i logged on during pregame there were more viewers. Could have been me looking at the wrong thing tho, i dont like own3d streams usually.

An important point to take note of for those saying that splitting the prize pool isn't a big deal: without any money on the line Dignitas would have an incentive to lose, since this would give them a more favourable matchup in the next tournament due to how the circuit points turn out. Thus an agreement to split the money would be virtually the same as matchfixing anyway (they might still give their best out of pride but it is certainly unlikely). It would be less problematic, (though still very wrong in my opinion), if both teams had the same level of incentive to win in the final with a split pool.
