Keep the rage to a minimum. This includes wait times between games, music, and balance.

Fair warning to all.

People, you gotta keep in mind that TSM's schedule for practice is much more rigorous and effective than the other NA teams. I for one expect them to put up a great fight against Frost.

literally m5 is the only favorite of all the quater finalists with a bye, and even their game will be close, it's no wonder iG was so dissapointed.


Maybe they can make an arrangement with M5 where they both send their DotA teams instead.

there are no statistical tiebreakers, all ties will be played out, it's pretty clearly stated in the OP and on leaguepedia

Does that include determining placements for e.g. 10th vs 11th place since there is a reward difference?

Thast exactly what he was trying to say. And yes, Leaguepedia says that, too.

But oh well we are debating something that wont happen anyway.

You're right. The best way for a scene to grow, get sponsors, etc. is embarrassment and failure.


The NA teams are spoiled (Curse, CLG, TSM) compare their teamhouses to them Koreans. Compare their dedication to them Koreans.

Ps; I do realise IG is a billionare dollar team with a freaking insane teamhouse, but they're chinese they have some sick dedication to :D


Afaik Chinese LoL teams have practice schedules similar to Korean teams

i wouldn't call them joke teams. More like good-but-not-great teams. Losing to asian teams ≠ being bad.

Btw, Lol world championships (nicknamed 'loldcup' by koreans, which is a portmaneau of lol world cup) is ranked 1st on naver's search ranking, korean equivalent of google.

Curse was TSM's practice partner for the last days. And SaintVicious said they went pretty even against TSM although they are not at their best at the moment. He didnt think too much of TSM's play.

I'm hoping teams from around the world remain relevant. Much better for us spectator. (we can cheer for something ^^)
But again, with Riot's tournaments format, the NA and EU (but EU will probably remain relevant) will always get seedings into the worlds.

Yeah, this too. NA teams get some much stuff just being in NA. While Asian teams(which are much better than NA teams)esp SEA teams has like no big tourney at all to play, thus get so much less attention.
Lets say you put TPA, SGS or even SAJ in the NA scene, don't even mention Frost, Blaze or Najin...

90% aspd buff is dps gain compared to other ad carries because all their aspd buffs are lower with more uptime. If you insist that the fight is going to last longer than seven seconds then I have no ground to stand on.


I actually just checked it and you are correct Tristanas dmg is pretty high (lower then kogmaws/vayne but not by much) assuming 4 items and 2.5k hp/170 Armor. And yes fights often last longer than seven seconds (I played a lot of kogmaw and the 8s there is really hard to play around with aswell but obviously a Trist without Q is more usefull than a Kogmaw without W)

Having watched some SEA tournaments, NA teams are definitely better by and large. CLG.EU and M5 are the only good European teams right now. There's a lot more top and up-and-coming teams in NA than in EU and SEA.

Korea / China are what you want to keep an eye on.

Well actually I kind of want TSM to win just to basically have an NA team to root for but then again I wonder if them losing would be a better impact for the NA scene as a whole.
