Am I the only person concerned that Riot didn't sell out the semi finals?

Maybe it's because the link to whoever handles the galen tickets is dead/broken :I

I couldn't even buy a ticket if I wanted.

wow

Just finally watched the quarterfinals (wow, I managed to avoid spoilers on all the matches! )

Great games :D the SKT games were a bit of a stomp, but I think every other game was great, tons of close ones!

Seemed to be much better than most of the group games too ^^

edit: fnatic vs royal is going to be EPIC!

His only comfort assassin is Fizz.

65% of his entire lpl games are just Fizz

He played Vlad for his first time vs OMG and a Zed which got in the shadow of Uzi and Godlike performances

His Ahri is atrocious, he plays a good Gragas.

Trying to play the 1v1 vs Peke when your champion pool is 1/4th as big is a losing cause

I just hope Peke won't pick TF into Fizz again.. Because when he was asked about the pick he said that he just failed when he died to Fizz 1v1 early on but otherwise the strat was good. I'm afraid.

SKT1 Fnatic finals incoming, all 4 teams can take it honestly. Its gona be gud.

Also, no 3rd place match, someone told me in the quarterfinal thread that they couldnt do it cuz they got limited time on the venue or whatnot, and i thought that was reasonable. Until i found out the finals is played a week after the semifinal -.-
They could have put the 3rd place match on sunday, after the semis, they just chose not to, dunno why

well, fnatic kind of has to ban fizz and annie, unless they know how to deal with annie. royal can let kassa through if they can pick fizz against it.

You are refering to my comment I guess.

Venues are expensive. Very expensive. They didn't even sell out the Semis. How on earth would they sell out for a 3rd place match? They probably would hold a 3rd place match if there's a way to do it in a reasonable way and fit in somewhere appropriate. But the only way it would be worth it is to hold in their own small studio Riot used for the LCS. That would be a joke and and insult to the teams. A 3rd place match isn't even a necessity for the competition of the whole WC.

tl;dr: Gain and cost of a 3rd place match aren't in balance.

Why would they ban Kass, Wh1t3zz actually plays Kass.

EDIT: I actually think Fnatic is slightly favored for this match (though I'm obviously rooting for Royal), but some people have rather ridiculous predictions.

Is third place even neccesary, the nature of no double elimination of course means no third place automatically but I don't see it as a neccesity. I don't think Riot is worried about money, its a small expense on top of it given all the other monies they pull out.

And yes I am looking more forward to NJS vs SKT then Royal vs Fnatic.

partially because NJS has Reach.

I think Royal is probably going to win but I'm hoping Fnatic can pull an upset off

Interesting you think Fnatic is favored, why is that?
