You wrote Loco wrong
just finished watching, omg looked pretty good and shield was just awful at drafts, their pick and ban strategy really boggles the mind
champions have been really strange this worlds, early on it was tristana, then it was rumble, now it's ryze and janna has been quietly being taking so many wins, i feel like seeing picks develop through worlds has been very interesting
so i'm switching it up for the skins to be
ryze
khazix
syndra
lucy
nami (it should be janna but no repeats i'm guessing)

janna hard counters engage which makes siege comps with lucian/trist extremely strong. they can back up her disengage with good engage in the jungle (lee sin, j4) or top (maokai, ryze) to make a ridiculous teamfight comp too.

I'd hate for LMQ to leave, though I'm a big Curse fan, I've grown to rather like LMQ and really enjoy them being in the LCS.
Still, that's for another time. Can't wait until the weekend, we have some really epic games coming up. FIGHTING SAMSUNG WHITE!

Why is 1st and 2nd facing each other on one side and 3rd and 4th on the other?
Because they didn't do a new draw of the brackets after groups was over.
Don't tell me XWX is leaving me.
Couldn't stay too much time without inSec, understandable. I'm still not too sure about those rumors, will be great anyway to see what type of teams they will form.
I read that insecure and Uzi don't get along. Any truth to that?
there are rumors about lmq going back to China as well
i said here is a post but i didn't link it haha wat a goof

The return of Elementz.
I don't really know, this is what Zero said on an interview during the match between SHRC and EDG:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHbaPUUgjCw
inSec said in this interview that there were issues but they are solved now. They probably really discussed because of the various possible strategies, picks and bans, etc. but I don't think it's really important.
insecure? If he needs hugs, I'm 100% available.

can any of them even speak chinese?
Insec seems to do fine using English as a common language, right?
As far as I know inSec and Zero learned basic Chinese, and they use that and basic English. But I don't know how much they can interact using only basic Chinese and basic English. Never heard inSec talking in English besides saying "bye" and "go" and probably some others basic words(unless I forget something), but obviously I only saw him on interviews and tv shows so I have no idea on how good his English really is.
lolesports.com, scroll down, it has a countdown for ya.
Matches are on Saturday and Sunday both at 4:00 am and both rebroadcasting at 1:00 pm.

So with OGN requiring each organisation to enter but one team in its league, does this make Samsung Blue v Samsung White do or die in more ways than one?
Sell the team that loses in the semis to Jin Air.
If a Chinese team wins the finals - sell both.
Unless they do some player switching shenanigans one team is probably just going to get picked up by some other org.
edit: I guess we are going to see more Korean players moving to China.

Why does Samsung sponsor two teams?
(actually why are they here to begin with)
(actually why are they here to begin with)
most of the organizations in korea have two teams so they can scrim each other without giving away their picks and strategies
i say it's pretty stupid that a company like samsung has enough money that can just put two teams in the league so i'm not against this change but it wonder if change will be for better or worse

What a terrible move. I wonder how many korean players we will lose and who will get kicked off which team?

I see
so clearly NA should just get Apple to sponsor two teams
so clearly NA should just get Apple to sponsor two teams
It seems like it will buff midrange play, at least for a while (you won't have Samsung scrim Samsung daily while everyone else practices against second-tier at best, at least until we see Samsung Electronics Blue, Samsung Heavy Industries White, and Samsung C&T Red), but tone down the absolute peaks by the same token. It should make it a more competitive game, while at the same time allowing for top players to get more exposure (but journeyman players to get less). And of course, it deals with the potential collusion issues.
I will miss the Masters format, though.

There are only so many companies in Korea that are capable of sponsoring teams. Pretty much all the big companies have LoL teams so with this new rule there are likely going to be fewer professional players.
It's true that Kesports may have exhausted their sponsors - but there are a lot of mediocre teams that could be bolstered by a 1 team policy. IM, CJ, JinAir, xenics etc.
As of now, the bigs are monopolising the players and the scrimmage time
Samsung will undoubtedly be hurt by this, but beyond them and najin, most teams can benefit from a refocusing on a main roster.

The main issue, that I see with this move, is that a lot of players are going to simply be dropped.
