If they are willing to do it for one tournament, why won't they do it for bigger tournaments? With millions and millions of dollars on the line in season 2 and 3....I am very very skeptical about the "integrity" of future LoL matches. First, it has absolutely nothing to do with LoL. Teams, and people in general for every game, just need to realize that pot splitting (worse games as a result) is detrimental to their scene as a whole and the tournament they've entered. Now, numerous splits happen at tournaments all around the country for various games and competitions. It's expected, really. The difference being that those are usually small events where spectators are there for free and also usually made up of competitors themselves after they've been eliminated. People go to those to compete themselves and have a good time. In larger events that are broadcast to people who've paid money and those in person, then you're robbing the spectators and damaging the event's image. But like I stated right off of the bat, this is not a LoL thing, but a competitive gaming thing in general. | ||

The 3rd and 4th Place teams will receive the prize money and Circuit Points they have earned, and all other results stand. No 1st or 2nd Place will be awarded for this event. http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/an-important-message-regarding-mlg-summer-championship-league-of-legends/ If oRb gets 2nd place circuit points mMe shouldn't be going to regionals and oRb might even become the 7th seed? | ||

It's a casual game that isn't even taken seriously by it's competitor at top level. Dota 2 would be a much better replacement then this casual crap. also Totalbiscuit @Totalbiscuit I wouldn't miss LoL if they got rid of it from MLG though, DOTA2 is clearly the better competitive title even if LoL is more fun casually User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Have you ever heard of pride? If you give me the choice between being first or second I'm going to say I want to be 1st every time regardless if I dont make any more money. This happens all the time in competitive magic and no one cares. It was a close as hell Bo5 that was really close and entertaining... I was entertained, what difference does it make if team X gets paid more than team Y or if they both split the money? All prize spliting does is ensure more people can make a stable living off of doing what they love. How is that a bad thing? | ||

Is anyone stupid enough to leave hundreds of thousands on a verbal agreement? Also I'm pretty sure usually at least on of the teams is convinced that they are better than the other. | ||

Are you dead serious? You really think a team that is willing to split the prize money is going to give a shit about the games they are playing? They already know they are getting their payday, so why even bother? It is dishonest, goes against the spirit of competition and shows that they are willing to game the system to get more money, rather than compete for it. | ||

saying 'they didnt want to show their strats for next week' is insane. they could have just played standard champ comps and gone at it. they didnt have to make a mockery of the event like they did. curse and dig are my 2 favorite teams and its really quite disappointing they thought this was a good idea. | ||

You don't get to decide what is crap or not crap for the entire market of consumers. | ||

It's a possibility that Savior and other players have shown before. Honestly the players have to keep the spirit of the competition on their minds and do the right thing, but before Season 3 even starts we have this stupid mess. The fact it even happened is now up to MLG/Riot to decide if they need to set an example for their future. It's just something stupid they've done and I frankly won't follow Dig/Curse in their future tournaments, because they gave up their chance at first place and didn't show their spirit to win legitimately | ||

Because if they gave circuit points from 1st/2nd to 3rd/4th shouldn't oRb be the #8 spot at the regionals instead of mMe? http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/an-important-message-regarding-mlg-summer-championship-league-of-legends/ If oRb gets 2nd place circuit points mMe shouldn't be going to regionals and oRb might even become the 7th seed? I think it means that the 3rd and 4th place teams will still receive points for 3rd and 4th. ("no 1st or 2nd place will be awarded") So Curse and Dig just won't get any points, everything else stays the same. I dunno how that would affect the standings, though. | ||

Does anyone know yet though what's going to happen to final regional spot? If MLG is giving circuit points to 3rd/4th place teams as they said they would it changes up who gets to go to regionals. | ||
