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

Fair warning to all.

just got back from the event. it was disappointing, but the first dc was due to a crash and the second one was the node rebooting. For attendee we got a refund on our ticket, 25 dollar in rp, a choice of a hat teemo/ninja rammus/rammus, and the championship riven

So you basically got to watch two games of pro matches, a few matches today, and various free swag all for free. Not a bad deal. Obviously still disappointing that you don't get to be at the semi-finals live though.

Or were the tickets day-by-day? I was under the impression they were three day passes.

One has to feel bad for Riot. They've been under some extreme pressure given how well the International 2 went off and I think went too fast trying to "outdo" it in every way. Some more of the prize money definitely should have been put into production expenses and more consulting with companies like OGN and MLG or some Hollywood showmen about how do events without a hitch.

But regardless of what they should have done, it's really just plain bad luck that things worked out this horribly wrong. Really hoping that they'll produce the finals at a much higher level (now that they have more game content and a ton of experience and feedback) and get an event that at least rivals the Internaional 2
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

riven skin only for people who attend 2012 worldchampionship final i think. I think they weren't expecting that many people on stream, i think they were aiming @ 300k

It'll be in the store during finals. Everyone who watches the finals will also get a code to redeem. So essentially everyone who watches it and/or gets the code off sites like reddit or TL will get the Riven skin for free.

One thing to note about TI2 is that DotA 2 basically went into 100% development standstill and the studio went entirely dedicated to preparing the event well before it actually happened. While there were definitely complaints about not getting content patches leading up to, and after the event, in light of what happened here, going that extra step definitely paid off for Valve. All told, I don't think getting Kha'zix patch out the door a week before this was worth sacrificing any quality on this event.

As the Riot bashing seems to continue i'll repost :

Could we stop bashing Riot for a second, they are providing a free game, with a free stream, quality of the event is what it is, you think it's stupid: don't watch it.

Let's say you're a girl (viewer) and I (Riot) invited you for dinner at my place.

The dinner is a not as good as you expected, the steak is too cooked and I took ages in the kitchen,
At the end of the meal, you might :

- decide that I am still a cute guy that tried hard and that I deserve a blowjob after-all and stay
- decide that I am a total failure for missing the cooking of a gorgeous steak and decide to leave fast with a friendly advice on how I should use my oven next time.
- post-done the whole BJ plan to a future dinner, with the hope that it will be better next time


But simply spending the rest of the night sitting on my couch bitching about how the steak is better at your mom's/ex(Valve) is just being a moron.


Probably you should stop introducing blowjobs in your analogies. They'd get across more easily.


He is literally asking the community to suck Riot's cock.


let's not forget how sexist this bullshit is, a girl has to put out if you cook her a nice dinner? Please.

I think the code is only for the summoner icon.

The actual skin is buyable, or free if you went in person.

My big hope for this is not only does riot learn and implement a lan mode, but blizzard does too.

LAN. Soundproof booths. REAL analysis casters that can analyze a game correctly afterwards and explain stuff.

they need real booths so people cant cheat/get distracted.

i cant believe noone at riot sat himself into a competitioners pc and tried out how easy it would be to get information from the broadcast. (looks like they just need to look sideways to see the minimap over the other team)
And stop using riot employees at every event, this seriously stops commentator talent to develop.

TBF Jatt didn't do too bad, although he does mis-speak sometimes. LAN & soundproof booths definitely though. Amazed Riot can't just contact someone in OGN and get them to help?

They never wanted soundproof booth because then the teams are isolated from the crowd. I dont mind that there is no soundproof booths, but was I mind is that they can peak behind their back and see the screen. In addition the Headsets should cancel to 100% outside noises.
If you dont have booth you should eliminate that possibility.
