Unfounded matchfixing accusations are not welcome. Refrain from making off-the-wall accusations without concrete evidence.

I think so too. Peke looked rly shaky in lane nd that is XWX's strong point. Maybe Fnatic can still win though.

Now I kind of wish Riot would copy TI format and have one 16 man group, double round robin - top 8 make it to playoffs.


Each team plays 30 games? That's 240 games in the group stage alone. That's as many as you have in an entire LCS split. That would be some grueling endurance. Even in The Invitational, the teams only played 15 games in the group stage. Even assuming you split this over 2 weekends, each team would basically play 4 games a day. If you split it over 2 weeks, they'd still play 2 games a day, every day, for those two weeks.

... then the playoff bracket would start.


Each team plays 15 my bad.


Even then you end up with an imbalance where every team plays an extra game on either blue side or red side. Since blue side is at least 55-45 favored (see earlier post on this page) and as high as 72-28 favored, then it's a major advantage to have 8 blue side games instead of 7. Additionally, if you only have a single round-robin, if you get to play the hardest teams while on Blue Side, then you will have an inflated record over another team that played the hardest teams on Red Side.

I don't say this to unduly call you out. I say this to show that it's non-trivial to come up with a fair and feasible solution to how to organize Worlds.


Don't really get why you saying how "unfeasible" a format it is when he just said to copy the TI4 format so clearly it's not unfeasible.


The "fair" was about using the exact TI format, because of the imbalance of Red and Blue sides. The "feasible" was about his first suggestion to do a double round-robin (240 games).


Dire is considered imbalanced in Dota2 and yet no one complained about the imbalance at TI4.


DotA players like to moan about 'OP' things(Dire adv, push-comps) and sometimes even patch changes (i rmbr some whining about how first-wave creep equilibrium was being handled), but the playerbase never moans about gameplay things for too long, we eventually just deal with whatever state the game's at. And surprising things are born out of it. (go go VG! carry on the DK spirit and gimme more wacky comps that somehow work!!!) Also surprisingly receptive to patch changes in articular.

League playerbase never seems to stop moaning on the other hand. Or it might just be r/leagueoflegends. >_>

I kid.

EDIT: Anyone know if the Garena-TW is covering SG groupstage or they've stopped worlds coverage now that all the TW teams are out? Can't seem to find any stream links. okay turns out I was just too early.

Its because in LOL things are patched before people can find a way around them. The changes are too rapid and frequent to warrant innovating and trying to revultionaize gameplay. Instead everyone just play strongest (perceived) champs and w8 for things to be patched up.
Pathetic Greta hater.
