This is going to sound a bit ridiculous but the douzens of people that casually threw collusion/matchfixing accusations around yesterday while being 100% serious about it should get a warning. Questioning a team's integrity just because your korean boys might not have it in their own hands to make it out of groups anymore.


You act like teams throwing has never happened before.


Yea but you can cry about throwing after it happens not a day before the game is even played.

Hey what's the common term for what Monte is wearing? Is suspenders the "normal" word that everyone uses? :I
Translator gives me too many terms and most of them sound very odd.

So what? Accusing a team of throwing before they have even played (nor them being known for "fixing" games) is bullshit. Just because someone else has done it before is such a good argument.

I think it's shitty that Riot's format even made throwing a possibility.

It's really a product of the wider problem that Riot's format allows for so many games that don't directly affect a team's fate/standing. For example, if being 1st/2nd seed in the group mattered. then there wouldn't be as many accusations about throwing.

yeah those posts were pretty stupid and offensive -.- though those people will probably think they were in the right and even prevented the throw xD stupidity knows no bounds...

Keep talking like such things never happened before, lol. Well, I don't want to be the one to pop your pink bubble.


oh and that justifies conspiracy terrorism? IF it happens, speak up, if it does not, well, don't... the people insulting fnatic just wanted to feel smart should gambit win, but insulted a good team and their fans just as an added bonus, and i feel very comfortable calling that stupid.

Think everyone here agrees Riots format is terrible though. It is known. Actually one of the worst formats you could ever have for international competition.

Who cried? I said it will happen, I wasn't crying over it.

And it didn't happen, and the Earth still spins, but acting like it was some unimaginable, offensive fantasy of mine or others is plain ridiculous. Why should I be warned, for assuming something completely possible? Sorry for ruining everyone's perfect world, they think they are living in, I guess.

Man, you are still here? And defending yourself? Not only did you say Fnatic would throw, you made multiple posts saying that you will throw it in our faces when it happens. Time to own up bro.

I think if they had just seeded everyone in the groups it would have been fine.

i understand people's suspicions of what might have happened, as unfortunate as i think that that is one of our first reactions to such a setup. however fnatic had a lot to gain and lose by winning / losing the match vs gambit respectively (fan respect particularly in korea / accusations and allegations strengthened by such naysayers respectively) on the intangible aspect of things. while i think that it is noble from riot to expect that kind of playstyle and mentality, their format should still nonetheless create an incentive for top performance throughout the tournament (losers brackets etc. really helps this) which this format does not really do

Can't be serious? There's the tried and true "OGN/GSL/ect." method where it's not a true round robin but instead a mini double elim bracket for each group. It works perfectly in removing any incentives to throw.

The only reason for not having that is having extra games being played but then you can do TI3 type setup where the group stages are merely for seeding into the bracket play. Top of group goes to WB and bottom to LB but they don't have a double elim playoff stage either. Meh I shouldn't be starting a format discussion again ...
