Riot practically handed out charity to the new regions so they can get exposure at worlds and some dudebros came and took it from them despite barely being better. paiN Gaming deserved to be at worlds to represent Brazil. but they didnt win... now stop that crying. | ||

I want more Chinese teams moving forward. I've been rooting for them since S2, haha, so the more Chinese teams the better for me. I'm already sad enough that Misaya the Savior and WeiXiao the God and Ciaomei the Guardian Angel all decided to be feeders so I just want more Chinese teams out there.  #2. I think Royal can really troll a team that doesn't have any experience with them. It'd be nice if it wasn't OMG. | ||

At the end of the day if you want to win the tournament you go through everyone right? If they're comfortable playing them again because they're confident in beating them. By all means go for it. | ||

He wants to see more chinese games played, cuz he enjoys watching chinese teams play. It's just a sentiment | ||

Riot really needs to polish up their tournament format; not seeing the top seeded teams in group stage is terrible too from viewer's point of view. They should just do 4 groups of 4, and do the GSL/Proleague format or something. It matters for the same reasons that the rest of the tournament matters: there is money on the line. | ||

The point wasn't to perform at Worlds; I'm fine with Mineski being here. | ||

WE has had a shaky season going 13-8 and barely making their season finals in LPL. SK is without two players at the moment and finished 7th in EU LCS (lol?). Copenhagen wolves isn't even real anymore considering their roster moved to NiP. EG finished 4th in EU LCS playoffs. The Azubu teams are now on CJ entus, and shield hasn't been relevant in months. Once you start following the scene for real instead of just randomly cherry picking teams that were good 6 months ago your opinion might make sense, but right now none of the teams you listed deserves to be in Worlds. EDIT: On September 22 2013 10:58 bokchoi wrote: i think you hit it on the nail right there.. GOOD teams, not great. They're not even GOOD. They're mediocre in their own regions. They'd be bad at worlds. | ||

They should just do 4 groups of 4, and do the GSL/Proleague format or something. I think there's a lot of issues that Riot Gaming needs to work on before pretending that their tournament is the pinnacle of e-Sports just because of the scale of the competition. IPL5 was a great example of how a large scale international tournament should be designed because despite having more of a North American-heavy line up in terms of participating teams, IPL5 felt more of an authentic international tournament because of their far superior tournament design compared to S2 World Championship. Simple things like sound-proof booths, smarter bracket design, and simple usage of elements that have served competitive gaming well over the years would make this a much more respectable competition. | ||
