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

Fair warning to all.

I pray to god that the new bug Navi told me about doesn't ruin this game.


explain bug pls?

If you ult Kog too close to death, it doesn't save Kog--Kog still dies and his passive activates and he runs around with the Zilean ult buff on him when he explodes (wasting the Zilean ult).

The optimal play from any Zilean player is to last-second ult when possible, so the bug REALLY hurts Zilean+Kog.

Hmm, if this is real, this is gonna be huge.

Go M5! Never watched LoL tournaments before, and only played a little myself, but this tournament seems really professional.

IIRC, a guy on reddit said exactly 50 were picked or banned after day 1. Xin and Zilean have added to that.

seems like kog is pretty popular among the top teams


Have we already forgotten the famous PROTECT KOGMAW COMP?

Some people say that Trist and Vayne have the scariest late game....
Could it be they are wrong and Kog has the strongest late game because of insane range? (which allow poke strat)


Kog lane phase and mid game is better than both of them. Trist is a bit better in lane during really early levels (like 1-3). But Kog mid game is much stronger.

Come late game Kog has better poke and has AoE CC.

That's why she wasn't picked yet.
That was the first Eve game so far.

It's possible that the bug is only on live and not on their tournament version, because IIRC we found out about it on the current live version.

It would be a HUGE problem if the bug affects this game.

On the issue of qualification vs. invitation for the tournament that someone brought up a few pages, I'm sort of torn 50:50 on this. On the one hand, qualification is more "fair", but on the other hand, invitation allows you to produce a better tournament with more crowd popularity/hype by ensuring that you bring teams that deserve to be there. This is especially true given the region skew that having invites allows you to account for--TI2 had 4 invites + 1 qualified team from China, and all told I don't think it would be too far off to say that a similar number of teams from Korea actually deserve to be here over some of their NA/EU counterparts (Blaze 100% deserves to be here over SK or Dignitas, CLG.NA probably still worth inviting due to being a huge crowd favorite even though they don't perform that well).

Probably the best medium is a mix of invite and qualifier slots. Valve's split between invites and qualifiers was 14+2, and realistically you could probably do 12+4 or 10+6 and still invite most of the people worth inviting.

It's not really a question of who deserve what. Riot is thinking long term, you also got to help the regional scene to continue living, if you only give slot to the international tournament to the best team, then the weakest scene will eventually disappear.

Also, I don't understand why they should invite anyone ? Valve's IT is not really an exemple in this regard. LOL already has a lot of different tournaments (IEM, MLG, IPL). S2 is supposed to be the tournament that makes the pro scene and the semi pro scene clash out and see if new faces can rise out.

Yorick was first ban :/ One of the few times Phreak's expression has mirrored mine.

I said 50 were picked or banned. Don't know how many were just picked(Eve finally being picked might have made that number the same, to be fair.)

M5 is winning by picking Chinese heroes like LeeSin and Xin, this time they have LeeSin and Sona. iG's beginning to catch on and countering with Vlad pick, but they need more of stuff like morde, kat, and mundo to stand a chance
