They should show voyboy in return in NBA television playing basketball with him.

For some reason I don't think that would have the same positive response the other way around...

Had Pobelter played LeBlanc actually in LCS? Or it's 10th champion in 11 games? Because i somehow don't remember it.

It was CLG who forced them out of their comfort zone while letting 4 of their best champions probably. Are you really serious in taking this win from CLG and just leaving it as C9's loss? I concur.

Think you should specify mainstream American sports or at least American Sport presentation.

I guess it would if it would be similar to the video they made for LoL. The equivalent to playing normals together in LoL would be Voyboy and Gordon playing with some random high school basketball players.

The only way a "terrible" CLG team could ever hope to beat a team like C9 is get ridiculously fortunate kills in lane, keep the game even in gold, win some miraculous team fights, take the game to 50 minutes, get a baron, and finally end the game.

It's been awhile since we have seen Voli! :O I always felt iffy about him even when he was popular though, so this should be interesting for me to watch.

What were the predictions for CLG vs C9? (In terms of the viewer percentage vote before the game)
Edit: Whoops sorry for the double post. You guys need to talk more!
