I was so excited for worlds and now this. The format is so bad, there are too many meaningless games. They should have copied the format of the international, where everyone advances into a tournament bracket and you play groups for seeding because then, there are no meaningless games.
And the way to worlds seems very questionable too, the skill discrepancy between some teams is just unbelievable. Fuck this wildcard bullshit and just give china another seed.


Ah don't worry at least it's over now. From now on every game matters.


Except this next game.

If OMG lost their game would you have said the same thing? Both teams took picks and bans as a joke. You can't actually believe OMG expected that to work as well as it did considering how close their last stint was with lemondogs.

They usually use a poke heavy adc . Since ezreal and caitlyn are picked as well as Jayce is nerfed, nidalee is not that troll to me.

It's true. I've posted nearly 500 posts in this thread alone.


While watching picks/bans, I regularly miss 2-3 pages each time. Good times


No need to really watch pick/bans, just see the end result

I've had at least 100 posts today... I now understand how people can amass 5 digit post counts

See TSM, it helps when you're actually good enough to get away with the troll picks. But at least Dyrus didn't give FB this time.

TSM is all about fan.service. TSM fans got their Teemo, so their team is the coolest shit out there. Meanwhile they are actually pretty stupid, losing out on big cash.


With there huge fan base what's 15k in the end, they make that back in no time

Nah, troll picks only worth it if TSM win. Many of their fans are more disapointed in them right now. If you are not good enough just don't troll picks.


Sometimes when you're having a bad day it's not a bad idea to do such things. It's not poor morale. They were giving back to the fans.

I didn't get the "giving to the fans" argument, is that what TSM fans want to see?


Who doesn't like seeing Teemo pop-up in a comp? How can you not love the little guy? They were having fun when things weren't going well. When teams are not doing so hot, coaches use such strategies in practice to get players to loosen up. Considering who TSM was up against and the fact they were knocked out. They felt it necessary to have a fun game where they play heroes they want to play and reverse roles. Big whoop. It's one thing to do it in a scrim where people don't get to watch it's another thing to do it on a main stage of a big competition. This is something you would rarely see and that's why it can be fun for the fans.

Meh. They were out. GG.eu was out. They did fanservice to their fans. If they're all okay with giving up $15,000 to have some fun and make a few of their fans happy, then I'm fine with it. It's not my money that they're losing my picking Teemo and role swapping.

I actually try to understand the picks/bans. It's really interesting once you pay more attention to such things

I don't think it has anything to do with "maturity". It's just a different attitude they (unfortunately) have, where the entertainment/personality aspect often tends to outweigh the competitive aspect money-wise. I don't think that they "need to grow up", it's rather that the whole attitude needs to change fundamentally.

That was more arrogance and there was still a method to their picks. TSM just swapped almost everyone's positions AND picked dumb shit for the funsies.

There is a difference with what OMG did and what TSM did.

You guys have to understand that $15 grand is chump change for TSM

Um, even if you make 100k a year I don't think an easy 3k for each player is "chump change".


It's hard to know since their salaries aren't public. But since Regi is such a "businessman" and is running his "brand" then that must have been done for a reason eh?

Okay, let's say they earned more money with trolling now, than if they had won and then beaten LD after that. It's still not right. It's bad enough a team like GGEU could get here, and now a respected team with huge tradition just says "fuck worlds and professionalism, WE HAVE TEEEMOOO!". You see, other teams "trolly" comps were not straight out stupid, they were imaginative and actually real comps, a bit different from the meta.

What TSM did was just a pure circus show.

Not really. Perhaps a slight difference in effort level because they swapped roles, but both teams didn't put their full effort in going into the match and didn't take the outcome of the game seriously whatsoever.
