LD, 1st GG, 2nd 3-7 REST "these matches will decide it": Fnatic vs. MYM NiP vs. ATN EG vs. ATN EG win = EG playoffspot NiP vs. SK SK win = 14-14, Fnatic vs. Gambit SK needs to win to have a tie. Fnatic needs to win one of two to have a tie. EG win = guarantee spot @ play offs otherwise possible tie. ATN needs to win one of two to have a tie. NiP needs to win one of two to have a tie. MYM 8th | ||

I'm starting to wonder if the weekly league format is bad for improvement for teams. Of course it should bring the teams up on a general level but it doesn't do much for preparing for a single team in a BoX series which we've seen is a huge thing for players in all competitive games. I'm wondering if a group stage -> bracket like OGN is a better way for improving as a team. | ||

The more preparation on a team for a specific team is just better for a team overall than just spamming games for a league. And also the bo1 format is just dull and doesn't have such a big impact as a groupsystem as OGN is using. | ||

The possible tiebrakers: NiP vs aTn: NiP win (14-13) EG vs aTn: aTn win (14-14) / and EG (14-14) SK vs NiP: SK win (14-14) and NiP (14-14) Fnatic win vs MyM and Fnatic loses vs GG: GG 2nd and Fnatic (14-14) And then WHat?!?!?!??! SK vs EG = 2-2 SK vs Fnatic = 3-1 SK vs aTn = 2-2 SK vs NiP = 2-1 (with one more match to play, but 2-2 if its a tiebreaker) EG vs SK = 2-2 EG vs aTn = 0-4 (if its a tie) EG vs NiP = 3-1 EG vs Fnatic = 2-2 Fnatic vs EG= 1-3 Fnatic vs NiP= 1-3 Fnatic vs SK= 1-3 Fnatic vs aTn= 3-1 aTn vs EG = 4-0 aTn vs Fnatic = 1-3 aTn vs SK = 2-2 aTn vs NiP = 2-2 (if 4 way tie) NiP vs SK = 2-2 NiP vs Fnatic = 1-3 NiP vs EG = 3-1 NiP vs aTn = 2-2 (if 4 way tie) Do all the teams get to play round robin or will there be teams that have a GO to playoffs? | ||

A problem that no OGN team has in the first place. | ||

I'm wondering if a group stage -> bracket like OGN is a better way for improving as a team. I think it would be more enjoyable having Bo2 games each night. So you have less teams playing but at least have a similar structure to box. This also means teams can have more by weeks to prep. Really dislike the Bo1 they doing currently. | ||

Due to uneven damage contribution between minions, more often than not minions from one side are focused hard and die fast, while from the other side the damage is spread and they live more, snowballing the minion war. It is really easy to freeze a lane in such an instance, by last-hitting at last possible second, or even not last-hitting at all untill the enemy minions are clearly stronger or until you realise that its impossible to freeze because your minions are winning. I gurantee that this is 100% accurate information but any disbeliever can just create custom 1v1s and observe the sidelanes. FSB | ||

As genja returned, he noticed the enemy wave was pushing so he froze it. Pretty nice luck. | ||

Double AD comps are pretty bad in 3.10, the people mentioning that it is common in Korea have to realize they are on 3.9 and I think teams are not playing optimally versus it either. The reason double ad comps are not good is because the window you have to make things happen before being outscaled already puts you in a vulnerable position that good teams can exploit. Look forward to the MYM vs LD game. Nothing on the line for either team and the result doesn't effect any other teams. Something fun is coming! | ||

Wait don't double AD comps scale better into the late game? Nothing scales better than an ADC (sorry, marksman) right? | ||
