Why was Rumble not nerfed before. So strong. Never played him because I thought he was abusive. Same reason why Anivia wasn't nerfed. Not enough people played her to abuse her.
I don't know why people hate on anivia. There's so many ways to beat her, and she's quite poor in the current meta(rapidstar went so far as to call her unfit for the current meta in his AMA). Poor roaming, poor dueling, mediocre lanephase until 6+blue(strong vs misplays, or with good jungle ganks, but with the heavy warding, it's very difficult).

Generally Chinese love America or anything American so I'd expect so loud cheer for NA today. But tbh, people just tend to cheer for the team that make plays and stuff.

Just got home and start to watch the vods. Did anyone release any number of viewers for the first day yet?
It was ~250k YT + Twitch and ~600k Chinese streams.
870K people on Twitch, YT and Chinese Twitch for the China vs NA game 1, that was the highest I saw yesterday.
Korea is hard to keep track of because TVing uses % of total viewerbase as a counter instead of a raw number, and I couldnt find the total number of TVing viewers. Afreeca and Daumpot had around 15k for KR, and so did OGNs YT stream. Numbers from OGN on TV is gonna be hard to get, same with Chinese TV and V.QQ.COM, also no way to get Azubu numbers..
Also Marc Merril retweeted me yesterday for the 820K viewer tweet, which makes me think that its pretty close to being correct.
Ill tweet more numbers today as we start

Lol, they have to censor "Taipei Assassins" and the flags on the uniforms of TPA in the Season 2 Finals video because they're in China.

Plz stop. Just give them the rings and leave.

Truly custom made.
They just put 'TPA' on the side.

It depends and go both way though. Mainland Chinese think that Taiwan is China and then view TPA as a Chinese team while Taiwanese think they are independent and has nothing to do with China.
I am quite sure most Taiwanese don't want to be count as Chinese national so TPA is Taiwan pride.

The Chinese like flashy players and playstyles, it's why they love Dendi and Loda and cheer the hell out of them. They also love the shit out of Grubby. I think everyone's seen the video of him running from his fans.

I just caught up.
#1. WTF Dyrus not playing Renekton in 2 games where it was open both games? G1, ok, protect the liftlift. G2? They had no damage and really coulda used a champion that did stuff.
#2. NA is really just team SaintV. G1, he plays terrible early and they are bad, finally he does something good and it looks like a possible comback. WAIT NO BETTER RECALL IN THE MIDDLE OF A LANE, GG.
G2? Dominate early? Yes! Get outsmited at baron to lose the game? Of course!
#3. Soaz is terrible or Shy is amazing. Also Yellowpete played much better than I expected.

Man, Dyrus's attitude compared to the others is hilarious. >_>
