This "serious" MLG commercial about competitive gaming is so ironic after this rofl.

I...I don't know what to make of this.
I guess part of the issue here is Riot's 'Circuit Points' model since neither team cares about the results of this particular tourney, but it really shows the immaturity of the LoL e-sports scene in general. Do any of the other major sports or e-sports get away with this type of thing, or hell, even attempt it?


Naniwa says hi.

How is this even remotely close to what Naniwa did,this is the finals?

In both situations someone really didnt want to play the game since it had no influence on outcomes of the respective tournaments and things beyond so they dont try. IMO what naniwa did was worse since he didnt even try to have fun with it while dig and crs are smiling and laughing about it.

Are you serious?Naniwa threw a game that should have never happened in the first place in GROUP play.
This is the finals for a decent sum of money.If you think this is even comparable to what naniwa did your pretty fucking dumb.
And Naniwas was worse because he didn't try to have fun,WHAT LOL.
I bet savior had fun throwing his games so his shit was less troublesome than this.

Naniwa wouldnt have gotten the hell he did if he had done ANYTHING....he coulda 6 pooled fuck he could have idk fucking microed his probes and it would have seemed atleast a little better. Dig and CRS clearly dont care who really wins its not going to make a difference for regionals so why not ARAM? Its different and not something you get to see from high level players all the time. Theyve had a long stressful weekend give them a break ffs let them play how they want to


I'm not personally offended by the situation, but the reasoning is obvious:

It means that this MLG finals is a joke. Neither team takes it seriously. The spectators paid expecting to see a good final and got an ARAM. People might've bought MLG gold expecting an actual game, to get this. It's basically like ordering a good steak from getting a restaurant and you're served a hamburger with A1 on it.


Not sure about that analogy. The crowd was entertained and compared to a normal game this one had 100x the action because thats what ARAM is and why it appeals to people. It is the equivalent of resting starters but instead of that your resting your strategies while adding a little Zaz into the action.


And the Hamburger might've been delicious, but you ordered a steak.


The crowd seemed to find that the Hamburger was what they wanted all along, they just didn't know the hamburger was a possibility.

This is the dumbest discussion I've seen in quite some time.
It's your boy Guzma!

Calm down. SC2 has done things like this as well. Naniwa lost his spot in GSL over this.


Yeah but that´s the thing, he lost his Code S spot. Will Dignitas or Curse be disqualified, ofcourse not, MLG is making money on this shit.

I wish MLG would give all the top 4 teams the prize money for the 4th place, since they dont seem to care about the final anyway.
This is a disgraceful, and would never happen (unpunished) in a real sport.

Whether or not you have an opinion on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Naniwa's probe rush isn't even close to being the same. It's just not even in the same league.

Probe rushing is 100% loss 100% of the time even if you micro your heart out against a pro player. Even against plat if they know to amove, you'll still lose. Naniwa just wanted something slightly more acceptable than gging and leaving immediately.

If he'd proxy gated or 4 gated or something, there wouldn't have been a problem.

Naniwa didn't try to win, and still wouldn't have been trying to win if he'd micro'd his probes.

These guys are trying to win under restrictions they placed upon themselves. An equivalent might be if Naniwa and Nestea had decided before the game to switch races and have nani play z and nestea play p edit: and they'd both played to the best of their abilities.


LOL you're kidding right, PLEASE PLEASE tell me or a little part of my faith in humanity just died. They did not try their best to win.

You're looking at it with a skewed view. Theyre playing some what seriously but with a different set of restrictions out side of the usual 6 bans and whatever the other team picked first. Its fun its different. I kinda blame MLG and Riot for scheduling two tourneys on consecutive weekends


They are clearly NOT playing serious. I don't understand how you are not seeing this. No they are not playing serious under ARAM rules, they're just trolling. Even 1200 elo players would know to take free nexus turrets and not dive under the turret and give free kills at level 3? I feel stupid just pointing these things out to you, they're that obvious.

Yeah this is really fun. People on this site don't like fun. Everything has to be super serious and professional. I blame Marcou for that stupid circuit point thing.


Isn't this really hypocritical of you to say this when you were getting "mad" (don't know how else to call it) when you were losing/gaining 4-5 elo in ranked because of huge gap duo queues? They were having fun too, no?

I was mad at the flawed system in place that allows for that to happen. I wasn't mad at Azingy for it. He's still on my flist and I just dodge if I see him with his irl friend again. Hell, I did the same thing with Yiruru once.

Dunno why you'd bring that up lol.

He never had the spot.

I've tuned into LoL on and off all week, it's interesting, I've been interested in playing it casually cause I can't play intensive games anymore, but the only issue here is that they're splitting the money. Don't split the money, just play without revealing your strats, ARAM or not. Splitting money is just so disgraceful and has gotten people kicked and permanently banned from tournaments.

I have no problem with ARAM. The teams are in a situation in which they have to hold back strats. Understandable, but splitting prize money is a big no.

ok good Back to real lol. People are going to be talking about this mlg for a long long time.

why are people saying that their splitting the money. Thats a pretty heavy accusation and there is no evidence at all about it. Everyone was entertained well and thats whats going to keep mlg and riot happy.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

Sorry but the amount of butt hurt people over 2 teams letting off some steam after 2 hard series is just funny.

remember this is FINALS not some fucking exhibition match.
disgrace imo.
You give your all in a finals no matter what game it is.

Ever see a proffesional sport do this in a finals?
no
because theyre fucking proffesionals


because this has never happened in an olympics. or in futbol pool play. or in chess.
