I don't KNOW there aren't aliens listening to my thoughts and using it to plot an invasion, that doesn't mean I'm gonna wear a tin foil hat. The way Dig played during the ARAM makes it obvious enough to ME that the money is getting split. So in my mind I KNOW they're splitting it. Obvious I don't have proof of it and don't care if other people believe otherwise. What a silly comparison. "I don't believe in conspiracy theories, so I believe in a conspiracy theory!"

What happened game 1 that everyone is talking about? Can someone give me a quick run down?
Also thanks for the other stream link works great. Rule 1 of this series: don't talk about game 1. Seriously though, it was funny how everybody loved the aram, including the viewers on the spot. Then they commented on how cool it was. Then they stopped talking about it in any specific terms. And finally they went all "that was not cool" in sort of emotionless voices. Jatt pretty clearly wanted no part of it while it was going on but didn't want to go all Joe Buck and bring down the energy of the stream.
Before i overcommit on "Jatt likes playing to the rules" statements: what has actually become of "Scumbag Jatt" and his Maphacks? Is he cleared?

I dunno about the money spit thing mostly because in the grand scheme of things, 1.6K is just not that much money.

Awesome play by West there. DUNKED.

O god this crumbz top.

He insisted on playing rumble for half the tournament, hitting probably 5% of his ults, lastgame singed he was just derping around zoning all the wrong people or teleporting in at 400hp (lololol), now this...

Do you really think progamers are wealthy and they can afford to throw money away? Most of them make a fairly meager living, I'm not sure what gave people the impressions that progamers are swimming in cash and just don't care about 1600 bucks.

Totally true but most people I know when they have the choice to get 1.6k or not get 1.6k would opt to take it, it is that little you'd rather have a little more fun for a couple league games than get 1.6k?

You should just go make a thread about conspiracy theories in professional LoL.

I mean most of these guys are not making 6 figures(except saint probably). But you would figure they should make >40000 right? I mean 1600 is not a trivial chunk of change but it's not like these guys "need" it to surive it or anything. If someone really needed that 1600 would they not have just go tryhard in the first place?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is match point right?

All I'm saying is, tryharding for a couple league games for 1600 dollars is not really hard work. It doesn't take "needing to survive" to push yourself to tryhard in a few games of LoL.

No, what you are saying is that two teams both decided to deliberately engage in an activity which MLG has shown they are willing to ban teams for and what some people would consider a form of matchfixing.

CLG.eu have said they've turned down a dozen of tournament invites that have had 5-10k prize money because it's just not worth it for them. They'd rather skip them and prep for bigger tournies even though they were fully able to play and crush for an easy 5k. If I followed the EU scene, I'd be able to name some for you. I guess you win.

I said I think they did, is this what people refer when they talk about fanboyism? Cause I thought people are allowed to say what they think happened.
Btw "All I'm saying" as in all I'm saying in regards to what's quoted, sorry I didn't clear it up, thought you can use common sense.
