[S3 Worlds] Quarterfinals - Page 216

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~

Wasn't Royal seeded second in LPL summer playoffs?

So... at least they won't play in the first round.

I'm still cringing at "aggressive Chinese teams"

I'm torn because my semis ticket is for the winner of this game vs. Fnatic, and I want to see OMG but I think it sucks if Royal flies to the US to just play OMG. wtf is that.

I'd actually loved to see NJS vs OMG. I think CN vs Kor matches are pretty highly anticipated. If anything I'd rather get Bears to draw Gambit because we don't know how strong Bears are but Gambit looked shaky during groups. Fnatic vs C9 should happen as it's the strongest NA team vs the strongest EU team. That leaves Royal vs SKT which i perfectly fine IMO. =)


I definitely wanna watch Royal vs SKT game. I think Royal has all the weapons to beat SKT. Godlike is the MVP of Chinese regional if I remember correctly. Their bot lane duo is one of the best in the world. Faker is probably better than Wh1t3zZ but Wh1t3zZ's iconic champions (fizz kassadin) are so op right now.

They have the Staples Center for one day. They will run a four to five hour show which is a lot and every minute costs more (there will be a LOT of people working who want to get paid). A Bo3 (and people would still complain about that) for third place would eat 2 more hours of expensive production, would take time away to set up the Grandfinals (and they are supposed to be smooth and perfect), could lessen the hype and there are a probably a lot more reasons I can't think of right now.

That's why a 3rd place match at Staples is no option and Riot wants to put all resources into the Grand Finals so they just can't let it be played at another venue and another day. They just don't have the infrastructure to do it.

Shame, because even though I'm excited to go to the finals, I'm still bummed it's only a single BO5.

That's true, I'm sure his Ibuypower blog also gives them really nice traffic.

I predicted in the very beginning that Doublelift would be the one NA player to boost his popularity the most during Worlds.

DL has always been insanely popular. The DL story makes everyone have the feelz.

So dlift owes his popularity to travis, travis better get his share of the dlift moonies.

Seriously though, Travis said he owes just as much to DL for getting him into the esports scene as an interviewer.

Picking your opponent is by far the best way to add hype to any competition and isn't used nearly enough. Even athletic sports would benefit immensely. There's just built in drama.


Yeah, it's a shame we don't see it more often in certain games as well. It's not just about drama. It gives a chance for those players/athletes to build their own base. Nothing wrong with more exposure.

I've seen SotG for different games (like guildwars) years ago. With the exact same name too.

if they allowed pick-an-opponent, then the outcome will probably be the same.

either royal or swords will get first pick from whatever round the seeds play, bears will get last, and c9 somewhere in the middle.

so gambit will be taken first, then between omg and fnatic royal might pick omg for the personal revenge factor, thinking they need to prove themselves. then bears are stuck with t1 lol
