Two things as public notice:
1. + Show Spoiler [Quarterfinals 1 spoiler] +
Congrats to Fnatic, they played superbly and glgl to them in the Semis!
No one is saying that Fnatic only won because of the level 1 in Game 3. Please keep the nationalistic statements out of our subforum.


2. Riot's Worlds format is atrocious. Let's not beat a dead horse here. I will certainly be talking to Riot's eSports dept about it in the near future.

I simply ask everyone to be civil. Humble in victory, graceful in defeat.
Enjoy the games~

I think Red gives better baron control, also some gimmicky things. For example gragas (or lux) red side makes it very easy to steal baron.

Pretty sure mathematics people will come in with stats saying blue side is stronger than red.

IMO it is, but that's mainly because of how more people learn/know to play blue side, where-as red side has it's own advantages/disadvantages.

You just have to rely on a hyperscaling AD and counterjungle/objective control extremely heavily.

It doesn't work in Solo Q because you can never rely on anyone but yourself


Unless you're shit tier like me and then he's an animal if you go AP toplane Nunu because nobody knows how to deal with it.

I've also had games in normals with friends where I ks support Nunu and then buy Trinity Force if we snowball hard enough.

I'm a terrible person.


.... that sounds completely legit. You can do basically anything in normals though


Honestly, it's just hilarious to Bloodboil, Triforce speed proc, and get the wolves/wraith buff with mobo boots. You can run anyone down and dodge whatever you want. You don't really do any damage though...

Do we know if Riot will do a 5th thru 8th ranking, cause I'd love to see some bragging rights if the teams that do lose fight amongst themselves for better ranking.

If nothing else, it'd give us more games and the teams more international experience, which should help all regions grow.

No 5-8 games. No 3-4 either.


Boo, I feel like that's a huge oversight on Riot's part. Like we've got the other quarterfinals tomorrow, then we have 3 days of nothing before Semis and Finals. If Riot filled in those days with 5th - 8th and 3rd/4th place matches, it'd be a ton of entertainment IMO.

But like you said, you're gonna give criticism to Riot about their matchup system. I think it's just something they should consider for next season.


can you name 1 sports tournament that plays out 5-8. Thirdplace Match I could understand.


Traditional sports, none. I believe eSports have done it though, depending upon the games. I think it's happened sometimes in SC2 and CS:Source.

America may not have recreated Manifest Destiny, but we sure as fuck are going to force the Chinese to rebuild that railroad over their dead bodies.


Is it bad that I have no idea what this manifest or railroad business is?


No, just internal history. So I'll expalin it.

Manifest destiny was a rationale of conquest from the east coast to the west coast. Basically it says it was America's destiny to conquer and control the land from sea to shining sea.

The railroad thing is basically when America put up a lot of internal infrastructure all throughout America, but it was mostly done by using cheap immigrant labor. Most notably the Chinese immigrants were given these high risk low paying jobs and it is suspected that for every foot of rail is the equivalent of one dead man.

A key part of MD was kicking all the other 'powers' of the time out as well as ignoring any potential claims of non-whites etc. It's a pretty ugly part of U.S. history (although there's a lot of regrettable stuff). The exploitation of Chinese (and other east asian) immigrants is far far worse than even stuchiu suggests.

See above: exaggeration.

Now, this was the period during which we saw the effective genocide (or ethnic cleansing at the very least) of the Native Americans in the US. Fking Andrew Jackson man. Absolute worst president in US history. Trail of Tears, man.

I kinda agree with you, but I just wanted to mention that Andrew Jackson is actually very highly regarded by historians because he played a key role in getting rid of the national bank and was also a huge protector of popular democracy and individual liberty. Jackson is a very polarized figure because he did some absolutely great things for the country, but also did some of the worst.

Blue side has a better approach to Baron in a lot of people's opinion.

Yeah, it's normals and I'm bad, so I just run around like a retard and the other team usually just panics.

I've heard about the camera angle and HUD being on the bottom giving bottom side the advantage since DotA

Generally it's FP, and the threat of getting a good, non-banned FotM. For purple/red, banning Zed (unless you started playing a Zed hardish counter mid like Riven) is mandatory, for instance.

Previously, there was blue/red imbalance because bottom lane for blue could take double golems and get an early level 2 easypeasy, and better dragon control, and teams started doing the 2v1 to mitigate it (so purple/red side could get double golems too).

Changes to the jungle make it unattractive now.

There are more gimmicky things, like Lux/Gragas stealing baron, or red side being able to take baron from the other side of the wall with certain champions (Trist, Cait, Lee Sin, and some other long range champions with sustained damage).

I think it's been more about the pick/ban control in Worlds this time around.

Although purple side barons have been god awful all tournament as well so who knows.
