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~

OGN is far more accessible to Western audiences than the LPL and is also far more hyped. Just look in the prediction thread and you can see almost everyone expected SKT and Ozone to 8-0 their groups, while OMG, despite being regarded as the best team in China, was thought to be scrapping it out with LD and TSM for 2nd. And that's on TL. You'd have to either have a special interest in Chinese LoL or be an extremely hardcore fan to know anything at all about Uzi coming into this tournament, while the Faker hype has been almost impossible to escape.

I don't see how OGN is more accessible, they just get more exposure. LPL has like all the vods on Youtube for free, you gotta get behind a paywall for OGN.

This.

Sure the NA/EU audience didn't know about Uzi till yesterday, but they didn't know about Faker for that long either.

That might have been a direct result of the Korean hype coming into Worlds and SKT T1 winning OGN Summer and Korean Quals.

Surely Faker Leblanc and Faker Jayce snipe were viral, but the big Faker hype train didn't appear until Zed. In Spring there was a huge hype train for Imp, Dade, and Flame, and rightfully so as their teams were in the Spring Finals.

Dlift hyped Uzi in an AMA but since people don't take the time to watch Chinese games, any Chinese ADC that gets named really just becomes "Chinese ADCs are good." Hell, for the longest time I didn't realize Namei was this famed Devil that he hyped.

DLift actually overhyped Devil, but that's because they exhibit the same kinds of mistakes. :D

you guys are being silly sitting in a bubble if you think uzi was known by everyone for months.

Even here he was mostly known by being referenced, I doubt most people watched Royal play. There were tumbleweeds rolling through the LPL threads, 2 full seasons got less discussion than an average OGN matchday.

Yango could invent a Chinese toplaner and constantly name drop him on GD, 8 months from now TL-ers would be upset that the legendary Ognay isn't in China's All-Star team

Man, I still won't forget watching Devil on the edge of Karthus defile with Varus, plinking away at karthus all while kiting out the defile perfectly.

Nah the wexaio hypetrain originates back to when World Elite owned China so hard that they were already qualified for worlds in season 2 before anyone thought it was possible, when that IEM where WE beat CLG and dlift spoke incredibly highly of wexaio the hype train pretty much never stopped until now when WE failed to make the playoffs.

WX had hype in Season 2 finals.

He also played on WE which was (and probably still is) the most famous Chinese team, compared to Royal which has been really inconsistent and didn't qualify for the playoffs in Spring.

English commentary stream (along with access to the Korean players) with game sound is huge.

Unless the Riot LPL team can actually cover the players (and I doubt they have the language skill to do so), it will be inferior to OGN coverage.
