i saw that happen when the crowd was freaking about something, can the players actually see the main stage screen? Hearing the crowd freak out is one thing, being able to see the main stage screen would be so sad for the competition.

Yeah this would be an absolutely sickening bo3 to lose for either team at this point.

If i was on the winning team, i don't think i would openly celebrate at all and just instantly go over to the other team. It's just not the way you want to win something like this.

You got jokes..? OGN has been running tournaments in places with games when valve's idea of hat's on things was but a twinkle in newel's eye.
I hear the new OSL is going very well. Tons of viewers every night, heated LR threads, etc.
Oh wait.
But the Azubu the Champions Tournament is a smashing success in Korea, and they already hosted 2 big finals without a hitch.
Look, Korea doesn't have the same sort of issues we have here in the US. OGN doesn't deal with the venue network hardware failures that US organizers deal with regularly. OGN broadcasts to television stations, which never happens with US eSports.
Valve is a better model for Riot because they are an US company and ran their tournament in the US. There's no excuse for Riot to fail this bad given their financial success, and one hopes they're going to learn a lot from this experience.

Valve would react the exact same way if they got hit with hardware issues during the international. Anyone thinking otherwise is fooling themselves.
You know, what's really unfair about this is if they expect to still do the semis after this, whoever wins this game then has to go on to play Frost, who haven't played yet today and have gotten to watch and strategize through 6+ games of content.
Pretty silly to me to expect one team to play potentially 9 games straight and bring their all against another team that's just been sitting there and watching their potential opponents play.

Valve is willing to give LAN. That's the main difference.
