Yup that tweet is gone...shit is going to hit the fan soon


Anyone who thought that MLG as an organization was OK with that has zero business understanding. That tweet was made by some guy assigned to promote MLG LoL via twitter. That wasn't effing sundance or something.

Well then it is the job of the MLG admins to ensure that the correct game version is played. They should just stopped this nonsense and tolded the teams to play a proper game.


Which they did for the rest of the Bo5. Do you think it would be good PR to cut the game in the middle? Why do you think the tweet was deleted. They wan't to pretend that never happened.

Maybe they just don't want to seem like an organization that supports this kind of thing. We'll have to wait until some post game statement from MLG, if there is one.


The fact that the whole situation remotely requires an official statement just shows it was a bad idea in the first place.

That'd kind of just make martyrs out of the players, you don't turn on the "no fun" dial too hard if the crowd is enjoying it.

Then let them play their aram and say that it will not be count. Then start the game with even scores.


You just don't get it, do you. They can't just undermine their own rules in the middle of the tournament, they makes them look incredibly incompetent.

If you think he does not get it then explain it to him. Don't deliver such vague stupid insults as that while also not backing up what you have said.

More than likely. There is a video tour of it on youtube for you to see. It's pretty massive.

Check out how they can't even say "ARAM" live anymore. Quote "I'm not even sure what I can say about it... it was a Dignitas win.."

Also, how hard they keep trying to demonstrate that who wins these games matters to the teams so much.
I hope Plexa's sig is right.

Riot does not. But after this, it would be a surprise if an official statement doesn't come.
I get some of you think it was all for fun and laughs at last ARAM. But it makes professionalism and the competitive spirit of what Riot is trying to accomplish, into a farce.

Regardless of who wins, Curse.na is still 4th Seed for the Regionals and Dignitas/CLG simply swap seeds but stay on the opposite side of the bracket to TSM/Curse. So it doesn't matter that much, except whether Dignitas wants to face TD first round.
It's like, "Is the Federation's Mobile Suit some kind of monster?"

I'd estimate that yes, it is. Curse isn't primarily an esports organization though, they have other revenues that they can rent enormous houses with.

Judge for yourself though, if you want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2NqWZibUac
Have a nice day.

Apparently support Fiddle works? I haven't personally seen a VoD of it being successful yet. :O



Elementz isn't exactly a top tier support player imo :p If you can find the legendary M5 shen game (can't remember who they played against), there's a substitute, XL Winner, who played fiddlesticks support not dying in the 76 min game.

I don't let my 9 year old win at checkers, a foot race, or 1 on 1 basketball. I hate losing. So should everyone. #toocompetitive

I wonder what Adam is subtly hinting at.

On another note, Orb tied the series up 1-1 with TD.
Take anything I say with a grain of salt.....I suck at this game. Also, Go Blue!

Ok, what ever official punishment these team receive, tim not going to support them anymore. I won't watch their streams i wont buy their stuff, and I won't support anything else they do in lol, such as watching tournaments sponsored by their teams. There is a difference between having fun while playing, or hiding strats, and screwing around in the finals of a major tournament. If they don't want to show new strats, run old stuff. This is not cool, and if they split the money i hope they get banned from mlg and riot pro circuit, because this is not cool in the least.

Hahaha if thats his idea of a clever remark i feel sorry for him.

Then again this is MLG im talking about.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Wow he doesn't let his 9 year old win at checkers. That's kind of fucked up.

serious: entertainment wise, this ARAM is great. Competitive wise, seems like this is going to get discussed going forward.


Riot discussing it?

Didn't they sort of do that though? They hid their strats while having fun... just in a bit of an extreme way.
