[S3 Worlds] Quarterfinals - Page 173

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~

As funny as this blue side OP thing, I've seen little to imply that it has had a big impact on these games.

First pick vs second pick drafts very differently. I don't think it's coincidence that drafts from purple side are worse.

EDIT: In fact, part of the express purpose of changing the multi-phase ban system in DotA was to mitigate the first pick draft advantage (e.g. second pick in first pick phase gets first pick in the second pick phase).

Riot doesn't want to expose the secret!

at least they fixed the bug where purple side got as much XP for minions as blue did.

that'd almost have brought them on the same level.
The horror

I wonder how deep Nagne's champ pool is. He's only played Ahri so far, even in NLB he only played Ahri.

This was fixed like 2 days after they realized it. It was fixed first on the tournament server. As much as people are having fun with the blue side op stuff, please don't spread old information around.

There's a reason every team picks blue side whenever they win the coin flip.

Yeah, plz. blue side's op'd has to do with the hidden aura, not something as blatant as xp differences.

Well if there was a disconnect between FP and Side then maybe there would be a choice at the coin flip but there isn't so it's silly that coin flip isn't just who is blue lol(I guess it is anyway)

Nagne was one of the best Junglers in Korean solo queue. However with the poor performance of Ssong, he switched positions mid. His best champ is zed

I think I have this intermission song burned into my brain.
I wish they at least got a different song between rounds. Also that sound of the game thing is nice. I wish they did it more.

And when they did 'shout' they all called the same thing, that's wild coordination.

The logical solution is to let 1 team choose pick order and the other choose map side, but despite a whole season of blue/purple imbalance being a potential issue, Riot still has not implemented anything in client to make this possible.
