Why do people always get upset that prizepools are low? No major sport has great prizepools for their championship games. The superbowl only pays each player on the winning team $100k each. Sports will always be about marketing and sponsorships and not playing for a prize.

I understand League people might feel inadequate when they compare themselves to Dota 2 TI, but that's purely groupfunded. The high prize pool and no other stable income kind of ruins the Dota esports scene since it's the only thing that matters all year long so you get weird team moves.

I understand why people care but it's still weird to me how eager people are to throw money at Riot/Valve. Like fans are literally begging them to create new and innovative ways of letting them buy more hats with a small cut going to esports. If you really have too much money burning a hole in your wallet you might as well just donate to your favorite player/team at that point...

It's interesting that everyone loves CoreJJ now that he's in the World Final's because when he was on Dignitas most people either didn't care or hated him because he wasn't QTpie

I mean let's be real that's a pretty valid reason to hate someone

I wonder if we'll see wraith at all this series. I wouldn't do it but you never know.

Also I bet Bengi goes 3-0 again.

Oh man, I pray we get a Lux support out of SSG during this series. I want solo queue bot lane to be a smoking crater by the time this Worlds is done.

CuVee is seriously one of the best toplaners I've ever seen as far as winning the lane goes. Hiding in the bush and ambushing Impact as he came back to lane was a frankly brilliant play, and I don't think I've ever really seen anyone else do something like that.

Cuvee has been a loving monster this Worlds. Maybe the player who has stepped up the most ? Or maybe just the one who has benefitted the most from the meta as an individual player.

She feels like a bit of a lame duck compared to Zyra, Vel'Koz, and Brand. Her mana costs are pretty atrocious and I never feel like I have a huge amount of kill pressure, especially pre-6. I'd actually really like to play her, but she feels strictly inferior to the other AP supports.

She's better at kill stealing though; the most important aspect of supporting.

I can imagine someone said "games start at 4:30" with a fan expo and etc. I wouldn't judge attendance by the pre-show music thing. If it's still poo poo in 25 minutes...

Well, that looks pretty full to me?

It wasn't the Korean. It was his voice when intruding the players. He was trying to go for what a announcer at a boxing match or mma fight would be like. His voice isn't right for that. Just speak normally and it would of been better.

I agree. Rivington's grown on me over the years and I don't actually hate listening to him that much, but you really need to have a stronger baritone to do WWE introductions.
