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

Fair warning to all.

From what I read the teams will be seperated and there will be no possible interaction between them at all

they've said that they're setting the teams up far away from eachother in the back of the stage where they can't see eachother. They'll havn't really said much about other languages or what they're going to do about cameras and stuff. I guess we'll see in a few hours when it starts.

Hmmm, no one on TL is making a fuss that Frost cheated, but everyone on Reddit pretty much thinks they did. I'm confused, is there any strength to teh claim that Frost cheated, other than head tilt?

Apparently the frost player pinged blindly on the mini map where TSM was after he supposedly looked at the screen

The thing is, Riot marketed this tournament in such a way that the only tournament people will ever compare this to is TI2. The prize pool, the attitude of the promo video, all of it screams "we want to one-up Valve". And unfortunately, even if there were no problems on day 3, the production would still be 100% worse than TI2 in every regard (except for having translators).

It's unfortunate, but that's the level of hype Riot built going into this, and they haven't been able to live up to it.

And then theres the 2 day delay, delays because of the sun (!?), alleged cheating, awful format and terrible commentators (that last one is just a personal opinion of course)

Personally, the thing to to me is that it just feels like Riot didn't try as hard as Valve when it came to making this the best tournament in the world. If Riot put in all the effort Valve did, and some unfortunate events made them fall short, then I could forgive them. But it's very clear that Riot did not invest as much effort into running the World Championships as Valve did. Let's look at the facts here:

- Two weeks before TI2, Valve effectively went to development standstill to prepare for TI2. The last patch before TI2 was 2 weeks before the event, and development effectively stalled through TI2, as there was no patch for a similar length of time after the event was over. What's more, this patch was a content-less bugfix patch, meaning that it's likely a lot of the designers/artists that had no content to produce were already shifting into TI2 work before the patch. For the period of two weeks leading up to TI2, THE ENTIRE STUDIO was devoted to running the event.

- Kha'zix patch was released 1 week before World Championships. What's more, this was a full-blown content patch, using the work of the studio as normal to develop. There was effectively no transition into working on on Worlds. What's more, Ezreal made a Twitter post on developing a new AD carry the Monday after the event--indicating a business-as-usual Monday for most of the company after this weekend. You have the biggest fiasco in E-sports history on your hands--HOW ARE YOU NOT DEVOTING THE ENTIRE STUDIO TO FIX THIS?

Valve--ALL of Valve--put their hearts and souls into making TI2 work. Riot feels like the E-sports department did the work itself (with some contracted-out manpower), and for the most part the rest of the company didn't really give a damn and just continued business as usual.

Im sorry but i cant help but shake my head at this video.
They had a cheese strat that worked on Blue side. Thats fine, nothing wrong with it.
They then changed it for purple without trying. But this was during Group play. why try something untested if your in group play. Its the sort of move you make when your desperate. not for the first 2 games of your tournament
He talks about how they were very confident but this is CLG.US right? The team that everyone wrote off because they were spamming soloQ 8 hours a day as a minimum. Look at iG, Azubu, Najin, these are confident teams that didnt spam soloQ as practice.

I know Chau might mean well but this just once again shows me how underdeveloped the US LoL scene really is.

How is a champion designer related to event planning and what does it matter if he is doing the job he was paid for.
If I have warehouse workers but im planning an event to show off my products I don't bring the guy who drives a forklift and expect him to magically make my event better.
If you really think that a complete halt in the studio would of been a better solution, then show me what TI2 champion (or balance) designer did to impact a event unrelated to his job.
