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. | ||

Funny thing is nobody probably would have noticed probably if they didnt ARAM g1. I'm sure people would've assumed the discussion done in public was just simply in a joking manner then. I sorta feel like people knew and assumed they were kidding until the ARAM came out of nowhere G1. | ||

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. | ||

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. i'm going to have to agree. As much as i'd like to see the results stand (as the matches afterwards were quite good to watch), I don't think it's going to be good for anyone to have a precedent like this going unpunished. As much fun as I had watching the aram and the matches afterward, you also have to respect the authority's decision to punish any under-the-table planning of tournament games by the players, regardless of how benign, as it's really not their place to do so. I really do hope that dig/crs don't get punished any further than this though. If I was in charge, I'd probably just give them a warning and make an official statement saying it isn't condoned or w/e and to expect more severe punishment in any future cases, and not go as far as to dq them, but I suppose I'm not in charge am I  nvm, ignore edit | ||

Well sad. Who actually won in the end, I went to bed when curse took game 3 I dunno if we were watching the same stream but the viewers went up during the ARAM. The live crowd was really excited by it. Deman was excited by. Rioters tweeted about it. Most of the people on reddit were fine with it (as in, posts about it being cool or fun to see were largely upvoted while posts about it being unprofessional were largely downvoted). I think the majority of the LoL community was okay with them playing an ARAM. edit: + Show Spoiler + Also Curse ended up winning after taking three games in a row. They played really well and while I can't say anything about prize splitting it did not look like match fixing at all to me. | ||

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. How do you figure that? If they won the match they would have ended up 2nd seed and had a first round match vs LgN, if they lost they would have a first round matchup at regionals vs TD (a much more consistant top 5 placing team than LgN). Scarra has said in interviews before that TD's playstyle is hard for them to handle; If the match was actually fixed (which i doubt), it wouldn't make sense for dignitas to take a loss like they did. | ||

By losing they end up facing TD, and by winning they would end up facing LgN I believe (anyone can confirm if i'm correct?), so your whole point is based on the fact that TD is easier to beat than LgN? Did you even watch the tourny? Or the Dig vs TD games? EDIT: wow sniped hard by Mr. ChaosShadow! | ||
