I heard rumors when PAX first sold out that it sold out in record time due to the LoL tournament. If those rumors are true it's going to be packed as fuck in there. edit: Also, I posted this in the general thread but if anyone's going to be there and wants to hang with me and some friends one day feel free to drop me a PM. I'd be down for hitting up a bar too especially since only one of my friends is likely to drink with me. | ||

I wonder how many Diana/Zyra picks will come out, and if we'll see much variation from the Corki/Ez/Graves botlane trinity (or if anyone aside from Elementz will run non-standard supports). | ||

Curse is seemingly the only team out of the top 4 with an easy first round. The other three all have a realistic chance at being upset(Dignitas most of all). Should be interesting to see how CLG.NA responds to Legion's early-game strategies. Not sure how familiar they are with them, setting up a possible WE situation again.

I totally recommend wandering around Bumbershoot and listening to anything that catches your ear if you're willing to spring for a ticket, though. There's a stage set up inside EMP that tends to have pretty neat stuff fairly frequently. I never actually realized that Bumbershoot was over Labor Day weekend. I don't know when I thought it happened. I feel like I should be forced to give up my Sound residency and move to Spokane or something. | ||

I don't have internet at work so I'm going to have to hope for a fast rebroadcast...  Sad, at least with EU regionals I could catch some before I left to work. | ||

I feel like I should be forced to give up my Sound residency and move to Spokane or something. I don't think Legion's early game strats are going to be anywhere near as refined as Korean early game strategies. And considering the sheer skill leap I don't see why people think there's a realistic chance that TSM or CLG could get eliminated first round. I may end up eating my words or something but unless TSM/CLG derp super hard there's almost no chance of them losing round 1 based purely on player skill alone. I think it's kinda sad that Salce finally gets a team with proper sponsorship yet it's an overall weaker team in relation to the scene than when he had Dan Dinh jungle and Dyrus/Doublelift alternating on AD/support. edit: They decided to host the event at PAX. I don't think Riot could afford to be too picky about what times the games could happen. They probably just took whatever they could get. edit2: I could see CLG losing if Legion got WildTurtle to sub again.  | ||

It better live up to my hype. I am expecting crazy fucking strats. TSM and CLG better have some super cray stuff since they didn't go to MLG  .I am expecting Jungle Nidalee from CLG. | ||

Didn't see picks bans but comps were: Orb: Tristana / Nunu / Skarner / Yorick / Orianna mMe: Graves / Lulu / Maokai / Irelia / Cassiopeia It doesn't feel like Orianna / Yorick / Skarner go well together at all. Yorick doesn't have a good midgame target for his ult to go zombie mode - sure, ulting tristana late is great, where its sorta giving you two carries but in earlier teamfights when tristana is still weak this is when you see Yorick ulting a mage for them to go Karthus-mode. Orianna doesn't have anyone who can dive into the enemy team and get an R on many targets. Sure, skarner likes the MS from W, but Skarner wants to kidnap a solitary target, not so much dive into the middle of 5. Skarner doesn't have a team that will help him "get the grab" except for orianna - he pretty much has to just facetank the enemy team, run in there, and grab someone. + Show Spoiler [game1] + MME wins game 1. | ||

I wonder how many Diana/Zyra picks will come out, and if we'll see much variation from the Corki/Ez/Graves botlane trinity (or if anyone aside from Elementz will run non-standard supports). No Diana picks, she's globally banned from the tournament. I actually really like that they've taken to disabling the most recent champion from most tournaments. It allows them to have the most recent balance patch without the corresponding champion (which may be OP or not, doesn't matter.) | ||
