Yeah, they're like... half-bowls, or something? Might be just to block the lighting.

lux needs a lot of cdr and/or ap to do anything at all. maybe he's trying to help riot promote the new lux skin

She's very feast-or-famine compared to the other AP supports. Vel'Koz has true damage, Brand has %HP, Zyra has her plants' scaling, and Lux... doesn't have any of that.

This stage setup is pretty cool.

Is this a best of 5?

You never know. With a Worlds final like this, I'd be surprised if no one had a few aces to pull out of their sleeves. The MF pick came completely out of the blue.

why would they design the booths to hide the teams from a) the crowd and b) each other :confused:

They explained the clamshells as how they're preventing the players from seeing the display jumbotrons.

It lets them put the players on the stage instead of tucked up to one side which is how they did it back in season 3.

i like the part of the stage setup where instead of putting the teams in the middle of the stage and facing them away from each other, they made a giant empty area the size of the basketball court and put the players in a half igloo

yeah but why would you have one of your players spam it that hard, it's too loving obvious and they're just gonna spend a ban on it if wraith comes in

yasuo and urgot mid, mf and varus adc are the most likely pocket picks from samsung

I'm going to prophecise the end of this:

SKT is going to lose one match, probably the first one.

Then they stomp and win.

ban mf into letting them first pic zyra? I mean i know skt is kind of known for letting their opponents get comfort picks game 1 but at that point it seems like you shoulda just not wasted a ban on mf.
