Game shouldn't be over at the pick/ban phase as much as it is in dota. Not to mention it takes like 20 minutes for the game to start

Eh. Games aren't decided by pick/ban phase all that often, especially when it's the top teams playing. I do agree that the Dota pick/ban system artificially inflates game time to the point where it can be annoying though.

Although I think it can easily be remedied if solo q gets bans upped to 4 per team, but keep same pick/ban style. Then ranked 5s, custom games, and tourney realm can have a more interactive pick/ban phase. This way the dirty casuals average LoL players don't have to wait forever for games to start, while we can get more interesting and interactive pick/ban in games where it really matters. Besides, pro teams usually only play solo q for mechanics practice and blowing off steam, while relying on scrims for the real practice.

I think the pick/ban phase needs to be remade, but not so simply as just adding more bans. The problem right now is that first pick is heavily favored because the other team has to ban out all the OP champions while the other team just bans niche champions the other team uses.

not really. Atm the power of counterpicking solo lanes is very high. So I wouldn´t agree at all, that blue side is favored right now.

Riot have to play those stock songs because they're probably cheap to license. You can hear the stock music on ESPN commercials, etc.

I'd argue that counterpicking solo lanes means even less in the current meta with the prevalence of lane swaps to get favorable matchups. That makes having the last pick to counter has less impact which makes blue side first pick even stronger.

Counterpicking the teamcomp rather than the lane is still a viable course of action, though

Counterpicking only works when all the tier 1 heroes get banned out. Before then you just really choose what you think your team wants in relation to what they want to take it away from them.

Vulcan vs Gambit and how well Fnatic bounces back are going to decide a lot today for this group.

I think fnatic really need to adapt or they'll lose to gambit 100%. Gambit has changed up their playstyle and picks and not sure if what carried Fnatic in LCS can do the same here at the international stage. Personally I think the european meta was the weakest coming into Worlds.

Vulcun vs Gambit could prove pivotal. If Vulcun wins that game they are i fantastic position to qualify from the group. They looked good versus Fnatic and Ozone so I believe they can do it.

Should prove to be a fun night of games.

If vulcan wins and Europe gets shut out of top 8 it would be an incredible shift in whos the strongest region in the world.

I'm pretty sure that the shift would be regarding the weakest region in the world.

On another note, hoping for a long shot on SSO to lose to Fnatic today so we can have some fun times in group B

It would certainly add some serious suspense to the group stages, having 4 legitimate contenders for the 2 spots instead of 3 for 1(and those 3 looking awfully meh in comparison).
