I didn't realize it could end so quickly. They didn't really explain the rules or I guess assumed that people had seen the earlier qualifiers. It was kind of anti-climatic.

Tower or 2 kills or 100 cs.

I'd love to see it moved to a BO3 format, tbh.

They repeated the rules... repeatedly. 2 Kills, 100 cs, or enemy tower down. Those are the three win conditions for duo game

Yeah, to be honest, one game is a bit short for this.

I think they just played it smart being behind. I thought it was more interesting than the two kill NA match because you could see some strategy beginning to form.

Same. The 100 CS limit is to pressure the players into action, Korea played it well.

I think they should have set specific champion pools though, kind of makes the thing pointless if the junglers can play Kennen vs Annie or something like that.

I'm not sure what that Insec vs. Saint game had to do with jungling, but it definitely owned.

Yeah, I'd like to say don't worry Saint and Insec will meet later, but I honestly think that NA is going to lose to China, Eu is going to lose to KR, and then NA is going to lose to EU, so they'll never see Korea. :(

I like how the players don't stick to the old meta and try to take all the advantages the new map offers. Heimer almost did it... almost.

This is an excellent gamemode. The endings are pretty phenomenal with the gambits for turret damage, csing, or killing.

I'm kind of surprised we don't see more midlane champs since the map seems to be basically a midlane. Le Blanc would be pretty sick.

China has multiple shards, like WoW basically. Except they're named after factions in the game.. Demacia, Ionia, Noxus, etc.

The fans identify really strongly with the lore, it's pretty awesome :)

I am addicted to video games.
That stage is pretty much the coolest thing ever. The production value is actually approaching levels where I'm not embarrassed to watch e sports!

Edit: although I see they haven't learned from the "players can just turn their heads to see the screen and giant spectator mini map." What the gently caress? For season 3 championships tell them they need to make it literally impossible to see a spectator screen, not just kinda hard.
