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

If they seeded 4 teams Into the top 4 Can you tell me Why the hell they'd even bother with those other teams? Food for thought. | ||

'Cause if it's already something like, "Top seed from Pool A faces M5, second seed faces SK", you could definitely see a scenario where the final game in a pool is between two teams that are both 2-0, and both want to lose. (Just using SK and M5 as examples; I don't mean to imply that one is better than the other necessarily.) Has Riot done anything to address this possibility? Was thinking that too, the difference in facing M5 and SK is night and day, not saying SK couldn't pull off the upset but they are definitely a massive underdog to 8 of the 12 teams while M5 is the obvious front runners. Wouldn't be surprised to see a bad time baron called making one team get "caught" and lose. | ||

Just useless matches once 2 teams are through. (which tbh is the lesser of 2 evils) | ||

NA (3 spots) EU(3 spots) SEA(2 spots)China(2 spots) and Korea(2 spots). then they decided to have 4 Byes past the group stage. Korea got the odd man out.

One of the better things they did then other events even if its a simple thing. | ||

By doing so, we get to see "stability and creativity" inside 1 patch tournament. Things will be figured out, but it will also leave room to people who will want to break the meta. I believe every MAJOR sports do not change rules during a season. Maybe a game like LOL would gain something from this. TL;DR : by keeping 1 patch for a long time, things can be figured out and we will get to see better, refined plays. At the same time, because its the same patch, we can expect a sub-Meta to take form, and we can expect some teams to try counter the meta. And after one major tournament, BAM, all the newest patches apply, including all the new champions that came out. And team have to work hard to learn the new things. Of course, realistically, it would be hard... Players usually practice on the regular client. A solution to this would be limiting the RANKED games on the desired patch note, and leaving normals + customs on the newest patch. OR, by allowing custom games to decide which patch it will be played on (kind of like how in Warcraft 3, when you create a DOTA game, you can choose what patch you want to play). | ||

So basically, you have "different" stable period before every major tournaments. Teams get to practice on the same patch, without having to figure out things after every patch and after every champion release, and without the risk of a suddenly NEW op champion.

Riot has been leaning towards something like this but not completely just yet. They've made the patches around major competitions fairly minor so the live patch feels very similar to the tournament patch. | ||

Why would you do a coin toss for each game rather than one coin toss and then alternate sides? The probability of losing three coin tosses in a row is 12.5%, or 1 in 8. That's fairly frequent, so if the goal is to have as even a distribution of sides as possible this isn't exactly the best way to go about it. | ||

Its for the group stages, so its versus 3 different teams, alternating would work for a BoX series, but this is for 3 different teams. | ||
